c) Where the hell is your geek card? Your failure to call the front desk makes me think that you've never had one.

Call someone? Talk to people? Where the hell is your geek card?

I'm sitting in a restaurant right now piggybacking on the neighboring hotel wifi by using an icmp tunnel.
I called no one, because I'm a geek.

Which hotel am I using anyway? Oh sweet. It's a Hilton.

The sad thing is those on the Left that claim they're all for free speech, then what do they do...try to censor anything they don't agree with. The Right does it too, but the Left has [Trump]ed them in terms of noise level. And the mainstream media ... White Noise from The Interrupters pretty much sums it up.

I'm actually glad I got rid of my TV and don't listen to the radio.

I might be movin' to Montana soon

Just to raise me up a crop of Dental Floss

Raisin' it up

Waxin' it down

In a little white box that

I can sell uptown

By myself I wouldn't

Have no boss,

But I'd be raisin' my lonely Dental Floss

Raisin' my lonely Dental Floss

Turn off your computer and make sure it powers down
Drop it in a forty-three-foot hole in the ground
Bury it completely, rocks and boulders should be fine
Then burn all the clothes you may have worn any time you were online!

Do it now "before it emails your grandmother all of your porn."

we never eat jelly
they make it with wine
and one little bite turns a man to a swine
think -just imagine- how sinful the day:
THE CHIDREN all wasted on PB and J

"If I'll be alive tomorrow

BUT if I'm alive tomorrow
I am sure Ill drink tomorrow

Some on the sly

  Brad Paisley - Alcohol Lyrics

I can make anybody pretty
I can make you believe any lie
I can make you pick a fight
With somebody twice
Your size

Well I've been known to cause a few breakups
And I've been known to cause a few births
I can make you new friends
Or get you fired from work.

And since the day I left Milwaukee
Lyncheburg Bordeaux, France
Been making the bars
With lots of big money
And helping white people dance

I am medicine and I am poison
I can help you up or make you fall
You had some of the best times
You'll never remember with me
Alcohol, alcohol

Yes since the day I left Milwaukee
Lynchburg, Bordeaux, France
Been makin' the bars lots of big money
And helpin' white people dance

Yea I got you in trouble in high school
And college now that was a ball
You had some of the best times
You'll never remember with me
Alcohol, alcohol

"Either you drink or you don't. If you do, then you are incapable of living without being intoxicated. Ask yourself why you get drunk."

Unless this coment was posted by an omnicient G*d, I find it presumptuous and rude. Some people really need to abstain... totaly. I respect them for recognizing that fact. Other people are able to use psychoactives without losing control. I respect THEIR right to do so (legality of any particular substance is another issue).

And for another part of that picture, from a US Major General Smedley Butler :
http://www.ratical.org/ratvill...
"WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.
In the World War [I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows.
How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle?
Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few -- the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill.
And what is this bill?

John S. Hall (aka King Missile) It's Saturday:

I want to be different, like everybody else I want to be like
I want to be just like all the different people
I have no further interest in being the same
Because I have seen difference all around
And now I know that that's what I want

I don't want to blend in and be indistinguishable
I want to be a part of the different crowd
And assert my individuality along with the others
Who are different like me

I don't want to be identical to anyone or anything
I don't even want to be identical to myself
I want to look in the mirror and wonder
"Who is that person? I've never seen that person before
I've never seen anyone like that before"

I want to call into question the very idea
That identity can be attached
I want a floating, shifting, ever changing persona
Invisibility and obscurity

Detachment from the ego and all of it's pursuits
Unity is useless
Conformity is competitive and divisive and leads only to
Stagnation and death

I'd bet it against your soul, because I think I'm better than you.

What does that even mean?

It's a reference to a country song, The Devil Went Down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels Band, in which a boy bets his soul against a golden fiddle in a duel with the devil.

....showed that 12 people who agreed to take the banned hallucinogenic drug during therapy sessions felt 'significant reductions in anxiety' about their lives ending.

He owns the rights to C... and that's good enough for me.

Given how many rounds are expended and how many people are involved, you could probably make a point that a rifle range is one of the safest places to be. No human endeavor is entirely safe. Hell, I spent this weekend pulling fish hooks out of various aspects of peoples anatomy and I've flown people to Seattle with fish hooks embedded in the eye.

Careful out there, something is liable to get you.

Sigh.

You know what!!!
you actually created your today way back in the '70s by arming the Talebs, teaching them to fight so that they could take on the Soviets and then by pulling out. It was exactly the perspective above that eventually led America into Af/Iraq.

