Why are you on the Internet? Honestly, what the hell is the point? Because you have access to free content? Everything should be free right? Concerts, rent, food, phones, school, porn, research material, studies, balance sheets and the list goes on forever. Get over yourself. You're contributing to the biggest issue facing our economy.

The reason nobody did anything about 9/11 was because they had forums to go and post on. Same reason nobody does anything about anything else. They hope they'll change somebody's mind because they feel powerless. FFS people; if you can't find something offline then demand it. Why should your research material be free? Why should news be free? Why should newspapers cost more than two dollars per paper? Gee I dunno, maybe because you perpetuate the problem by searching for it online, therefor decreasing supply and increasing demand. So many lost jobs because of lumber and the jobs that used to take in lumber money.

Disgusting. "Can I find it on iTunes or in the App Store?" Are you kidding me? You wont be able to buy a CD anymore if we keep going like this. And I was admitted to a psych ward because all the rhetoric in my defense is ONLINE. People argue about everything online. You have as much influence as a fart in a windstorm.

Go do something with yourself so the rest of us can. Jesus Christ.

If you really believe in the words that you preach, get off your screen and onto the streets.

No, you have to do it too. Everyone does. The rich are hoarding their money and creating a seperate consumer economy for themselves. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

If you make a transfer of hard goods to some artificial database then you're literally destroying businesses and jobs and lives.

You got it wrong.

The internet is the main voice you and anyone has that can make a difference. It's why so many people want to censor it.

Just chatting with someone from China, or some other boogeyman country, does more than you'd ever be able to accomplish than without it.

This does not compute. My brain has already been wired directly to google's supercomputer.

Nine Eleven?

And that's also why Pearl Harbor happened. FDR was too busy posting on Twitter!

Lol!

Wrong. People on YouTube wouldn't have the influence that have or jobs even if people like you didn't constantly talk to them or watch their videos, or follow them or like their tweets.

But after Pearl Harbor there continued to be protests. Boycotts even. Nobody boycotts anything now unless their most trusted news sources tell them to. And they won't because nobody pays them! Nobody feels hurt when they're lied to because they have no stake in the informstion they're being given!

I don't really understand exactly what the OP is trying to say. Are the rich people that the OP is referring to those that sell things online and the people in the tech industry? Stopping using the Internet is not a realistic solution to the problem as it's very useful in many ways. Maybe the governments should impose very heavy taxes on them and on some others that are hoarding money. Or something like that.

I'm cutting WhiteWidow some slack: I'm impressed by how eloquently he types with his toes while his hands are wrapped up in that straitjacket. :mrgreen:

Also, it's a bit harder to take stock in this thread when one of his more recent posts on WP is about his favorite YouTube videos. It's just a troll, guys. :roll:

Yeah the trees are being saved, saved for more houses for immigrants. They're moving in at an extremely fast pace, taking jobs even faster because people like you and me and almost every other millennial doesn't read often, doesn't study often and doesn't want to work because they spent their four years doing bachelor of arts in political science.

They're willing to work for less and shack up with each other which is a bad thing, but that's what these countries have come to now! If you didn't demand everything RIGHT NOW and instead wrote to your companies, formed boycott action groups, and protested by boycotting everything Apple owned and related then we might have competition. Instead people are lining up for miles for the new Apple watch or phone. FFS! These people treat their workers like human excrement! The BBC has reported it multiple times! With pictures of their sleeping quarters! It's disgusting!!

What is so hard to understand that if you make teaching online free, teachers dry up?
