I can see the site...

it's only blocked OUTSIDE the United States + its quasi-states.

 

[mindspell]

The article said "some" Canadians were able to see the site. I just mentionned that I was part of that. Fuck you with your quasi-state.

we used to use Akamai here for mirroring, but they suck. So yeah, draw conclusions.

The people of Canada are Americans.

 

[mindspell]

Yes we are because we are part of North America, also because to call citizens of the United States of America is very inacurate

 

[xfer]

I'm guessing you meant to say "to call citizens of the US 'Americans'..."

and that's completely wrong.

Blacks are not usually black
African-Americans are not necessarily African or (according to some people) American
anti-Semitism does not refer to bias against all Semitic races

etc.

those terms, like American, are cultural constructs which have a real meaning that is more important than their literal meaning.

 

[mindspell]

That's what I meant.

I was also trying to get you to say that because we've had this conversation before...

I succeeded. And you got hooked