You are making EXACTLY the same mistake again. Remember the old saw - Those who do not remember history are condemned to repeat their mistakes.

Having intervened, you have no idea what the consequences of your actions in Iraq & Af have been. If you don't want another monster rising, you will need to stay committed (even by a smaller amount) to these places.

You talk about "policing the world". It is exactly this perspective that breeds resentment amongst the rest of the world. It will do you good to remember Bob Dylan's song http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-times-they-are-achangin-lyrics-bob-dylan.html . His words hold for all of us.

Instead of policing/grabbing leadership, look at joining hands with the world. It is longer term and more sustainable. Think soft power. Hard power only lasts as long as you are the meanest bully in town AND have the resources to fight. Remember the Roman Empire, the Greeks, and so many millions of tribes/empires that came and vanished.

Finally remember Shelley's poem Ozymandias!!! Will that be your legacy?

Put differently, if instead of wanting to outlaw written descriptions of child sexual abuse, the MP wanted to outlaw videos and pictures portraying it (which is already outlawed), would your argument be different?

Well, to play devil's advocate here ...

In the case of videos and pictures showing it, there is a real, genuine physical assault and a crime happening. In the case of written stories, there's no actual people involved. It's something which, until proven otherwise is fiction.

And in the case of starting to outlaw fiction because it depicts things which we may not like, it starts to get a little creepy in terms of what the state can/should control.

So, to use a slightly more neutral example, take the lyrics of Pumped up Kicks which is about someone with violent thoughts.

Do we outlaw such things? The rationale would more or less be the same I think, outlawing something which describes potentially dangerous/illegal behavior but nothing has actually happened yet.

It just seems when you start outlawing thoughts and ideas you're getting into some truly grey areas. Which crimes is having written stories about merit being outlawed? Only child abuse? Murder? Robbery? Jay walking? Littering?

This just seems like one of those many well-meaning but entirely misguided attempts at a law which goes beyond the scope of what laws are usually allowed to do.

Hell, I believe it would make the classic book Lolita illegal, would it not?

However we continue In spite of the fact that The fuel may be low on Your record player. we Suggest that in places In the fourth world Where things are really Tough that you keep The record player Going by rubbing two Sticks together.

The problem most rational people have with this is that picking the moment of conception as the beginning of life is completely arbitrary

If where you draw that line makes no difference, why not draw the line even earlier? Why decide that 'life' starts when sperm and egg come together, and instead take the Every Sperm is Sacredmantra? A sperm cell and an egg cell on their own aren't all that different from the two cells together. People picked that point because it's an easily identifiable step in the process of procreation, but that doesn't make it particularly special.

I'd say this is a troll, but I know there are morons out there who would actually believe this shit.

"picking the moment of conception as the beginning of life is completely arbitrary"

As is picking the moment of birth. As is picking the moment the fetus is viable - our medical technology increases all the time and the moment of viability could one day be the moment of conception.

"A sperm cell and an egg cell on their own aren't all that different from the two cells together."

Actually, they're vastly and fundamentally different.

The point of conception IS particularly special, because it's the point where actual human DNA is formed, instead of two disparate half sets that can't ever do anything. Said DNA proceeds to replicate and do it's thing, making all other points simply an application of the Grow() function.

The point of conception is indeed unique from all other points in life. Whether or not you feel it's wrong to kill a person ever, while they're a child, while they're unborn, while they're unborn and don't pose a risk to the mother's life, while they're unborn and don't pose a risk to the parents' life (financially, emotionally), while they're unborn and show defects, while they're unborn and don't look like a person, etc. if up to you and completely arbitrary. And when things are arbitrary, you're just going to have to fucking deal with people having different opinions than you. Spouting arbitrary bullshit and claiming you're being "rational" and other are stupid makes you the irrational, stupid fuck.

that's the point, sexconker all of the points are arbitrary. When did the GP posit that there was a definite point at which something is or is not a human being?

as for the point of conception being the formation of human DNA - so? what's so special about this? cells replicate and die all the time, sometimes sexually, sometimes not. these processes are not unique, and the coming together of sex cells isn't all that special. nor is human's DNA any more special that the DNA of any other species, most of which we're happy to swat, slaughter, weed or cull. your DNA isn't particularly sacred, neither are a few human cells. people like to pick sexual conception because it's easy to spot and because humans like to think that they're special. there's nothing wrong with that, but you should own up to your own bias before spouting off insults

the only values that make your life or my life any more important than the lives of the other things with DNA that we kill and eat are semantic ones. if I am going to use semantic values to determine the importance of a life, how important are a few human DNA cells to me? at that point the ones in her womb aren't much more special than the microbe cells that I kill when I wash my hands

The problem most rational people have with this is that picking the moment of conception as the beginning of life is completely arbitrary

Your more likely going to be flagged for using Blink 182 lyrics then anything else.

