If the Axis had won you wouldn't be concerned with who was writing history -- you'd most likely be dead or never born, and the world would be an unimaginably horrifying place.
Good thing The Good Guys won or else there would be horrible things happening to innocent people every day!
I totally agree dude, they should really get some sort of public figure in that building, someone people would recognize who can speak on behalf of the executive branch.
With all of the problem that we are facing in the United States, how does this even make it into to the top 100?
If you're dismissing this because it's about copyright, you should take another look. Copyright infringement is a problem, but why does the government need to WIRETAP people about it? What the fuck are they listening for? "Yeah bro I totally streamed that show online last night"??? It's also worth noting that this law would make most of the country into felons (i.e. people who can't vote)
The point you made earlier was that prices aren't really a factor in piracy. ElectricTurtle gave the example of iTunes and Amazon, which are very successful at selling music for cheap. I'll go ahead and add to Turtle's anecdote: I've almost completely stopped pirating music because of services like that. The only time I hit up the P2P is when I can't find it legitimately.
Why are you so hostile to someone replying, anyway? For all the time you spent banging out that bile you could've taken a moment to clarify what your point was, since you believe it "whooshed" over their head.
You don't want to get pregnant, then DON'T FUCK. I choose not to have sex because I don't want a baby. At the very least there is something called "birth control" that when used properly (i.e. not in a drunken horny state) works quite effectively. Don't whine and moan and kill a baby because you decided after the fact that you screwed up.
So basically you're saying that retirees, public employees, and small companies are held hostage by a bunch of easily startled babies. If we don't cave to their demands, they'll sell everything they have and run off with the money while we slide into a recession/depression. Fuck us, they got theirs.
It doesn't matter that those weren't his objectives. My point was that through a single event he managed to drastically alter America and to say that he "lost" because we're still in the Middle East is just pedantic.
Bin Laden? He hasn't won - he wanted us out of the Middle East, only to INCREASE our involvement.
We're afraid of Halal food. We protest the construction of new mosques anywhere they're built. Public figures have openly discussed "freedom of religion -- except for THEM". Americans are absolutely terrified of Islam and to say that OBL didn't win because we're still in the Middle East is just silly, he achieved all these results with just ONE successful coordinated attack. 19 hijackers with boxcutters have had more direct influence over Congress than hundreds of thousands of protesters right in D.C.

I expected someone who would listen to the people instead of the will of large corps. I was wrong.
Actually you were right. Corporations are people now, remember?
Try voting with your mind instead of your emotions.
Yeah, we're just not putting the right person in the White House. Keep trying!!!

why not libraries - at least they target generally lower-income people.
So do the missiles. Let's eliminate waste by cutting those redundant libraries!

This post is almost as bitter as the pill.
If I had a girlfriend though, I would want her to be Japanese. I would love to come home and see her dressed as a maid or in cat ears...
This post really made me laugh for some reason

They can do it after the end of the month too, they just have to keep it *extra super-duper secret*
If you don't want to be a political prisoner don't talk bad about your government. You don't have to live here.
Let's pray it happens.
