Senator Dianne Feinstein from California put forth an amendment to NDAA before it was passed, limiting the power to capture of combatants abroad. However, the amendment was voted down 45 to 55 by Democrat senators and one Independent, Joe Lieberman. This was also after Obama had threatened to veto the bill if the wording was included.

Here is the losing vote- http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=112&session=1&vote=00213

Feinstein tried then again to add wording to the bill to specifically exclude American citizens. This amendment never made it to vote- http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/FeinsteinAmendment2USCitizenBan.pdf

Obama even stated that the 2001 AUMF already gave him the power to detain US citizens without trial. He is not fighting for our civil liberties, that is undeniable.

Instagram loses 25% of its users

Replying to entangledphysx · God I hate instagram. Everyone I know of facebook wants to put a stupid instagram filter on their pictures. Lo-fi, grainy, shitty colors. wtf. I hate it so bad.

I'll be honest, some of my friends on Facebook look much better through a filter. It softens the sometimes harsh genetic realities.

'Stop the bullshit' says T-Mobile CEO

Replying to GTDesperado · It's not even financed, really. At the end of the two years, your bill still stays the same.

Not anymore with T-Mobile. Also, they did subsidize part of my phone. I called them up and told them I wanted the Galaxy Note 2, but I was not going to pay full price. I've been a customer with them for 8 years, and I to

UK porn blocking

I am in Dubai right now, and they are blocking porn. They are also blocking atheism sites. I currently cannot view threads on /r/atheism either. It sucks!

Religious websites riskier than porn for online viruses: study

Replying to inpu · I agree. Many religious sites look like they're run by people who are not very tech savvy.

That's putting it very nicely. I'd say it looked like a half retarded monkey made it. Only half retarded though, so at a passing glance one might think it knew what it was doing; especially other half retarded monkeys.

Galaxy S III beats out iPhone 4S as top selling device in US

Replying to weaseldick · Samsung fanboys are the worst. Everyday they post an article and attack iPhone users in the comments section. Their attitude makes me never want to buy a samsung phone.

What is a Samsung fanboy? I've never met anyone that will only buy Samsung. Android fanboys, yes. Samsung fanboys, no. Perhaps I am just not looking the right places.
