True, anything short of pure sociopathy is unforgiveable to many exec slimeballs.

Good ol' Chuck. At least his Twitter is entertaining, for a change.

Yea I don't think we'll be doing any coastal bombardments with battleships...lol. The 5" guns would hurt a torpedo boat, but hitting one moving at top speed with one wouldn't be especially easy.

The sad/troubling thing is that China's setup, is the MPAA's wet dream.

No argument, Zel. I am not an advocate for piracy. I am just saying that the demand for piracy could be tremendously reduced by altering their antiquated market paradigm that simply isn't what people want anymore. SOPA won't stop piracy, or even reduce it, but it WILL hurt a lot of innocent companies, and it gives far…

Yep I am well aware of that, and it proves my point. The media companies need to accept the fact that their days of ludicrous profit margins on media are coming to an end.

Agreed sir. Excellent film!

Theoatmeal wins. Best animated GIF ever. lol.

Piracy isn't equitable to physical theft. Someone downloading a movie doesn't prevent someone else from buying the same movie, so you can't equate it to someone stealing a DVD out of a store. In that scenario, that item can no longer be purchased, so there is indeed a real physical loss that has taken place. In the…

Well said.

Yes, we should shelter them, because if we tell them nothing and teach them nothing about sex, they just won't have it, right? /facepalm

Sure it is. The argument that if we legalize everything, everyone will become a drug addict, is based on nothing but irrational paranoia. You may have a slight influx at the time of legalization, and after that, they settle down to pre-legalization levels.

Grats on not actually reading the quote.

Prohibition empowered the mafia. It MADE Al Capone. Once it was repealed, the power of the mafia diminished tremendously. Without an illegal drug trade, there is no illegal drug profits, and as such, no absurdly rich and violent cartel. It is the very illegality of these things that makes such monstrous entities as…

The American Drug War is directly responsible for that. No Drug War = no illegal drug market, all of their money dries up, and the fighting goes away. We should've learned this lesson from Prohibition, but we certainly did no such thing.
