You know, I have an aunt who insists that the TV tells her to wear certain clothes and perform certain acts that, shall we say, fall outside the range of normal and acceptable human behavior. Would the prudent thing in this case be to accept that it is possible the TV is doing this to her, or to assume there's something wrong with her mind due to the fact that no one she's informed of this experiences the same effects?
Your solution is easy - you need to adjust your living situation so that you couldn't possibly have neighbors who won't respect your desire for peace and quiet. Otherwise, you have only yourself to blame. Other people are not responsible for living the way you want them to live.
I guess it would be very international of us to pass the "Citizens of All Nations with All Disabilities Act" but enforcement would be much more difficult. Unless you'd like us to plan out a few more invasions, involving street crews to lower the curbs at crosswalks.
I think you're wrong, as long as people can get something for nothing and avoid negative consequences, that's what they'll do. High profile test runs notwithstanding, there's a culture of entitlement amongst internet users that isn't going to go away anytime soon.
Somehow, I think the idea of a bunch of people too lazy to even pay for their entertainment rising up from their chairs, never mind against the gov't, is ridiculous.
Yeah, seriously. I can't believe they're allowed to get away with not selling software on my terms. Assholes. What happened to power to the people? Seems like all the power is in the hand of people who aren't people, instead of people, like me and you. Little guys is what I think we're calling ourselves in this thread, right?
Since the Texas reforms seem aimed at making sure people claiming injury are actually injured, I'll go with them. Not being rich doesn't imply honesty or deserving reward.
I'm not certain you understand how engineering requirements get developed. They generally don't come from the engineers themselves, you may be interested to learn.
Yeah, it's a real shame that people don't take the time to find out every single idea anyone has ever had so they don't duplicate things. What a sad world.
Or possibly, just possibly, this is a story about the US market and your world-view whining is completely misplaced. If you want only international news, you'd be best served to stop coming to a US site for it.

So impart your wisdom on the subject. What reasons do you have for your opposition aside from aesthetics?

Dude, Asian American whispers, please.
How about because California is full of self-important shitheads like you, who denigrate the rest of the country without even understanding it.

Maybe it's just me.
Is that from the book of the bitter zealot?

That mistake kinda undercuts your point.
So to sum up your post, you're free to do whatever you want, so long as we tell you that you can.
Yeah, I don't think you made your point too well. Now ease down, sparky.
You're insulted by being called poor? You should probably try to make more money then.
You're having a windmill forcibly built on your land by T Boone Pickens? My god, that's horrible, these billionaires will stop at nothing.
Poor you, having to share the world with other people
Here's what it amounts to in real numbers.
Those people don't care about the choice and wouldn't know how to make it if one were present. The exceptions to that statement buy Macs.
Yeah, it's a real shame that people don't take the time to find out every single idea anyone has ever had so they don't duplicate things. What a sad world.
I'll never be impressed.
Come on, let everyone else feel smart, I suspect they don't get many opportunities.
I don't think you understand what psychology actually is. Picture paying someone 200 bucks an hour to talk to them.
And when idiots use stoves, sometimes they get burned. Life is like that. Too bad for them.
