    If you don't mind me asking what do you do for your children's social development? The only problem I have with Home schooling is you can usually tell, when a kid was home schooled.

    I said 80 bumper stickers though, 2-3 bumper stickers it does matter what they say, but past that it doesn't matter; of all the years I've been driving there was one exception and actually I saw it last week.

    Lets play a game someone's driving a clunker and they have 80 bumper stickers on it, which way to they lean?

  19. Re:Hello? on Unpacking the Secrets of ACTA · · Score: 2, Funny

    More or less I usually don't worry too much about semantics. I've found that explaining things in basic terms is the easiest way to get through life. When it comes down to it the difference between (C) infringement and stealing is if $RETAIL is getting screwed in the deal as well. For the most part I haven't heard $RETAIL complain that much, then again I see a whole lot less record stores than I used to...
    In the end it's the pirate vs (C) holders. Stealing basically means that someone isn't getting paid and the (C) holders aren't getting paid, therefore piracy is basically stealing.
     
    I wish I could think of another example because its a bit inflammatory but its lunch time so:
    Manslaughter, 1, 2 deg Murder: end result someone's dead
    Stealing, (C) infringement: end result someone didn't get paid.
     
    Unless we're talking about punishment its a waste of time to argue semantics.
