Only those of us who walk alone have to worry about this as usual. Spank the poorboy. Like I care, I don't have anything to "give" so I know I'm marked as usual. This is the life that never ends. It just goes on and on my friends. Kill me. Go ahead and scare people to scramble to protect what they have and I can sleep in peace knowing that the morons will lose. He can't afford panic, but I'd love to start it anyway so that the strong will rise.

The evil empire, murderer of children is steady using it's tentacles in order to strangle our freedoms. The future brings an end of Internet anarchy when they control it all. All copying of music, movies and programs will come to a halt. Wanna surf? - pay up! free healthcare? - pay up! wanna drink free water? - pay up! If you can't afford it, goodbye. that's the new American way coming to your neighbour soon...

Tch... I don't see why people are complaining about this... If a citizen of any country's suspected of being a terrorist, they shouldn't be given a chance. Oh, wait, that's not fair, right, they need a trial. I agree but go tell that to all the Taliban that got killed in the war. Were they given a fair trial? No, they were killed on sight. You can't play fair with someone because he's from your country; that's bullshit. A terrorist's a terrorist and unless the thousands of other suspected terrorists are given a chance instead of being shot down, it doesn't matter if the guy's American or not. This is what war is, two groups defending their interest. One guy dying because he was a potential threat isn't much of an issue.

Uh...hexxor? You do realize you HAVE to pay for internet usage, right? And that you pay for water? And even with "free" healthcare, you'll still have to pay via taxes? You've ALWAYS had to...so I don't see how it would be the "new" American way. Also, I'd like to point out that I have no problem with it. Nothing in this life's for free, nor easy. America isn't some evil empire. This video makes it out that they can just burst into your living room, on a whim, and blast you and your family to Hell. Notice how the video showed no evidence of their claims. All the had was some guy saying things. Oh, yeah, and his opinions. No proof. Just words.

If a guy with a turban and a scraggly beard is pointing an AK-47 at me, I'm not going to ask to see his passport, I'm going to shoot him. This video is highly biased trying to make the US look as though we're on the same level as Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein and so on. This isn't about gassing villages or African genocide, this is about US citizens that defect to the enemy and attempt to kill US soldiers.
