I think that most likely it would depend on the type of job they are hiring you for. If you get a company credit card and sign off on purchases made, sure then it's a valid concern. after all, they don't want you personally using their credit line. But if you don't sign off purchases and whatnot, then fuck 'em.
Not only should this lighting system be excellent, I always had problems with the size of the GBA... the Lynx or the Game Gear I thought were too big as well. I loved the original Game Boy, but haven't bought the others, well, because they weren't too handheld for me. they seemed a little more hands-held. I know, it's nit-picky, but I'm definitely waiting for this to come out. Nintendo is back, baby! (I went all anti-nintendo for a few years back. PS2 v. 64 conflict era)
most of the people that I know that were in their 20's in the 70's are the very reason why people that are in their 20's now originally saw the movies to begin with. My parents aren't even geeks and they have nothing but praise for the Holy Trilogy. As a matter of fact, while having Threepio and R2D2 for the kiddies, I think the feel of the original three were much more grown-up. These new ones are kind of dumbed down. I feel like I would have to say I *would* enjoy my first viewing of the movies now just as much even though I'm older.
what about the poorest 20% who make 15% of taxable income and pay 30% of the taxes. The rich have the ability to pay more, and benefit the most from government action. Black men get stopped while driving through upper-class rich Beverly-Hillsy neighborhoods, while criminals run amok in areas akin to Harlem. If 1% of citizens benefit from 50% of the service, shouldn't they pay for 50% of the service and the other 99% pay the other 50% accordingly?
popular music may be defined as what most people listen to, but what you're forgetting is that the radio stations, music industry, mtv, etc, try to decide what you will hear/like for you. try picking up a cd that you've never heard of [not necessarily a local one] at a little record store in your home town. you'll be surprised- while you might get crap sometimes, noone gets a record deal for no reason and a lot of times you will really like music that noone else has heard of or will ever. Not to say that you need to pick up an alternative artist- there are plenty of pop artists out there that don't get played on the radio. Next time you are listening to the radio sit down and count how many different bands you hear in an hour. not likely to be many.
2 years is actually a very big difference for one who is 12-14... it's about 1/6 - 1/7 of their total life thus far. Sure, to an overweight, overbearing, child molesting 70 year old [such as yourself], two years is only about enough time for you to finish your coffee at mcdonald's, but you are mistaken in saying it isn't much earlier.
There have also been many documented cases of recent history in which children around the ages of 7-10 have hit puberty. I went to middle school with a girl that had a baby in 5th grade. Don't talk about what you don't know. and when you take an average, you're forgetting about late bloomers. some people don't get pubic hair until their in their junior/senior year in high school, sometimes even college. Moron.
you ignorant piece of cow dung. the sales tax is payed by the customer, but on top of that, company's pay income taxes as well. along with many other tax. You don't think they pay taxes on their biuldings, their investments, their equipment? you know nothing of economics and don't try to claim that you're an accountant. We all know you're a liar and spreader of filth.
I sincerely doubt that this man is a psychologist. In another post he speaks of sitting on a board for computer related jobs. He talks with the knowlegde of hiring those with degrees in the computer field and how they can't really do what they say they can. Now I know less about this guy than i do about Adam, but I can honestly say that somewhere this guy is lying and is not to be trusted. That's all.
"Nor would any serious psychologist buy an explanation involving a genetic predisposition."
Most psychologists, board certified and otherwise, do adhere to the fact that many "un-normal" activities are, at least in part, due to genetic predisposition. For instance, alcoholics, rapists, child molesters [as well as the long list of many types of sexual abusers], and all sorts of addicts have been shown to have genetic predisposition for these things. Show me a family with 1 or 2 alcoholics, and i'll show you 2 or more alcoholics from the same direct family lineage. Same with rapists or abusers. Physical abuse as well. I would not be surprised in the least if you showed me a pedophile, that we could find more, if only "closet", pedophiles in that person's direct lineage.
And the reason it isn't mimicked by any mammal alive is due to the fact that we have such things as language, the ability to reason, much more complex neurological models- which tend to screw up more often. These psychosis we see on the news every day are akin to the blue screen of death that we see in windows every day. you don't get a blue screen of death in TI Basic do you? that's probably about where primates fit into the picture.
