You know what? If it weren't for the UNITED STATES, none of you fuckers would be chatting online right now. Furthermore, I don't care how badly you hate us. All of you need us. If we weren't around, the rest of the world would be (and I sometimes think, IS) a festering cesspool of stupidity. This country has earned the right to be the best country on earth, because it IS the best country on earth. We are the reason there's progress in almost every advance in the Universe. Anyway, this political bullshit that's been going on on this list (for whatever fucking reason you guys care to muster) is meant for somewhere else. I'm here to talk about the Orb, not to read all the mindless drivel you people fucking spew to piss people like me off. I'm a fuckin' American, and I'm fuckin' proud of it. At least I can get a fuckin' heart transplant if I need one - you all in Europe have to take a number and wait in line. You tell me that's progress? Bullshit. Now let's PLEASE get back to the fuckin' music... Thanks.

haha the universe? you dimwit.

see? you people have no idea what you are talking about. you know NOTHING about how europe works, how our frame of mind is. unlike you lot we have a few thousand years of culture behind us; since you don't you make up your own culture (if you can call mcdonalds' burger-guzzling legacy culture). admittedly the NHS in the UK is in a shambles, but if you were to read up before you splurt out mindless nationalistic drivel like you just did, you might discover that the rest of europe is in a fine state. also if you don't want to discuss politics here, why did you reply to this?

Interesting, very interesting. I go off line for a week, and I get a message like this in my box. I have to believe it's a piss take, for I can't imagine any Orb fan actually thinking like this. (caution, my opinion ahead) I do like my country, and the principles on which it was founded. I am proud to say I live in America. BUT I am disgusted that (more or less) we have become a society driven for the persuit of posession and greed, losing the ability to know the difference between a privelage and a right, that convienience has beome a standard, and that what happens on American Idol is more newsworthy that what happened in the American Congress. I hate that television has more freedom to show acts of violence than acts of love, and that we should be ashamed of our bodies. I dislike that Our country has separation of Church and State, yet our currency and pledge of alegiance has God in it, and our president is taking steps backward on this issue... I hate that our outlets for the arts are merging with corporate entities and using it more for an outlet to advertise to a target demographic than express emotion. I can go on and on...

Heheh chatting online Wait a minute lets go further into this statement The internet was created by DARPA for military purposes (imperialist pigs) but we took it over And now its not yours anymore fat face.. But I think a more accurate statement about chatting online And the technology that has evolved to enable this (including streaming/dsl) Would be :

Not to re-stir this pot, but it's too good to not quote: Arundhati Roy, from The Guardian, September 29, 2001 - http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4266289,00.html In his September 20 address to the US Congress, President Bush called the enemies of America "enemies of freedom". "Americans are asking, 'Why do they hate us?' " he said. "They hate our freedoms - our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other." <snip> For strategic, military and economic reasons, it is vital for the US government to persuade its public that their commitment to freedom and democracy and the American Way of Life is under attack. In the current atmosphere of grief, outrage and anger, it's an easy notion to peddle. However, if that were true, it's reasonable to wonder why the symbols of America's economic and military dominance - the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon - were chosen as the targets of the attacks. Why not the Statue of Liberty? Could it be that the stygian anger that led to the attacks has its taproot not in American freedom and democracy, but in the US government's record of commitment and support to exactly the opposite things - to military and economic terrorism, insurgency, military dictatorship, religious bigotry and unimaginable genocide (outside America)? It must be hard for ordinary Americans, so recently bereaved, to look up at the world with their eyes full of tears and encounter what might appear to them to be indifference. It isn't indifference. It's just augury. An absence of surprise. The tired wisdom of knowing that what goes around eventually comes around. American people ought to know that it is not them but their government's policies that are so hated. They can't possibly doubt that they themselves, their extraordinary musicians, their writers, their actors, their spectacular sportsmen and their cinema, are universally welcomed. All of us have been moved by the courage and grace shown by firefighters, rescue workers and ordinary office staff in the days since the attacks. ... it goes on .. good article for those interested, somewhat dated.
-anyone that works hard enough in America can make it (if that's what they want)
And if you're wealthy and well-connected, you can even run the place! It doesn't even matter if you're not very bright, questionably literate, have a criminal record and more people voted for your opponent! :) Mick
