...in this case a million deadspace minutes....

Let's see, wealk into store, go to clothing section, see signs saying "SALE!"

You are a fucking moron, not a sheep like I thought at first

EXACTLY!

This nonsense is just accelerating the trend of total disrespect for authority of any kind. Those in power never pay for their crimes, so why should anyone care or obey anything they say?

Why do kids and other people hat e the cops and distrust them? Look to stories like this, same with teachers and other authority figures...

Perhaps if the school hadn't been a bunch of asshats and called the cops, and if the cops hadn't been useless a-hole bullies and used absurb crime designations, this situation wouldn't exist...

Parents had every right to bring this idiocy to light

Imagine if the students had intended actual mayhem instead of silly "graffiti"...

Because a 14 year old that did the equivalent or pray-painting graffiti is a much safer "collar" that stopping real criminals out on the street....
THe story is another example of why America is a laughing-stock...

Sometimes, yeah. Now go be a good little consumer and buy what the TV and computer tell you to...

Funny, never seen or heard an ad for "Falls Creek" jeans and slacks on TV or radio, just on the shelf in the store, nice try though

Such a cute little sheep you are,

Wow, pretty narrow view there. I use advertisements mostly as a "what not to buy/who not to do business with" gauge. Sorry to hear you have sucj a weak mind that you buy whatever they tell you to ;)

I do use ABP, so it's not an actual issue for me with YouTube, but ABP doesn't block all ads everywhere...

Too bad your opinion doesn't count...

I didn't agree to view ads, why should I?

No legal requirement, so no obligation either.

Didn't cable TV start as "Pay money for TV with no ads and no censorship!"

We all KNOW how that turned out....

Pay to get ad-free videosa (assuming Google gets the content owners to agree to it)

OR

Pay nothing and ignore the ads/use them as guide of who NOT to buy from....

Hmmmmm.... tough choice (NOT)

Yeah, so?
And I presented a fix, so I don't see what your point in quoting the evil plutocrat is...

... the whiny bitches in the "Espionage" field in the US aren't using it to protect against non-US spies as well, right?