Something you and I both forgot about my original post-
"And if you don't like the band enough to buy their album fine, download it."
I don't have a problem really with people downloading songs they enjoy. In fact that's what gets me to buy the album, that I hear a good number of songs from that band; I am merely pleading that everyone who refuses to buy something stop masquerading as a fan. You were upfront about it, you said you weren't. A lot of times however, we see people who claim to be the biggest U2 fan in the world that have never even bought a greatest hits cd. It's a crock.
This is exactly why the industry *sells* their material. The low quality versions [i.e. radio, low quality snippets of songs on the webpage] are meant as freebies/enticers. Your paying for the quality, the production, as well as the artists' hard work in writing, playing, and singing song that mean something to them.
"I'm not a 'fan' with an aspiration to suck artistic cock as if it were some sort of ethical imperative; I'm a customer. I decide what I want and what I don't want; what the band wants, and what you want, doesn't mean jack in this context."
You're right it's not about what I want. And it's not about what the band wants. It's about giving respect to those who perform. That's all it is. And wanting the cover art doesn't mean you're "sucking artistic cock"; it simply means you really enjoy the whole experience that the artist has put out there for you. And if you do, as you noted in the beggining, download all songs of a cd and then pick and choose what you like, you are by no means a "customer"; it's called ravaging/scavenging. It's what rats and flies do. It's the lowest form of consuming.
"I want to be sold single tracks because most bands do one or two or three good songs, and really suck."
And when the industry decides to sell songs track by track, how will you decide which ones you like? If anything you will continue to download for free and then discard ones you don't like rather than buying the ones you do.
"But really, fuck the band. They aren't a religion"..."They don't deserve any special consideration regardless of what their fans think."
First of all, religion is bullshit. I don't give near as much respect to religion as i do to a band that I think is genuinely trying to say something creative. Second of all, why are you listening to their music if you're not a fan? If you enjoy their music, even just some of it, by most standards you would be considered a fan. And people that put their heart and soul on albums and display it for the world to toy with do deserve some respect. Have you done anything of that magnitude with your life? Probably not. You probably sit in your room, on the computer, alone, thinking of ways to debunk ideas and morals that you consider mainstream, or god forbid, "popular". I know, I used to be just like you.
The only problem is that for every so called justification that you give yourself, you can't help but try and hide the fact that you and you're peers are hypocrites. Every programmer, computer technician, scientist, that i've ever talked to wants recognition for what they do. If you write an amazing OS that is then taken by a large company and sold to millions, and you didn't get the recognition you deserved, you'd be pissed and sue. It's the same story with the artists. Sure, we all hate the RIAA; we all hate the radio; we all hate the fact that the really good underground artists are so hard to find; we all hate the fact that cd's are overpriced and so many people not involved in the creative process get their hands on large chunks of the money before the bands see any of it, but to completely reject the fact that bands deserve to get paid for their material is ignorant.
Rather than fighting for free music on the internet, we should fight for a change in policy of the recording industry. Fewer people involved, a little more for the bands that deserve it, less managerial and production "expenses/fees", and an overall lower cost of a cd. Truly, recording artists get pennies on the cd, and many make a lot of money. So why aren't executives happy with pennies on the cd? I don't see a reason why a cd can't cost five dollars. It's because of greed. And that is at the source of why you want all the free music. Greed. You can't bear to part with a few bucks for the cd; good, either listen to it on the radio, in a friends car, or don't listen to it. But don't cop-out and download all this shit, causing more greed on the side of the RIAA, and greater and greater cost of a cd for those of us that actually want the cd. Hell, I'd be happy to let you borrow something out of my collection, but two wrongs don't make it right.
a lot of people on here bitch that they want to just buy songs they like rather than the entire album. Now how do you know you like these songs before you buy the album? you here what they have released on the radio- what the music industry decides they want you to like. I don't see how [esp./.'ers] anyone can put up with that. but anyway, you just want to buy what you have heard on the radio and like. Well, isn't that kind of closed minded? you're not willing to listen to the rest of the artists' music? Also, albums most times aren't just a selection of songs thrown together. The sons deal with the same period of time, the same emotions, the same feelings that the band had been going through at that point. Take Pinkerton from weezer. I'm sure Cuomo had a lot more songs in his repetoire at that point, but chose these songs for a reason. The entire album can be an artform, not just the individual song.
