I'm not sure I want God going down on me...

Can't you find a nice Goddess instead?

*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!
Although you enjoyed, therefore a lack of pleasure for me. I suppose I am the resident physchic now...

(Or Physcho, depending on your view.

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.
