In actuality, the problem is that they want you to pay for the things you don't like as well as those that you do. Piracy isn't destroying creativity/innovation, copyright/patent and unmitigated laws/lawsuits are. I often wonder how far we would have come if there were no patents or copyrights. Seems to me that only those things that are driven by money remain and those that don't or aren't don't get made into movies.

Mod this +1 more. This is exactly how those in charge now will lose + the defectors that don't want to kill their own families.

Lesson learned? One does not simply write vb code into a robot!

Son, if anyone in his right mind thinks that voters did "not come out of the woodwork" because he was even perceived to be a little bit black, anyone would be deluded. The only change that was promised was "it ain't whitey". God Damn I hate every one of you for thinking otherwise. When did this stop being a country of ideology and start being a country of nascent race. No white man would have ever been able to pull off the level of bullshit this man didn. You know it, I know it. They don't know it. Sotomayor anyone? Say goodbye to your civil rights all in the name of the good cause.

I too would like to apologize to all the dead people. I am sorry that I let democrats take away your right to defend yourself and kill you by depriving you of your second amendment rights, and your dignity just because your state representatives happened to be democrats. I am so sorry that so many policepersons stood by while democrats cozied up to hysterical soccer mommies, allowing them to send your rights into the null and void of irrelevancy, and helping them kill you. I'm sorry that democrats are such nice and cozy people, and that we've allowed them to destroy our country due to a need to control the populace so that they themselves don't have to die when accountability comes due. It's about time that more peple started saying things like this. It's our nation, and our world. On the line here. I know I'm neg-karma but ideology doesn't help in a police state. Congratulations America, apathy is our new anthem.

...and I once again look like an ass. We should remember that those at nasa aren't good at technical shit. That would be .tiff and not .tif for those less fortunate souls that really wanted the big pictures.

Perhaps one more for the conspiracy theorists. Oddly enough the .tif file cannot be found. http://esamultimedia.esa.int/images/marsexpress/455-20091201-5870-Close-up_of_Phobos-04-PhobosDeimos_H2.tif

If you were a lawyer you wouldn't post here because letters form sentences that are copyright works.

Hence the reason to not let them take our 2nd ammendment rights?

You had to create a new user ID because you had no spine to be unheard. I do not. I have negative karma because I don't care about such things. You sir are a mouth without a cause. I will be the cause without a mouth. Socialism is for the weak that can't, patriotism is for those that will regardless of the consequence. Remember that anonymous(e). Those that are sheep eat, those that aren't eat well.

...and the democrats will be credited with the "economic recovery" even though they had nothing to do with it. Inevitability has had its consequence. When will voters get the clue that the polititians themselves are to blame for our ills? I suppose democrats must take credit where credit is due, after all they started this, I suppose it's fitting they claim the finish.

Fuck you're a nutjob! OK, listen up, the reason I like to carry a gun is because a cop is too heavy. Have you heard that one before? How about this one? When seconds count, a cop is only minutes away. My original sentiment stands. I don't vote becaust things like ACORN happen and I don't matter anymore. You don't either for that matter but you're just too disillusioned to see it. Actually I did vote for the first time in my life this last election. It will be my last (see ACORN). See, what happened in my case was that my vote got disqualified. Why? Government agencies don't talk to each other perhaps? I registered with my license. Why would that happen? Fraud perhaps? If the system didn't work for me the first time, why should I trust it the next? How about an analogy? Microsoft couldn't be made to behave via the government and they are only now doing so due to consumerism. How's that for an analogy? You're a complete and utter fucktwit and everyone reading this may think I am as well but there exists one difference between you and I. I believe in America and you believe in the estabilished system. I win because the country and it's people win out in the long run because of the guns, not despite them. I'm rather glad that I angered you into incoherency. LOL, I win.

Thank you. I think you meant to reply to the reply to me though. +1 insightful

You keep voting strategically and I'll keep my ammo. Explain the drive to more laws about gun control. Are these FRINGE topics? Ask a criminal. Politics is not about compromise, politics is about power. Voting may be about compromise but politics certainly isn't. I hate people like you, you're the reason that we're in the position we are. People like you value looks above ability, thought above reason, ideology above reality. How long do you suppose that this country can sustain itself with voters such as yourself given what comes into power? Tell me about compromise when you are looking at the hole in the barrell of a gun and you aren't in control of what happens next. Patriotism only goes so far for ones country when the tyrant is in power, then it's just subservience. No I do not speak of the current administration, though I do take umbrage with the fact that everyone seems to call the President "African American". He's not, he's half. There is another half to that as well. Care to name it? I am not FRINGE because I don't vote. I'm FRINGE because I'll be the one that survives your sorry assed politics and has meat to eat on top of it. Oh, and by the way, there are no polititians that are CLOSEST to me ideologically. There aren't any to you either but you're too complacent to realize it. Keep voting democrat/republican/independent that helps things along nicely. Sooner or later it all evolves back to feudalism and anyone with a fair amount of sense realizes this. Now would you please die off and take the rest of those that think like you with you?

If I ever meet you in person I'm going to slap you in the mouth. I'm seriously getting tired of people thinking that just because I have a southern accent I'm stupid/ignorant/retarted/racist/superstitious/(insert southern moniker here). The funny thing is that I have yet to meet someone from Minnesota that is friendly, I suppose it's the cold even though I lived in Maine for a bit. It seems a bit odd to me that you folks like to come down here and buy up property like there's no tomorrow and take over the local government to implement you're "it's for the children" laws and yet you can't stand us here dumb rednecks. As an aside, there are several posters from other countries below saying:

Yet we tend to bail out the rest of you when you get into trouble. See World War Two history for references. Thank you and have a nice day.

It's non-native by the way. Oh, and have fun while they take away your liberties. Did I use your right? By the way, literacy has little to do with speech. Being able to say your, you're and their, there and they're have relatively little to do with being able to correctly spell out the same thing. On second thought, I'll slap the Minnesotan and shoot the other two! At least we're Americans. Asshats!!!
