riposta alla risposta di gabriele alla mia riposta
Caro Emilio,
ripasso dal blog dopo alcune ore e trovo una tua risposta inattesa perche' so che non ti piace scrivere. Si capisce allora che sei stato motivato!
Innanzitutto ti ringrazio per i complimenti ma tu non sei da meno nella padronanza della lingua, peccato che sei pigro e non ti piace scrivere troppo. Conoscendoti allora sappi che non mi aspetto una risposta alla riposta alla risposta eccetera, se hai voglia di farlo un giorno va bene, se no capiro' e non me ne avro' a male.
Voglio cominciare con una considerazione complessa: esistono varie scuole di Intelligenza Artificiale, le due principali che conosco sono la scuola logico-formale e quella che viene tecnicamente chiamata 'parallel distributing system' anche nota semplicemnete come 'Connectionism' che cerca di riprodurre le reti neuroniche, cioe' il cervello umano: mentre la prima funziona manipolando simboli, la seconda funziona un po sui principi dei neuroni, eccitazione/inibizione, apertura/ chiusura con la differenza che da un certo punto in poi il cervello funziona su reazioni chimiche e il computer su basi elettroniche. La seconda ha conseguito successi molto scarsi per quanto ne so ma mi interessa perche' ha a cuore con piu dedizione meccanismi tipici della mente umana. Una piacevole scoperta fu venire a conoscenza del fatto che secondo loro la mente umana fra le altre cose opera una ridistribuzione di certi dati che sono virtuali e non fattuali. Esempio: A dice " in america ci vorrebbe una persona come la Tatcher con pugno di ferro. B lo ascolta e comincia a trasportare mentalmente la Tatcher ( si scrive cosi'?) in Usa e da primo ministro inglese diventa presidente della Repubblica USA. B comincia a odiare la Tatcher americana su basi puramente ipotetiche. Ovviamente quella non potra' mai essere presidente usa ma cio non impedisce a B di nutrire avversione per questa versione americana dell'ex ministro inglese.
Qualcosa del genere hai fatto tu con l'affermazione che sei ateo ma poi hai affidato ai vangeli il tuo astio per gli ebrei. E i vangeli te li hanno puniti come ti aspettavi!
Tanto per cominciare non sappiamo neanche se Cristo e' veramente esistito, in secondo luogo non si capisce perche' avere condannato un uomo a morte ingiustamente, debba ricadere per secoli e secoli sui figli e i nipoti di una Terocrazia riprovevole magari ma non piu assassina di altre teocrazie, in particolare quella emersa dal cristianesimo nella forma di religione cattolico apostolica romana che per secoli ha ucciso gente solo perche non la pensavano come loro avevano ordinato, o ancora piu grave, erano malati di mente e in quanto tali erano considerati posseduti dal diavolo; perche' secondo te se Dio esiste veramente doveva accanirsi contro gli ebrei e perdonare papi vescovi e preti di merda che hanno fatto carneficine? Se esiste un dio simile io non voglio averci nulla a che fare e penso che anche tu dovresti prendere distanze.
In piu che cosa hanno fatto quei 15 milioni di europei morti durante l'epidemia di influenza che ha colpito l'europa agli inizi del secolo scorso. E quale Cristo avevano crocifisso quegli orientali, nel numero di 250 mila che in due ore sono stati fatti fuori dallo TSUNAMI, il maremoto che ha colpito l'Indonesia? Potrei fare la storia di decine di eventi in cui popoli interi ( vedi l'africa ) sono stati decimati a milioni e non hanno crocifisso nessuno.
Io credo piuttosto che viviamo in un mondo di merda, dove troverai sempre quello disposto a fare fuori qualche milione di persone in nome di qualche Dio che glielo ha ordinato o qualche causa di merda di cui dovremmo vergognarci.
Intanto se i palestinesi lo hanno preso a quel servizio, cosi possono dire molti popoli. Eccone un elenco riguardante solo l'europa nel xx secolo
il genocidio degli armeni, (1915/16); la deportazione e il massacro e la legittimazione dello scambio di popolazioni del trattato di Losanna del 1923 fra Grecia e Turchia; “L’espulsione degli ebrei d’Europa come pietra miliare dell’Olocausto” (dal 1933); il trasferimento degli abitanti della Carelia occidentale (1939/40 e 1940/47); trasferimenti forzati, e deportazioni di polacchi, baltici e ucraini (1939/49); l’espulsione e la deportazione dei tedeschi alla fine della seconda guerra mondiale; il trasferimento degli italiani dalla Yugoslavia; trasferimenti come conseguenza del conflitto di Cipro (1963/64 e 1974); guerre e espulsioni nella ex-Yugoslavia: l’esempio di Bosnia ed Erzegovina (anni 1990).
Questi altri popoli che avevano fatto per dover subire queste angherie?
risposta alla risposta di Bruno
Caro Bruno tutte le volte che leggo i tuoi scritti .... l'invidia mi divora mentre leggo le tue frasi scevre di sbagli e piene di logica, che sono sicuro convince molte persone.
