thats right.. i am at my house in Canada at the moment.. but you spotted the "chinese troll" account.. You and your friends going to do some "area 51" research later tongiht too?
because someone has a different opinion then you doesnt make them a "troll"..
Same post i made earlier.. Do share some of your own FIRST HAND experience from your time in China.. What.. Never been there.. Shocked.. Shocked i tell you...
My long term girlfriend is Chinses.. and yes, she fled china as well (for many reasons)... but it isnt nearly as bad as many make it out to be. her family is still there, she goes back several times a year to see them.
Most chinese are more interestsed in making money then taking about their government.. unlike here, where we seem to enjoy taking about their government a lot.. mostly from people who have never been there..
As a fellow canadian i wouldnt mind hearing your first hand experience iwth the "most terrifying government on the planet". Clearly you have been there, experienced it first hand and have some interesting "totalitarian" stories to share.
Signed.. a canadian who actuallly owns a house in there (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilin) and has been there many times.
the reason for copywrite was to encourage artists.. if they are dead, do they still need "protection and encouragement"? this is pretty much the only industry where your kids, and grandkids can sit around and collect your cheques.
This is true, and i actually have a PRIME account as well.. but if i dont mind waiting the stuff is a lot less.
Just one example: Knife sharpener stones - $35 on amazon, $20 elsewhere for the same thing? there are some healty markups on amazon for holding stock locally. Lets face it, knife shapening stones are not exactly a "got to have it tomorrow" item are they?
With all the "direct from china" sites popping up and offering the same products for a LOT less then amazon sells their "made in china" stuff, people still use amazon?
As someone who has 2 compact cars and a giant SUV i can tell you why some people buy them.
False sense of safety. the thing weights a ton, almost takes the full lane.. but the significant other things it is "safer" even thought the cars all have 5 star crash ratings.

It would appear you are posting about things you have no clue about. Imagine that your car broke down, and every part in it was DRM locked and you needed to have someone come onsite to fix it. Now imagine you needed it to close a $10,000K deal tomrorow which was do-or-die.. this is the situation farmers are in.
Your car is fairly easy, worst case, tow it to town. Imagine instead of a broken car, it is a 14,650 pound combine. How much woudl it cost to have that lifted and driven hours and hours to town?
The first time was some property management company around 1,500 KM and in another country (I'm in Canada, they were in the US). I asked nicely several times to have them stop, but they didnt so i decided to be a d*ck about it. they were not very nice, and the fact they were agaisnt Canada's unsolicted email laws didnt cause them to fix this any faster. It shoudlnt have taken 2+ months to stop emailing me about the daily operatoins of a condo.
The second time is still ongoing, where i get someone's 401k updates (no details, just telling me to login and review these fantastic new products).
I suspect this is from the same person, who has missed a letter in her own gmail account which happens to be my gmail account.
Was this really Tarrif related, or an excuse? Regardless, it was Funny to watch Trump pitch a "Great american company" with big Harley's on the whitehouse lawn one momemt, then stab them the next.
This is really odd.. as trump stated that the other countries would be paying these terrifs and the US woudl be making "a lot of money" as a result of them so the US was in a "no lose" position?
i guess the importer pays them?
the best part so far.. when trump was praising HarleyDavidson one moment as a "Great american company" then slamming them the next over actions they had to take over his own crazy policy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... "In God We Trust" is the official motto of the United States of America and of the U.S. state of Florida. It was adopted as the nation's motto in 1956 as a replacement or alternative to the unofficial motto of E pluribus unum, which was adopted when the Great Seal of the United States was created and adopted in 1782.[1][2]
DId you read the link you posted? it is very consistant with what i had posted as well
(a) To wrongfully obtain or exert unauthorized control over the property or services of another or the value thereof, with intent to deprive him or her of such property or services; or
so.. when the OP downloads a TV show, has he deprived the owner of property or a service? Has he exerted control over the property or service?
Here (Canada) the definition is also very consistant
Theft, in law, a general term covering a variety of specific types of stealing, including the crimes of larceny, robbery, and burglary. Theft is defined as the physical removal of an object that is capable of being stolen without the consent of the owner and with the intention of depriving the owner of it permanently.
people llike you can push your "theft" agenda all you want. it is copyright information, not theft.
what about theft from the public domain? you know, they get a copyright, decide 70 years isnt long enough and petitiion to make it even longer?
all those people who litter.. start with fines, community service, or something.. as an added bonus places will look nicer without garbage all over the place.
no matter how many times you post it is inert.. doesnt make it true.
why you should not refill plastic water bottles:
Chemical Leaks Plastic bottles may leak chemicals into the water when reused, especially if cleaned in a high-heat environment like your dishwasher. Most plastic water bottles are marked with a "1" signifying they're made from polyethylene terephthalate, which Harvard University says may contain antimony, a chemical that may cause cancer. More rigid bottles, like the type which contain water or fruit juice, are marked with a "3", which signifies they're made from polyvinyl chloride. Such bottles contain phthalates, which may be linked to reproductive health problems.

Ah yes.. the classic "Tiananmen" reference. .My wife was there.. Were you or your family?
Does china do bad things? Yes, absolutly and there is no denying that fact.
Do we here in North America have a clean track record?
I'd say things like this were not the best things to do to your own people : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The dr's and people doing the experiments didnt seem to want to volunteer their own familys, so i guess they had a good idea it wasnt good right?
Current China is probably similiar to 1950's north america.. polution, McCarthyism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... all that bad stuff.

Take a read:

Is that so? in a large multi-thousand-acre farm you can just wait for days to have someone come fix it for you?
Most farmers are incredibly technically competent people who do repair their own equipment.

Are you american?
if so you should be aware of the 100 mile excluson zone as well : https://www.aclu.org/other/con...
So you not only dont have "rights" AT the border, but you have limited rights for 100 miles into the country as well.
I know, i was referring to their announcment about shifing productioni to EU over the Tarrifs : https://www.cbc.ca/news/busine...

according to this, there isnt a whole lot of OSX / IOS safari users.
https://www.netmarketshare.com...?
on the desktop windows is like 88% with OSX being arond 9% (still much higerh then the "linux weirdos" as was posted earlier.
on mobile devices, android is 70% vs 26% ios.
Clearly no one "wants" to use Edge.. unfortuntly like all instances of windows, there really isnt a way to uninstall that peice of crap.
re-read his post, where he said "it simply means that employees cannot be forced to pay union dues."
he didnt say you cant have unions, he said they cant be forced to pay dues.
i guess this will probably be detrimental to the union in the long run because they will lose a source of funding.
Too bad you cant create a sentence.

Here (Canada) the definition is also very consistant
http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca...
theft, by definition centers around depriving someone of somethign (a good or service). even your own state laws clearly specify this.
so.. when did copyright infringmenetn become theft?
continue your marketing campaign, debeers convinced people a rock is worth 2 months salary.. maybe you can redefine "theft" as well.
you have any idea what you are talking about?
this is the legal def. of theft:
Theft, in law, a general term covering a variety of specific types of stealing, including the crimes of larceny, robbery, and burglary. Theft is defined as the physical removal of an object that is capable of being stolen without the consent of the owner and with the intention of depriving the owner of it permanently.
