That actually makes sense.

"We might stop worshiping veterans and start questioning if all the wars we're in are necessary "
1. It is respecting veterans. They do not decide which wars are just and which are not the voters and elected officials do.

Maybe but isn't a great thing that we have a peace loving president in the Whitehouse.....

I can shoot you in the head and kill you but I can not just intentionally blind you?

Actually it seems like a simple enough technical problem. When you go to fire the first burst is a range finder burst and then you set the power for the range. Of course this would all be done by the weapon and not the user.

"ad hominem" is not always a logical fallacy if the person expressing the opinion is some how has value added to because of position or expertise and is applicable when issues involving morality or ethics.
Musician that posts material that is offensive to a large segment of the population complains about the , tastefulness, morality and or ethics of getting a free album from popular band. That does seem to fit a valid use for an ad hominem based reply.
 

What negative social actions has U2 done?
It would be more like what if George Strait album showed up on my phone. A musical act that I do not really like but has done nothing extremely annoying or offensive.
I would just delete it and by on my way.

Put them on YouTube, DropBox and so on.

Maybe they are still hip and cool because.
1. They still have lots of fans.
2. They still get lots of airplay.
3. All the social causes that Bono and the other members of the band are involved in like Amnesty International.

Sure they are not cool and hip like Tyler The Creator with content and actions that push for social change like Homophobia and Violence towards women but they still have some fans.

You are on roaming data and you have not turned on "only download on wife"?

Hummm since that book is considered mature content I would say that it is not really the same thing.
What if they gave you a copy of The Hunger Games for free might be closer.

Funny that Tyler The Creator is complaining about his free U2 album and calling it an STD.

From the Wikipedia.
"Tyler has been criticized for his use of homophobic slurs, in particular, his frequent use of the epithet faggot in his lyrics and on Twitter.[31][32] He has denied accusations of homophobia, stating, "I'm not homophobic. I just say faggot and use gay as an adjective to describe stupid shit,"[33][34] and, "I'm not homophobic. I just think faggot hits and hurts people.""
And
"Tyler has also been criticized for his graphic depictions of violence against women and his misogynistic lyrics.[39][40] Brent DiCrescenzo of Time Out Chicago writes that rape is a "predominant theme" of Goblin[41] and Hermione Hoby of The Guardian writes that Tyler's "rape and murder fantasies (are) graphic enough to send the vomit rising along with the bile."[42]"
It kind of goes on and on.
Frankly this guy hating on U2 is like having the Grand Dragon of the KKK saying that he hates you for your stand on race relations.

Because the ISPs already have used "Big-Government" to get paid for rolling out "broadband" service, preventing muni ISPs, and any number of other regulations that benefit them.

You worry about big government but we pretty much already have all the worst parts of government regulation with none of the benefits.

It was a typo/brain fart. I though it was the American Amateur Radio, I remebered it was the ARRL right after I hit the post button.

Except that if you hurt yourself you are not breaking the law.
There are lots of safety rules. You have to obey the regulations.

I am not just talking about Amature radio but FCC licensing. That includes TV, Radio, Public service bands, HAM, and even wifi. The power regulations and frequency regulations are mostly in place to keep you from stomping on everyone else. AARL has a special relationship with the FCC that allows them to do testing and have a large voice in setting the rules for HAMs. But HAMs are a small section of licensed users.
Frankly AARL works on the notion that someone that makes the effort to study and pass the tests will not do anything hyper stupid like highjacking a TV stations band. Frankly much like the EAA the AARL seems to do a good job with keeping the dangerous idiots out.
But what I said stands. The licensing is about interference. If you hurt yourself you will not get a visit from FCC but if you interfere with someone else you could get a visit from the FCC

The key would be how many places had mag strip first. Brazil is moving faster now than 10 years ago.