Non hai convinto me...sono ancora del parere che i poveri palestinesi l'hanno avuto nel di dietro e sono diventati i giocattoli di Israele.
Gli ebrei sono sempre stati bene sparpagliati nel mondo... se io credessi in dio ti citerei un passo del vangelo secondo matteo che narra il processo a Gesu... tiricordi? pilato... era disposto ad assolvere Gesu... dichiaro' "io non trovo alcuna colpa in questo uomo...e la folla di ebrei grido'
crocifiggiloooooooo "crucifige" e fa che il il suo sangue ricada su di noi...i nostri figli ed i figli dei nostri figli. Cosa che a quanto pare avvenne perche i romani distrussero gerusalemme e non lasciarono nemmeno una pietra sopra laltra e gli ebrei furono sparpagliati nel mondo per 2000 anni... ed ora hanno perfinola bomba atomica?.... se fossi un cristiano.... io ti direi.. che la fine del mondo e' vicina.... meno male che sono ateo lol.
hey... San matteo era in gamba eh? fu l'unico degli evangelisti che racconto ' quell'episodio .... giusto lol.
Ti ho mai detto che quando ero cristiano Don bertini (ilparroco) mi mise in carica di insegnare il vangelo ai bimbi la domenica mattina.... ero bravino anche.Mah....
risposta a Gabriele
Caro Gabriele non sono uno storico quindi cio' che dico va preso con le pinze. Io in gioventu' sono stato In Israele, o la Palestina occupata, come meglio pensi che si debba definire.
Ovviamente qualunque persona civile e dotata di buon senso riconosce il grande valore della cultura ebraica. il loro contributo alla scienza e dopo tutto, alla religione da cui veniamo, visto che il vecchio Testamento e' valido per tutti ( voi o loro non so, per me no). Al punto che probabilmente la sconfitta della Germania va ascritta all'idiozia di perseguitare un popolo che ha contribuito tanto alla cultura, alla scienza e la tecnologia dell'occidente, gli ebrei perseguitati se ne scapparono per fare posto a un branco di pseudoscienziati che si affannavano a trovare le radici della superiorita' della razza ariana e altre cretinate del genere, mentre in America gli ebrei scappati hanno costruito bombe atomiche.
Non solo la Germania di Hitler impoveri' la propria cultura facendo scappare menti elette, ma sollevo' lo sdegno del mondo civile e fece conoscere al mondo intero gli aspetti piu tenebrosi di un regime fondato sulla follia, l'approssimazione e un arbitrario senso di superiorita' che mi ricorda tanto quello di Oldano che si crede piemontese e in quanto tale superiore ai merdionali di cui condivide i peggiori difetti e neanche un pregio.
Ma torniamo alla storia come la conosco io.
Gli ebrei e gli arabi palestinesi vivevano in pace da circa 2000 anni in quei luoghi e quando io ho visitato quei posti c'erano ancora tracce incoraggianti di questa convivenza pacifica. Questo per dire che quella terra, apparteneva agli uni e agli altri e non e' stato un regalo degli americani a nessuno. gli americani hanno eletto Israele come cane da guardia ai loro interessi in medio oriente, non vi sono altre ragioni, oltre il contributo degli ebrei americani durante le elezioni.
I problemi sono cominciati quando gli ebrei e solo loro, senza l'appoggio degli arabi misero in fuga gli inglesi inaugurando una nuova era di terrorismo moderno. Io condanno il terrorimo da qualunque parte venga ma sta di fatto che gli ebrei cacciarono quei cialtroni che si credevano ancora depositari di un impero mentre erano stati mandati affanculo dapperttutto: a partire dagli Stati Uniti, All'India e infine all'Africa.
Una volta liberata la Paelstina gli ebrei sono emigrati in massa verso questo paesino che non e' piu grande della Campania o forse appena un po di piu; certamente ebrei di mentalita' tedesca, o russa o inglese, avrebbero trovato quella degli arabi palestinesi poco congeniale alla loro e magari anche a quella degli autoctoni ebrei ma ai quali erano legati dalla stessa religione.
Ovviamente trovo ridicolo il fatto che alcuni possano credere che un realtor di alto rango come Dio possa aver assegnato a un popolo una terra, come trovo ridicolo che alcuni credono che facendosi saltare in aria uccidendo bambini e donne innocenti vanno diritto in paradiso a godersi i frutti dei loro misfatti grazie a un Dio generoso che gli fa trovare il pranzo e le vergini pronte.
Se masse di ebrei sono emigrati verso questa terra che non vale un tubo, piccola e angusta, forse dovremmo cercarne le cause nel comportamento vergognosamente passivo dell'Occidente, che compresa la chiesa cattolica, e rimasto per lungo tempo a guardare, se non addirittura con ammirazione, il piu grande genocidio di massa della storia conosciuta. Solo le grandi pestilenze del passato hanno causato piu morti di quelli intenzionalmente uccisi da un branco di delinquenti che volevano impossessarsi del mondo.
