Stop it. Now your post will be cited in some lobbyist's report to some congressvermin and worked into the justification for ACTA secrecy. Thanks a lot asshole.
I'd like to see MPEG-LA try to force American ISPs to block all web sites who are not paying their royalties, or where codecs have been used that infringe on their patented technology.
You know what else is expressly forbidden? Lying about what your drug is approved by the FDA for. Not just marketing off-label uses (also illegal), but flat out lying about what is on-label. But Pfizer still did that, and got away with it even after they were caught.
Your entire argument falls flat the minute someone points out that Pharma companies spend more on marketing than R&D and that it is the government, not Pharma which funds most research.
And I'm sure you'd have an extremely easy time making a decision to prosecute someone who you may have known for 20 years or more. Or maybe your spouse was involved in some illicit activities.
I'm not a cop. There's a long list of reasons for that, but they boil down to knowing I can't do the job, and having the integrity not to pretend I can.
Conflict of interest is a very real problem in any career and a lot of people aren't capable of rising above. It doesn't necessarily make them bad people.
When I was 14 I thought I was a card carrying Marxist. Should that be held against me for the rest of my life? Kids do stupid things when they've been indoctrinated to do them. In his case, there is no evidence of him actually committing any crimes, or even of actually having believed in any of the indoctrination.
Give it a rest and find something relevant (there's plenty of that) to hammer him with.
It's a whole lot easier when the person under discussion used to be a Nazi.
When he was 14 in a time when EVERY 14 year-old boy in Germany was drafted into the Hitler Youth?
I'm not even saying he didn't at the time buy into it whole heartedly--but when I was 14 I thought I was a card carrying Marxist, and I wasn't drafted into that. It'd be a little unreasonable to hold that against me now, much less when I'm 80.
If I completely misunderstand the facts of Christianity it is because I was raised Catholic and never really needed to know any of it anyways just go to church twice a year and give a donation.
On the contrary, you've layed out the Catholic Dogma on the matter much better than anyone else so far in the thread--and it is SIGNIFICANTLY different from other Christian Dogmas in this particular area especially.

Surely you've heard of denial? It's not just a river in Egypt.
The funny part of your post is your pretending that the choice is the reason you're stuck with B.
Posts like these remind me that the Internet is a lot like Lake Wobegon.
Just want to say, NOT HAPPENING. I'm happy using abstinence as a contraceptive. 100% effective. (:
Why is your mouth above your eyes?
Because we're comfortable with our sexuality? We're not prudes? We're nudists? I dunno, any of a thousand reasons.
Speak for yourself, you're just doing it wrong.
So, the radiation field will cause no damage to other satellites and the upper atmosphere.
You apparently do not understand how an EMP works.

Don't think they won't try.
We really need to find a way to --err... dissuade them.
Summary execution comes to mind.
Eating a shit sandwich on a Krispy Kreme doughnut does not make it any less of a shit sandwich.
No, but it does make it delicious.

You really think they don't offer kickbacks too?
Well somebody has to do it--you've seen how incompetent they normally are.

Please try again.
No, he's right. That's the Standard Model, which is 1975's particle system.
Only until the forest reached maturity. Mature forests do not absorb any new carbon dioxide.

It does make them bad cops.
The only reason faithies like to dump on Scientology is that it's the most blatantly obvious con-job cult of all the religions.
You say this, when you live in a world where Heaven's Gate exists and Rio Di Angelo stills believes in it.
Christianity, Catholicism, Scientology, Hinduism, etc. don't make any money.
The Roman Catholic Church makes a metric fuckton (let's spitball and call it comparable to the GDP of the state of California).
The Church of Scientology makes a metric fuckton.
Etc.
Organizations, not ideas, make money.

You must be new here. You're assuming ANYONE commenting here read the speech. And really, what are the odds of that?

Why do you think they rise to the top? It ain't by sharing their good fortune.
