Ooh, I know, I know!

Because unless the state is providing some sort of service to the entity from which you are downloading content, it should not expect to receive money from that entity. You know, things like roads, police, utilities, etc. That's what taxes are for, you know.

Unless that brick and mortar store is located within the state, then I hesitantly agree with you.

Perhaps our ideas of what constitutes "fair" differ. If "fair" to you is giving the state whatever taxes it legislates that you owe, then yes, that this proposal is "fair".

Be happy. be hopeful. Or shut up and let the rest of us be happy and hopeful.

Sounds rather like "You're either with us or against us... "

No, it sounds nothing like that. The latter is an exclusive statement, and a false dichotomy. The idea that several want to be happy and hopeful, and the (voting) minority want to be disdainful about the outcome of the election is in no way "for us or against us". I think you've intentionally misinterpreted that idea.

Can you name any country that has been "taken over" by Islam in the last few hundred years, that hasn't had a majority Muslim influence prior? From what I've heard, Qatar and the UAE are pretty secular/liberal. Besides, these all sound like characteristics of countries that have been "overrun" by Christianity too. Nice partisanship though. It has nothing to do with the original story.