Se tutto quello che dico sopra e' vero, allora dobbiamo capire, se non giustificare, il tanto ardore che questa gente mette nel difendere cio' che crede gli appartiene. Invece di criticare e cercare il colpevole in un inestricabile matassa di eventi storici, l'occidente dovrebbe fare tutto il possibile per ricreare la convivenza in quei luoghi: uno stato palestinese che magari si possa giovare di un po di terra aldila' dei confini - visto che i paesi limitrofi arabi godono di terre sconfinate e usano Israele per distrarre le loro masse dai veri problemi: in molti dei paesi arabi le popolazioni fanno la fame e vegono distratte dal tentativo dei loro governi di spostare l'attenzione sugli ebrei che dopo tutto sono piu moderni, democratici, e civili di loro.
Se tu facessi un bel viaggio da quelle parti, non so andando prima a Tel Aviv e poi a Alessandria di Egitto e ti trovassi a dover scegliere dove vivere, ti assicuro che sceglieresti Tel Aviv, non abituato come sei a dormire in un edificio senza rifiniture esterne, con finestre che sono buchi e all'ora della preghiera tutti fuori a faccia a terra con le pecore che dormono con te!
Gli Ebrei
Vorrei premettere che pur essendo di idee classificate "di destra" io rispetto tutte le religioni e credo fermamente nel diritto di tutti i popoli di questa terra al diritto di liberta'di espressione ,nonche'di religione e di pensiero.
In italia gli ebrei sono sempre stati rispettati e protetti da qualsiasi discriminazione.....ed io Gabriele sono il primo ad applaudire la loro liberta' e il loro contributo, sia di cultura o di lavoro.
Quello che mi "rompe "un po' e' la situazione creata in palestina .... il fatto che quella terra che e' stata palestinese per 2000 anni ,tutto ad un tratto viene regalata al popolo ebreo ...... mente i veri abitanti di quella parte del mondo sono sottomessi ad angherie che rasentano un'altro olocausto, questa volta un olocausto di palestinesi.
Se il governo statunitense era cosi ansioso di dare terra agli ebrei....perche non gli ha dato uno stato dell'unione? che so.... Alabama o magari Alaska perche' derubare i palestinesi... e perche' spendere zillions of dollars per mantenere un lampante sopruso ai legittimi abitanti della palestina?
Qualcuno me lo spieghi per favore....... e scusate i miei errori grammaticali...
e so che il soggetto e' uno da trattare con le pinze... lol but... conoscete Gabriele .... 'bull in china store"
Ciao
Ecclestone dice che non e' nazista ma ha elogiato Hitler: a che punto si diventa nazisti?
Bernie fa marcia indietro"Io nazista? Un malinteso"
Il patron della F.1, che in un'intervista al Times aveva elogiato l'operato di Hitler, prova a correggere il tiro: "Mi sono limitato a dire che prima della dittatura aveva preso delle decisioni giuste, ma non intendevo ferire con le mie parole i sentimenti di una comunitá"
AMBURGO (Germania), 6 luglio 2009 - "Un grande malinteso". Così Bernie Ecclestone definisce la bufera generata dalle sue parole su Adolf Hitler e sui regimi totalitari. Il boss del 'Circus' ha elogiato l'operato del 'Fuhrer' in un'intervista al 'Times'. Ora prova a correggere il tiro: "In quell'intervista abbiamo parlato di strutture e di come a volte possa essere positivo prendere decisioni senza limitazioni di sorta", dice Ecclestone alla 'Bild'. Contro di lui si è scagliato anche il Congresso Ebraico Mondiale, che ne ha chiesto le dimissioni invitando i team, i piloti e i paesi che ospitano i Gran Premi a sospendere ogni collaborazione.
Ecclestone precisa di non avere mai preso Hitler come un esempio: "Mi è stato domandato se conoscessi un dittatore e io mi sono limitato a dire che prima dei suoi orribili crimini agì con successo contro la disoccupazione e la crisi economica". Il patron del Circus assicura che non era nelle sue intenzioni "ferire con le mie parole i sentimenti di una comunitá". Poi aggiunge: "Molte persone nella mia cerchia di amici più intimi sono di origine ebraica. Chi mi conosce sa che mai attaccherei le minoranze"
TO OUR LADY OF MANCHESTER
THANK YOU FOR LIKING MY POSTING : i wanted the author to speculate about the conspiracy theory, ACCORDING TO WHICH THIS NATION WAS FOUNDED ON THE INTENTION OF DOMINATING THE ENTIRE WORLD, IT SEEMS THAT MANY PRESIDENTS WERE FREEMASONS AND SOME OF THE MASONRY SYMBOLS HAVE BEEN POSTED ON THE DOLLAR BILL. WASHINGTON DC ARCHITECTURE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THOSE SYMBOLS
HE IS TOO OLD TO DO ANYTHING LOL, THE AUTHOR
THE MASONIC FOUNDATIONS

The Founding Fathers
The Masonic Architecture of Washington, D.C.
