  "People who are regular buyers of whisky are complete snobs about it."
  
  That's really not fair, some whiskey drinkers aren't even aware that bourbon is the most superior form of whiskies. Some even CHOOSE to drink Canadian Mist or even Beam's Eight Star, which are the voluntary waterboarding of whiskey drinking.

  And then you'll get detained for having suspiciously clean gear. If you have nothing to hide, why are you trying to hide things, comrade?

  Dude, you're feeding the troll. That is the opposite behaviour of ones that will make him stop trolling.

  Re: Re:

  Deliberately leaving one's filter bubble to encounter other views is the sign of a well-rounded individual. I don't think your comment was half as insulting as you'd hoped.

  So we should support the rampant abuse of civil asset forfeiture because it's legal? I mean, if legal = good and not legal = bad...

  To the best of my knowledge there is absolutely no truth to any allegations that Michael Roberts raped and murdered a girl in 1990.

  That's an insult to dogs everywhere. He's clearly a nutcracker doll brought to life by black magic.

  Cynical is technically a correct term, but realistic, accurate, prescient, and bleeding obvious would all work as well.

  I really don't think Nintendo should be the company to use as an example. They are notorious for losing their shit over ANYTHING. Nintendo is the worst company in the industry when it comes to copyright maximalism.
  
  (They're not the worst company all around though, they at least make good games that you can buy once instead of getting fucked with "DLC")

  Re: Faker than Fake

  Was your point that you should never let the government have a power that you wouldn't want the other party to have?
  
  If so, I think the Democrats are learning the shit out of that lesson as we speak.
  
  It's a shame for all of us that they're learning it via hindsight.

  Pretty sure that Sir Timothy "Fucking Invented the Web" Berners Lee might know a wee bit more about the issues than you.
  
  If you'd like to change that opinion, try posting something substansive.

  Re: Re: Lol

  I don't have any figures on console vs PC piracy, but console piracy is at least something which is common. From Pandora's battery on the PSP to modchips in Xboxes to softmods on Wiis to CFW and flashcarts on the N/3DS, or even the simplest of all, burning a cd for a Dreamcast.

  Re:

  You can always just set up a RetroPie system instead. From what I saw in the TASbot section of this years AGDQ, the NES classic is evidently not that great an emulator. RetroPie can do a lot more than just NES games too.

  Re: The Right Thing

  I find it truly hilarious that you continue to try to smear me by posting idiocy with a name crafted to appear to be mine.
  
  It just goes to show how little arguments you have for anything when you have to resort to deception.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: All in Time - Its about trust

  I'm not quite getting your point here, Roger. It is true that facts tend to have a left wing bias, but I fail to see what that has to do with the AC's comment of
  
  >thanks for puttin dat libcuck in his place
  
  >can you use a link that is not wikipedia? it has too many libfacts on there.
  
  nor with my proceeding comment pointing out that terrorist attacks in the US do not at all match the earlier AC's comment that the majority of terrorist attacks in the last decade have been by domestic white people.
  
  I backed my shit up with links. I await y'all's.

  Please note that that is someone using a name similar to mine to try to appear to be me. As the Trumpa Lumpa would say, SAD!
