Perhaps you should look up the definitions of bigot and homophobe.
As for being a malcontent, I would think that term applies more to those who ACTIVELY try to suppress those with whom they disagree, like the boy scouts... rather than those who merely express their opinion.
Where did he say they don't have the right to exclude gays? Where did he say they had to be forced to include gays? HE DIDN'T.
All he did is to point out that they are a group of bigoted, homophobic assholes. They have the RIGHT to be bigoted hompophobic assholes, and he has the right to point to them and say "Hey look! A bunch of bigoted homophobic assholes!"
Why are YOU to impose your beliefs on the parent poster and tell him he has no right to point out that he thinks a group is doing something he considers immoral?
He is not a hypocrite - the boy scouts are saying homosexuality is bad, the parent poster is saying the boy scouts are bad. You, on the other hand, are implying not just that the parent posters beliefs are bad in your opinion, but that he has no right to express them... the irony and hypocricy of your own statement clearly eludes you.
He made the sick, twisted, perverted mistake of living in the wrong state, I guess.
Here in NY, if you're 18 and have sex with your 17 y/o GF, you are just a person in a relationship. In another state, you would be a dangerous, mentally ill felon who needs to be monitored for life.
There was no option on the page I went to to download it.
Part of the problem may have been that I downloaded it through firefox's "get plugin" prompt.
I downloaded it and I specifically looked for an option to NOT install itunes, since I knew it would be installed.
The installation not only didn't give a way to not install itunes, it didnt even mention that itunes would be installed or that it was included... so I felt like "good!"
Then afterward I found that it had installed itunes. They may have changed this in later versions, but I was given no way to opt out. I am the go-to guy for getting rid of viruses and spyware, etc... in my area, so I would NOT miss a way to opt out if it were given to me.
seems to me its been turned into suckware. Slow to launch, fulla nags to upgrade, interface not as good as others, and installs Itunes too when you install it. (I do NOT want friggin Itunes!)
VLC is all I need, plays damned near anything, small footprint, no annoying features.

An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.
It really bugs me when people spout out about what's capitalism and what's socialism and they don't even know what the hell they are talking about.
For me it was just after having finally finished the original Myst.
I had spent days on it, and finally finished, looked around the room and realized I was sitting alone in my dad's messy basement while my friends were out having a good time, partying and having sex with real live girls.
That moment changed me forever.

Reading the comments here is very illustrative. It shows how insidious this crap is...
The article explains how the "suits are back in" is a fake story designed to cause buzz and a possibly false impression, in order to generate more sales for the client.
So what do the/. sheep start baaaaaing about? "Suits are back in?" "Yeah, they never left!" "Hey, whattaya know, suits are back in!" "Yep, suits get you hired!"
Pathetic.
For the record, I too have had some background with advertising and PR and its disgusting.
Maybe he DID do all of these things (no, I didn't RTFA)
I mean, when the SS knocks on your door at 3 AM and demands all of your seditious documents, they won't go away if you say to them "sorry, I don't have any."
Not really. I never bothered with those in bad condition. And the bottom line is I was getting some books I could sell for maybe two bucks each, but also many I was selling for around $30 each... and the very best, hundreds of them, I have still saved that are worth over $100 each. All for virtually nothing.
Much better than some Bridget Jones book. And even if others couldn't be as lucky as I was, still even a $2 sale for a ten cent purchase is a better profit margin than even Apple has.

Just shows how dumb and lazy most criminals are.
I sold books on Amazon until 2 years ago, and I was able to get great stuff for virtually nothing jusst be forging ties at the library and getting their discards - plus buying cheaply from other sources.
I never paid more than about ten cents per book. Is saving a dime worth going to jail for? (not to mention the moral compromise involved in stealing.)

So when you complain that someone else is screwing you over, they get to peg you as a whiner, and they win either way.
I repeat - that's just how they wanted it, and it worked.
You do realize that Bush was the first to file a lawsuit over the FLorida election results, don't you?
You don't realize it? Well, that's just how they wanted it, and it worked.

But the you that's already there would probably get pissed at you for trying to lay claim to his money.

No, it doesn't. I discovered a strange fluke and possible flaw in Pagerank, submitted it here, and it was rejected.
Well, my Vectrex, which is still in the basement, had great 3-d done with goggles with a spinning color disc in them.
I have yet to see this 3-d gaming system, circa 1982, topped.

Not just that...
What people don't realize is that TV does not exist to show TV shows. TV exists to show ADS.
The TV shows are just the bait.
The political leaders are elected. This would require foresight beyond the next paycheck and trip to McDonald's from the citizenry.