The Great Seal of the United States
The George Washington Masonic National Memorial
George Washington's Masonic Correspondence
MASONIC LAYOUT OF D.C.
The following extended excerpt explains the Freemasonic symbolism in the city of Washington D.C. (The author's dominionist position that we must "reclaim America" for Christ is not endorsed by Watch Unto Prayer, for reasons that will become evident as this series continues.)
"A curious piece of the Masonic puzzle is the actual street layout for our Capital city, Washington, D.C.. You see, the city was laid out in the form of the central Masonic Symbols, the Square, the Compass, the Rule and the Pentagram."Take any good street map of downtown Washington, D.C. and find the Capitol Building. Facing the Capitol from the Mall and using the Capitol building as the head or top of the Compass, the left leg is represented by Pennsylvania Ave. and the right leg, Maryland Ave. The Square is found in the usual Masonic position with the intersection of Canal St. and Louisiana Ave. The left leg of the Compass stands on the White House and the right leg stands on the Jefferson Memorial. The circle drive and short streets behind the building form the head and ears of what Satanists call the Goat Of Mendes or Goat's head!
"Sitting on top of the White House is an inverted 5 pointed star, or Pentagram. It faces North, with the point down in true occult fashion. It sits within the intersections of Connecticut and Vermont Avenues north to Dupont and Logan Circles, with Rhode Island and Massachusetts going to Washington Circle to the West and Mt. Vernon Square on the East.
"The Pentagram or five-pointed star is, of course, both a Masonic symbol and the ancient symbol of witchcraft. With its point facing down (or south, when placed on the ground) it is especially associated with Satanism. Satanists can be found wearing the inverted pentagram frequently; and it appears on the cover of many black magic books, including THE SATANIC BIBLE. In this form, it is also the emblem of the Eastern Star, the women's Masonic organization.
"The center of the pentagram is 16th St. where, thirteen blocks due north of the very center of the White House, the Masonic House of The Temple sits at the top of this occult iceberg.
"The Washington Monument stands in perfect line to the intersecting point of the form of the Masonic square, stretching from the House of the Temple to the Capitol building. Within the hypotenuse of that right triangle sits many of the headquarters buildings for the most powerful departments of government, such as the Justice Dept., U.S. Senate and the Internal Revenue Service.
"It would be great to know that your national Capital is bathed in continual prayer and to believe that its buildings and monuments have been dedicated in prayer, but do you realize that every key Federal building from the White House to the Capitol Building has had a cornerstone laid in a Masonic ritual and had specific Masonic paraphernalia placed in each one. Again, wonderful if we are talking about our one true God in all this, but such is not the case.
"The cornerstones of all these buildings have been laid in Masonic ritual, dedicated to the demonic god of Masonry, JaoBulOn. That is the secret name of the Masonic god, the "Lost Word" learned in the ritual of the Royal Arch degree. "JAO" is the Greek for Jehovah, "BUL" is a rendering of the name, BAAL, and "ON" is the Babylonian name of OSIRIS.
"Freemasonry boasts 16 Presidents, including Ronald Reagan, 41 Federal Judges, 60 Congressmen, 14 members of the Judiciary Committee and 18 Senators. One can only guess at the numbers involved within the many governmental departments. There is no doubt that Masonic conspirators plotted against this nation from its very inception to the present hour...." (14)
"I'll spare you assorted conjecture on why the designers of this city decided to place Masonic symbolism all across the landscape on a scale that can be seen from space. Just take a look." (15)
THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT
Masonic Stones of the Washington Monument
| "On the 4th of July, 1848, under a clear sky in the presence of the President of the United States and virtually every notable of the government including former first lady Dolley Madison, the cornerstone was set with masonic ceremonies by the Grand Lodge of Masons of the District of Columbia. One of the principle addresses of the occasion was given by Benjamin B. French, Grand Master, who wore the masonic apron that Washington wore at the laying of the cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol. In his address French referred to the masonic master's chair used by Washington as Worshipful Master of Washington-Alexandria Lodge, and the gavel used by the first President to set the cornerstone of the Capitol, in the custody of Potomac Lodge #5 of Georgetown, D.C. Both of these were on display for the occasion along with other Washington masonic relics." (18) | |

His fans describe him as the most beloved Italian artist of all time and the greatest of the last century. He was best known for comic roles, but in the latter part of his life showed that he was comfortable in dramatic portrayals as well.
He was the illegitimate son of Anna Clemente and Marquis Giuseppe de Curtis, who legally recognized him as his son in 1928. On his father's death in 1933 Totò was adopted by Marquis Francesco Gagliardi Focas.

E PLURIBUS UNUM: One day the author may want to explain to you what it means and why it is on the American $
Great Seal > Mottoes > E Pluribus Unum
"On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord." – President Barack Obama, Inaugural Address
E PLURIBUS UNUM – Origin and Meaning of the Motto Carried by the American Eagle
"E Pluribus Unum" was suggested by the committee Congress appointed on July 4, 1776 to design "a seal for the United States of America." The below sketch of their design accompanied a detailed description of their idea for the new nation's official emblem.
