not to be an ass...well yes, actually that is why im doing it, but, devil's advocate time cause i see a lot of hyperbole and little content!
"It is also a scientifically proven fact that authority WILL be abused."
where? by whom? show me the study.
"If this were 1820, would you be arguing for the property rights of the slave owner? Would you not condemn people if you witness them abusing an animal?"
burn straw man! burn!
"it's only because it's convenient for you to believe propaganda at this point, for whatever reason."
now you're telling the witness what he actually saw.
Some of the best wind in teh country is through the great plains. Particularly here in Oklahoma and also up North Dakota where I've also spent time. And in both areas people have tried to come in, say we'll pay you to put wind turbines on your land (standard easement lease type stuff liek cell towers get). and while individual owners may be ok with it, the communities as a whoel have tended to jump up and say NO! NIMBY! EYE SORE! PROPERTY VALUES! etc.
That's the single biggest thing stopping lots of good cheap wind power: people. "We want clean energy! Just NIMBY, even though its the best place for it"
Bad teacher! How dare you deviate from the script we have given you! You aren't supposed to innovate and teach beyond what we gave you! Bad teacher! You'll be replaced at the end of the year with a proper drone and the children recycled to recieve proper rote training in how to pass tests.
mean the little proximity things? never owned one. and the stories of thieves just snatching out of your hand or shoving you into the car and taking off amuse me. but lotta cars still dont have em, like me wifes new (to us) 2009 jeep. still bypassable from all that i ever read about em. after all, shit happens and you gotta be able to start it somehow. and that knowledge spreads. its not some miracle tech.
and define worth it? whats the worth is taking time to stop something that simply isnt going to happen? like said, i got a barely functioning lock, and i dont go places where theft is even an issue. mostly only ever sits at home or in the lot on base. no one's gonna steal it in either place. and theres nothing valuable in the car, and car itself not valuable. sure when i go down to a particular area of town, i lock it. but that's rare, and the blanket statement simply isnt true.
and speaking of software library...will it have backwards compatibility? that's my main concern. i got a decent wii library, and a few gamecube games still since the wii could play them too. i bought a ps3 first gen after the fact specifically for its ps1 and ps2 compatibilty. sometimes they're nice and rerelease games, but lot of times they aren't.
Why I rarely bother to lock my car. Granted its an older model. Truth is, ya, a determined theif will steal the car about as quickly as I can unlock the door and start it normally with the key. Most people aren't so motivated, and governed by basic morals. As long as the key isnt in the car, and there's nothing worth stealing in the car, and I'm in a reasonably low crime area, the car is gonna be fine in all likelihood. Just as well since hte lock has started acting finicky about 6 months ago. I really need to take it apart and degrime it with some WD or something.
evil is evil. somehow their genocide is less evil because they werent trying to convert people? just like somehow murder is more murdery if its racially motivated?
evil is evil is evil is evil is evil is evil. the reasoning doesn't matter.
lus you contradict yourself when you say that in one sentence, and then follow it with "they wanted them to worship the state not god"....that IS forced conversion.
well if you're gonna be asinine and not read the post i replied to, i've never seen the jews and christians murder people because of a film with Muhammad in it, either.
Nearly 10k per song is just dumb. If a CD is 12 tracks and costs ~15 bucks, its a bit over $1 per song. So this is a 1000000% penalty. one million percent. Just insane, no way that isnt unconstitutional.
The fines should be like 200, maybe 300% penalty, maybe even 1000% (10x). That's reasonable. The punishment must fit the crime and all that.
Should all fan fiction be NYT Bestseller List worthy? All fan art worthy of the Louvre, instead of something that looks like it belongs on my fridge? I cringe to think of what you say about your kid's macaroni art family portrait.....
So why do amatuers making a fan film have to display a professional hollywood level of expertise?
The whole point is its a labor of love from people who love the topic, regardless of their expertise. It had meaning to them, as well as to (hopefully) other fans who can also appreciate it for what it is. I'm not conflating anything. You are however very confused.
So being more educated makes you more likely to not just accept what you are told but to question it and seek your own answers? And that's a bad thing? But being liberal makes you more likely to just accept what your told, even with an education?
How I love being devils advocate and having fun with sketchy conclusions. You're an idiot.
Suck with money? You need a reality check cause you are leading a damn blessed life so far and should count yourself lucky. You really do not appreciate how good you have had it.
grew up poor. Joined military, pissed away all my money like most young 5 and out military kids. Used GI Bill for college while working. But still not enough so we got student loans. welcome to the in debt life style. in the middle of that there was the car dying, not repairable, so car loan for a used car. more debt. credit card bills. emergency medical stuff you dont need to know about bills. not getting a job after graduation cause graduated in the middle of the recession. Get married and add wife's debt to your own.
Life happens. You've just beeen lucky that it hasnt happened to you yet.
your financial situation isnt everyones, so stop epeening your money situation around. I make twice as much as you. I still think $300 is a lot of money cause my budget cannot spare it. but then I probably also have 3x or 4x the bills you do. so take your "insightful" mod and stick back in your pants.

now. as to the $300 itself, think of it as a real estate investment, cause a home with google fiber (or any fiber) access is obviously going to have a huge advatange on the home market vs houses without it.

That's just one more reason why I say vote every single MFer in that building out.
Every.
Single.

shieldtroll AC'ing his own comment.
you realize that the atheists and politicians are doing this same type of crap, right?
Evil is evil and needs no particular reasoning to justify itself, religious, political, financial, or otherwise.
my thoughts exactly.
daddy want. daddy likey.

Yes. Amateurish.
Almost like it was being done by fans who are not professional film makers.
What do they call those? Oh ya...amatuers.
I said my shades, not his. Mine are green, with purple stripes on the lenses. Got em at Walmart.

Oh yea. Salon. A totally unbiased source there. Like asking Pravda what it thinks about Communism.
That's total bullshit.
