Hey all,

I'm pretty good with computers but I can't figure this out. I'm at work now, but on my Linux system at home I can't access this site (and can't ping it, for you computer people), but I can access the other popular knicks site starting with Real. I can access this site with windows though (same computer, dual boot), please no Linux jokes

Any ideas? I don't have it blocked that I'm aware of but don't see where that is an option in my Linux browser, which is firefox.

Thanks

It's probably a Firefox issue.

Just to make sure it's not something else, try lynx and see if you can access the site.

P.S.: Linux rules. Down with Microshaft!

Nalod, it will work off Internet Explorer just not Mozilla based browsers. You can fix Mozilla browsers too:
1) Run command prompt as a user with admin rights.
2) Copy and paste: "netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=restricted" without the quotes and hit Enter

Mozilla guys fixed it in the browsers and should be available in the next update of firefox. They called the bug the 'ultimateknicks bug.' Looks like Isiah ****ed this one up too!

The amount of misinformation fed to most inhabitiants in the muslim world is pretty bad.

The only reason that place even matters is they got oil. Since the those who control oil won't reinvest it in back in their country is pure greed. We can't let the royal families go by the way side because they would double the price of oil causing havic, then squander the profits on continued ineffienct manner such as fraud and corruption so the profits will never flow to the people anyway.

A culture that does not understand investment in capital or the mind is tough to deal with. And they don't believe in credit.

How do you build an economic base with that? They want to tear down all other societies but not do anything with it.

The Nalod institute of peace offers no solution that is really applicable. Its rather abstract and rather violent. You can't deal with those who don't want peace. So perhaps its important we give them what they want. I wish there was a better solution than just passing the problem along to another generation and let them deal with it.

I understand many of our foriegn policy in the middle east was based on cold war logic that really made sense at the time. Problem is it forged some distain that we are now dealing with.

Playa, I have traveled around the world, including studied and visted Soviet Russia back in the day and would agree that Socialism on the outside is quite appealing but has many drawbacks that also slap down minorities. I suggest you really look at what works in this country and not just what does not. Despite its faults, and lord knows all forms of gov't on this planet have them, the US government is the best game in town.

Whare does racism not exist? Where can Black people live better?

Im not saying equality is not cool, it is, but so much of the surface of this planet does not have it. It does not exist. At any level. Africa is still not ecnomically independent by any means and colonial residue still is prevelant to many nations. Thus, the internal strif in many nations (waring tribes, black vs. white, etc) still goes on and on. Coruption and ineffienct markets still dominate the politics and ecnomic landscape of so many nations. Is for other nations to bail them out? IT costs money and lives to do so.

I don't have the solutions, but believe you base improvement on economic and it takes care of itself from their. I believe any society or culture improves without education and investment.

Money talks.

So what do I think about what they think about us? Not much.

And the wealthy concentration in Dubai makes me want to vomit. Dubai is a standing monument to all that is wrong with the ecnomic base, but since the solution does not jive with western best interests it won't improve.

Thus its imperitive we reduce of dependancy of opec oil. Really, thats where you start.

And in a society were the new status symbol is about the large luxury SUV, we are not gonna get until it hits our wallet.

The US consumer really has its head up its ass!

Although I only asked about the opinions of the middle eastern people I'm impressed with your vast knowledge of the other countries. Nalod I didn't know you were gonna send me an essay on how minorities are being treated and how america is the best place to live for the black man jargon. LOL thanks man

The solution for Middle East is simple - let them do their thing, let them leave their live, and they will destroy themselves much faster that we think. Look at Soviet Union, Kabojia, North Korea, Arabs in Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran. They was/are unstable and when leaving alone self-destructive.
The only force which keeps these societies alive is OUR politicians, which will have nothing to do if the world will take its natural ways. Job security man.
I understand their hatred but as usual instead of blowing the a...s of OUR politicians they killing innocent people. They hit what they can reach.
World is simple. People make it complicated.

Thanks for the replies guys and silverfuel I'll try your workaround. I was going crazy.

Well I don't really agree with what your saying arkrud. I think there is allot more evidence to say that meddling in other peoples business is more destructive than non-intervention.
Pretty good idea, that Constitution (not to mention this country) that this country was formed under, and now a certain president is being directed to dismantle it, via a war on terrorism, but let's not leave out the good old standby "war on drugs" funds raiser I'm all for people, but the way he pushed forward this blanket amnesty for illegals just stinks of being outside. The guy has trouble talking about relatively simple things, and I'm not saying that as a critic, rather as an observation. Hopefully what has been created can still be dismantled. I want to know who is pushing this ie. Amnesty all of a sudden and why? This Trans Texas corridor. Put 2 and 2 together, if there was really a terror problem, the first thing you do is secure your borders, not open them. Again, I'm questioning the motive. I do want things to work out for everyone who is alive, not just certain nations or peoples. I'm just questioning the motive.