A motto's purpose is to express the theme of a seal's imagery – especially that of the shield.
The center section of their shield has six symbols for "the Countries from which these States have been peopled:" the rose (England), thistle (Scotland), harp (Ireland), fleur-de-lis (France), lion (Holland), and an imperial two-headed eagle (Germany).
Linked together around the shield are 13 smaller shields, each with the initials for one of the "thirteen independent States of America."
Translating E PLURIBUS UNUM The general meaning of each Latin word is clear: Pluribus is related to the English word: "plural." Unum is related to the English word: "unit."
E Pluribus Unum describes an action: Many uniting into one. An accurate translation of the motto is "Out of many, one" – a phrase that elegantly captures the symbolism on the shield.
On August 20, 1776, this first committee submitted their design to Congress (including Ben Franklin's idea for a reverse side).
Although their designs were not approved (and two subsequent committees would be appointed), their motto was selected by Charles Thomson six years later when he created the final Great Seal in 1782 and inscribed E PLURIBUS UNUM on the scroll carried in the beak of the American bald eagle who carries the "power of peace" in his right talon.
In his official explanation of the Great Seal, Thomson said this motto refers to the union between the states and federal government, as symbolized by the shield of thirteen stripes on the eagle's breast.
Other symbols of unity on the Great Seal: Bundle of 13 Arrows Constellation of 13 Stars (More about the number thirteen.)
In the 1770s, symbols of unity were seen in many places, especially on the money. See emblems on Continental Currency that inspired and reflected E Pluribus Unum.
"We may not look the same and we may not have come from the same place, but we all want to move in the same direction – towards a better future for our children and our grandchildren.... This nation is more than the sum of its parts, that out of many, we are truly one." – Barack Obama, "A More Perfect Union," Philadelphia, March 18, 2008
Watch America's two sides unite.
L'Emigrazione Italiana negli Stati Uniti d'America
--Che razza di America era questa, pensavo, quando sentivo quello che mia madre diceva nella lettera. Ma l’America era una realtà o era solo un sogno?

L'Emigrazione Italiana negli Stati Uniti d'America
--Fra il 1880 e il 1915 approdano negli Stati Uniti quattro milioni di italiani, su 9 milioni circa di emigranti che scelsero di attraversare l'Oceano verso le Americhe. Le cifre non tengono conto del gran numero di persone che rientrò in Italia: una quota considerevole ( 50/60%) nel periodo 1900-1914.
--Circa il settanta per cento proveniva dal Meridione, anche se fra il 1876 ed il 1900 la maggior parte degli emigrati era del Nord Italia con il quarantacinque per cento composto solo da Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia e Piemonte. --Le motivazioni che spinsero masse di milioni di Meridionali ad emigrare furono molteplici.
--Durante l'invasione Piemontese, operata senza dichiarazione di guerra, del Regno delle due Sicilie, i macchinari delle fabbriche, non dimentichiamo che Napoli era allora una città all'avanguardia in campo industriale, furono portati al Nord dove in seguito sorsero le industrie del Piemonte, della Lombardia e della Liguria.
--Le popolazioni del Meridione, devastato dalle guerra con circa un milione di morti, da cataclismi naturali (il terremoto del 1908 con l'onda di marea nello Stretto di Messina uccise più di 100,000 persone nella sola città di Messina) depredato dall'esercito, dissanguato dal potere ancora di stampo feudale, non ebbero altra alternativa che migrare in massa. Il sistema feudale, ancora perfettamente efficiente, permetteva che la proprietà terriera ereditaria determinasse il potere politico ed economico, lo status sociale, di ogni individuo. In questo modo, le classi povere non ebbero praticamente alcuna possibilità di migliorare la propria condizione.
--Da aggiungere ai motivi dell'esodo la crisi agraria dal 1880 in poi, successivamente l'aggravarsi delle imposte nelle campagne meridionali dopo l'unificazione del paese, il declino dei vecchi mestieri artigiani, delle industrie domestiche, la crisi della piccola proprietà e delle aziende montane, delle manifatture rurali.
--Gli Stati Uniti dal 1880 aprirono le porte all'immigrazione nel pieno dell'avvio del loro sviluppo capitalistico; le navi portavano merci in Europa e ritornavano cariche di emigranti. I costi delle navi per l'America erano inferiori a quelli dei treni per il Nord Europa, per questo milioni di persone scelsero di attraversare l'Oceano.
--L'arrivo in America era caratterizzato dal trauma dei controlli medici e amministrativi durissimi, specialmente ad Ellis Island, l'Isola delle Lacrime.
Remembering Ellis Island on Columbus Day - Article by Ro Pucci
--Nel Museo dell'Emigrazione a New York ci sono ancora le valigie piene di suppellettili e di povero abbigliamento delle persone che reimbarcate per l'Italia, nella disperazione si buttavano nelle acque gelide della baia andando quasi sempre incontro alla morte.

