Uhhhh do you know how radio stations work? Because radio stations do pay the song writers to play the songs. The privilege to play the songs (which drives the volume of listeners) is paid in the form of royalties which is generated by ad revenue. So no - not free advertising.

The issue is that YouTube is absolutely profiting off of these artists without paying just compensation. In fact, it’s not simply just musicians and artists, but content producers are a whole. I see content from Road & Track being copied and regularly uploaded to YouTube which ranks the video creating views and ad…

Bingo.

Yes. Considering it was on a pseudo humor sports blog. And I seriously don’t care if she believes it - Mexicans aren’t a race. Latin America makes fun of each other all of the time and for the most part, they believe what they say even if its in good fun.

Wouldn’t this be the same as saying “I didn’t even know American’s were that smart.”?

It’s not racist unless Mexicans, Jews, and Chinese are a race (which they aren’t).

I was about to “victim” blame myself, but I’m glad others had the same thought as I did.

I wish Chrysler tried to replicate the design from the ‘56 Imperial which was one of the prettiest designs to come out of Michigan.

No doubt about it. Their corruption rivals many destitute African nations. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a massive failure of socialistic policies than those of most Latin American countries. Shame.

No kidding. But then again, Venezuelans aren’t paying the taxes that Norwegians are paying. Say what you will about taxes, but if I’m dropping 40%-60% of my money into the state, I’m sure as hell not going to riot and destroy it - I’ll just go fishing instead.

Norway isn’t exactly prospering. The government was insightful enough to have created a massive reserve from oil (of which are partially owned by the government). Norway has to change its productivity culture soon otherwise its labor force will either be too expensive and not competitive, or simply unable to meet the…

At it’s core, yes - oil is to blame, but if its economy were more diversified and the government didn’t vilify capitalism, there’s a good chance Venezuela could’ve weathered the oil price fluctuations. Norway has a more mixed economy and though it had its worst year in 2015 since 2007, it managed to implement its…

That would ruin the best part of an Alfa Romeo - its immense depreciation that allows chumps like me a go at some great drivers cars.

Nice HFTRO reference.

Why the hell is this so accurate?

Many? How much is many? 2% 70% Do you have stats to back up this tired rhetoric?

God damn that’s good.

I know immigrant Mexicans don’t generally favor black folks, but not ALL the immigrant Mexicans are racist.

I’ve used this filter on an airplane upon takeoff. It’s quite fun. I don’t understand why someone would use a cellphone while driving - isn’t that against the law?

Rotaries have excellent reliability depending on their application. For my money, I’d rather have a rotary in a racing car than a piston. They are generally more reliable and you gain all of the advantages of a rotary on the racetrack than you would on the street.
