Police have closed down The Pirate Bay, a Sweden-based file sharing site and one of the most popular websites of its kind in the world.

Three people were taken in for questioning after police raids in Sweden on Wednesday. The trio, ages 22, 24 and 28, are suspected of violating property rights legislation, police spokesman Ulf Göranzon said.

Servers connected to the site have been impounded and the site was down on Wednesday afternoon, although the operators of The Pirate Bay have set up a temporary website to provide updates on the situation.

NOOOOOooooooooo

That's nothing...check this out:

My conspiracy torrent site is being investigated...by the RCMP - The Royal Canadian Mounty Police! It's due to possible hate speech and Canada, as we know, has the strictest hate laws (ie The Bible is hate speech), and this site sometimes posts things by people who blame everything on those "evil Zionists". I thought it was hilarious that the RCMP do more than just chase moose!

Hamster survives industrial shredder
10:19am 2nd June 2006

A hamster escaped virtually unscathed after passing through an industrial shredder.

The creature is thought to have found its way into a skip of rubbish that arrived at a recycling plant in Flintshire, north Wales.

He passed along a conveyor belt and then through a giant shredder, which can tear a cooker or washing machine to pieces in seconds.

He then survived a rotating drum and vibrating grids before he was discovered in a sorting area by astonished staff, who named him Mike.

The ordeal, which probably lasted around four minutes, left the rodent with nothing more than a sore foot.

He was enjoying a new life today with 10-year-old Liam Bull, whose father Craig works in the Recyclo plant in Sandycroft.

Liam said: "I can't believe he's still alive after what happened, but he's doing fine now."

The plant's general manager, Tony Williams, said: "We deal with 300 to 400 tons of dry waste a day from all over Cheshire, Flintshire and Wrexham.

"Some of the material is shredded and then goes through a series of conveyor belts and grids that enable smaller pieces of waste to fall through.

"It seems that the hamster was small enough to pass through the blades of the shredder, but big enough to pass along the trammel without falling through an aperture.

"We don't get very much animal activity here, but we're delighted Mike survived and is now being cared for."

"US government behind Pirate Bay raid"

The American film and music industry rejoiced over the raid by the Swedish police on The Pirate Bay. But reports that the US government was behind the action against the Sweden-based file sharing site have now resulted in the Swedish government being reported to the country's Constitutional Committee.

The widescale raid carried out at hosting companies in Stockholm, Västmanland and Västra Götaland targeted one of the world's largest sites for sharing music, games and computer programmes.

I'm posting in this thread because I consider myself a fairly random person and because I feel pretty stupid right now.

My last civics class was over 12 years ago. Poke all of the age jokes you want, but please consider humoring me when I ask:

How does a bill become a law?

There are a few bills I have recently become interested in, and I have no idea about their current status in the process.

Thanks!

Perverting the Word of God, one sin at a time.

Quote:

nterviewed on CNN, Jefferts Schori was asked if it was a sin to be homosexual.

"I don't believe so. I believe that God creates us with different gifts. Each one of us comes into this world with a different collection of things that challenge us and things that give us joy and allow us to bless the world around us," she said.

"Some people come into this world with affections ordered toward other people of the same gender and some people come into this world with affections directed at people of the other gender."

So I guess if I come into this world as a rapist that just means I love women a whole lot. If I have the sin of the child molester that means I'm just "doin it" for the kids! We all come into this world as sinners, we need to tell people the truth. The sin of lying, stealing, murder, and homosexuality are all the same amount in siness. These are things to strive to beat not give in to. Because if we give in, we have lost the fight to better ourself. "Be perfect, even as you Father in Heaven is perfect."

I know you bible thumping bastards will say a "sin is a sin". But I hardly think comparing a homosexual (A person who, even by bible standards, is only harming themselves) to a child molester (Someone who is harming innocent children) is hardly a fair sentiment Patrick.

While I'm no ardent supporter of homosexuality. I wouldn't even go so far as to group them along with Murderers, Rapists and Child Molesters.

But that is exactly my problem with this article, Fatman. I don't care what you think is worse, no offense, it only matters what God says. The Bible clearly says that "sin is sin". I asked my brother the other day, "What's better? Premarital sex or gay sex?" The answer? Well let's see what God say:

1Co 6:9 "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,"

This passage of Scripture proclaims that neither is "better than the other". It's like saying how would you rather die right now? Being shot in the head or stabbed?" The answer...I DON'T WANT TO DIE. It's called a false dilemma (Did you stop beating your wife yet? OR Do your parents no that you're gay?)

Let's look at the definition of sin.

Easton's Bible Dictonary says " Is “any want of conformity unto or transgression of the law of God” (1Jo_3:4; Rom_4:15), in the inward state and habit of the soul, as well as in the outward conduct of the life, whether by omission or commission (Rom_6:12-17; 7:5-24). It is “not a mere violation of the law of our constitution, nor of the system of things, but an offense against a personal lawgiver and moral governor who vindicates his law with penalties."

So it is an action, thought, or omission of doing, thinking, or saying which goes against God and His Law. Therefore under the Law, and under God, homosexuality IS the same as child molesting. Now in our courts, in our beliefs as a society, and in this life I have no doubt we should punish/help child molesters more than anyone. However the day will come when we all die, 10 out of 10 people do, and:

Rom 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at naught thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Rom 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Rom 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Rom 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

So those of us who have stolen, murdered, killed, engaged in fornication, blasphamey, etc. have gone against God and His perfect Law. Under that Law we all deserve to be punished. However that's not the end of the story.

That's why God sent Jesus down from Heaven to live the perfect life and take away our sins. He rose from the grave and conquered death. All that is need to live in orcordance with God and His Law is to believe in Jesus Christ.

And I am thankful that my loving God is also a just God. I am also thankful that my just God is also a graceful God.

(Amen)