Last night I went to Italian chat it was the third or fourth time and I have to agree with Bruno that it is intolerable: there are few nice people Aemilius who writes on this blog too, Lupo, a nice Sicilian guy, ciripiripin who is a co-author on this blog is ok, but I didn't understand if she was m/f but then there were four or five idiots, no dignity : sarracin, Marutqui, Srizzo, Menz 90, Suprema Corte. These people cannot write Italian ( I guess cannot write English as well, usually if you do not know your native language you cannot learn a second language) and they are there only to insult others, a very sad use of this nice thing that chats are potentially speaking: I know other chats and they are better, at paltalk for instance you cannot say anything over the lines or you are thrown out.

From The Times
Thousands of bloggers who operate behind the cloak of anonymity have no right to keep their identities secret, the High Court ruled yesterday.
In a landmark decision, Mr Justice Eady refused to grant an order to protect the anonymity of a police officer who is the author of the NightJack blog. The officer, Richard Horton, 45, a detective constable with Lancashire Constabulary, had sought an injunction to stop The Times from revealing his name.
In April Mr Horton was awarded the Orwell Prize for political writing, but the judges were unaware that he was using information about cases, some involving sex offences against children, that could be traced back to genuine prosecutions.
His blog, which gave a behind-the-scenes insight into frontline policing, included strong views on social and political issues.

The officer also criticised and ridiculed “a number of senior politicians” and advised members of the public under police investigation to “complain about every officer . . . show no respect to the legal system or anybody working in it”.
Some of the blog’s best-read sections, which on occasion attracted half a million readers a week, were anecdotes about cases on which Mr Horton had worked. The people and places were made anonymous and details changed, but they could still be traced back to real prosecutions.
In the first case dealing with the privacy of internet bloggers, the judge ruled that Mr Horton had no “reasonable expectation” to anonymity because “blogging is essentially a public rather than a private activity”.
The judge also said that even if the blogger could have claimed he had a right to anonymity, the judge would have ruled against him on public interest grounds.
The police officer, the judge said, had argued that he should not be exposed because it could put him at risk of disciplinary action for breaching regulations. But Mr Justice Eady criticised that argument as “unattractive to say the least”.
He added: “I do not accept that it is part of the court’s function to protect police officers who are, or think they may be, acting in breach of police discipline regulations from coming to the attention of their superiors.”
He added: “It would seem to be quite legitimate for the public to be told who it was who was choosing to make, in some instances quite serious criticisms of police activities and, if it be the case, that frequent infringements of police discipline regulations were taking place.”
The action arose after Patrick Foster, a Times journalist, identified the NightJack blogger “by a process of deduction and detective work, mainly using information on the internet,” the judge said.
Hugh Tomlinson, QC, for Mr Horton, had argued that “thousands of regular bloggers . . . would be horrified to think that the law would do nothing to protect their anonymity if someone carried out the necessary detective work and sought to unmask them”. Mr Tomlinson said that Mr Horton wished to remain anonymous and had taken steps to preserve his anonymity.
But Mr Justice Eady said that the mere fact that the blogger wanted to remain anonymous did not mean that he had a “reasonable expectation” of doing so or that The Times was under an enforceable obligation to him to maintain that anonymity.
Antony White, QC, for The Times, argued that there was a public interest in non-compliance by a police officer with his obligations under the statutory code governing police behaviour and also with general public law duty on police officers not to reveal information obtained in the course of a police investigation other than for performing his public duties.
Lancashire Constabulary said: “He has been spoken to regarding his professional behaviour and, in line with disciplinary procedures, has been issued with a written warning.”
chissa' cosa ha in mente....
Palin resignation leaves questions on 2012 run
WASILLA, Alaska — Even for a nonconformist, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has defied political logic with her sudden, stunning announcement to leave office more than a year early.
Supporters and critics alike say the former GOP vice presidential candidate's resignation, announced Friday afternoon and effective July 26, is an inexplicable move for a high profile Republican widely seen as a contender for a White House run in 2012. A half-term governor campaigning for president?
"If she is thinking that leaving her term 16 months early is going to help her prepare to maybe go on to bigger and better things on the political stage, I think she's sadly mistaken. You just can't quit," said Andrew Halcro, a Palin critic who lost the 2006 gubernatorial race to her.
Palin's abrupt announcement Friday rattled the Republican Party but left open the possibility of a presidential run. She and her staff are keeping mum on her future plans.
Palin's spokesman, David Murrow, said the governor didn't say anything to him about this being her "political finale."
"She's looking forward to serving the public outside the governor's chair," he said.
And Pam Pryor, a spokeswoman for Palin's political action committee, said the group continues to accept donations on its Web site, which saw an uptick in contributions Friday afternoon.
The announcement caught even current and former Palin advisers by surprise. Former members of Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign team, now dispersed across the country, traded perplexed e-mails and phone calls about the vice presidential nominee's decision to step down.
In a hastily arranged news conference at her home in Wasilla, a suburb of Anchorage, Palin said she had decided against running for re-election as Alaska's governor, and believed it was best to leave office even though she had 1.5 years left to her term. Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell will take her place.
