    People like you are what is wrong with this country. You didn't read a damn thing past the summary.

    I know one struggling indie singer, she's refused to play ball with the labels that have come sniffing around (refused to be slutted up) and her record sales are the difference between making a living as a musician, or having to give it up.
    It's easy to justify pirating music from big-name artists, but in reality, most people don't bother to make that distinction, they just want free music, they don't care the slightest about the repercussions.

  5. Lets get one thing straight on RMS Responds To NPR File-Sharer's Blog · · Score: 1

    If a musician wants to release their music for free, it's their right. YOU do not have the right to make that decision for them. Period.

    What the fuck are you talking about? Gays can't get married, heterosexual couples can. That's a very clear-cut inequality.

  8. Re:True equality on Google Launches International Campaign For Recognition of Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Funny, I don't see gays wanting *more* rights than heterosexuals. Just *equal* rights.

  9. I don't know any gay marriage advocates who would be against polygamy as long as all participants are of age and willingly consent. I think you should be talking to some of the same people who oppose gay marriage.

    Wow only two comments in and some idiot managed to compare a consensual relationship between adults to pedophilia. Next up, some ignoramus saying "but what if a guy wants to marry his Great Dane?"
     

  13. Re:Breathless summary by the clueless on Texas GOP Educational Platform Opposes Teaching Critical Thinking Skills · · Score: 2

    Explain away this one:

    "Controversial Theories – We support objective teaching and equal treatment of all sides of scientific theories. We believe theories such as life origins and environmental change should be taught as challengeable scientific theories subject to change as new data is produced. Teachers and students should be able to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of these theories openly and without fear of retribution or discrimination of any kind."

    There is no scientific controversy regarding evolution. This is merely a way to get Creationism taught in public schools.

    I'm not going to take any chances. There is no reason to be carrying a rifle in a mall unless you just bought it.
    I'll take my life over inconveniencing the moron who was carrying the rifle.

    So people are supposed to know that your assault rifle that you're carrying in a mall is unloaded?

    That's right, I forgot, all firearms owners are well-intentioned angels.
