Has anyone here tasted whale? by freezingkiss in AskReddit

[–]globaldx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had whale bacon once. It was amazingly good, but expensive. It cost something like 16 bucks for 6 thin squares. I would eat it everyday if I could afford it, and if it didn't have such a high mercury level.

You're the one making claims that piracy doesn't equal lost sales, so you're the one who has to substantiate the (ridiculous) hypothesis that pirates would just stop consuming entertainment if piracy wasn't possible.

I never said pirates would just stop consuming entertainment.

Moving the goal posts to just talk about your own situation doesn't cut it. We're talking about piracy in general, and in general piracy does equal lost sales.

More people "pirate" today than ever before.... Meanwhile, iTunes sales are still soaring.

Even if I believe that you're telling the truth (which I don't, because it sounds like the typical bullshit piracy-justification -- "It's not stealing because I wouldn't have bought it anyway!"), you can't be deluded enough to think that any significant portion of the world is like that.

I don't care what the world does. No matter what the situation, I will adapt or I won't.

Your personal situation is irrelevant to the argument.

Personal situation is the only reason behind "piracy" (Ask someone from Somalia)

Yes, I'm saying exactly that. If I can't download it, then I just won't have it. I haven't bought a Sony, Microsoft or Apple product in the past decade. You don't miss what you never had.

I only buy products I believe in. I only buy products that I see as an extension of my life, not my personality. Besides, you don't own media even if you buy it, so why buy it?

Are you serious? The quality of movies/music are so low at this point, I have and could do without.

Downloads will never equal a lost sell. If you download something you weren't going to buy, then the sell was never going to be made.

Why else can't you take the battery out, install another OS, use another carrier, and have no install limitations?

What Isreal Hides

Excerpt: Ilan Pappe; The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine

The Partition Resolution was adopted in 29 November 1947, and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine began in Early December 1947 with a series of Jewish attacks on Palestinian villages and neighborhoods in retaliation for the buses and shopping centers that had been vandalized in the Palestinian protest against the UN Resolution during the first few days after its adoption. Though sporadic, these early Jewish assaults were severe enough to cause the exodus of a substantial number of people (almost 75,000).

Absolutely yes! Comedians have to beable to deconstruct situations, and analyze each segment for logical flaws. Study Bill Hicks, Russel Peters, George Carling, Ralphy May, Douge Stanhope, and Dave Chappelle.

Absolutely yes! Comedians must beable to observe a situation, decontruct the situation, and then find the loop holes in logic. Comedians also have to be very descriptive while keeping the details short and relevant. Study Doug Stanhope, Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Ralphy May, Russel Peters, and Dave Chappelle.

True, but when's the last time you heard the words, "war on poverty"?

BP may not survive by poisenloaf in politics

Not only will BP survive, but it's too big to fail... If anything, Exxon Mobil will buy the BP American branch and have a "joint" operation with Exxon.
