    I think it's a great idea to call Communists the "alt-left".

    It is a great way to distinguish liberalism from the current nonsense for those of us that are liberals but not communists.

    It's also a handy way to segregate those that don't really actually believe in liberal values.

    You morons can stop hijacking the term now.

    No. You are just another fascist. It doesn't matter how much you kid yourself.

    Our founding values are not something to abandon the moment they become inconvenient for you. Even the biggest far left nut job out there (Chomsky) manages to acknowledge this even if the rest of you won't any more.

    The copyright of "visual elements" very much a disputable thing. The computer and OS you're using right now would not exist in it's current form otherwise. Apple would have choked it in infancy.

    Stop posting bullshit you know nothing about. There is no "abandonment" in copyright.

    Would be wonderful if such an actual real-property concept were applied to the IP train wreck though.

    TRADEMARK dilution is the only area of IP that has a defend it or lose it aspect.

    This is bullshit and ancient history. Were you even ALIVE when the original was released?

    Some of the clones are pretty ancient too. Not only is this game ancient history but so are it's knock-offs.

    No. This is where "intellectual property" becomes nothing more than a pointless burden on new works and commerce.

    No need. There's 50 years of TV and 100 years worth of cinema to chose from. You don't need to do anything silly like "read a book".

    if you are interested in the back catalog, you don't have to bother with Netflix or any of the streaming services.

    When Hollywood comes out with a bad remake, just watch the original. Sometimes buying the remake is a cheaper way to aquire the original.

    You're far better off going to Ireland or Spain. Poland has also taken a hard line against non-white immigration.

    None of the stuff we're talking about here should even be under copyright any more. The whole lot of it should be in the public domain. The only reason it isn't is because Disney BUYS laws to suit them.

    Utter nonsense. The most heavily used commuter bus route in my home city is still three times more costly in terms of time than just driving. There's really no way to improve on what's already been implemented. It's a relatively well run and well used line.

    The only way to actually make it better might to be make it less "bus like" and thus dramatically less useful.

    If you want birth control, all you need to do is go to the doctor and get a prescription. The pill is ancient and generic now. It costs less than your latte habit.

    "Immigrants" or illegals? Around here, the actual immigrants work in high paying office jobs. They don't clean houses or mow lawns.

    Plenty of native borns are in the working class. You don't necessarily need to import that kind of labor. Assuming people are actually born an raised in the Bay Area, there are undoubtedly plenty of slackers there to do menial labor.

    Someone will have to clean up after you when you become unable to care for yourself. Since you aren't willing to have a new generation of your own, someone else's kids will have to take up the slack.

    Someone needs to keep the economy going and run things. It doesn't matter if it's native borns or imports but either needs to be up to the task.

    The US has plenty of immigration. Our current problem with "illegals" is all about the demand to immigrate into the US. It's not just limited to Mexicans either. There are other countries that have backlogs due to our current policies.

    Also, those policies are driven by what you might call socialist ideals that ignore supply and demand.

    We have to be "fair and equal". That means that Mexicans get the short end of the stick. More of them want to get in but the "fair and equal" quotas can't be violated.

    Your commie propaganda about drugs ignores the problem of economic incentives. Before you take someone to give it to someone else it has to be built first.

    My life was saved by an orphan drug do-gooders like you would sabotaged.

    The US has plenty of immigration. We don't need to have it be completely unregulated.

    We don't need to go out of our way to bring people here on a temporary basis only to be illegals afterwards. Going out of our way to import fundies also seems a bit deranged.
