POPS'Mafia state' leader Putin knew of poison plot that killed former KGB spy in London
The cables were just part of a set of new messages released last night that painted Russia as being awash in corruption, with government officials, oligarchs and gangsters working hand-in-hand to create a 'virtual mafia state.' A senior Spanish investigator alleged to the U.S. that 'organised crime groups do whatever the government of Russia cannot acceptably do as a government'. Jose Grinda Gonzalez is Spain's national prosecutor with has ten years chalked up fighting the Russian mafia. He is responsible for the pursuit of Zakhar Kalashov, believed to be the most senior Mafia figure to be jailed outside Russia. On January 13, he gave a 'detailed, frank' briefing to U.S. officials in Madrid in which he said that organised crime had a huge grip on the global economy. He said Russia, Belarus and Chechnya were 'virtual mafia states' and that for each of the countries 'one cannot differentiate between the activities of the government and organised crime groups.'

POPSCSI Comes To Second Life An upcoming episode of CSI:NY will occur partly in Second Life. It will center around a murder who is stalking his prey virtually through SL. While I am not a big fan of CSI (can anyone say overacting) this episode will be interesting for one main reason... How many people will sign up for SL after the episode, and will the influx of users crash the SL servers? This should be cool :)

POPSMurderer's Mother Blames Videogames for Sons's Actions It is staggering the lengths people will go to lay blame elsewhere. I knew he was playing the video games but we didn't really know what went on in them, how brutal and graphic they were. Indifference to your child's activities cannot be blamed on an entertainment medium. he donned a long dark wig, sunglasses and jacket from the ‘killing kit' he had spent 10 months amassing on eBay. He then headed out with a large hunting knife. and police discovered that, before the murder, Harling spent days on the internet talking to paedophiles and researching serial killers So the internet supplied the research and the materials, where is the outrage against the internet? "Stuart never gave us any reason to think he was violent at all. He was a very normal boy—quiet and reserved. Except that he was playing violent games and the using the internet to research serial killers and purchasing the equipment necessary to mimic them

POPS'Grand Theft Auto' makers blamed for triple killing Give me a #%&ing break! Stop blaming video games because you neglect your kids!!!!! Video games don't breed homicidal maniacs, bad parent, bad schooling, bad society does! (With a healthy (or unhealthy) smattering of mental disorder...) These pricks are likely just wanting to blame someone for their own miserable failures, and are seeing big price tags at rockstar & co. It's pathetic.
