Minerva would do nicely, however unlikely it is... :(

I think BS would appreciate having Minerva kick his arse more than I would...He seems to be a sucker for the old S&M :D :eek: ;)

*Minerva walked in, and saw what's going on. She kicked Ode's @rse twice, then left the place quietly.*

Well, I attempted to write an apology letter using the Apology Note Generator (not really, but it's a funny link to share ;) ), but to no avail, seeing as how Minerva and I aren't in any sort of romantic entanglement. :(

LMAO, you got TOLD! :D ;)

Although you enjoyed, therefore a lack of pleasure for me. I suppose I am the resident physchic now... :D (Or Physcho, depending on your view. :D )

Europe and the USA differ significantly on their moral and political standpoints so it is normal that this leads to heated arguments. I don't know enough about the subject matter in the article but I think that appealing to stereotypes and using inflammatory language is counter productive.

As I said I don't know enough about the problem of Internet crime etc. but I can see that there is a lot of room for improving his arguments. If he used more tempered language and was more careful when presenting his arguments I would be a lot more inclined to take him seriously.
To be sure a crime in cyberspace is still a crime and needs to be stopped, whether his solution is the right one I doubt - I think we need a more global approach than just a European network.
