I really don't understand why we still allow campaign contributions to specific politicians. IMO, this is the single biggest flaw in our political system currently. All contributions should be pooled and divided equally among all candidates. This should have been dealt with decades ago..
It would be easy if the photographer supplied the RAW image like he was supposed to. He conveniently "forgot" to bring it. Instant disqualification in my book.
The first rule of top secret alien positron brain quantum foam storage technology is you don't talk about top secret alien positron brain quantum foam storage technology
there is a concept in the world called "context". this is when something means something different depending on the situation. there is a distinct difference between calling up a school and saying "there is a bomb in the school." and writing a song that says "there's a bomb in the school." artists have been singing about murder and mayhem since the dawn of time. it's an emotional release.. doesn't make them threats. locking this kid up does absolutely nothing for the benefit of society... in fact, quite the opposite.. you've just bred another psychopath
Read an article recently that said they have evidence to suggest that feeding bees corn syrup to replace the honey that they would normally eat weakens their immune system because the honey contains all sorts of good biological things that are remnants from the plants they harvest the nectar from. Instead, we steal their honey and feed them factory produced high fructose corn syrup. Pesticides, insecticides, corn syrup.. It's no wonder they're dying....
Well, they're just mitigating bad luck with shrewd long-game play. It's still a game of luck if you look at it per-hand, but there are betting strategies and other skills involved if you intend to play the long-game, at which point I guess it becomes a game of skill.
Do these protesters realize that without this type of research, that they may force a delay in modern medicine by years, some of this medicine will likely be used to save themselves or someone they love dearly?
Yes, they realize this. It might be hard to believe, but some people are willing to accept the consequences if it means establishing a proper respect for all living things. What other atrocities should we commit in order to save a few of the precious homo sapiens? Where do you draw the line?
You may not realize this, but the vast majority of the population doesn't read gamer blogs or Slashdot daily, if ever. Ideas like this take time to pervade society...
Disagree. Some people keep cash, and what better place to keep it than a secret compartment. Just because you don't keep your money in a bank doesn't mean you're a criminal. Unless he had specific knowledge of his customer's criminal activity, just finding cash doesn't imply anything other than that dude is rich as hell
"I pirate because the movie studios are democrats."
Way to completely fabricate a quotation. I agree with Kohath, though, but for slightly different reasons. If you're going to bribe my government to do shit for you, I'm going to try to subvert you because you are destroying freedom. Maybe I'll do it politically, maybe socially, maybe financially... Maybe all three.

Whatever the truth, it's really hard to prove.

So if the Boston bombers had put their plans to music and released it on YouTube, you'd just have said "cool, go ahead"?
I would have said, "Cool, go ahead and make more music." not "Cool, go ahead and blow people up."

We have truly become a nation of cowards when a white high school kid can scare everyone with a song.

everything is commercial use in some form nowadays.. everything.
as when a hot air balloon has a bulgy shape and the hole is always at the bottom
Damnit, so that's what I did wrong...

It also isn't clear that "retention rate" is an important metric, or even if it is a positive thing.
Nice insight. But also, he might just hire dipwads who can't find another job somewhere else. 100% retention!

Yeah, nothing important about stopping animal slavery and cruelty. Humans are, after all, the most important living things on the planet.
We want to avoid excessive abuse of animals, but we do still need to use/eat them.
Need? Or want?
That doesn't stop them from using products that are only possible because of animal testing.
Or perhaps it's just really hard to tell which products these are.
This isn't the '50s.
Not for another 37 years...

Now we just need to convince them to take themselves down. Is it wrong to coerce suicide in an artificial lifeform?
They should just rename the sandwich to "The Brown Sucks".

Agreed. Possessing any quantity of cash is in no way, shape, or form, evidence of criminal activity. The same goes for hot fudge and ice cream.
Separately, or together?