If you are truly worried about a foreign country, give them a reason to Love you, not hate you. It sounds crazy to most cause we have been raised in a world of divide, suffering, competition, war, fear etc and apparently most people don't see through the so called "News" into what is actually happening and has been happening. This created fear campaign is a last stand. (I'm not saying real terrorists don't exist). Tensions seem to be rising everywhere.

Now they are trying to clamp down on the internet. Please see through this terror as a way of controlling us, both on the streets and on the net.

Ask if what is happening is really good for us. Just about every terrorist suspect with these so called terror alerts has been let go. Lack of evidence time and time again. The recent JFK plot is also falling apart. Before that the never to be heard of again liquid bomb on the English plane. It's getting old. Olberman walks through it on google video, worth watching.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az7yl-UnsQQ
Just keep our internet free and usher in a form of communication and government that is transparant, sort of like linux and you got a chance. No secrets and no self interested, wealth and control based meddling. You know, this Military Industrial Complex will end this place if it is run for control
and profit. Private weapons manufacturers making billions a year.

There is something that must be observed here. When few people who have controlling interests that are vast and extremely powerful and influential (if by nothing else than the sheer amount), I'd say we need to start connecting the dots and see where this form of control leads from (we see where it's leading to). We need to start looking at the behavior , interests and huge money stashes of these super wealthy people. Like the Rothschild's, Rockefeller's and other very very big money people. Look into those non profit orgs owned by these wealthy (ie. Rockefellers) and see the CONTROL they have over things like health and education. From cradle to entering the real world. We, as a quote world power, should have the best education and health system.

None of us really know what is going on here, but you know something is. You can feel it.

We are being told that if we have nothing to hide then we should not mind being watched, well now I pose that to these people. If they got nothing to hide, then lets see what their influence is doing through the companies they in one way or another own. Trillions in bank accounts while people live in poverty. (And hell, the money is mostly just printed.) Start here: Banking, Media, oil, etc...

At the pace we are going what this place needs to survive is just short of divine intervention, because it doesn't take a psychic to see where the lamb are being led to.

Whether you agree or not, just connect some of these dots. Something ain't right.

Great you wrote a mile long post, yet you did not say anything with it. You do not make a single factual statement, yet you lay the blame on some mysterious bad guys. You sound completely paranoid. There are obvious financial and political interests that play out on world stage. It is not exactly hidden from anybody with half a functioning brain.

China, US, and Europe are vying for limited natural resources, which are located in Africa, Middle East, and also Russia. While China and Europe do not poses any moral scruples, they just make deals with local governments whatever they may be. Case and point Darfur, China gets their oil form there, so they supply weapons and stall the UN intervention process. France had a lot of money invested in Iraq, so they were against US intervention there. Everybody is trying to get a peace of Africa, with Chinese being most successfully because they have no problems dealing with genocidal dictatorships.

US does virtually the same thing as the rest but we have scruples so we dress it up for the public as spreading democracy. But in the end of day, we need the resources so that our people are successful. We also more than anybody else try to side with the good guys, but in politics there are no good guys most of the time. We are really damned if we do and damned if we don't.

There are no mysteries, economics and politics explains everything very nicely.

The information is out there. I didn't make the post into a "click here" for information.
Our society is overly rational/left brained, and to hear something with a bit creativity and logic is not game in todays world.
You are entitled to believe whatever you want. If you want to believe what CNN says or college level economics says, then you are entitled to it.
Trace the last 100 years of US presidents back and see where it gets you. Look at George Bush's grandfather selling Hitler oil. It may sound
paranoid but it's true.
If I want to believe what Alex Jones or Alan Watt says, then like.
Both scenarios end in a bad way, so lets not say paranoid. Again, it doesn't take a psychic to see where things are going.
Clearly large money interests have power, inherently. The question is, do they mingle?
look at all the recent terror attacks. Most are let go, no evidence. Something is up. You mean we can't have enough evidence
to prosecute but we can paste it over the news for a week???? Look it up, it's not mentioned at CNN.com.

Even if you disagree with everything, please don't believe what mainstream tells you. It's owned by very very few people and for profit.

France has run into some big time internal revolations about its "cells" that they have still in africa that we call troop bases. They still are politically able to influence governments and are getting some heat about some of these revolations.

Europes state run corporations have big time clout and can dictate things private corps. cannot. The justification is whats good for their people.

Chinese have a big time ethical buisiness practice that seems at times without morals. They don't give a rats ass about anyting. Infact, they'll feed you that Rats ass and tell you there is not rat ass ingrediant. Emerging markets are like that and need to understand it goes beyond culture to be dishonest.

Im not bashing Chinese people, just the way manufactering is being done over there. Like TrueBlue's Nike knock offs. Nobody feels all that bad about ripping off Nike, but I gotta say If I owned shars in NIKE I might consider that your taking money out of my pocket and might be inclined to sent that link to them in order to "Look into it!".

I have had intellectual property taken from me and I gotta say I did not like it one bit. Sh!t happens and you move on. In the end They got theirs anyway. Nalod rules! MOst of the time at least.
