Your wasting your time. the very people you're speaking to are 90 percent of the people that should be banned from the internet for foul language, sexual deviance and dangerous views that, in my opinion, represent a serious threat to national security.
This is another example of the global fall from grace and general neglection of Christian values.
The amount of cursing here (eg cunt fuck piss wanker shitter motherfucker etc etc) is evidence alone of the moral slide that is purpetuated by the internet.
I for one hope that access to the Internet2 will be possible via carefully vetted and monitored ISPs, where users are held fully responsible by law for what they view, say and think.
I for one am tired of watching todays over sanitised news.
When a war breaks out people should see the slaughter - the true effects of a bomb on a populated area - the grief and mayhem caused by mass death and destruction.
When a murder is commited the grusome reality of it should be shown.
Failing to hammer home the effects of these events deadens peoples reactions to them, creates appathy, and thus, perpetuates the situation.
How often do news providers, in any format, decided not to carry a picture (usual obtained through great risk to the reporters and photographer/cameraman) claiming protection of public senseabilities? To often in my view.
Most internet news providers seem to be governed by the same politically correct (read politically manipulated) values as TV. The news delivery format may have chaneged but the bland and censured content remains the same.
Perhaps there's now room for a truely honest and un-tampered with news service through the reletively un-controlled content the web can offer?
If you're downloading mp3s for nothing - and someone produced and recorded the music with the intention of you paying to listen to it - then you ARE stealing it.
Except it and shut-up - don't try to justify it with pathetic pseudo cyber-hippy arguements like "big-corporations don't deserve our money 'cos they over charge us"!
I.T. has the some of the most inflated rates of any industry. I'm sure most of you are well familiar with the concept of over-charging!
And has it occured to anyone that in the end someone MUST pay - otherwise the system breaks down. People cannot persevere in any field without making money enough to live on.
If you're so bothered about having a new world where everything is free why not give up your job and go and live in a self sufficient commune, grow you own vegtables and sit in pig shit all day. I think you might miss your Coke, Pizza, Cable TV and other assorted luxuries provided to you by various "evil" corporations.
Or better still, do your current job for nothing because thats is basically what you expecting others to do!
Take permanent home internet connections.
And then add to this OnLine shopping, virtual sex, chat rooms, and OnLine Gaming... in a couple of years time nobody is ever going to need to leave the house so why would they need a coat?
You should live in the UK where we watch cool things trickle from Japan to the US then eventually arrive here (usually about a year later) at twice the fucking price they were in America six months ago!!!
Surely the majority of people who are likely to take up Linux are the same ones that seem to abhore AOL (as suggested from the content of 90% of the posting here)
I don't think Joe public really sees the need to switch to Linux because the relative merits would be lost on him. M$ (for all its many faults) runs his apps and he gets loads of support by way of the huge user base.
So AOL is on Linux - its also on M$ so why change?
Flame in indignant fury if you want but it won't change the fact the most PC/net users are NOT techies.
My point was that people buy it and therefore the record companies will not change the formula of this production intensive music until people stop buying.
You jumped on you high horse and started getting all high and mightly about "old peoples" music and people picking on poor old Britney Spears.
(I'm assuming this is the same person since you keep posting AC)
Since (as a Britney fan) you're probably only about 14 I guess this is to be expected.
You're not very good at arguing are you?
And why are you asking me if I'm not good at arguing? Making statements that are couched as questions is generally seen as a sign of lack of confidense.
You're definition of average bloke is presumably bound by the country that you live in. And I'd guess you're from the US or UK (or another Western country).
Try being yourself same average bloke in, for instance, an oppressive state like Burma, and see how much the government enjoy knowing what the "average bloke" is doing, and how much they relish the chance to know exacly what average things you're getting up to - so they can then make you their idea of average.
I say Burma but it could be any number of countries with oppresive regimes.
The music industry has no interest in offering "fresh air" they are concerned with churning out product "new and improved" so by me but basically what you had yesterday.
People buy it, therefore thats what they will continue to get until they stop...

Shut it you tart!
I'm an Englishman and virtually never suck men's cocks. And neither does my boyfriend.

I thought I had - but then found out that someone had already added it in 1972.
Its a shame really.
You can't beat hamsters - its illegal.
Most of my friends still refer to me as deefer.
This basically true - although I refer to him as deefer yet hate his guts...
Not forgetting Nasty Nick Bateman!
-UK joke.

Grow up!

this is ment to be a reply to the thread above this thread....curse my shaking hands and poor eyesight!
Ha ! Think yourself lucky.

Is this right?

You're comments are dangerously naive.
You've got a mullet... haven't you?
Touched a nerve did it?
FROM - desborough not IN desborough
you twat
You people REALLY need to get out more.
I wasn't whining.
I was stating a fact, which you just agreed with in a half-arsed sort of way.
That would account for the high death rate in the Country music arena.
I guess that Micheal Hutchins last moments were along similar lines!
Your wasting your time.

Call it the "eKids Challenge".
Kids these days love anything to do with e's!