Ask anyone who makes a lot of mix cd's and takes pride in them. It's not just what songs are on your cd, but the mood they put you in, how they relate to eachother, etc. Noone wants a bunch of cd's that they're going to listen to one or two tracks and skip around a bit, then switch it for another one.
Pink Floyd's The Wall is an excellent example of a well written *album*. The entire album deals with the same subject, has the same moods, more or less, and conveys the same message. Most people [if they don't despise Pink Floyd] can sit down and listen to this entire album without having to complain. Some can even listen multiple times in a row.
Rubber Soul from the Beatles is another great example. Another would be Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death from the Dead Kennedys. As well is Clarity from Jimmy Eat World. Or Mer de Nom from A Perfect Circle. Or Clumsy from Our Lady Peace. The trick is to find a band that is trying to make a good album, not just a couple hit songs.
Basically, people make albums for a reason. If you don't like albums, then you can pick up singles or listen to the radio. If that isn't good enough for you, then you obviously want the entire album. And if you don't like the band enough to buy their album fine, download it. But if you claim to be a fan of a band and all you have are mp3's and you haven't helped to support them in any way shape or form for their art [yes they do get a little money from cd purchases], i don't want to hear you claim to be a fan of them. If you truly were a fan, let alone supporting them, you'd want to have their Cover Art, the actual cd, maybe even Vinyl. Don't tell me that having a burnt cd is the same thing because it's not. I have thousands of mp3's, but I own 75% of them on cd or vinyl anyway. Why? because I like the band.
The Vatican City is also as small as a tiny Kentucky town... And everyone there is not in the business of oppressing eachother- but oppressing those throughout the world. You are looking at what amounts to taking the top 10 floors of a companies high rise building [all executives; CEO's, VP's, and the like] and saying that none of the employees in the company are unhappy or need something more. This is not a logical statement. I myself was raised Catholic and have a distaste for many Catholic doctrines past and present. I know many Catholics that do as well. I bet that you're just some protestant american though who just looks for anything to perpetuate that religion is good for all, and know little to less of the Roman Catholic religion.
'Come back and post when you get a little older, and have experienced the world.'
If you can be 35 and president... 28 is probably a pretty good age to have experienced the world. A majority of people are married and have kids by 28. Your post doesn't make any sense.
'dinner - The chief meal of the day,'
The reality is that dinner and supper are used popularly as synonyms. The difference in which one you use comes from your environment... the area you grew up in, your relatives, where you live now, etc. That is this 'young' man's point.
'its real cute to follow a fringe polity when you are a kid and don't have a responsibility to others.'
Anarchy is completely about responsibility to others. Without everyones complete support and responsibility to others, anarchy would not work- there is no governing official to put people to jail or death for doing something immoral. And it's not about being 'cute'. When you are young and idealistic you see things you want to change, and in order to do so join radical movements and protest. They may or may not change something, but at least they try. If you were never young and idealistic, there is no way that you would understand this because you probably grew up with right wing ideologies and inherently disagree with leftists. If you were, then you're a sell-out now and you should try and remember how important it was to you back in the day when you went on civil-rights walks or protested the Viet-Nahm war, or worked on campaign finance reform...
And that definition of race... where did you get it? How many times does a general word have a specific definition.. let's think... i look up race- humans considered as a group is one of the definitions... hmm. Wouldn't that be under Human race??? did you ever look up cartoon and get 'japanese animation as a group'??? no. because that's not the definition.
But the main argument here is that what is moral to one group is not to another. Look at Texas vs. California... it is moral in texas to use the death penalty, but not in California. It is as simple as that. morality is not a black or white definite answer. and if you never question your own moralities there is something wrong with you.
How can you say that '"potential" abuses don't count'? A law that is abusive that is on the books is still merely potential. It is up to the enforcement to actually exercise this. When the enforcement gets around to stretching the limits of this bill, you watch and see what happens.
You can "potentially" be arrested in Lexington, Kentucky for having an ice cream cone in your pocket... However, you will not, because noone enforces this silly law. There are many like this, where something is illegal, but the abuse of it is only potential. Your point is basically uneducated garbage.
obviously he's referring to the possibility that someone hacked this sports news site to say something it shouldn't have... c'mon people. Friends don't let drunk friends moderate.
