Hard News: Friday Music: Grey Fucking Area, in reply to Stephen Judd,
If you pay a lot of money for an autographed Mein Kampf I damn well will think less of you. “Owning a book” is wilfully missing the point.
(Snap). It isn't a smear when the guy rolled in the mud of his own volition.

would anyone have summoned the Nazis had Dotcom not been, y’know, German?
And owner of a signed copy of Mein Kampf.

Pike River was on about the same scale as the recent disaster in Turkey, relative the size of our country -- people SHOULD be out in the streets about this. Or the slow motion disaster that is unfolding in our forests.
Ironically, at the same time you can find any number of people complaining about namby-pamby health and safety rules that won't let you do anything, and yet it is so toothless that not only did 21 people die in a single "accident", but no-one is going to go to jail for it.

Speaker: Sponsored post: Speed and Safety, in reply to Matthew Poole,
In terms of released energy, yes, it’s four times as bad thanks to the “squared” in the theory of relativity.
Umm?

Muse: Guilt By Association Copy, in reply to Russell Brown,
I didn’t mean to imply that Dotcom has roomful of Nazi memorabilia. Nor would I necessarily judge someone for owning a copy of Mein Kampf. But to go out of your way to buy a copy whose main attraction is that it was personally handled by Hitler – I think you are entitled to think there’s something just a little bit sick about that.
-
Someone's showing you round their house, and they open a door and say "Here's where I keep my copy of Mein Kampf that Hitler personally signed, along with my other Nazi memorabilia" -- yeah, I'd judge them.
If you are arguing that this was germane to his legal problems, then I guess the answer is no -- but is it relevant when we are talking about someone who wants to bankroll a political party that may be able to influence the composition and policies of our next government? Then I think the answer is likely yes.
-
It's ironic, although the legal case against Dotcom has grown thinner with time, the enthusiasm with which I would greet his deportation (to anywhere, I'm not fussy) grows stronger with each passing day.

Wow. This is quiet. Everyone must be reading twitter.

Maker or taker, parasite or host?
Another question is what sort of advertisers would buy space that had been, um, liberated from Google? Am predicting it will be all classy stuff – you know, Make Money From Home, Free iPods, Cheap Viagra, Meet Your New Russian Girlfriend, Machines in Your Basement to Make Free Energy, One Simple Trick to Help you Lose Belly Fat, Vaccine Denialists…
