I think what comcast is doing is great. I am sick of people thinking that it is ok to steal movies and music just because it happens to be in digital format
Yes we're all sick of people breaking into stores and stealing DVD's. Except those of us who have lives. One must have an empty mind if that sort of thing is an issue.
Anyway back on subject. I've gotten more insight from dirty bums on the street telling me the world will end in a few hours. More accuracy too. I find it pitiful if you want to bend over and take it where your ISP puts it because you like to think data transferring is a bad evil world-destroying atrocity. The rest of us are just going to go with companies that won't bend you over because you're receiving data. Have fun with your gaping rear end.
Right on, in fact it completely restored my dwindling faith in the mods when I saw that this post had a Score 5 (I thought, at first, they were being partial toward the 'Bible is a conspiracy' posts, which would have dealt a major blow to that stance more than anything). Kudos guys.
Anyway yeah, the way the article was written just wreaks of 'oh shit, my beliefs that the bible is false are being stunted by logic and science - we're all going to die! Say something mindlessly and avoidingly sarcastic, quick!' and all the other such babble. The 'history is false' beliefs just don't hold up against archeology, and the journalist (now there's a loose term) here seems to have wet his pants in fear of it.
As if pictures can't be doctored and are absolute proof....
Ever hear somebody say 'crap, they're gonna prove me wrong' so elegantly? Even I could have covered it better than that. Try harder.
I could say the same thing about - say - Antarctica or the Moon, but like the writer of this article, I'd be blowing off time on a gigantic chunk of nonsense.
Anyone else think Akira should be on this list? I mean it observed nearly every law of physics even while it screwed around with them so much. The way the lasers shot in a stream instead foot-long jolts (much like real plasma would), you couldn't hear anything when Tetsuo was in space, the use of air-displacement on solid objects.
Plus you'd get to severely traumatize everyone in the class. What more could you want?
"FBI Raids Party, Shuts Off Music, Makes Listeners Pay for Licenses" "FBI Raids Man's House, Finds Man Reading a Book to a Kid, Convicted for Sharing" "FBI Raids Guy Across the Street, Convicted for Living Near Pirate" "FBI Raids FBI Base, Fucks Itself After Finding Mountain of Bribes"
'2+2=5' is wrong. Your dualistic "My view of the world is the only one" thoughts are really nothing worth listening to. Come back when you've ended your temper tantrum and have a point to make - till then nobody's going to take your psychological shortcomings to heart.
Well, those who know how life after death works often aren't afraid of it either, as they don't bother believing in the 'eternal judgment' system brought to us by dualists and every mindless preacher with a bone to pick on whomever opposes him.
Either way, it seems like nobody's going to consider all the thousands of people who are set up and framed for the crimes they didn't commit. Seems we're too busy imagining a perfect, spotless judicial system to pay attention to real life, where maybe 20% of 'criminals' were just people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, dealt with corrupt police officers, or were just messing with the wrong people. Looks to me like everyone just wants a 'bad guy' to blame for all their problems.
I think this post should get a 'Score: 1 Funny' since it's a hilarious tangent that doesn't have the least to do with this subject. Like if I made an unrelated reference to all the bombings and shootings done by those believing in atheism, with the whole 'I'll disappear after this' notion making it all so convenient. Cause hey, it worked for the Columbine kids and a whole bunch of others. Everyone jump on the bandwagon.
Now we can get back to smoking and drinking to pass time.
*Whew* good thing for this holiday or whatever it is. Television was about to kill us all and rape our wives. I'm glad we so narrowly managed to escape it.
"So... What're you in for?" "Ah, robbed a bank and shot a security guard to death. Then killed my wife and kids." "And you?" "Blew up a subway train and raped five women, then bombed a large building full of orphans." "What about you over there?" "I brought a camcorder into a movie theater." "OH MY GOD!!!" "LET ME OUT, LET ME OUT! HE'S CRAZY!!!" "EEEEEEK!!!"
Always the same simple solutions from people who say the first thing that springs to mind without giving it a single thought. "It'll magically solve all the problems if we vote for the other guy who will do the exact same thing."
I could take the same route and say China's dumb because China's government is dumb, or pretty much any other country (such as Austrailia) for that matter.
Only difference is, the republican party running America has finally shown its true colors and now our government resembles a burly ten-foot retard on a drunken rampage.
We're all practically unanimous that it sucks. In fact most of the world will join us in that.
Maybe one day foreigners and Americans alike will realize, "D'oh! Citizens don't decide what the government does! Never have, and never will!"
Till then, the citizens of every country will continue hating the citizens of every country for things they had absolutely nothing to do with. It doesn't affect me too much, so I'll just leave the mindless little loop for everyone else to follow.
Man, I would love to see a concerted effort by everyone to avoid doing any business with the Americans until they come down off their high horse and start treat others with some respect.
Respect is given where respect is earned, and this post in itself is an excellent example of why we don't go off respecting any idiot who thinks everyone else is trying to be high and might. And we don't do business with dumbasses anyway so I'm afraid you were out of luck from the get-go. You'll have to go blame another country for dominating yours cause thus far you're having no luck against this one.

Maybe you should just get up earlier to write stuff.
You are falling for the god of the gaps fallacy
Good thing you told us it was a fallacy, because there certainly isn't any proof that would let us know otherwise.
Anyone else would have figured out that he was referring to a bible verse, but I guess this guy is special.

Wow, they haven't started and it's already a big conspiracy cover-up!
*Puts on a tinfoil hat*
Thought I'd join in on the fun. We're all in the matrix!

Headline articles two years from now:
"FBI Raids Party, Shuts Off Music, Makes Listeners Pay for Licenses"
"FBI Raids Man's House, Finds Man Reading a Book to a Kid, Convicted for Sharing"
"FBI Raids Guy Across the Street, Convicted for Living Near Pirate"
"FBI Raids FBI Base, Fucks Itself After Finding Mountain of Bribes"
admit that what they do is wrong
'2+2=5' is wrong. Your dualistic "My view of the world is the only one" thoughts are really nothing worth listening to. Come back when you've ended your temper tantrum and have a point to make - till then nobody's going to take your psychological shortcomings to heart.

I guess now that prisons are all full of everyday computer users, the criminals all had to become politicians.
Conspiracy theorist!
Sorry, that's just what we're supposed to call anyone who points out the most probable cause, then act all shocked when it turns out true.
Badger badger badger badger, Linux, Linux!
Sorry
stupid dang "goody two shoes" USA pollies
Heh. Goodie two shoes. Like saying the Inquisition was run by freedom-loving hippies.
"Ah, the government would never do that." - ever notice what happens every freakin time you say this?
I.... think we just found a new goatse

Wasn't it, "That bike will chew you up and spit out the seeds, sport." I've got that movie DOWN.
But mod chips were really designed with one thing in mind - allowing you to circumvent the in-built protection of consoles, to play copied games.
Since there's absolutely no evidence or support behind the above concept, all I really have to say is "no they weren't."