"Many just accept that lame duck status, and they hit that road," Palin said. "They draw a paycheck. They kind of milk it. And I'm not going to put Alaskans through that."
Palin has proven formidable among the party's base. But the last week brought a highly critical piece in Vanity Fair magazine, with unnamed campaign aides questioning if Palin was really prepared for the presidency.
The backbiting continued with follow-up articles elsewhere recounting the nasty infighting that plagued her failed bid. Her advisers sniped with other Republicans, underscoring the deeply divided GOP looking for its next standard bearer.
Meghan Stapleton, Palin's personal spokeswoman, shot down speculation that ranged wildly from Palin dropping out of politics altogether to eyeing runs against fellow Alaska Republicans Rep. Don Young and Sen. Lisa Murkowski. Palin's comment about serving outside government refers to the present, she said.
Stapleton, however, said it's too early to say whether Palin would seek the presidency. In the meantime, the governor will continue to work to bring "positive change as a citizen without a title right now," she said.
"Her vision is what's best for Alaska, which translates into what's best for America," Stapleton said.
Murkowski, whose father was the governor when he lost to Palin in the 2006 Republican primary, was dismissive of the announcement.
"I am deeply disappointed that the governor has decided to abandon the state and her constituents before her term has concluded," she said in a one-sentence statement.
At the news conference, Palin alluded to how she could help change the country and help military members — an indication that she didn't think her time on the national stage was over.
On her Twitter page Friday evening, Palin wrote that she was remembering America's service members on the eve of Fourth of July.
"Thinking of our vets who kept us free & our troops keeping us free today: THANK YOU!" she wrote on the social-networking Web site.
Palin's decision not to seek re-election is a familiar one for those considering a presidential campaign. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney chose not to seek another term as he geared up for an unsuccessful 2008 presidential bid. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has announced he won't seek another term, giving him plenty of free time ahead of a potential 2012 bid. But Romney completed his term and Pawlenty plans to finish his.
Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, said the announcement left many confused. "I think it eliminates her from serious consideration for the presidency in 2012," he said.
Palin, 45, also has the potential to make far more money in the private sector than the $125,000 or so she has been making as governor. She already had a deal with publisher HarperCollins to produce her memoirs, with publication planned for next spring. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed. Six-figure book deals are common for high-profile political figures.
Palin emerged from relative obscurity nearly a year ago when she was tapped as then Republican presidential candidate McCain's running mate.
She was a controversial figure from the start and soon became the butt of talk-show jokes. Comedian Tina Fey famously imitated her elaborate updo and folksy "You betcha!" on "Saturday Night Live."
In Alaska, she saw her popularity wane this year after returning from the presidential campaign. She's become a polarizing figure, and multiple ethics complaints have been filed against her with the state personnel board.
All but two of the 15 complaints have been dismissed with no findings of wrongdoing, although one complaint led to Palin's agreement to reimburse the state about $8,100 for costs associated with trips taken with her children. The state says it has spent nearly $300,000 to investigate the complaints, and Palin says she has racked up more than $500,000 in legal fees fighting them.

Ora Ecclestone elogia Hitler
"Lui sì cha sapeva fare le cose"
Intervista-shock al Times del patron della Formula 1: "Il Fuhrer era in grado di comandare molta gente. Saddam? Terribile eliminarlo, era l'unico a poter controllare l'Iraq". C'è anche spazio per un omaggio a Mosley: "Un ottimo leader, come la Thatcher"
Mail Stampa 2 commenti OkNotizie badzu Facebook Gazzatown 4 luglio 2009 - Adolf Hitler sapeva "fare" le cose. E’ l’ultima provocazione del patron della Formula 1, Bernie Ecclestone, secondo il quale i regimi totalitari spesso funzionano meglio delle democrazie. "In molti modi, suppongo sia terribile da dire, al di là di cio che ha fatto, Hitler era in grado di comandare molta gente e di fare le cose", ha spiegato in un’intervista al Times. Mentre la democrazia "non hanno fatto poi così bene a molti paesi, compresa la Gran Bretagna".
saddam — Ecclestone rincara la dose dalle pagine online del giornale inglese. "I politici si preoccupano troppo per le elezioni", ha spiegato, "Abbiamo fatto una cosa terribile nel sostenere l’idea di liberarsi di Saddam Hussein. Era l’unico che poteva controllare il paese. Siamo andati in quel paese senza avere idea della cultura. Gli americani probabilmente pensano che la Bosnia sia un quartiere di Miami. Ci sono persone che muoiono di fame in Africa e noi rimaniamo seduti senza fare nulla, ma siamo coinvolti in cose che dovremmo lasciar stare".
