COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

  2. Did you say something mean about O'bammie? Or one of our Middle-eastern cuzzins?

  3. I am not going to be dictated to by what I post. I am not moderating anything for anyone. I say what I think. I don't need any thought police.

    If the lights get turned off, it wasn't done by me.

  4. The Google Ministry for State Security, Stassi, does not tell you who the worm is. To be honest, I didn't even bother reading the email. I really have no interest. I don't want to know. I can only hope that I have the occasion to offend them again and again.

  5. :)

    Well, they may close us down, but I gotta agree.

    Fuck'em is pretty much the perfect response. :)

  6. I guess Google honed their Censorship Skills in China.

    They'll probably get better as time goes by.

  7. If we get shut down we will re-camp at wordpress. I can't post at Belmont. Wretchard has banned me there.

  8. Well, if you're still here in the morning, I'll be here in the morning. If not, it's been real. :)

  9. Google has been out of control for some time. They took over youtube and gelded that. This is probably the start of some crackdown.

  10. Iran already ranks amongst the world’s worst when it comes to online censorship. The country's censors target a variety of content, including political opposition, human rights and news sites, and a range of 'offensive' sites.

    ...

    According to the Wall Street Journal, Turkey is backtracking on a plan to toughen Internet censorship. The plan, announced in May and set to take hold in August, would have required Turkish Internet service providers (ISPs) to offer four categories of access: family, child, domestic, and standard.

    ...

    Zimbabwean Vikas Mavhudzi is currently awaiting trial for allegedly posting a Facebook message on Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's wall that stated: "I’m overwhelmed, don’t know what to say Mr PM. What happened in Egypt is sending shockwaves to all dictators around the world.

  12. Ah, I gotta get some sleep. I'll find out in the morning.

  13. I think Wordpress is free. I love a fight and should have been shot a long time ago. I am living still and will be around and around unless of course you heard something :).

  14. You have to ask Wretchard Sam. He moderates and I guess he doesn't count me as moderate enough for his taste.

    ReplyDelete
  15. A man that ain't been banned is no man at all, that's what I sez. Excellent response deuce.

    Who knows, maybe Obumble is behind this, back in the shadows, having told some underling to get out there and have google harass sites that criticize THE NONE.

  17. The pussy, and I don't use that word too often, needs to get over him/her self and move on to the next blog.

  18. Maybe it was a pussy....

    Or a Rat...

    or maybe it was the PC police?

    Let's see...

    Obama is a shit...

    Rat is a shit...

    Did I offend?

  19. Didn't offend me.

    My working theory this early morning is that it was probably something Quirk said, badly misinterpreted.

    It could have been that story about the little bear cub jerking off until b the bear slayer runs him off.

    Some old goose in some rest home might find that offensive.

    Something tasteless like that, that brought tears of laughter to my old corrupt eyes.

    :)

  20. Come to think of it, I might be the 'culprit'.

    Perhaps some Friend of the Clearwater got ticked at the bad press I was giving them, and tried to slash and burn back.

    It's just like them too.

    Those vicious moles of nature.

    Their brains being as dry as the remainder biscuit after a voyage.

    Friends of the Clearwater I'm sure it was you.

    Thou art the veriest varlets that ever chewed with a tooth.

  21. It could have been some retro from the oil and gas lobby ticked off at Rufus too.

    I give up.
