People are so willing to hate for the ‘right’ reasons.. to use that as motive to prosecute anyone and everyone, just to keep their ‘just hate’ alive. Sounds like Nazis to me — stared too long into the abyss, methinks.

John Demjanjuk, convicted death camp guard, dies
BERLIN (AP) - John Demjanjuk was convicted of being a low-ranking guard at the Sobibor death camp, but his 35-year fight on three continents to clear his name - a legal battle that had not yet ended when he died Saturday at age 91 - made him one of the best-known faces of Nazi prosecutions.

Holy CRAP! UPS has a paid service where I can pay to use features that I’m already paying for, as part of the shipping price?! AWESOME (actually, really fucking lame). The part where it’s $5 to have a shipment held at the UPS Store is really pathetic, and since FedEx does it for free I’ve switched to FedEx for all business shipping.

I’m boycotting Skype from now on — like AT&T, their “unlimited” plan ISN’T unlimited, but they don’t mention that fact until you’ve gone over the limit and run up charges. It’s in the fine print, but putting “not really unlimited” in the fine print of something you’re advertising as “unlimited” is about as honest as selling someone a car, then charging them twice because “it was in the fine print”.
This isn’t like “freight included”, because they’ll pass the cost to consumers who already pay for unlimited data plans. No, AT&T, this is wrong — you’re charging people twice for the same thing. Frack off.

CLP’s Ken Wooden explains that telling children they are participating in a game “is one of the most common ways” for sexual predators to engage them in inappropriate contact. Likewise, because children “don’t have the sophistication” to differentiate between the pat-down at the airports and sexual assault, the TSA procedures are setting a dangerous precedent for those who experience the procedures.
