[quote who="NHeerDesign" reply="9" id="1975941"]Holy incomplete argument, Batman. Your first point is something that both of us can agree on. People comparing weapons of immense power to a 7-round pistol is flawed, to say the very least. However, that's where my agreement with you ends. Talking about guns without bringing gun crime into the argument is silly. That's like talking about why we should ban alcohol without talking about any crimes that include alcohol –

[quote who="stevendedalus" reply="22" id="1973871"] Refusing to budge on the contract is cutting off their nose to spite their face.What you mean by refusing to budge, like Sen Corker, is burn the contract. The zealous bludgeoning of unions will eventuate total loss of workers' rights which is okay with you until down the road it will infiltrate every industry while the laissez faire extremists return to 19th century exploitation.[/quote] Then those companies

Reply to PC Game Piracy Examined in PC Gaming PolMach Forums

[quote who="Tamren" reply="1" id="1973134"]Good article. The only real argument that pirates can come up with is that piracy is fun and free. That doesn't stop it from being a crime. And what they all seem to forget is that the less they support the game developers, the less games we will have to play in the end. I have high hopes for Impulse as a competitor to Steam but I do recognize that Steam is a viable model as well. Steam is a phone home internet activation system, but it bu

[quote who="EL-DUDERINO" reply="1" id="1973374"]People keep on saying that print is dead but I don't think that is completely accurate. I think that people are just getting sick of the biased news that they get day in and day out. Why pay for a subscription to read the same biased "news" that you can get for free online. I am a firm believer that if you make a product that people want they will purchase it and I think too many print magazines and newspapers simply aren't doi

O MY HOW DIDNT I FIND OTHER STUFF POSTED HERE OUTSIDE OF POLITICS! Heres my take. Global warming been going on from the time the earth was born. Its a cycle. We will see 10 or so years below avg temps and it will be colder.... then 10 -20 years form now it will seem and be warmer than avg. All this is is a money making machine. Installing fear in people makes them want to change and that change cost money.

Regardless of your views, the automotive industry cannot fail in this economy. The free market is unable to compensate when the global economy is failing. I seriously hate Republican politicians now.
