"Either way, liability no longer falls on the consumer."

I'd love to see Disney's take on "Die Geschichte vom Daumenlutscher":

So... you can't refute my claims, and instead of doing so, you're asking me to do it for you? No.

Really? I'm guessing you don't tip when you eat out?

Maybe you shouldn't have had children if money is that tight for you. Better planning would have given you a much better quality of life.

You do realize that businesses that turn a profit also tend to employ people, don't you?

Unfortunately it's a cycle that won't get any better until a majority of people break the habit of searching for the lowest possible price on everything.

If the difference of $7 is enough to make it so that you cannot feed your family, then you shouldn't be buying books at all. Go to your local library instead, that way you can afford peanut butter AND jelly!

follow up: This is a much better experience without the ads. Thanks for the inspiration, Mario!

I know you don't need yet another comment telling you what a piece of shit you are, but I might as well join the crowd. I think the problem isn't so much what you did, but how you said it.

Not really. I just think it's stupid that people whine about the cost of optional programs like this. If it's not a good value for you, don't subscribe. If it is, pay the fee and enjoy the benefits that apply to you for the price that you agreed to pay.

I guess? I have an iPhone 5 and a Moto X. I also have Amazon Prime, although I've never used the streaming video on any platform. The free shipping makes it worth it for me. Your attempt to pigeon hole me based on what cell phone operating system you think I use is pretty ignorant though.
