    That seems to be a talking point for some zealots now.

    I could have swore they failed because they did an exclusivity agreement with Microsoft.

    After the massive layoff of Balmer, which I was a part of, they immediatly went out and hired practially the same amount of people. It was just a trick to get investors thinking they were actually shrinking the employees.

    You mean the most expensive to let go because they cost less than a normal US citizen with those skills because they pay them below the market rate right?

    No, it is a economical thinking that there are external costs and profits.

    Well if you "hardly ever buy films" and you were not planning to buy the film that you downloaded then it does not actually harm someone. Now if you share it that could be a different story. Not saying it makes it right, but the studios saying they are losing billions because people who would not have bought the film anyways downloaded it is nonsense.

    That is not even comparable... Movies are not inventions, they are works of art. In fact every movie you watch now has already been created with some of the elements different, different actors, different scene and the like. Who here has not seen a crappy movie before but went to see the remake/reboot because they love that genre, or even character.

    With a physical invention if you buy a cheap knock off and it does poorly then you assume that the actual product is bad, but with movies, say seeing Atlantic Rim, does not mean that Pacific Rim is just as bad

    there is also an expectation that pirated movies will be of lower quality then the unpirated movie.

    More likely they will fire the flight controller for recording them.

  9. Because the police did not have to get so close to investigate.... It is like cops can be charged with reckless endangerment if they cause issues in a chase if it is determined they should not have been doing what they should have been doing. There is supposed to be a reasonableness to their actions.

    So Russians money is not money? No other country has money because congress is the only people that can make money? Of course the contitution does NOT say that only congress has that ability, just that they are able to coin money.

    Article 1, section 8 .... To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures; ....

    Now if you can tell me where in that line it says that ONLY congress is able to make money I will bow down to your constitutional knowledge.

    That is not what taqiyya is. It allows them to lie if they are under threat, not if it will just advance their cause. And it is only in some denominations, not all.

    Just because they did not want the government to have religion in it, does not mean they themselves did not believe and mind it being opened with a prayer.. Also I like how you highlighted "their Creator", which leaves it up to each individual as to who their creator is, and not Lord Almighty.

    That was bs justifications. You dont need to give corporations 4th amendment rights to protect people, because the people individually have those rights for example.

    You really have a weak understanding of Islam, our country, and it seems your own God as well. All of those things you listed could be said of most of the popular religions in our country. Also our nation is not founded as a theocracy so your religious objections due to your belief in Christianity has no merits.

    I like how you condemned him without evidence of those "skeletons". If the court does its job properly they will weigh the evidence and not just smack him down because you want them to.
