TorrentSpy shuts doors to America

William Dean Luke

Damn sure isn't my Fault.

No, no it's not MY fault, it's not the citizens fault. Are you even aware that most of the US want our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, but our government doesn't seem to give a damn?

HOw about the fact that bush BOUGHT the election in Florida, and despite NUMEROUS protests, there was nothing the US Citizens could do about it. I, for one, didn't vote for Bush. According to the polls, he lost the election by a landslide, but then a recount was ordered and he won by ONE vote!

Then the World Trade Center bombing occured. Bush Paraded himself as a hero and used the anger of Most American's to gain support in his "War on Terror".

Most of us care about other people. I, for one, am sickened by the events in Darfur and wish our troops would get involved in helping them rather than trying to gain control over the MIddle East's Oil.

I am an American. But I'm not proud of it. I wish the Government here wasn't as corrupt as it is, but if we stand up for ourselves and our rights, we're arrested for one reason or another. I'm aware that if my fellow Americans had the balls, we could all bum-rush our capitol and pretty much declare war on a corrupt government. I, for one, don't LIEK paying taxes because the money I pay every year to the fine folks that run our country is used to build weapons. Weapons that kill people. BUllets...guns, rockets, missiles. Whether we liek it or not, our hands are covered in blood. But if we don't pay taxes, we're fined, even IMPRISONED. Native Americans here get the worst of it, they really do.

A family of Hemp farmers, who grow hemp to make a living, are raided over and over again. THe government here jsut goes into a SOVEREIGN Native American nation and does whatever the hell they want, despite the fact that treaties say they aren't allowed to.

If I had my way about it, We'd all be back to the bartering system, because EVERYONE has something they can contribute, even if it's jsut manual labor.

The US woudl only get involved with helping people, not dropping Atomic bomb's on two different cities over a BEE STING. (Pearl Harbor, anyone?)

I hate this country. I love what it once stood for. Freedom...Freedom to be whoever you are, and do whatever you want to do, so long as you don't hurt anybody.

But this nation has long since decided that money is more important than the value of life, and that's sad.

Now what I'm saying is that I am tired of everyone else int he world thinking we're all a bunch of ignorant jackasses who sit around with our thumbs up our asses. Well, we're not, I for one, voted to Impeach Bush. We want to be the best we can be, but not at the expense of others.

Sad truth is, too many of us are scared and paranoid. We want to do something about it, but our government has too much power.

If only more people realized that a Government is only as powerful as the people allow it to be, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in.

I really don't like seeing prejudice in a commenting section.

Ya know what I think sucks? I think that some of the people posting in here are prejudiced in whole or in part against America and Americans in general. I, myself, am an American. And Greg's little "Sod off then" comment irked me. Like it's OUR fault the government here sticks it's nose into other people's business?

I don't know about you, but I mind my own business. ALWAYS. I don't stick my nose into other people's business and I don't believe it's right that our government thinks it can do this.

And what about all of the AMERICAN contributors to torrentspy's vast array of files? YOu mean to tell me that the American's who uploaded their stuff for the world to share are now suddenly cut out of the loop and other countries are benefitting from the files that US citizens helped upload?

YEah, that sounds really frickin' fair to me. (INsert Sarcasm here)

I believe, personally, that TOrrentspy either doesn't give a damn that America put it's fair share of files in Torrentspy's engines and have now blocked us from downloading from them, or they just haven't realized, quite yet, the scope of this problem.

I, for one, am QUITE saddened by this decision.

It's not enough that we're locked out, but now the people who are still able to use it are outright dissing American's and saying "Ho-ho! We're better than you!"

I understand that the folks at Torrentspy had no choice in the matter. I commend their ability to honor their privacy statement. but think of the millions of US citizens that share their files with other countries through torrentspy. Now they have nothing to show for their efforts.

YOu can all think America sucks and that it's just a cesspool of evil and dark-minded people all ya want.

Fact is, you aren't the only ones who contributed to Torrentspy's vast popularity.

I only wish that More Americans woudl stand up to the judicial system here and demand reform. Cause this country is goign to Hell in a Handbasket. I can say this cause I was born here and I live here and see it for myself every single day. What's YOUR excuse?
