If the giant corps can still afford large teams of high-priced lawyers to file thousands of lawsuits and high-power lobbyists to blow congress, then piracy is obviously doing little to hurt the bottom line.
Hmmm... a few thousand partially trained/equipped civilians get together, buy uniforms, and fight the best trained, best equipped, and best funded military force in the world head on.
Suicide rules!
we are on their soil, asshole.
your argument is horeshit. Do you think Lance Armstrong could get an applied mathematics degree while training for the tour de france? Oh well then, I guess his 7 victories did nothing to enrich his life, eh?

How the hell is it going to help to have even a legitimate "opt-out" link at the bottom of an email I refuse to open? Deleting it wastes enough time, eh?

I happen to know you can listen to computers in the white house from Penn. Ave. The password I decoded was 1,2,3,4,5. Or it could have been Dubya unpacking after a trip to Camp David.
You seem to forget that America is home to many people of a wide variety of cultures and ethnicities, but all of our slopes are decidedly slippery. Just ask these guys , for one.
You didnt even mention the fact that almost identical posts can be "5, insightful", "1, redundant", "5, funny", etc. You might not really love when this happens though.

now, I'm not saying we should dress him in one of these and drop him in the middle of a Pro-life rally, but...
