    From what I understand, Weird Al asked for permission, which Coolio gave, but once he found out that the music was the only part that money was given to (Stevie Wonder, not Coolio), since Weird Al was getting paid for the lyrics, Coolio got all pissy.

    Because better living through chemistry is most definitely news for nerds. The review is what makes it slashdot material. If Canseco had admitted to having cybernetic arms replace his actual arms, would that have been news for nerds? Well this is Captain America instead of Cable.

    I was one of the Florida voters who voted for a third party instead of the Democrats because this was not the way I wanted to see the Democratic party go - Gore and Lieberman, censorholics. I still don't know if it was a mistake. But by far, it's more common in the right.

    You can't yell "fire!" in a crowded theater when there's no fire, you can't publish false and slanderous information, and you can't out C.I.A. agents. The first has limits. And here's the copyright clause (there are things outside of the bill of rights):

    To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries

    While it may not specifically mention trade secrets, trust me, this and the first amendment balance each other. It doesn't mean you can't lean toward the first, but it does mean it's not a magic bullet.

    Ok, first of all, Slashdot should be changed to news for Geeks and Child Molesters, I've grown sick with the number of you on here acting as if molesting children is in any way a normal act. You have a problem, get help, I support you getting help. I wish there were more resources, but look around, get therapy at least.

    Secondly, I never said prison was where to get your moral examples - I said that people who are in prison, usually people with fucked up histories hate people who hurt children because of their own history, and exploitation of children creates criminals.

    Third, your link is stupid. Sure, raping other inmates is a way to show dominance in prison (and a big problem in creating recidivism), but upon coming in to prison the worst you can be is a child molestor, and the best you can be is a copkiller.

  15. Re:Disney World and Child Exploitation on Computer-Edited Photos Lead To Child-Porn Locale · · Score: 0

    Not only is this true, but the victims also tend to be the kind of people so morally broken down that they inflict their pain on others (serial killers, for instance).

    In prisons the lowest of the low is a child molester or murderer of children.

    At the same time these people need help - they have no control over their desires, and little ability to change them. If anything they should be encouraged to get help before they act - many are disgusted by their own acts.

    I'm against the death penalty, but when in a class where we were asked who should and should not get the death penalty the only person I gave it to was Cardinal Law, the Cardinal who covered up and enabled the sex abuse in Boston and elsewhere. He actually suffered no criminal sanction in real life, and the Catholic Church's attitude to child molestation still seems to be covering it up just as it was when Sinead O'Connor ripped up the pope's picture on Saturday Night Live.

    Q: Why is New Hampshire the state the FSP is moving to?

    A: After obtaining 5,000 committed members, the FSP membership voted and chose New Hampshire. The vote was conducted in accordance with the Participation Guidelines; detailed results of the vote may be found here. The FSP membership selected New Hampshire because of its many political, economic, and cultural advantages, which can be seen in our NH Info page. In addition, New Hampshire's low population ensures that each individual can have an effect on the political system.

    With the lowest crime in the nation 1, the lowest taxes in the continental U.S. 2, and a part-time citizen legislature, the state of New Hampshire is the ideal place for libertarians and other friends of local, responsible government to relocate.

    Property is theft. It always will be - democracy, tyranny, anarchy - in any case, the true enslaver is nature, and people unite their power in different fashions to allocate resources. Fairness is an illusion.

    By the way, Michael Moore is far from lazy, he works all the time and gives back to the community as well. Sure, he's fat - so was Churchill, get over it.

    By the way, I'm typically a libertarian, and I believe the government should get the hell out of most everything from a utilitarian aspect - but your argument sux0r.

    Did you vote in every election - including the school board, water board, primaries, etc.? Were you one of the many people who had to wait over 8 hours in line, or go to multiple polling places? Do you have kids? I try to vote as often as possible, out of a feeling of duty to my country, but it can be taxing. Some people who don't vote don't deserve a voice in the electorate, and I'm glad you make an effort to vote, but there are reasons not to outside of apathy.
