I have tried and tried to defend you and get you to see just how idiotic you all are. I've attempted to defend your right to pirate and your right to defend your opinions. However, I believed in the Constitution wholeheartedly. I had believed the good in all, even the lousiest men. However, time and again, you have shown only the dark, ugly side of you, beginning with the war on Rebecca Black's Friday. You all make me ashamed to be an American right now, letting the government seduce you into thinking that guns are bad simply because one maniac decided to let loose on an elementary school.
Removing guns will not solve anything, in fact it will cause more problems. Our will is slowly being drained as they try to pass more and more laws restricting our freedoms, taking away our pride, and eventually turning us into slaves. I came from the 1990s, the final decade where we didn't let government tell us what to do, we all had individual thoughts and cared for the whole rather than ourselves
The internet, while a fantastic tool, has only reinforced the point I have been trying to make. It has made us less unique and forced us to think like a bee hive - all the same thoughts and act in the same way. What happened to being different? Right, being different means you are either gay, a Nazi, or pathetic. Well, call me all those names, but I'm through sticking up for this sorry-ass country I live in. It sickens me to admit I actually tried to defend you and the Constitution.
Now that gun owners are being tracked, it tells me that the final stages are being put forth along with our loss of ownership over photos. Good job, America, you've screwed yourself on all levels. Would you like to be chain and whipped or held in concentration camps while your so-called "government" protects you?
I know you're trying to make a point, but the situation isn't really comparable. For one, pirates do not claim ownership over the content, and secondly, pirates can't legally make money out of it whereas when a company imposes a ToS - change like this on its userbase they actually CAN then legally make money out of your content. That makes the whole premise of the situation quite different, with pirates mostly focusing on consuming the content themselves, and companies focusing on monetizing the content.
And that is the reason I'm indifferent to pirates. I may not like them, but they are a necessary evil in this day and age.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I freaking called it! Sue all you want, you agreed to it, so you have to eat it. Oh, I'm extremely glad I don't have Instagram (Hugs Photobucket). I'm deeply sorry for the rest of you that decided to stick with them. Mark me as a troll or flamebait, I freaking called it and posted in the article that that this would happen.

Now, let's talk about WDCWYTWPIA, We Don't Care What You Think, We Are Passing It Anyway which allows no term-limit on copyright, and massive fines on everyone, even if they only use a site that holds the copyrighted material. With the twinkies gone and the looming fiscal cliff, The American Public now doesn't have the willpower to stop us, so nyeh!
Because it's not like we have a hundred other agencies already watching over us to make sure we're not doing anything illegal. (Cough, HackNSA FBI CIA TSA CTU cough hack)

I know. There's a Lego store by us but a small 1 lb bag of bricks is like $15

The irony is that Minecraft is lego, but they just released a Minecraft lego set.
I don't think I want to pay for it or even want to pirate it. It feels like some Direct-to-Video movie, only so much crappier. I don't even want to give it a try.
Funny you should say that. Me and my two older brothers had to actually ask an attendant how to close the applications while we were looking at monitors. They were looking at them when I saw a computer running it. I thought, let's see how well win8 stands up. I played around and knew nothing of what I was doing. I asked my brothers to help. They are far more technologically capable that I will ever be and even they couldn't figure it out. My oldest brother, 33, grew up with every piece of computer tech you could imagine. Even he couldn't figure it out.
We're not behind the times, we just blatantly choose to stick to our archaic laws because we think they are safer.
On a side note, why is every word I type being underlined as mispelled?

So says the AC. If you really believed in that, show your face.
Those copyrights are BS and you know it. Life + 45? WTH!?
And nice going AC because you don't want to lose your karma.

Thank you good sir.

Seems to explain that Secret Service fiasco that happened a while back with them at the strip club.
I never AC because I'm boss like that and I don't care what the rest of you dunderheads think.
Yes. Oh my, whatever shall he do? Perhaps God will allow him to come down long enough to finish his payments...If only that were true T_T
Archaic laws make for archaic thinking.

You got me, I'm about as technologically literate as Obama is good at running a country.
Fixed. It seems that Windows was holding my spellchecker hostage until I updated.
One more reason I'm glad I got rid of my account. Facebook, your time is nigh.
English. I'm using opera if that helps.

Now I know why I have the urge to punch stupid people in the face.
Yeahhhh, I probably should have realized that one.
