Teabagger? I'm not even American, and I don't have a vote in your country. It was an observation from an outside observer. However it's patently clear that in the US "political debate" has become name-calling. By all means, carry on. You get the governments you deserve.
No offense, but those dolphins probably cost millions to raise and train
You really don't understand how defense contracting works, do you? They cost millions to raise and train, and the government is billed for billions in "biological mine locator units (BMLU's)".
Crazy will make a change from the big spender. Another 1.2 trillion last week. 16 trillion and counting. It was less than 14 trillion when he took office.
Also, if you look at the sales of top albums now vs. 10-20 years ago they have decreased significantly.
Surely this is 100% due to piracy and not due to a completely different phenomenon called "the internet" giving people a choice of something else to do with their time other than a) watch TV or b) listen to music or c) hang out with friends.
Without copyright, the only way to get paid in the digital age is through draconian DRM and black box playback devices.
No, that doesn't stop piracy either. Perhaps the only way to get paid is by actually doing something worth getting paid for, like giving me a physical copy of a book, or a concert I can go to, etc. But throwing me in jail for downloading the movie that I missed last night when it was on my cable channel - well go to hell, you don't deserve to get paid, YOU are the one who deserves to get locked up.
You don't. You put a bullet in their brains. Hitler knew this. Stalin knew this. All great tyrants of the past, and all the little tyrants today (local drug dealers, political bosses etc) know this. But no, shoot a few people and suddenly the word "genocide" is screamed out, because our "civilized" culture is perfectly willing to make people suffer a long drawn out death out of sight through economic sanctions and incarceration, rather than a quick death via purges. So this is the price we pay - a nagging problem that just won't go away because the worst that can happen to these people is an all expenses paid room and board vacation in Cuba.
Bombing never works. When the routine bombing of civilian areas started in WW2, both sides thought it would demoralize the enemy. Both sides were wrong. Bombing only hardens their resolve. For example, look at 9-11. Did it demoralize the US? No, it hardened their resolve - to the point of changing the very nature of their society - for it not to happen again. Does bombing in Afghanistan fix things? No. Did bombing by Khaddafi stop the revolution? No. Did it stop the Lybian army? No. Long story short - bombing is only good for blowing stuff up. Anyone who talks about its effect on morale is trying to pull the wool over your eyes.
And how do you plan to crucify the patients who do not take the full course of antibiotics they are prescribed? As a doctor I just want to be sure you be fair to everyone under your tyrannical plan.
Having your car seized does not stop you from having to make payments. And before you argue insurance, read your policy especially the part where it says using the vehicle to commit an illegal act voids the policy.
Note the key words, "Google Kenya" - this is a branch office where some employee is taking a shortcut.
Doesn't matter. If some McDonalds somewhere in the world is serving people maggoty burgers, the parent company is going to want to know who and shut them down right away. There are certain responsibilities you get when you let other people use your name, specifically it's still up to you to protect your reputation by not making franchise agreements with arse-holes.
Please note that entertaining underwater when more than two (2) fish are present constitutes a public performance and you will be persecuted under appropriate copyright laws unless you pay the $2 million public performance fee.
Taken to the ER does not mean he was blinded. In fact if you follow up you will see that nothing happened to this pilot at all, other than strict compliance with recommendations from his union.
Thanks to international law, which in almost every country supercedes national laws. So more and more often you are seeing contraints being applied to countries in the form of international treaties as a sort of end run around a country's government (which can either vote for or against the whole treaty package and not bits of it).
Please give a single example of a copyright violation by "The Pirate Bay". Oh wait, you can't. You want to get into the whole argument of "facilitating copyright violation" then you might as well sue network, computer and storage equipment manufacturers, not to mention anyone who ever built and sold a set of speakers.

Considering that the Supreme Court already ruled that detainees in Gitmo have habeas corpus rights,
Yes. Now explain the fact that the government has completely ignored this ruling, as well as the ruling that Gitmo is illegal.
Every time you lie and claim that the US is just like Nazi Germany
Yeah, Nazi Germany in 1933 was exactly like Nazi Germany in 1945. There is only one constant "Nazi Germany".
Also, if you look at the sales of top albums now vs. 10-20 years ago they have decreased significantly.

The "little tyrants" are VERY specific in their killings. One informer dies and other people are reluctant to become informers.
Guess you've never heard of Cuidad Juarez.
You don't. You put a bullet in their brains. Hitler knew this. Stalin knew this. All great tyrants of the past, and all the little tyrants today (local drug dealers, political bosses etc) know this.

No, you're the guys pretending that "politically corect war" exists.

Or international law. Someone at one of several international organizations is bound to bring it up.
If you fail to drive properly you will lose that license.
Nah usually you are allowed a few mistakes (call it points). "Errare humanum est", and all that.
And how do you plan to crucify the patients who do not take the full course of antibiotics they are prescribed? As a doctor I just want to be sure you be fair to everyone under your tyrannical plan.
different politician or party
You don't get it. It's the whole machine that is corrupt. It doesn't matter which color you paint it.

You should learn about laser. It's expensive and it hurts like hell, but you only have to go for a few months and then you're done forever.

PS: Yes, I said persecuted not prosecuted.

If humans can be blinded by an off-the-shelf laser
You are confusing actual humans being blinded with overprotective laws made "out of an abundance of caution".
The very act of providing copyrighted material for download
You completely fail to understand how torrents work. No copyrighted material is available for downloading at The Pirate Bay. None.

Copyright violation isn't free speech

Eh no, a billion grams is a million kg - or 1000 tonnes. Even better.
