POPSHate Crimes in 2007 Mississippi = 0, a surprising outcome. Does it mean agencies don't report them? Or are people the most tolerant down there now due to the huge attention Mississippi got from history and Hollywood?

POPSBlackberry dialing 911 by accident Useful advice, especially if we do not want our dispatchers overwhelmed by people who use this phone. If you're one of these users you don't want to get fined by the police either.

POPSSen. Chris Dodd: We backed the coup against Chavez Oops! I guess Chavez is not pissed because he "hates freedom and America". Maybe he actually has a valid reason. Playing God with other countries' governments only gets us more enemies. http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/42741920-AE83-4BA8-8940-294E515C0A8F/

POPSPop limit has been brought down lower Seriously, what is the issue with people popping every single thing they have liked??? Why limit the pop number so much?? If you're worried crazy stuff or spam will be popped by fake accounts and flood the place, how about just increasing the pop number before something becomes popular. On the same token, increase the pop number before a clip can move up one place up in the pop list. Problem solved. No need to become a Pop Nazi. "NO POP FOR YOU!!!"

POPSNationalism vs. Patriotism In the light of what has been said we understand how utilitarianism, the doctrine which defines morality not in terms of what is good but of what is advantageous, threatens the freedom of individuals and nations and obstructs the building of a true culture of freedom. Utilitarianism often has devastating political consequences, because it inspires an aggressive nationalism on the basis of which the subjugation, for example, of a smaller or weaker nation is claimed to be a good thing solely because it corresponds to the national interest. No less grave are the results of economic utilitarianism, which drives more powerful countries to manipulate and exploit weaker ones.

POPSIgnorance and democracy The main pillar of democracy is a well-informed populace. If people's education is low then their perception of the world can be easily manipulated.
