  Norway might be an option, even keep dual citizen ship given these requirements.

  Re: Re: "all the technology is there" -- But the morality isn't.

  Saw this on the anime series One piece episodes. Sums this up nicely.
  
  I can say "Please stop distribution of this once licensed" but seeing how it already licensed, that is retarded.
  
  So instead I'll say please support the series and buy the dvd when its released.
  
  
  Same applies to every artist. What I would give to live in a voluntary society.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: No free speech here on TD

  A wry difference is that here you see very little Democrats-vs-Republicans crap, because if there's anything that most Techdirters (including the authors) can agree on, it's that nobody likes the government in any form.
  
  Also not true. We don't like abusive government.
  
  Now the user base can correct me if i'm wrong on this but I think the majority here is people that actually come up with solutions to issues through debate (regardless of the intelligence of it).
  
  And furthermore and more on point that we don't look for a higher power for answers to things that our in power to rectify or evolve.
  
  So, governments are a detriment to society in my humble opinion. Yet we still keep on giving power to a bureaucracy we know has failed us over and over... I think the conversations that resonate the most, the following goes to Mike & Jenn the most, Are the ones that actually have an idea that we can all accept and furthermore do something about as a community that has a direct stake in what affects them.

  Chris in Utah ( profile ), 13 Aug, 2013 @ 11:41am

  The problem with industry is that the tax breaks they were so fond of receiving to line there own pockets go bye bye when they attempt to bite the hand that feeds them.
  
  And I second the "What's below Naive?" sentiment from out of the blue.
