PayPal shuts down Mega's account, kills its payment processing
|

The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 28 February, 2015
Succumbing to political pressures, PayPal has shut down the account of Kim Dotcom's Mega file sharing service.
Reportedly, the pressure came from U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy, who was a proponent of SOPA and went directly to Visa and MasterCard who then pressured PayPal.
The move is a huge blow to Mega's business, as PayPal was handling payment processing for the site and its users.

This isn't subjective to the US only, ALL governing parties are guilty of these indiscretions.
Now with that said it does show how BS (corrupted) the US has gotten and shows we are no better than the rest of the world like we were not too long ago. So much for freedom! Embrace Socialism, next step Communism or other dictatorship.
This administration is the all time worst! Which is more than probable the reason you hate the US, lets hope, or it could be what we use to stand for Freedom which scares a good Socialist.
But does it really matter anyway? LOL

So you are claiming that the US was:

You pretentious asshole.
If it were not for the US' illegal, unethical, unChristian and downright WRONG exploitation of the black slaves your dumb country would never have become the most God-awful place on the planet anyway.
The best thing to come out of America is the plane to the UK.

Paypal is the worst payment company on the internet.. well maybe 2nd worst. It's only advantage was that it was basically the first online payment service via e-bay when ebay was also the only bidding site on the web. It won't die because all they do is transactions so the company can keep running even if it only had 100 transactions a year, but it should die because of how bad and insecure of a service it is. Paypal loses e-mails and credit card info regularly to hackers (probably employees) that they don't tell consumers about.

Pretentious Asshole, you say?! Let's look at a few facts-if you retarded island hoppers hadn't have shipped the best dentists and electronics workers you had over here, you wouldn't have children with a complex because of their barracuda-like snaggleteeth, and you wouldn't have had to suffer all those years with such modern brands as "Philco" televisions. Took an American company like Ford to straighten that one out...probably were still using tubes in your televisions until recently...and if it weren't for the U.S., you bastards would probably be speaking German today. Lest we not forget about the money you throw down the 'loo on your worship of worthless monarchy, that doesn't do squat for your nation-they just keep soaking the money up like a sponge, and you all just keep sending it in to them...NOW, I will give you this: our current administration is worthless at best. More than happy to let Africa add them to the aforementioned work-non-release program. The whole subject is ancient history that nobody alive here today had anything to do with, but people like you like to stir the pot... Now, put THAT American tobacco in your pipe and smoke it-Limey douchebag. --Signed a Red-Blooded ancestor of the ones who booted your kind back to your island.

I don't hate America.....I live here. However, I do not like the political situation here what it has become over the past 15 years.
We had approx. 1.5 trillion budget surplus when Clinton left office back in 1999 and a strong economy which Bush took and threw in the garbage.
Since then, the republican party here is sounding more and more like the party of Hitler and Stalin than the party of Lincoln.

Spoken like a true TV news lemming. Yep, you are an expert at parroting what you think is the truth. But you don't look much further than your nose to find it.
FACT: Under Clinton, we through away all the banking regulations that turned banks into Casinos. Your global financial crisis was directly attributed to de-regulation under Clinton. It might have taken 10 more years to have the full affect, but Clinton is your culprit. And that has been felt by every other western country on the planet. You had no strong economy.... You had news spin doctors telling you that, and you were dumb enough to believe it.
Face it, a 4 or 8 year presidential term is irrelevant. What is relevant is the constant demise of the USA over the past 20-30 years. Who's to blame? You are. You fools that believe everything you read in the news and don't dig deeper in history to see the truth. You won't accept that not having the latest iPhone every year = prosperity. You sacrifice your kids education to an out of control capitalistic model of forced debt to enter the middle class. You rate money over health and have no idea what the truly important things in life are. Yet you believe that everything you see on TV is real.
If you subscribe to the TV as truth bullshit, then Edward Snowden is a traitor, Julian Assange is an enemy of the state and Kim Kardashian should be your next president.
With your attitude, I pray for your future. Wake up and smell the bullshit.

No, every other country is copying the US. They realize that the US is the world leader in dysfunction and they want a piece of that action. Originally posted by cammobus:

Amen brother. Not to mention Patent Trolls. Remember Leahy succumbed to Harry Reid's removing any consumer or business protection against Mafia extortion over stupid patents. These jokers have their dicks in the pocket of big business. Mega just has something pretty darn slick, and they are pissed that they can't get at it. Hollywood lobby the crap out of these guys to do their bidding. Its not surprising.
Repubs, Democrats, who gives a crap. They are all the same. We have no elected officials who are not corrupt and until the Supreme court grow a pair and fix Campaign finance reform, this isn't going to get any better.

If that were true we would, but unfortunately for you the facts are that we are the only country that helps others, we lose many solders to help those countries, and we don't take over the countries we help out.

So sayeth the man who obviously had one of his two chickens and half his oats taken away to give to somebody else-who never worked a day to earn it.....you bleeding hearts make me sick. Wait until you have children and then everything you work for gets "redistributed"-then let me know how you feel...better yet, just go ahead and take some things away from your kids and give them to someone you don't know, who secretly has a 60" LED in the living room and an M6 rollin' on 26" Dubs sitting in the driveway. It's attitudes like yours that absolutely kill drive and initiative. Why bother?! As misguided as we get sometimes, I will STILL take my lovely country the Good 'Ol United States of America in all of its capitalistic glory over your no-drive initiatives any day of any life. Cheers!

The banks and car makers loved their "redistributed money" so why can't the people? At least we all would suffer together....
I have a lultarain/socialistic bent, as long as eduction and healthcare is free to cheap and localities have power over their goverment the rest should fall into place in a somewhat even manner.
However when big money controls everything either directly or by proxy things can only get worse as power pools upwards to enslave everyone below.

Has anyone here seen my goat? I tied it to a post outside
while I went inside the bodega to buy some cigs, I stepped back
outside, and my goat's gone.
Here's its mug shot...
Thought I'd ask in case it ran through here.
Carry on.
