Last time I checked, its illegal to take something that is not yours and you didn't pay for.
What, exactly, have TPB actually taken? They haven't taken anything. They haven't even copied anything themselves - they have only facilitated that copying. If you tell me a joke that you created, and I tell that joke to somebody else, have I "taken" your joke? Have I "stolen" your joke, even if I tell people you are the original author? Of course I fucking haven't. You give me a fucking break.
And it has been that way for thousands of years.
Theft might have been illegal in certain nations and cultures for thousands of years, but this case has nothing to do with theft so your statement is irrelevant. The lawyers in this case know that theft and copyright infringement are distinctly different issues, even the bloody plaintiffs, so I don't know why you choose to ignore this distinction. People have freely shared the works of others without breaking the law until very recently in terms of human civilisation. Don't act as though 80+ year copyrights are an age-old invention. Not that the length of a practice is in any way relevant to its legitimacy - people have believed in God for thousands of years, and this fact does not lend any credence to his existence.
Don't pretend like its something its not.
Haha, that's funny, you should heed your own advice there, pal.
How common is sports addiction anyway? I've never heard of people staying up until 3am to kick a soccer ball around several times a week or pissing in a water bottle because they couldn't bear to be away from the tennis court for a couple of minutes. MMORPG addicts behaving like that are a dime a dozen; sports addicts, not so much.
Lethal injection at least it seems like a painless death.
It is reasonable to believe that this is the case but it would appear you are mistaken. I urge everyone to watch the BBC Horizon (a stellar science documentary series) programme entitled "How to Kill a Human Being":
In this programme, the narrator Michael Portillo goes on a search for a humane method of execution, and finds that it is more difficult than it would first appear. He discovers evidence that the lethal injection, if botched, can cause agonising pain that makes your flesh feel as if on fire. Of course, there are some, including the creator of this execution method interviewed in the programme, who believe that is a feature and not a bug. Hanging and the gas chamber are also examined, and these are not perfect, either.
As a conclusion, Portillo discovers a method that seems to be perfect for carrying out humane executions: nitrogen. While undergoing nitrogen intoxication as an experiment, Portillo is feeling euphoric while being seconds from death. Naturally, such a method, if implemented, would be strongly criticised by those who combine capital punishment with fantasies of revenge and view painless executions as unnecessary or even counter to the ideals behind the death penalty.
As any man knows, if you ignore it for long enough, it will eventually go away. Just like the pain in my tooth and the blood on my toilet paper. I haven't been to the doctor in years, and I am as fit as
Christ, I've been working in IT for just shy of a year, and I already feel burnt out. Of course, that is working in more of a user-focused area, namely the helpdesk, so I can't speak for the coding or development-oriented jobs although I imagine they are far cushier. If want to retain your sanity, do not go into anything resembling support if you can help it, although without any prior experience it might be tricky.
Full city coverage, yet whenever there is evidence of wrongdoing by a city official, or complaints over police behaviour, the footage mysteriously becomes 'unavailable', or the cameras weren't working that particular day.

I agree, we need to focus more on space exploration. There are some locations on Mars that would be kick-ass locations for Starbucks.

They "feel" their way through life instead of thinking.
Are you saying Bruce Lee got it wrong?!

Surely you mean the former?
I think you'll find that's 'arses', old bean. Cheerio.

Yeah, but you are including the three minutes required to put the condom on properly.
without degrading or dehumanizing an entire country of people like Boyle did with slumdog.
Can you educate me as to how Boyle did this?
The fact remains that CCTV has lead to more real criminals behind bars
Do you have a cite for this assertion?
Full city coverage, yet whenever there is evidence of wrongdoing by a city official, or complaints over police behaviour, the footage mysteriously becomes 'unavailable', or the cameras weren't working that particular day.
Anyone else have this experience?
Of spending Valentine's day with a female? No, sorry...

Something on your mind there, sport?
They were pulling your leg. In actual fact they dry-docked it and spent two weeks in the pub.
Love your sig, man. Great album. What God wants, God gets, God help us all!
Leffe Blond, Lefee Brune, Hoegaarden. It was on offer at the supermarket. What else is your average lonely computer nerd going to drink?
Happy sequential Unix time day.
I am spending it drinking alone on a Friday night and wishing I had a girlfriend. How are the rest of you guys celebrating?
But I live in my parent's basement you insensitive clod!
