I'm sick of going to websites like YouTube, Google, and so on and getting everything spit back at me in Korean. I'm sorry that I don't stay in the same place all the time, but my browser does this great thing by telling you that I speak English as it's spoken in the US.
Stop spitting foreign (to me) languages at me when I access your service from my own computer from the other side of the world. Please.
Whoever thought that this behavior was a good one is an imbecile, and should be fired immediately.
At least Google is kind enough to leave my stuff in English when I hit up iGoogle and search from there, but YouTube ignores the fact that I'm logged in with the same account that it usually spits English at and instead gives me undecipherable pages.
I knew that hiring 10k people in a year was retarded for a company that needs far fewer to do what it does (here's looking at you, Google), and I know that a lot of super sub-par people were hired instead of more capable ones, but jesus fucking christ. Don't be so stupid about this sort of thing.
Feel free to explain to me why I'm wrong and stupid. I'm all ears.

A sad few days for America
1. Telecom immunity
2. Louisiana and ID
I guess I don't strictly need to say more, but for those out there that don't know me, I'll give it a shot by rephrasing them.
1. It's OK to break the law and spy on your citizens as long as you're the government, since you can retroactively absolve the cooperating parties from any wrongdoing that you strong-armed them into complying with. The 4th amendment is just some words on a piece of paper that we don't have to abide by.
2. One of the dumbest states in the union (both the constituents and their elected officials) has once again proven itself as such by allowing Intelligent Design into the classroom. All you need to know is that Jesus loves you, and the rest is just details that can be easily ignored.
The Telecom thing just solidifies my view that we're living in Oceania.
The ID thing almost makes me laugh because it's the deep south and everyone knew that they were stupid. If you haven't ever heard of ID, it's the theory that if we can't currently explain something because it's more complicated than we can currently figure a way for it to have evolved, then it was probably done by an exponentially more complicated entity that you can't see, hear, or point to that (for whatever reason) is self-evident. A corollary is that people 2000 years ago who didn't know about the atom, electron, motions of planets, or calculus and who believed that the entire universe was created sometime after man stopped being nomadic had everything figured out and were spoken to by this entity. The extent of what he or she has done is inversely proportional to your level of education and intelligence.
I can't believe that I get to live through such an absurd time in our history.
