Fifth Undersea Cable Cut

[TheBluePill]

because it is TOTALLY impossible that many of these muslim countries known for censorship (and knowing how censorship has been failing) would do this themselves. Or perhaps a small extremist group of muslims might. I mean they use retards to strap bombs on, and blow up schools and civilians, but they would never dare to hurt the intarwebs!!!! So Blame the evil Americans!!!

Trust me, if the US gubmint wanted to cut them off the internet, they would do so without hurting the infrastructure. And if they wanted to attack, they would do so, not dick around with cables.

+1, All of this anti-US bias is just plain stupid.

Alot of you guys don't know that the T-800 Model 101s still can operate while deep underwater. They are self-learning too. I believe they must be doing it.

I think the term "cut" is a pretty definitive and intentional word. It was reported in several articles that some cables were switched off transmission wise, another was snapped, and another was crushed.

The way I see the word "cut' is like someone going with a plasma cutter or a high speed hack saw and physically cutting the medium.


I just love how 911, Iraq War, Bush, and America becomes part of this discussion. Hell, I'm surprised HD-DVD and BluRay wasn't part of this discussion yet.

Why not? Could the HD DVD group be doing this to help boost sales? Or maybe BluRay is doing this so that people don't find out that the features that will be in BluRay 2.0 have always been in HD DVD. The format war has gone to new levels.

This thread is still about the world's perception of America as a county right? Or am I confused...

Yeah I guess I kinda went off topic there.. lol, but now let me talk about reality tv If the many people involved with the development of the device we today know as the television knew their invention would one day be used to project fat people into everyones loungeroom on a daily basis (biggest loser) or other reality tv im sure those people would destroy their invention, burn their notes and kill anyone they spoke to about their work.

I have some facts too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia

you speak about these people like the conclusion they have arrived at is some bizzare isolated incident. yes, definately some people talk about cia trained esp ninja chimps stealing ideas from the minds of the homeless. but, all this blood for oil speak true or not is in my opinion a conclusion one could quite easily come to and certaintly not in the realm of schizophrenia.

I personally don't think we should have went into Iraq when we did and spent more time in Afghanistan and got it cleaned out completely before working on Saddam but, we are t here now and I support our men and women. They are dying to give these people freedoms that we take for granted. Women actually able to have a place in government and young girls being able to go to school and have the schools teach these people real world skills and knowledge. The ability to go to college one day and make something of themselves. To be able to walk down the streets without fear of being arrested for now reason and taken off to rape and torture rooms or having helicopters dumping gas on you and killing your entire village and on and on and on.

To be honest I like I guess most people have so little of a clue to what is actually going on, we live in the information age but we've yet to develop a 'truth' filter yet. I definately have to give a lot of respect to those people who probably know little more than me about this situation yet turn up in heavy gear in the middle of a stinking hot desert and become part of a tourment that is incomparable to the mere whims of our lives. I glad to these people hardly ever seem to be viewed as the bad guys, whatever the 'moral truth' or to this war may be.

wait oh yeah something about cables? i think i was going to get cable tv or something i cant remember...

Everyone speculating is doing an even worse job than the media could ever do. LOL. That right there is what's pathetic. Be the first to blame the major news outlets for misinterpreting stories or stretching the truth, then turn around and make up conspiracy theories. hah.
