Couldn't give a toss where you live. Follow the rules of this site. Plain and simple.

Communism:

It is supposed to be a form of government where everyone is equal. Everyone gets the same salary, everyone has the same type of house. It's kind of like 'suburbia.' The government is made up of a single dictator, like the Fuhrur (spelled wrong) of the formerly Nazi Germany, that controls what goes on the media, and what goes out in the public. Communism is widely frowned upon in Democratic governments because it shuts down our Bill of rights. There is no freedom of speech or press. There aren't that many freedoms at all to be honest. Cuba, China, and a variety of other Asian, African, European, and South American countries are communist. The SIPA is basically violating the Bill of Rights, which allows for freedom press. I was merely making a comparison between that lack of that particular right in communist countries and what could happen in the US. If the Bill of Rights is violated, we honestly won't be able to call ourselves a Democratic country anymore.

Yeah, I know nothing about Communism.

How did this conversation come from me saying I'd move to Cuba if this passed? And why does everybody have a problem with that? You can yell at me for not following the rules, but NOBODY can make my choices for me. If I move to Cuba (which I'm not going to do because I was JOKING), it's none of your business. You don't and can't control where I live.

Had nothing to do with Cuba. You called Sly a "dumb@$$".

That conversation with Sly ended with that, and it moved to you with the whole 'follow the rules' thing. If you really look, it all started with:

Me and Sly are pretty much the loud-mouthed-hates-everything-and-everyone-spammers of the site. I bet he doesn't even care. I wouldn't.

prowl123 wrote:Yeah, I know nothing about Communism.

And how do I know you didn't just look that up after I called you out on it?

Also, while the US might enact a bill that would be similar to something used by Communist countries, (Despite not actually being a tenant of Communism) that doesn't exactly mean moving to a Communist country is better because you kind of forgot about the economic aspect.

That doesn't actually make it okay. In fact, that you do it knowingly makes it worse.

I'm moving to Britain.

Then you didn't get the joke.

I'm not moving to Cuba, dumb@$$. I'm going to Australia.

I don't give a flying s*** where you're moving. I'm moving to Britain anyway.

Would I have spelled the German leader guy's name wrong if I had?

I'm not saying it's okay. That's the way I am.

And enough of this flame war ****. I just made a freaking joke about Cuba!

Well, seeing as you intentionally spelled it wrong, yes.

"It's just the way I am" does not justify anything.

It's not about your Cuba joke, it's the way you act towards other people.

I'm a social outcast/emo/goth/weird kid! What do you expect?

I'm done with this argument, thank you very much.

prowl123 wrote:I'm a social outcast/emo/goth/weird kid! What do you expect?

First off, I expect you to learn the difference between Goth and Emo.

Second, I expect you're going to have to grow up sooner or later. You can do it yourself now, or Life can come in and make you grow up the hard way.

I've seen the hard way. It's not nice, and I know for a fact people have died from it.

Emos are sad all the time, Goths aren't. Also different preference in clothing and music. And Goths don't cut themselves.

Can we not argue over this crap when there's something far more important to talk about...like this act, maybe?

Okay, the 'life is gonna make you grow'-thing is a little too 'ol' timer knows all' for my tastes. It's like a 75 years old shaking his kane at those damned youngsters to get the heck of his lawn.

/Damn kids.

Please get this back on topic or I'm closing this.

This sort of **** pisses me right off. I'm all for companies being allowed to protect their property from some dodgey back dealer burning off thousands of copies of their movies/music in some shed in China, but this is taking it a step too far.

It annoys me no end when you find something online that says "this video has been removed because it infringes copy right". Its no different then watching something on TV or listenign to it on the radio. People can easily record it from tv and watch it over and over again, sharing it with their friends, but something that has been on tv and I only want to watch once, I can't because flicking it online is naughty?

As for politicans, they're always passing laws about **** they know nothing about.

The government's a bunch of dumb stooges.

Is anyone going to say anything else about this?
