If China were to offer free downloads of American software, would you be for or against censorship then?
You are either for censorship or you arent, otherwise you are just for promoting American culture and this has nothing to do with censorship and everything to do with global domination.
Then its suddenly okay. Yeah alright, so the majority of Americans want to trade share restricted digital information, but thats okay to censor to protect record companies and software companies?
We are the same people who gets on China's case for having an uncensored software industry!
We censor anything corporations say censor, such as intellectual property, we also censor stuff like kiddie porn. Lets not pretend like the USA doesnt censor stuff. If China started making hundreds of thousands of pro communism websites I'm sure our government would censor it.
Republicans actually are socialist. In fact Republicans are the most socialist political party in America at this time.
Republicans are socialist because they believe in corporate socialism. They believe corporations must be tyrannies. They are against Democracy. Under Republicans work place Democracy has decreased and will continue to decrease as Walmart style tyranny businesses gain government support. The government supports these businesses just as a socialist government supports its businesses. The government provides state protections, bailouts of all sorts, tax exeptions, and many other forms of corporate socialism.
Market discipline is perfect for workers who are forced to learn responsibility, but for corporate owners there is no responsiblity socially or personally. Corporations under Republicans are actually encouraged to be irresponsible and to avoid all social responsibility in favor of profit.
There is no difference between the Democratic and Republican party. Both these parties are socialist. Democratic parties redistribute money directly to the people and favor Democracy in and out of the workplace. Republican parties redistribute the money from the middle class directly into the hands of corporate share holders and CEOs. What does this mean in common sense language?
If you are a CEO of a big multi-national company, you are a Republican.
If you work for a company and you arent a CEO or shareholder, you are a Democrat. If each company is a government in itself, if you are the CEO you usually will prefer tyranny over Democracy. If you are the worker you'll definately prefer Democracy over tyranny.
Freedom for Who? Republicans (The CEO's) believe they should have the freedom to chase capital without any restrictions for any reasons. Workers want the freedom to move up, to make higher wages, and to get a portion of benefits from the companies profits.
If you are at the top of the business world you are at the top of the country. If you are at the top of the country then your concept of freedom is going to be different from the concept the remaining 99% of the country has.
Diabetes is caused by insulin resistance. This means eating bad foods not eating too much food. Mainly due to corn syrup and refined sugars, coke, pepsi and starches.
ignorance is hate. When you don't care about yourself, its much easier to not care about others. When you hate yourself you can hate others.
Most people who hate others hate themselves. Most people who love themselves love others. This depends on the nature of the specific human. Some humans are designed to hate other humans, some humans are designed to love other humans. Humans which are designed to hate are filled with rage to begin with and usually look for a scapegoat to direct this.
Finally hate is a meme, its a concept. In some cultures and society the concept does not exist. Some societies don't hate because they believe everyone is connected (buddhism), some societies don't hate because they don't express anger in the same way.
First, now its easier to track terrorists. Second why do you deserve privacy? Privacy or security, which would you prefer? The terrorists prefer privacy. Which side are you on?
When you remove the influence of the federal government over our school systems, the system will regulate itself. The students will be judged by the teachers who will be judged by the community. Why do we need federal standards? The no child left behind act is part of the problem instead of the solution.
Tools for learning are important and if they're not working properly examination of why is equally, if not more, important. Kids that don't care are fairly well doomed, but kids that do should be given every chance and tool to help them along be it "hard" or "soft" course work.
Of course most kids don't care. It's our jobs to make kids care. This requires you give kids the freedom to learn at their own pace and not be stuck in a government loop.
" US ranks very low in academics especially in Math and Science, "
We invented science. Computers are our invention so to say we arent the best at science is silly. Math however is something we arent so good at and this is due to the way its taught. Finally you need to understand that its government regulation that holds schools back. You cannot give students federal guidelines on what to learn and give teachers federal guidelines on what to teach and expect them not to go above and beyond expectations. They will pass the test and they wont know shit.
"I am aware of the United States' failing academic standing. It's sad really because we were once great leaders. The problem in schools now is that students don't really want to learn, they've simply become complacent. Worse it seems like too many teachers have fallen pray to this as well, they don't want to teach. This sounds like a completely opposite sittuation however, more power to them.
This is because teachers must teach for federalized tests. The federal government should stay out of the school system and when they regular the market it destroys the system. Students can't learn because they have to pass federal standards instead of their teachers standards or their own personal standards. We need to remove all federal standards.
I mean its about living, and if you can live better in India than in America, why not work there and live like a king.
People want to have the good life more than they want to make a lot of money. India is not looking so bad as a place to work and live.
American companies will just have to compete or I'll move to India.

If China were to offer free downloads of American software, would you be for or against censorship then?
You are either for censorship or you arent, otherwise you are just for promoting American culture and this has nothing to do with censorship and everything to do with global domination.
