My girlfriend and I have been arguing about this for the past week, and it is because she fails to understand one thing, neither of these two people betrayed the United States of America.
They are being called traitors because they betrayed the United States government, by informing the citizens of the United States about the things that the government was hiding from the citizens. The AP claimed that the U.S. military killed their reporters, the government denied it, and Bradley Manning proved the AP right. Various citizens and civil rights groups have filed lawsuits to stop the warrantless surveillance that had been established to have been started under the Bush administration, and continued under Obama, only to have the their cases dismissed because they could not prove that they were illegally targeted. Now they can prove it, thanks to Edward Snowden.
My question to you is: who is a greater threat to the United States, Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden, for informing the citizens of what the government is hiding from us, or Grover Norquist, whose stated goal is "to make government so small that can drown in a thimble full of water"?

Fuck UPS!
So, I have been a bit busy, and nothing has really pissed me off lately, but that has changed.
To make a long story short, I saw a power supply tester for $15 on Newegg, on Memorial Day weekend, and decided to buy it. After four days of work, I see one of UPS's InfoNotices, with the "Final Attempt" box checked. Needless to say, this was the first one that I saw. After some phone calls and emails, my package is being returned to Newegg.
The long and short of it is, I contacted Newegg and requested a refund of my money and stated that I will not do business with them as long as they do business with UPS.
I now know what UPS means, USELESS PIECE of SHIT. I do not find it coincidental that the company's color is brown; in fact, I think it is appropriate.
What bothers me is that not only are they shitting on their own revenue stream because of their incompetence, but they have now negatively impacted Newegg, through incompetence and/or indifference, and all of the other online retailers that I will not do business with because they choose to use UPS as their shipper. Way to help the economy assholes!
In closing, fuck you UPS! What can brown do for me? Absolutely nothing! Here is a tip, buy stock in FedEx, and pay your taxes, so your local Post Office doesn't close on weekends. Since I'm in a pissy mood, I'm gonna give a shout out to DHL, just to FUCK UPS!!!
