Not only that, but it is a government granted socialist monopoly entitlement program that allows its welfare recipients to decide how big their handout should be.
It is a tax because "copyright" is a government granted socialist monopoly entitlement program. Without government intervention, you have the natural right to copy anything and no one can stop you short of intimidation or physical intervention.
Rich doesn't have a single strong definition, the definition you are using belongs to the word "wealthy". They can be synonyms, but rich can also refer to the quality of ones standard of living, or ones level of income.
200k is upper middle class in the high rent cities, and in most of the US is it at the low end of upper class.
There isn't a city in the US where you can not live comfortably and accumulate wealth on 200k a year. Certain neighborhoods sure, but no one forces you to live in a McMansion.
My family used to live in rural Montana on practically no income. Yes. Hunting for food was a necessity, as was cutting our own firewood, rebuilding the house ourselves, gleaning commercial vegetable fields after the combine harvesters and making bread from hogs feed because flour and grain meant for humans cost 10 times more.
You are also forgetting one more reason people want to own guns in the US. Tradition and cultural identity. If you defend the right to wear a hajib, turban or kilt, you should also defend the right to bare arms.
I've known about them for years before max Payne. I know that Taurus isn't exactly the highest quality brand out there.
You do not always have the option to carry a long shotgun with you for both practical and legal reasons. You definitely don't want to be walking around with a short shotgun for legal reasons. But you still may need a self defense weapon if you are out in brush/swamp, and for that the judge is more effective than just about anything else you can carry. I would definitely prefer it over conventional pistol when faced with a snake and prefer it over a.410 shotgun if faces with an aggressive wild dog.
Even if some paperwork obviously got mixed up (you have 5 running copies and 5 licenses, but one of the running copies has the wrong serial number) you get charged.
Even if the licenses were known to have been destroyed in a fire or flood, you get charged.
If you were to increase software sales by 10% for an equal reduction in piracy, you would be causing billions of dollars of HARM to the economy because those former pirates would experience no increase in value in the software they have and now have fewer resources to spend elsewhere.
Piracy does cause some harm to the software/entertainment industry, but it does so by enriching the greater economy by creating a net gain in value when you consider the big picture.
Their argument is fundamentally flawed in ways far beyond the fact that they are making up random numbers.
Sorry, use of non standard punctuation convention that is less well known than I had thought.
Use of a question mark after a statement/fact that is clearly not a question indicates confusion and requests an explanation in light of that statement/fact.
It is a translation of the usage of a quizzical expression from face to face communication to text.
And that is one way you can monetize diaspora. Create and sell a pre-configured micro-server that you can just plug into the wall and run 24/7 with a couple watts of power. Something like a sheeva plug or beagleboard.

You need a better wife. She should be maximizing that video and demonstrate the right way to perform the technique.

You are aware that a nutria rat can grow to 3 feet long and weigh over 30 lbs? Right?
Are you asking the possum? or the person cooking it?
That is a good reason to keep a multi-purpose gun around.
The Taurus Judge is a .45 revolver an extra long cylinder that can fit .410 shot rounds as well as conventional .45 slugs.
The shot shell is fine for killing snakes, rats and other varmint at close range, and .45 works well on larger predators.
It won't have the range or penetration of the .223 but neither of those is particularly important for defense under most circumstances.
The New Orleans Police Department sniper team get real life target practice by trolling the streets at night and shooting nutria rats with a .22 rifle.
Sorry, They all voted Ron Paul.
greed. Yes, it costs me 5 cents to view a text message that I have received.

randomize the location of the numbers to even wear and make location based tracking useless.

it has 2 webcams built in?
No. It is only 1. The last digit of any binary mantissa will always be 1.
It is 1 in binary.
