  The shill sees the world through his own distorted lens. Since he is paid to promote an agenda he naturally assumes that those who oppose him are likewise compensated, the concept of someone actually believing in something is foreign to him.

  Re: Re: Re: I think it's obvious

  If you can't make it in the free market as a writer/artist/musician/etc..., then find another job. The argument that the world is a poorer place because you can't make more money is meaningless.

  Re: Re: Re: Re:

  I used to wish for the edit button especially when I put a subject in and hit enter, I have come to realize though that no edit actually contributes to the conversations.
  
  People are forgiving of mistakes and most of the time no one even says anything, but no edit prevents certain people from going back and changing their posts when they are caught up in their lies and propaganda.
  
  So my advice is come to terms with no edit button and make the Preview button your friend.

  "If you are going to enjoy the product, you should be respectful of the artists that made it, not just assuming you can take it and enjoy it."
  
  I think you have inadvertently revealed your true nature.
  
  
  artists make art
  
  manufacturers make product
  
  If you consider what you create a product then don't force me to pay for it, that is wrong
  
  If you consider what you create art then you put it out there an hope that others will appreciate your creation and support you so you can continue to create.
  
  If no one supports you then either get a different means of supporting yourself or self select out of the gene pool.

  I prefer unspoiled. Sometimes I like to try to anticipate, sometimes I just am lazy and want to enjoy it as it unfolds, either way I prefer it unspoiled.
  
  Not that I'm going to freak out if someone spoils something.