One thing I don't like is blind nationalism, especially in our military. Look around at all the "support our troops" stickers on cars. What does anyone do to support them? Do people stop and think what they are doing and why? Do people realize that Congress voted to allow the President to send real, living people to the other side of the planet to kill people? Do people understand those are real bullets, people are dying every day, and that every known reason for doing this has been proven to be a lie?

Rage Against the Machine has a great song about this. If you don't like the style you can still read the lyrics :) I've been imagining tee shirt designs involving the phrase "A Yellow Ribbon Instead Of A Swastika" ... maybe written in yellow ribbon? Anyway.

This dance song has the best car analogy ever in it.

I never heard of her either. So I went on youtube, searched for lilly allen, saw a promo for a song called "the fear."

Here are the lyrics:

Then I saw that lilly allen got topless for some award show http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/12/lily-allen-topless-for-gq_n_284560.html

She wasn't being ironic with the song, she was just expressing what she does.

Don't worry lilly, there isn't a chance in hell that I would ever buy or download your songs, your music is awful. It is studio produced, lacks any sort of musicality, doesn't stick in my head because its soft, weak, and meaningless drivel.

If a copy of your cds came free with my rent, I would move, just so I wouldn't be associated with it. It is a fraud to call what lilly allen creates music.

This is no surprise. After all, everybody wants prosthetic foreheads on their real heads.

Frank Zappa's "Trouble Every Day" seems to have something to say about shoddy TV news, too...

http://www.metrolyrics.com/trouble-every-day-lyrics-frank-zappa.html
http://www.last.fm/music/Frank+Zappa/_/Trouble+Every+Day

Well, it's quite simple, there are portions of other people's copyright that you can use without regard to licensing and often, if your making money from it, the licensing costs aren't that much if they are even needed.

In your example of Acid Bath (Which I am somewhat familiar with), simply altering the depiction of Doctor Sues could have been enough to evade copyright altogether. Interestingly, if you would have consulted a copyright lawyer first, he probably could have gotten a low cost license for distorted images that wouldn't have led people to believe it would have been the original Dr Sues Cat in the hat.

Anyways, I read through the case you linked to. The court was right in it's decision on the cat's not in the hat. But your situation was completely different. First the court found that Dr Juice copied image verbatim from Dr. Seuss' works. Second, they found that the parody simply didn't exist because in no place did their works criticize The cat in the hat or Dr. Seuss but it used it's style, rhymes and so on. Outside of using their images, I'm not sure it would even be close to the same case. They used a reference in culture and made fun of it (albeit in a dark way) to describe the events surrounding them in today's culture. That's exactly what Fair use was supposed to be used for. It would be more like Two live Crew's situation with Pretty woman. Anyways, directly copying the image probably would have been a "no no" but a lawyer in the field of copyright could have given invaluable guidance there that would have stopped Seuss from doing a damn thing. It most likely would have ended up with your intent being the same and getting by with what you were attempting to accomplish.

You originally mentioned using Matt Groening's works in fair use. Have you ever watched family guy when they do a "like that one time I" flashbacks? They don't reproduce the characters exactly, they do rough imagery of them and insinuate but they don't need licenses for each time they do it. That's because it falls into fair use and their lawyers tell them what they can get by with.

The point is, if you don't know for sure, get a lawyer, especially if your planning on selling stuff and making money from it. Trust me, it is not an burdensome expense and you will be surprised at how much you can do that you think you currently cannot. Your manager did you a disservice by talking you out of visiting with a copyright lawyer to at least see where you stood. "Seuss" had to protect it's assets or risk having them watered down, it could have very well been possible that they could have worked out a deal even if it meant twisting the images a little (which I'm sure isn't a problem for a metal band). Approaching them before hand would have made it easier but as long as they feel their assets were being protected, there is no rational reason for them to continue to object to actual fair use. I can't find an image of the art work so I can't really comment on if I think it would be fair use or not. But then again, I'm not a lawyer and I'm not yours. I suggest getting one, the case you provided doesn't really seem to be in the same league and your situation.

BTW, did you say you were in Acid Bath or worked with them/their works?
