Fairly sure this constitutes piracy. I'm not sure on the copyright issues with national anthems, but surely recordings themselves would be protected?

Why wouldn't the organizers just ask each country's organization for their national anthem in any case?

Baffling, just baffling.

Those same idiots will scream even louder when someone really does blow up something and the cops ignored it because of these protests.

Actually, I don't think cops are that dumb... But if they were, that's how it would go.

Yes, because terrorists have a real tendency to tweet about the attacks they're going to commit.

Man, I guess all those statistics, forecasting and modeling classes econ majors take are just extravagant lectures on how to con people. Thanks for setting us straight!

Yeah, I *hope* those completely unbiased print newspapers that provide me with the news the second they happen and offer completely relevant information while not charging me any money don't ever disappear.

6. The moon has always been an enigma, where did it come from? To this day there is no agreed answer except perhaps that God created it and placed it there on the fourth day of Creation.

Oh, I see, it's all so clear to me now. Praise Jesus!
