It's just a number.

People saying is one thing, rallying together to do something is another. Look at Egypt. Every "free" country in the world looked at the possibility of shutting down the internet in case of "terrorism" at that moment. Laws sprang up allowing for such a "threat". That's battering. As long as people just want to share LOLCats and drunken pics of themselves the governments have no worries. Challenge the powers that be (democracy) and there is a "problem".

I don't want to do any of that.
I'm just on a pish posting odyssey. As are, well, saying 99% is to massively over-estimate the numbers of users who want to challenge democracy in any tangible way other than just sounding off.

What I'm saying is that people like me and like you have what is tantamount to absolute freedom to say what we want, up to and including saying that our respective governments suck bawls and to organise peaceful protests. Which happens fairly regularly.

What I think you're saying is that those self-same governments might get a bit twitchy if a group of people start to organise something which isn't legal in their country.

This seems okay to me.

You aren't talking about "freedom", you are talking about the ability to type. Look how benign the Wall Street protests were. Everyone got sent home because they didn't have permits to camp. That'll show the ones being protested against!

Wut, Idol's a big fan of Miami Vice, which was obviously made in the 70s or w.e.

He only likes it sarcastically.

Yeah, I'm talking about the ability to type freely. It's been a theme in our intercourse and is a subject which is dear to my heart.

I don't give two fucks about protests. I don't have anything to protest against.
Have you ever been to Wales. It's lovely.

You're just making that up. There is simply no way you could discern a subtle human foible which passed me by.

I'm the people person, you're the clinical one.

I may have made it up, but I don't think it makes it false. The clinical me was using something forumulaically formulaic.
