This country kicks ass in the prision department... Highest % of the total population in prision. Highest % of minorities in a prision population. Highest % of juveniles in prision. I love living in the land of the free. You know, thanks to various substances being illegal, we probably have the highest % of criminals outside of prision too.
Now if we had to pay rich people 5% of our salaries (because they are robbed more), that would be the same thing. It would then be ethical to steal from them (at least for 5% of our salaries), because we already paid for that right. (Please note I said ethical, not legal. Thank you.)
Also...just because a product you make is easily copied, doesn't give you the right to, in essense, steal money from another industry (the media manufactors...taxes on your productsalways lower revenue).
The whole concept is based on a fallacy...if someone drives up to my house in a pickup truck and steals my TV, can I levy a tax on pickup trucks until I can afford a new TV? The idea is crazy...but this is what the recording industry has managed to trick people into paying.
I just press the '1 minute' button. For two minutes I press it twice...etc...
Oh, and you can still buy those dial microwaves.
And the 'cool as hell' part of this is when you can get a barcode scanner on the microwave that reads the UPC code and get cooking time off the internet, so you don't press anything....
...with an automatic flip up/flip down door so you don't even have to do that part.:)
Here's a good poll...who liked the site, and who thought it sucked? We'll show scoob what most poeple thought about it, not just those stupid flamers. I only saw it in lynx, and didn't really notice much change...but it seemed okay.

A certified hippy...
A troll follow a troll.
I wonder if I should insult, like, say...emacs, and go for a world record.
