Iran: Bloggers can be put to death

Slashdot.org reports disturbing stories regarding the lack of privacy appreciation. On one hand Iran added "establishing weblogs and sites promoting corruption, prostitution and apostasy" to the list of crimes punishable by death. Apostasy is switching religion btw.

On the other hand Viacom has recently obtained a court order that requires Google to hand over a complete list of every video watched by YouTube users. These logs will include the login names and IP addresses of the users.

I am in a pissy mood now, I apologize for not commenting on your blogs friends. But things are about to change in a major way so. Ya, screw privacy and all human rights, lets go back to the middle ages when things were simpler and u could just use your swords to resolve any kind of conflict.

EDIT: to lighten the mood a bit, here's my personality test result as inspired by feminist's blog

Your Personality is Very Rare (INTP)

Your personality type is goofy, imaginative, relaxed, and brilliant. Only about 4% of all people have your personality, including 2% of all women and 6% of all men You are Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Perceiving.

How Rare Is Your Personality?

Zembabwe, Mugabe the next Saddam?

I would like to commend the bbc on their continuing coverage of the zembabweian elections. reporting in areas that were more or less forgotten. Forgotten by us as humans as the mellinium generation/civilization.
Leading up to the elections the bbc reported how the voters were hassled, intimidated, harmed, and even raped if they didn't vote for the current ruling regeime. The bbc interviewed the locals who have voiced their fear and hopelessness resulting from the state-sponsored violence and oppression.
It is sad that in this day and age, rulers can still do these things and get away with them.
My prayers go to the oppressed people in Zembabwe and all over the world, the international community is very limited since there are agreements limiting the external interference in internal state matters. I wish to c a success rebelion story that will set the tone in this increasingly oppressive world that we're currently living in.
As Bob Marley would say: Stand up for your rights

I am pisT. You know when you can recognize bs paper work? And it can tell you that there r some people trying to harm you.
Well, GOD is the judge at the end, and all we have to do is believe and no matter what ALL the people try to do. At the end only god has absolute control. (Al-Arzaq beyad Allah) and those pethetic beings might feel grandiose that they have some control.
Would it be a coincidence if things go to shit in their personal lives after that?
Heh, they say Allah may6ig b3a9a.
And some people might start suffering from their own actions that they may feel good about for now. Not because I would do something about it, God's justice is far more powerfull than anything
You better say your prayers and count your blessings.
Peace
