    A "socialist agenda?" Oh Jesus Christ. Who let the birther idiot on SlashDot? Anyone got his home address?

    IP law in general is fine. The chances that an "individual artist" in the United States could be protected by it, pretty laughable-- good luck getting an IP lawyer to talk to you if you weren't frat brothers or you're not paying him $350/hr.

    IP law today has been manipulated by the major corps/RIAA/MPAA for their own ends, to the exclusion of other interests. If it is inherently "a compromise," as Samuelson puts it, then it is a compromise that has failed.

    Of course, the thread-starter's whiny "we can't do anything" BS is more annoying than you birther freaks. Of course you can do something in a democracy; be politically active instead of having your head in the sand of your own self-interest. But that takes effort, and liberal kids want their cake handed to them on a silver platter.

    You, sir, are a fucking idiot. A fucking idiot who can spew a lot of academic-sounding verbiage, but a fucking idiot.

    I don't need to have hours of nitpicking discussion about what is and isn't a murder, followed by your ridiculous home break-in axe murderer bullshit scenario, to realize that a situation with guns involved more often escalates to death, than one with knives or sticks and stones, and that gunshot wounds more often, by their nature, create fatal injuries.

    To wit:

    Yes, you can question the "reliability" of the underlying methods to hell freezes over. But that chart doesn't include the 40,000 plus deaths per year, that occur because your so called "freedom" results in children shooting other children in the US.

    Think of it this way. If I had a gun, and you were standing in front of me, I'd be sorely tempted to use it to put you out of my misery-- that's my freedom. Are you saying you'd like someone to "restrict" it?

    Yeah right. You're logically inconsistent blather.

    "Got a credit problem? Sell your childrens' flesh to solve it. That's the basic idea behind the America Eats The Poor Act, renewed by Congress this week.

Eating poor children has an excellent track record of accelerating competitiveness and combating overpopulation by eliminating America's stupid, fat losers before they grow up."

    Wear -colored belo underwear below the white blouses. In addition, we recommend if possible not to conceal the neck. Traces of make-up on collars are bad.
