I know what you mean. Though I haven't taken to your particular example of legitimizing rape, I have been tempted to believe some other offensive things in the process of treating morality as an emotion to be passed over in favor of "logical self-interest", which may or may not coincide with common moral conceptions. (However, I am still quite willing to consider a different moral angle on moral issues such as environmental protection.)
Well, the naturist mindset of being less hung up (pun intended) about the human body seems like an improvement over the current situation of moral panic, even if your sexual positivism is a different story.
You seem to be lamenting that less-cerebral activities unfortunately pay more; perhaps many people are also thinking that the less-cerebral activities are more enjoyable. For example - Heck, I'm a smart person myself, but I do enjoy a lot of lower-brow entertainment
(Conversely, perhaps serious academics are more of a miserable slog than they have to be?)
In the relevant accounting/finance sense of the term, cash refers to not only piles of physical currency but also to some other highly liquid assets such as bank account balances.

Epsilon Informs AbeBooks of E-mail Database Breach
We have been informed by Epsilon, a third-party vendor we use to send e-mails, that an unauthorized person outside their company accessed files that included e-mail addresses of some AbeBooks customers. Epsilon has advised us that the files that were accessed did not include any customer information other than email addresses.
As a reminder, AbeBooks will never ask customers for personal or account information in an e-mail. Please exercise caution if you get any emails that ask for personal information or direct you to a site where you are asked to provide personal information.

Honestly though, I just don't feel myself getting worked up over this stuff (although there are more-serious privacy issues)
I've never had a credit card with them unlike some sibling commenters, but I've never particularly minded them for regular bank accounts
The in-branch customer-service (teller transactions, etc.) of big banks generally isn't a problem, and that's most of what I deal with.
The debit card rewards program is getting phased out with the new debit card fee regulations - very well, it's a logical response to their fees being cut. and what they were keeping would now accrue to the customer or retailer anyway.
yes, it seems the D's don't vote/act as cohesively as the R's, weakening what majorities they do get and further weakening them when in the minority, a factor leaning against their supporters. (Not sure the degree to which the Tea Party divides the R's in this matter) A major issue in two-party systems...
buying advertisements comes off as double-dipping to many people, yes, but if something's an ad and worthwhile content in and of itself, why not? might encourage adverts that are actually the opposite of the usual bothersome.
Even if you don't set its tasks to run automatically, I've found DirSync Pro to be a very useful GUI tool for streamlining the process of copying/syncing stuff between local drives. (Local backups do serve some purpose, and you can of course use it with portable drives if you want.)
even though impeachment is most known for being used against presidents, it applies to federal civil officers more generally. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_States even lists some federal judges who did get the boot in this manner.
Yes, those who work in an industry logically tend to have valuable information on it. Of course, bias concerns stemming from that are just as logical.
Another example is how repair personnel who often have the best grasp on what you need fixed are also the ones selling you the parts and labor to get it fixed.
However, if these people have a clue (not guaranteed), they wouldn't want to kill YouTube as a way of being introduced to new music. You say they'd _want_ to kill that way of being introduced to indie bands? Well, I've also been introduced to some major-label acts this way; in general, I feel thatb the majors can just as surely make use of these technological devlopments.
Yeah, the thought-process progression from paragraphs 1 to 3 is what I'm afraid of. For some reason, I hadn't thought of connecting this to issues with music on YouTube, but it makes sense.:)
I actually ended up taking an external hard drive out of its casing and putting it inside the PC case via garden-variety SATA connection because I was tired of USB transfer speed or the lack thereof. Of course, I wasn't really using it portably anyway, and making it an internal hard drive also cut down on the "rat's nest".
(I understand that audio from whatever source would enable them to test the system internally) (Internal rather than public might avoid some infringement issues anyway*) * I am not a lawyer, etc.
Would it make sense for Google to publicly launch this without all of the Big Four on board? Sometimes with past developments, some of the big four have gotten on board before the others.
P.S. I wonder how Google's coming along with negotiating with the indies - they're likely to be more cooperative, but not necessarily, and it's simply a large volume to deal with at any rate.
that you've already paid for it and should have something like this to help you listen to it, without incident? that you don't listen to big-label stuff anyway?

I think incidental is the key word. for other such jobs, the lack of clothes is decidedly not incidental.

that describes quite the level of fanboyism - as powerful as sex. :P
http://kotaku.com/#!5384643/i-kept-playing--the-costs-of-my-gaming-addiction refers to a sadly extreme example of this.
P.S.
What do you think of "However, that which is sexually related can sometimes be used with class and artistic merit, sometimes not.", by the way?

A major issue in two-party systems...

might encourage adverts that are actually the opposite of the usual bothersome.
I credit copyleft (and open-source software licenses, et cetera) for taking IP law and steering it to different ends. :)
However, that which is sexually related can sometimes be used with class and artistic merit, sometimes not.
BTW, I read 'apple' as a description of the female figures' size/shape.

similarly, even though my bandwith isn't capped here in the US, low upload speed makes it a pain in the butt to work with web-based backup systems
