Civil unrest is caused by a tiny minority. Ther majority of the population do not support it. Within a democracy you have the right to peaceful protest, you do not have the right to riot. If you don't like the government then you must accept that the democratic route has to be followed to replace them.

We're not on the 'brink of a revolution'. These groups are in the minority. The majority of people are more or less happy with the status quo. The silent majority is always ignored by the militant minority who assume that everyone else is also a communist. Many people have proper jobs built around the system that we are in. I'm sure you would dismiss them (and I included) as 'decadent capatalists'?

Iceland was a democratic election. Not a revolution. The fact that they are choosing such an isolationalist financial policy is shortsighted and they simply won't attract external business. Worse still is the situation in France where a socialist government has been elected on an anti-austerity manifesto of reversing policies of the previous government. Lowering retirement age is no way to save money, especially when people are living longer and longer. It might be popular in the short-term but it shows how too many people on the political left live for the moment rather than the long term.

Yes, which makes it self-regulating. The ramifications of making a false accusation are very serious. There are many regulations on what you can and can't print but you don't find publishers holding back printruns that they don't agree with as the commercial ramifications are very great.

So it's not any comfort that you can take somebody to court, cause you probably will end up homeless in the process (the case is going to take years and it constantly costs loads of cash).
Your understanding here of legal action is not so accurate. If you are a private individual then it is much cheaper for you to go to court than for a company. If you lose the bad press for you is nothing, if you win the bad press could put the other party out of business and they are accutely aware of this risk. That is why most give in at the slightest sign of trouble. First write a letter yourself (and leave out the 'oppressive capatalist pigdog' views, they are not constructive), then if they do not do anything, get a solicitor to write a cease and desist letter. This is small money to do. They will probably settle. If not, go to court and they will still probably chose to settle out of court and you will have your site back on line and be financially better off just through a bit of work.
I'm from the UK and I have gone through this sort of thing before. I have a compromise agreement signed earlier this year with a large company that basically means I get over £10k for not taking them to court. This only took a few days to arrange and they even paid for my solicitors fees (only about £500, that's nothing if a matter is important to you). This is much cheaper for them than going to court.

Are there not still children being sold into slavery as part of international child porn rings?!? Unless you are happy with this situation then something more has to be done. Nobody publishes child porn on paper because it would be too easy to get caught and similarly those publishing Jihadist manuals and preaching hate are easy to catch yet on the Internet it is still easy to remain elusive. You would also expect anyone printing such material to be closed down and imprisoned, why do you think that the Internet must remain a special case? If you're happy with child porn rings remaining intact then by all means continue to oppose this 'tool of tsarist oppression'. It is good that this is being done on a supranational basis to break up international groups.

This is your opinion. There is plenty of work for politicians to do, otherwise we wouldn't be voting for them would we? You don't like them then vote for someone else.

I would never have guessed. You must however understand that you are in a minority. For reference I might be considered a liberal conservative but one that believes in internationalism and secularism (the US version of conservatism is wierd in this respect). Working in the corporate world teaches you a lot about working with other peoples views and what really is the common good. Individualist anarchism is a view point that I respectfully disagree with and I would hope that you would do the same with mine. By all means call me a decadent capatalist if you wish though, I'll wear it as a badge of honour.

This is verging on conspiracy theorism. I don't see the government as my enemy as they are democratically elected. I might not always agree with them and I certainly hated our last government led by that one eyed Scottish idiot but that doesn't mean they are my enemy. The terrorists are my enemy, as are any other criminals including the looters, anarchists, students studying course that clearly are too easy as otherwise they wouldn't have the time to riot, militant tradeunionists and anyone else who wants to start a riot. We had riots last summer ostensibly about 'police oppression' when they shot someone who was armed and dangerous. Really it was just an excuse for scumbags to break into shops and steal some new trainers that they wanted. Certain press outlets blamed it on the typical 'lack of opportunity' reasons somehow trying to turn it back on the government but this is just ridiculous, they were common criminals.

This is getting a little close to Godwin's Law here. I have no fear of being made a 'keyword' as that is simply not realistic. I'm totally happy for anything illegal or anyone doing anything illegal or inciting anything illegal to be made a keyword.
Now, considering your views on anarchy: have you ever driven in the Middle East? For that matter consider somewhere closer to home, Sicily is an example. It's total anarchy. Traffic lights seem to be advisory only, everyone is on the phone, everyone is constantly cutting each other up, there are no obvious rules as everyone is breaking all of them. The only working rule seems to be that the person who hoots the horn first has right of way. This is no way to drive as a northern European. It is stressful, slow, inefficient and dangerous. In the UK things are generaly better but there are still people who push the rules. Doing so can make other people's journeys worse so is selfish. The best roads are managed motorways whereby overhead gantry's and speed cameras are used to manage traffic speed under heavy load. This actually helps speed traffic up by keeping flow constant, making journey times shorter and improving fuel efficiency and safety. This is a fantastic analogy: chaos does not work. Rules are needed for the greater good.
If you disagree with me then go and drive in Lebanon for a day...
