  Apparently, my facebook account was inviting people to join this group that I have never heard of. Usually, I'm pretty careful on the internet, that was a surprise to me. You can't exactly blame him.

  Re:

  Try using driving in your analogy instead.
  Without racing, do you honestly think that most people would speed in their cars all the time? Do you think they would pay for an expensive sports car to drive only at legal speeds?
  
  Yes. And it's not so much approving of piracy as it is trying to get the punishment fitting the crime. I mean, do J-walkers deserve to be amputated (so they can never j-walk again)?

  Re:

  Thing is, that happens daily, and with very little accidents. Everyone is conceited, yet because of that, they make sure they don't crash. You'll be amazed if you were in a taxi going into a tunnel in China. 8 toll booth lanes going into a 2 lane tunnel like a maniac. I'm sure if a crash happened there, all the other drivers would beat the crap outta whoever crashed.

  DEBAR!

  New rule: Any lawyer that files an extremely frivolous lawsuit gets debarred. We save tax dollars, job opportunities in the legal field is opened, and the lawyers don't need to worry about losing their source of income as they are already filthy rich.

  Value Comparision?

  What if a pay newsite had a ad-supported version for free? People would see that they would "save money", and won't mind the massive amounts of ads. You just have to disallow Ad-Block.

  Yea...

  I don't think Cali will ever do this. Because the Governator believes in getting driving more environmentally friendly cars. Won't get that with this genius idea. In fact, it'll lessen the price of gas for SUVers.
