I happen to think that issues about what is aired on tv is very important. I wouldn't want to have to explaine to my kid at 5yrs old what viagra is used for, or what an erection that lasts for 4 hrs is..... It isn't nessesary at that age. And yes, Viagra commercials air when 4 and 5yr olds are still awake!! ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

This is the same group that broke the news on the enrichment plant which the EU just got Iran to stop producing enriched uranium in. So I guess one of their finds were true. [rply] "IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei wrote that "all the declared nuclear material in Iran has been accounted for" We are tlaking about new missle technology for nukes, not new cashes of uranium... ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Why, because we are discussing a RACIST cartoon!!! THat's what I thought anyway.... ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Apples and oranges on the tax vs. speeding. Speeding tickets are a penalty for breaking the law. The laws say for example: if you make 100K, your tax rate is 40%. You are allowed to donate money to charity and a deduction on your income will be allowed. I can chooses to donate or not. It is not a PENALTY if I choose not to. It is an insentive I AM not taking advantage of. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Sure... THink what you want.... And if you were black, you'd call Powell and Rice Uncle Tom's right? THat's what Sharpton and Jackson think.... And the Blacks they have brainwashed!!! Both of these people are the epitome of Success! ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

The Hypocracy of the NFL is disgusting..... Tagliabo was out there Crying foul when the ESPN show "Playmakers" showed NFL players in a bad light. Tagliabo succeeded in getting the show pulled from the air. Then they approve in an NFL lockeroom with an NFL player, this type of activety.... It is on the verge of being stupid. I have no respect for the NFL. And Don't for a minute pretend this was all ABC. The NFL knows exactly what is happening.... No cameras or players could be involved in this with out specific permission from the Commisioners office. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

What amazes me is how the Democrats and the Black community have done nothing but bash Powell and Rice. Rice grew up in poverty in Alabama, put herself through college and earned a Phd. A spokesperson and potential leader in the Black community. She exeplifies what hard work and determination can provide. As does Powell. However, the Democrats who like to say they are the party for minorities even though they have done NOTHING more than the Republicans have done for minorities, continue to bash this woman. Instead the Black community and the Dems push out people Like Jessie Jackson, and Sharpton as leaders, when if fact these 2 people are nothing but racists. IMO the black community should stand up and look around and see what the Bush administration is doing for their people. Getting them world recognition and helping pave the way for more diversity in Federal politics..... The democrats are not out to help the plight of minorities anymore than anyone else.... I wish minority groups would wake up and realize this. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

You could acuse him of driving under the influence and killing someone LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

WOW PK and me agreeing Anyway... Think about it Bill. THe constitution protect the right of innocent until proven Guilty. Therefore, since I don't like Ted Kennedy under the current law I could accuse him rape, and he would have to be removed from his position? Seems stupid to me. Oh BTW -- Nice spin on the title of this thread. You make me laugh sometimes. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

That is not PUNISHING me.... That is rewarding others.... Not the same, but nice try Also, donating to cahrity still cost me money.... It is not effectively saving money. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Dpesn't sound like it. " comprehensive bill that opponents charge could make many users of peer-to-peer networks, digital-music players and other products criminally liable for copyright infringement." Notice that they are bitching about "peer-to-peer" networks. also, "criminally punish a person who "infringes a copyright by ... offering for distribution to the public by electronic means, with reckless disregard of the risk of further infringement." Sounds to me like backing up is not a problem, but if you are passing out copies to people, look out. Also, wouldnt' you be pissed if some rapper took the most important 3 seconds of your song, repeated it, andmade millions without paying you a dime? yeah, I agree when sampling, royalties need to be payed... ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

The government cannot legally punish me for something I have not done. Example: Strange one... If one of a set of conjoined twins murdered someone, he could not be imprisioned if it was proven the other twin was innocent. THe innocent twin could not be punished for the crime he did not commit. Our laws regarding ones innocence overrules the guilty party in this case. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Fortunately this is America, where even stupid morons can get rich in the entertainment industry. Income does not necessarily correlate to intelligence. If you honestly think that Cher or Madonna are "fucking idiots, stupid, or morons", the irony of the statement is lost on you. Either of them probably make more serious business decisions in a week than most of us will make in a lifetime. It is pretty easy to be jealous of others' success. Back on thread topic: I don't think the opinion of a celebrity is any more valuable than anyone elses in this area, but I also think she makes some insightful points. WOW, so wealth prove intelligence... BTW - I am betting Cher and Modona don't make many business decisions... THat is why they have advisors for everything!!! They don't need to think, and judging by the comments they love to give to the media, they often don't!!! ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