Ecclestone con Max Mosley e Luca di Montezemolo. Epa mosley — Nell’intervista al Times Ecclestone paragona il presidente della Fia, Max Mosley, all’ex premier britannico Margaret Thatcher. Il numero uno della federazione internazionale, nel braccio di ferro con i team di Formula 1, è stato accusato di essere un "dittatore". "Io preferisco i leader forti - ha affermato Ecclestone - Margaret Thatcher prendeva delle decisioni e le portava avanti. E’ stata l’unica a far progredire questo paese. Tutti questi ragazzi, Gordon (Brown) e Tony (Blair), cercano di accontentare tutti in ogni momento". Mosley invece "ha fatto un super lavoro. E’ un ottimo leader. Non credo che il suo passato sia un problema".

Mom in MySpace case says it was properly dismissed
LOS ANGELES — A Missouri mother said she never should have been prosecuted for her role in a MySpace hoax directed at a 13-year-old girl who ended up committing suicide.
A federal judge said Thursday that he has tentatively thrown out Lori Drew's convictions, acquitting her of misdemeanor counts of accessing computers without authorization. U.S. District Judge George Wu stressed the ruling was tentative until he issues it in writing.
Drew showed no reaction to the decision in the courtroom. In a statement read on NBC's "Today" show Friday, said she agreed with it and felt she never should have been prosecuted.
"In my view, it was proper that this case was dismissed, primarily because I simply did not do what the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles accused me of doing," Drew said.
Drew was convicted in November, but the judge said that if she is to be found guilty of illegally accessing computers, anyone who has ever violated the social networking site's terms of service would be guilty of a misdemeanor. That would be unconstitutional, he said.
"You could prosecute pretty much anyone who violated terms of service," he said.
Prosecutors had sought the maximum three-year prison sentence and a $300,000 fine, but it had been uncertain going into Thursday's hearing whether Drew would be sentenced.
Wu had given a lengthy review to a defense request for dismissal, delaying sentencing from May to go over testimony from two prosecution witnesses.
Wu said he allowed the case to proceed to trial when Drew was charged with a felony, but she was convicted only of the misdemeanor and that presented constitutional problems.
Defense attorney Dean Steward said outside court that Los Angeles federal prosecutors should not have brought the charges in a case that originated in Missouri and was rejected by prosecutors there.
"Shame on the U.S. attorney for bringing this case. The St. Louis prosecutors had it right," Steward said. "The cynic in me says that (U.S. Attorney) Tom O'Brien wanted to make a name for himself or to keep his job."
O'Brien told a press conference that after prosecutors see the written ruling they will consider options, including an appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
"I'm proud of this case," he said. "This is a case that called out for someone to do something. It was a risk. But this office will always take risks on behalf of children."
Steward said the ruling should mark the end of Drew's criminal case.
"It's not the end of the road, it's the end of the chapter on the criminal side, which is pretty clearly the end," he said.
The parents of Megan Meier, the teenager who killed herself, were in court for the ruling. Later, her mother, Tina Meier, said that in spite of the disappointment, she felt that justice was done because "we got the word out."
Tina Meier said she is devoting her life to educating parents and teachers about potential threats to their children lurking in the Internet.
Much attention has been paid to Drew's case, primarily because it was the nation's first cyberbullying trial. The trial was held in Los Angeles because the servers of the social networking site are in the area.
Prosecutors say Drew sought to humiliate Megan by helping create a fictitious teen boy on the social networking site and sending flirtatious messages to the girl in his name. The fake boy then dumped Megan in a message saying the world would be better without her.
She hanged herself a short time later in October 2006 in the St. Louis suburb of Dardenne Prairie, Mo.
Drew was not directly charged with causing Megan's death. Instead, prosecutors indicted her under the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which in the past has been used in hacking and trademark theft cases.
Wu acknowledged in May he was concerned that sending Drew to prison for violating a Web site's service terms might set a dangerous precedent. Wu at the time noted that millions of people either don't read service terms, as happened in Drew's case.
During the trial, prosecutors argued that Drew violated MySpace service rules by setting up the phony profile for a boy named "Josh Evans" with the help of her then-13-year-old daughter Sarah and business assistant Ashley Grills. They posted a photo of a bare-chested boy with tousled brown hair.
"Josh" then told Megan she was "sexi" and assured her, "i love you so much."
Prosecutors believe Drew and her daughter, who was friends with Megan, created the profile to find out if Megan was spreading rumors about Sarah. Grills testified she received a message from Megan in mid-2006, calling Drew's daughter a lesbian.
Grills, who testified under a promise of immunity, allegedly sent the final, insulting message to Megan before she killed herself. Prosecutors said Megan sent a response saying, "'You are the kind of boy a girl would kill herself over.'"
Jurors decided Drew was not guilty of the more serious felonies of intentionally causing emotional harm while accessing computers without authorization. The jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on a felony conspiracy charge. The judge dismissed it Thursday at the request of prosecutors.
A NUDE GODDESS SOON TO APPEAR IN NORTHUMBERLAND!

So I as a dutiful and loving & MOST loyal citizen offered to buy a couple of her hats.....TO help out a wee bit ....as you can see it is very handy to use as a birds nest and is good for doubling up as an umbrella.!..and I can use the feathers as writing quills.....one hat and all those uses !
