[pp.int.general] the belgian pirate party needs your help

[Dario]

(Who dares to invoke me? ;)

I can help although the tech is not currently available. It was under
Google App Engine so the cost of running it nowadays would be too high.

BTW, is it a new condition or it existed before? I think that YoAvalo's
success was, partially, due it was a new condition.

Anyway, it will be funny to troll another country's stablishment!

>> If your case is simmilar, we can copy you the website skeleton.

>>
>>  We have to put pressure on the person in charge of that administration.
>> That person is @Paul_Furlan on twitter. We could spam him but it would be

>>
>>  We are fighting for democracy. We are fighting for freedom. We are

>>
>>  Let's be funny, let's be friends. I would like to imagine that *#hellopaul

>> not allow us. So let's do it together all around the world and let's put it
>> as a big smile in front of all the *politicians* let's do it as the
>> hashtag of the day.
>>
>>  And of course, your grandmother goes to toilet it's *#hellopaul* The
>> trains stops it's *#hellopaul* The fish makes a bubble it's to say *
>> #hellopaul* The water is water, the fire is fire. The *#hellopaul* is
>> the *#hellopaul*
>>
>>  We are not anonymous. We are Legion. We are the pirates.

>>  À l'abordaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage.