You know what is sad though.... In many peoples mind, one bad thing does erase all the good. Many people have the view that 1 civilian casualty means the battle wasn't worth it. Look how far we as a nation have come over the last 60 years. We advance technology in weapons for many reasons, and one of those reasons in to minimise loss of innocent life. We are compassionate even during war. But many people don't see that. THe see our soldiers a murdering puppets and the US as an evil country.... It is sad IMO. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

That's specifically why the Fair Use laws exist now. So if they're trying to get rid of it, my guess is no. Than that is BS!!! This just promotes the industry to make shit quility products so we are forced to buy more!!!!! I call BS!!!! ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

I disagree with all of this (Surprise Surprise) If my Gandfather made money in some unethical way, it is not my fault and I should not be subject to Punishment on his behalf. Look at that show about John Gotti's Daughter.... THink the house she lives in was paid for with here $$$? Her father ran a crime family, and she is living off the return.... And he is dead. He, i don't think it is right, but the Government has no right to take it away. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Bad news IMO.... I have a question... Would I legally be allowed to make copies of music I purchased for back-ups? THe argument could be made that the CDs degrade through time, and I have the right to protect my purchase correct? ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

My other argument which I just PM'ed free_man with is this: He/she has made several posts as of late like this one. Post an article and say nothing.... no opinions.. nothing. This is hardly a discussion. Other people do it to, and I say what is the point. THis is a discussion thread... So, where does this person stand on what they just posted. I can copy and paste articles all day long, but without MY input, what is the point? Most of us here can read.... So, Free_man... I read your post and the ones before it, what is YOUR take? Not the Authors...Yours. I can't debate this with tthe autors who write the articles and stories you post.... Chris ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

No one is basing anything on jump numbers here.... This is SC. Now, if he was giving me canopy advise that would be different. By puting SOME info on there like name, location, age, it helps to understand the point of the person posting.... Trust me it does. Even just location. A political comment from someone in Brazil vs someone in Chechnya (sp?) May have a different meaning, or at the very least may help the reader understand what angle this person has on their story. Otherwise, looking at some of the post by this person over the past week, yo uwould be lead to believe this persons actions are quite troll like, and it doesn't help that there is no info in his/her profile. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

And that differs from a lot of what's on SC how exactly? Do you really think that posters saying "fuck the queen" is not looking to provoke outrage or discord? I realize the original poster doesn't have any profile information -- that reduces the credibility that he has. It's an interesting article, but probably slanted. Duh. But it's no more slanted than the stuff from the anti-MM sites, or than MM's work itself. Wendy W. Wendy, the term I used is due to the Many posts over the past few days.... Click on this persons recent posts and view for youself.... Call a spade a spade ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

THe difference in these two cases is that the "P" word you keep referring to is clearly stated NEVER to be mentioned. That is much different from the Troll word. Bill, how many times have you posted this: "Don't Feed the trolls" By doing so you are calling that person a troll and by doing so then are personally attacking them!!!! This is somewhat hypocritical IMO!!!!! ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Bill, Seriously.... this is a question. If I said Bill Von is a dictator, is that a Personal Attack? Or is just my opinion of your behavior? ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Still Bill I do not see the personal attack... I am calling this person what HH calles them based on his description. It is not slander or a threat. It is merely an observation. For instance I am white. or, this guy is a troll. Not an insult, just a fact. But what ever.... ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Shit.... I can't say short either... someone maybe offended. I bet PETA is behind all this too. Peta felt that the Trolls out there had feelings and should no longer be called such. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty

Hahahahaaa The day we had invaded Iraq we had more troops in Afganistan than we did 3 months prior, and 6 months prior to that...... ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty
