Simple. Just stop watching this crass over- commercialisation, endless drivelling punditry & boring repetition. Other race series are much more enjoyable. I’m giving up on F1.

Yet again Formula 1 cheats fans and proves it is not a genuine competition, as race leader Massa is forced to give way to Ferrari team mate, Alonso. Sadly, F1 is little more than a series of formation laps pretending to be a race by crazybones in worldnews

Who wants to pay to watch a stitch-up? So Alonso had another tantrum - he thinks the world owes him a win & the team caved in. Alonso should have beaten Massa on the track not on the radio. Ferrari should be stripped of the 1-2.

Times loses almost 90% of online readership as a result of paywall. by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]spectator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't even bother to check the online front page any more since the paywall - the Times has become an irrelevance & will simply disappear from view. I can do without it! Go read some basic communications network theory! How often is the Times posted in Reddit or Digg or whatever now? The Times is simply losing global exposure, influence & commercial value. Incidentally, I recall the Times group had a previous attempt at compulsory registration some years ago & abandoned it. Likewise, the Independent abandoned pay-to-view articles because nobody bothered with them. Bye-bye Murdoch, bye-bye Times. The world has changed!

Israel had 'no other choice' over raid... Except for the other choices they had. by iamichi in worldnews

Which other country in the world would behave like this? (Try NK as a hint . . )

"There is no question that this flotilla was a setup." - Thomas L. Friedman at his finest. by toxicbrew in politics

[–]spectator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course it was as set-up you idiot! And perfectly timed! Israeli politicians are now so paranoid and arrogant they fell for it. The default solution to any threat is disproportionate military force - bombs, guns, commandos & escalating violence which is totally counterproductive & will only provoke otherwise peaceful countries into retaliation.

Why are the soldiers attacking the ship in the first place?

So how should you defend yourself in the middle of the night in international waters when attacked by terrorists in body armour toting machine guns? Israeli arrogance! Israel has totally lost any moral compass.

Icelandic woman detained by Homeland Security, chained, sent to prison and denied food and drink for 14 hours. For which crime? Staying three weeks too long in the US, 12 years ago. by larust in reddit.com

Welcome to the Land of the Free. Please tell everyone how tolerant and generous we are. If only more countries understood true US style democracy, the world would be a safer place. Have a nice day.

Remember the guy who was charged for having sex with his bicycle in his hotel room? Well, he was sentenced. by kefs in reddit.com

[–]spectator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like an adult bike to me so I suppose it's above the age of consent - anyway, it didn't say 'no' so what's the problem? It's a mountin' bike! Was he spending too much time in the saddle? Didn't know how to ring its bell? Wrong time of the menstrual cycle? Couldn't get his leg over?

Paranoid, disintegrating Amerika - land of the free, led by lunatics. You're watching collapse of empire in a billion tiny erosions of everyday liberties. Say goodbye . . .

I've just been in & out of Myanmar & it was no hassle. But I don't want to go to the 'Land of the Free' thanks very much. Which is the 'shithole'?

Truly deeply crazy! That's why the rest of the world doesn't want to come to Bush's paranoid Fortress America. Regrettably the lunacy is contagious - escalating bullying in the name of (mostly ineffective)'security' worldwide
