Many young people go through a 'Beatles' phase. It's one of the possible paths of '(recordings of) music appreciation' that young people can go through. Another alternative artist to fixate on is Jim Morrison. Che t-shirts and other bric-a-brac from 'The Sixties' (which really happened in the early 70's) figure in this.
It's kind of a College Freshman phenomena. And a rite of passage for some people.
In my reading of the issue, they mainly did it to keep third parties from releasing shitty poorly done copies of the recordings as 'New Beatles Material' in the Beatle's name.
This is bootleg territory, and the material released on iTunes is presumably of better quality than what the bootleg hustlers would have been selling in places like the cheap bins at Walgreens and WalMart.
So, you're saying he is sort of 'dirty' for associating with copyright at all? Even though he responded with more details that explain why that would be a meaningless gesture?
What do you say to all the people who license their software under the GPL, where copyright law is a pivotal part of the license.
Uh, if you believe in evolution, you understand that cats have been essentially the same species for 10,000 years.
Now, if you believe in adaptive behavior through breeding, you believe in adaptive behavior through breeding. Which has nothing to do with evolution. Evolution involves species divergence, not merely 'change' of a single species.
if you think the US gun culture is not correlated to gang-related violence...
Here where I live, Gander Mountain advertises itself as the biggest gun store in the state. They're not a gang hangout, in case you couldn't guess. There is a sizable gun culture around sportsman hunting.
The people carrying around handguns and killing each other in the US are minority-race urban drug dealers and gang members. Not average American citizens.
So there's really no means of comparing the Swiss gun-owners to the gun carriers in the US who commit most of the gun crime.

Probably easier than it is for a US citizen who wants to work for a living to legally immigrate to Mexico.

Don't ask Marc Andreesen, Bezos or any of the other 'I was there first' fucks about how it works.
Right now the beetles are out of season on Animal Crossing. Unless you time travel, of course.

Damnit, have some sympathy for those of us on 10Base2,

I think the more correct line is:
A cat makes sure you are unhappy until you have fed him.
Nerds can learn to cook and cook well.
There's even an O'Reilly book on the topic:
Cooking for Geeks.
No, it's the plutonium in Twinkies. Gives them an incredibly long half-life.
They all seem to get well over 40 MPG, but who wants to drive one? They've got the comfort and appeal of a cardboard box.
Maybe your aesthetics and your cultural life shouldn't revolve around the vehicle you use for transportation.
Sometimes I wish there was just a band of terrorists out there that blew up car washes.
That's all very nice for your postage-stamp sized lawn.
I'd hate to live in a place like that.
More likely, people don't want to lower their standard of living so that they subsist on the diet that the average person in India eats.
The Indians would like a better diet, too!
WalMart's generic 'spam' is better than the real Hormel variety.
Cheaper, too.
A fucking shrink needing to meet his boat payment is a sign that you have a mental illness.
Sorry for being a little blunt.
Jeez. Fifty bucks? I think you're way overestimating the cost. Maybe $5-10.
But the key is going to be the powder, not the gun itself.
I stopped the school bus bully with my clarinet case back in Jr. High School. It broke the handle on the case, but the fucker quit bullying.
So are clarinet cases to be prohibited?
Need some Visine?
You'd better let those Supreme Court justices speak for themselves. I'm not sure they want to hunker down with you in your rhetorical foxhole, dude.

Also, he was an outspoken Socialist.
(well, as much as any High School kid can be)
So you're saying you'd rather have a gram than a damn. Ok.
The people carrying around handguns and killing each other in the US are minority-race urban drug dealers and gang members. Not average American citizens.
So there's really no means of comparing the Swiss gun-owners to the gun carriers in the US who commit most of the gun crime.
