The people living in the EU should be called “subjects”

Nearly ten years ago, one of my [then] clients was approached to manage the investment fund of a US Christian group. They wanted 'ethical' investments and they specifically said no to the likes of Cisco, Sun, etc because they said that they make equipment that was used to distribute <ahem> material.

They never did take on the fund.

Subjects > serfs > slaves

'Slaves' implies some sort of work going on.

I was thinking more along the lines of 'non-people'.

The Pron Industry: always up front with technology.

Absolutely.

DARPA may have had the idea, and CERN made it accessible, but it is the Pron Industry that made the Internet and the Web financially viable by providing the lure, the content, the on-line purchasing systems, the need for search tools, email mass-marketing, pop-ups, the need for anonymous email accounts, live streaming, nanny-filters, huge image storage and, and, and...

Why am I not surprised?



The Pron Industry: always up front with technology.

Shouldn't that be, always up in front.

Oh, never mind!

Do you know what "Pravda" in Russian stands for?

Yes.

I think that's "Da".

[AtW]

Yes, Pravda spouts load of bolox, much like yourself, but I thought it was sort of fun to have the former iconic mouthpiece of a totalitarian condemning the treaty as being undemocratic.

Pravda.ru - the website - has nothing to do with notorious soviet newspaper called Pravda (Truth in Russian) that was known to have published most outrageous lies.

How much p0rn you think you'll get on those lord-knows how may Terra byte HDD?

We don't keep images or any binary data.

HTH

[HairyArsedBloke]

Well, you've rather spoilt the gag now.

[AtW]

Yes.

Why are you quoting it then?

[HairyArsedBloke]

Do you know what "Pravda" in Russian stands for and what's the history of this newspaper?

Yes.

Now that the Czech Republic has announced it will ratify the Lisbon Treaty, the EU will be even closer yet to becoming a unified monster state, with more than half a billion inhabitants. Inhabitants is the correct term, since “citizens” would indicate a set of political rights. The people living in the EU should rather be called “subjects,” since they have no influence whatsoever on the constitution of the centralized European government, the “European Commission.” The Europeans are allowed to vote for members of the European Parliament, but this body has about as much political power as the ineffectual German parliament meeting at Frankfurt in 1848. Political power in the EU is firmly in the hands of the European Commission, which is set to obtain even more power under the Lisbon Treaty. This infamous treaty does not hold the peoples of Europe in high regard. As a matter of fact, it is only halfway through the treaty (originally presented as a “Constitution”) that one finds the first references to the people.
