  Really, no one?

  I remember the old saying:
  In Communist Russia, your TV watches you.
  
  I guess now it is:
  In Democratic US, your TV watches you.

  I would love to say thank you for this interesting article, but I am afraid I would get sued. So, did they trademark it in Chinese?

  Sadly, I am transgender, so part of the whole "LGBT" group.
  So, this woman makes me so upset, to think I may not be able to observe my rights because she forgot that Jesus said not to judge others and to love everyone.
  She needs to read the messages Jesus gave again, because she missed them completely.

  Re: That $10 fine

  Just to let you know

  Sorry Timothy, I know this doesn't fit the story, but wanted to let you know I added your books to Goodreads.
  https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/3292479.Timothy_Geigner
  Since you are a writer, I was thinking to suggest you to join Goodreads. it is a good site, and I believe owned by Amazon, so could help get you more exposure.

  Timothy's gospel

  "Or, if you're lazy, just read everything I write and take it as gospel. Because it is."
  
  So Timothy, when do we get a copy of the full gospel? I am waiting to read it, and am wondering how you will make the begat parts funny. And no, no sarcastic troll face. I think you could make it funny.

  Re:

  Please feel free to show where he states he hates copyright. IIRC, he has even stated that copyright should exist, contrary to those like me who thinks it creates ultimately more problems because of abuses than it help.
  
  The most I have seen is Mike discussing his dislike of copyright abuse, not copyright enforcement.
  
  Personally, I will not go back to the US, and will stay in Taiwan, until the government gets its collective head out of its ass and starts enforcing the original "for the public good" copyright viewpoint, instead of allowing the **AA's to push their abusive views on the general public.
