Some people are just born "lucky." The rest of us actually have to work.
Too true. You get the flamebait mods because most people are intensely wrapped up in the fantasy that they too can be rich and successful if they just work a little harder. "Tell them the truth, and they will hate you for it."
No, the USSR did shit Hitler only dreamed about. At least Hitler let the white middle class mostly alone. In the USSR, you weren't safe no matter who you were until at least '57.
Lefty politics necessitate totalitarianism.
You can keep saying it, but it doesn't make it true.
Communism and socialism can only be imposed by force of arms, unlike capitalism.
No, capitalism can only be imposed by force of threat of poverty, which to me, is much more insidious. Money (wealth) is a weapon, too.
Both Hitler and yourself can keep calling him and the nazi party socialist all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that the country was run pretty much as a Totalitarian regime focused on unilateral warfare, hyper-patriotism and strong law & order credentials, which is about as far from socialism as you can get.
You're technically right, but with all the overlays and shit they put right over the shows these days, you could easily find many OTA and cable networks who realistically push over 30 minutes of advertising per hour.
Sure! Let's assume, like a majority of geeks, you're in SoCal...
1. Build Time Machine (0 mi.)
2. Travel Back to 320 AD (-0 mi.)
3. Walk to the East Coast of the US (3782 mi.)
4. Build boat (0 mi.)
5. Paddle to Italy (4890 mi.)
6. Head NE to Rome (45 mi.)
I'm willing to bet that criminal market would be exactly as big as it is today.
So, even though prostitutes wouldn't have to spend precious time and resources looking over their shoulder, getting arrested, going to court, going to prison, going to halfway houses, being able to file charges on their pimp should they still bother to have one, NOTHING will change? I think you need to show your work there.
We do have a duty to reduce activity that harms others
It would also be nice if we didn't enact laws that do exactly the thing they're "supposed" to be protecting. Awww, who am I kidding, let's just go ban something else!
Now that you mention it, it would be nice to see the Republicans bend over for the Dems the way the Dems have the last 8 years. Come on, it's reach around time!
How does use of the logo show you're legit? I bet there are plenty of pirate and torrent sites that could stick that logo right on their front page today.
And your point is? They could tell me they have the cure for cancer and I, aware that I am on a freaking torrent site, will take that pronouncement with the required grains of salt.
Whole point's moot anyway. With Sony's rootkit et. al, do as Mulder did: Trust No One.

From your high userid
Dude, UIDs are up to the 1.4M range now. I don't think you can call his "high" when it falls into the bottom 50%.
Tell that to the guy in this movie
WTF? You should have linked to Dune, not frigging Waterworld! Now go hand in your geek card.
However, I don't think anybody wants to drink this warm, so better make that piss frosty.

You have swallowed too much koolaid and don't seem to have any desires left within you.
What the? Where do you come up with this shit? As a bonafide (trying to recover) workaholic, I can only laugh at your projection.
If you refuse to work for yourself or provide for your family
Oh, okay, you completely misunderstood the sentence of mine you quoted. Fucking time waster.
Does someone magically reward you for doing a better job and give you more then them? Oh wait, that would be a capitalist value.
This is why I rank capitalism with all the other cults. The inverse of that sentence isn't true either. Have fun believing it.
It allows you to apply yourself and better your situation.
It also allows travel in the other direction, but that rarely makes it into the brochure, doesn't it?
Money is the most powerful weapon in the world. Why should we let the 1% of the world who own all the guns lay down the law?
You mean like the USSR ?
No, the USSR did shit Hitler only dreamed about. At least Hitler let the white middle class mostly alone. In the USSR, you weren't safe no matter who you were until at least '57.

but it has unwanted head
Nice Freudian slip. You don't like getting a blowjob, then?
Oh right ... it translates to "socialist".
Both Hitler and yourself can keep calling him and the nazi party socialist all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that the country was run pretty much as a Totalitarian regime focused on unilateral warfare, hyper-patriotism and strong law & order credentials, which is about as far from socialism as you can get.
Thanks for playing!

But can we PLEASE stop comparing him to Kennedy and Lincoln before he has even started?
Sure, but you're going to have to tell the right-wing 'tards to stop hyperventilating about him being the antichrist. while you're at it.
No directions?
Sure! Let's assume, like a majority of geeks, you're in SoCal...

See? That was easy!
New sig, ta.
With the iphone, Apple controls it.
Silly AC, no they don't. I jailbreaked mine!

Would I have had better luck with a car analogy?
Yes. What you did was like slowing down the car with the handbrake instead of downshifting.
Hey, we can only work with what we're given. Try harder.
Very funny, thanks for the link.
The Iraq war sucks and all, but.. "Horrific"?
Wow...what a clueless tool you are.
You mean like the Democrats did in 2000 and 2004?
Now that you mention it, it would be nice to see the Republicans bend over for the Dems the way the Dems have the last 8 years. Come on, it's reach around time!
Anti-white racism in the African-American community is ugly.
Maybe. But it sure is delicious!
As opposed to the other completely neutral news organizations..right.
Correct, they're not neutral. As they're all owned by conglomerates, they lean corporatist.

The tide has turned: A once geek-only outrage will now be slowly taken up by the AOL like masses.
About frigging time.
MOD PARENT UP!
Why I'm treated like a criminal when all I want to do is dust the front of my Sephiroth t-shirt in Cheetos orange is something I'll never know!
Marketing is a succulent, open faced potroast sandwich.
Well, that sounds fabulous! I'll buy that for a dollar!
