When guns are outlawed....
Now I don't know if this would be counted as off topic, I'm sorry if it is. I don't personaly understand the idea held by some that gun free zones somehow prevent crime. I assume that they somehow believe that if guns aren't allowed in an area any criminal that sees the warning will kindly... -
Aspartame linked to cancer: study
Now, I'm not just going to flat out say that those scientists are "wrong", however, I would like a few more details about how much of this substance was fed to these rats and over what period of time. For example, if these rats had to eat what would be equivalent to 4 pounds a day for a full... -
Is Downloading Music Wrong?
Your going off of the point I made. I'm not trying to justify it, to make it seem like it's not stealing. This point isn't even directed to counter a point you have made in the past. I am simply asking how the argument that an artist loses money from downloads can be made in this instance. -
Is Downloading Music Wrong?
I would like to make an example, to stress a point made earlier. Any music that I would download, would be music I would not buy. So tell me this, how am I making an artist lose money? I know this is simply a justification, I know that, but please tell me how the argument of money loss can... -
Is Downloading Music Wrong?
Actually, if I wrote a book and found out that someone bought a copy and was selling bootlegs, I would be fine with it. Do you want to know why? It would tell me that people wanted my book, and cared for my writing style. I would prefer to have money for the book; however, I would feel a... -
Is Downloading Music Wrong?
OK, you have answered whether it is legal. That really wasn't the question, it's whether you think it SHOULD be illegal. -
Is Downloading Music Wrong?
All of you have made very valid points. I would just like to say that in my personal opinion if certain artists can ok the downloading of their music and not be driven into poverty, then how can other artists say that they are being so hurt? I just don't understand how it is possible for... -
Is Downloading Music Wrong?
As I see it as long as a person is downloading music for their own enjoyment, and not to copy onto a disk and sell, it strikes me as 100% fine. Now, when you get into the issue of downloading music purely to copy and sell it, then that is wrong and should be illegal. When you download... -

Is downloading music wrong to you? Do you think that it should be considered a crime? Support your answer. -
Should the looters be shot site if caught in the act of looting?
For once I'm gonna agree with jamsrage, not on the issue but only on what he said. This isn't a matter of shooting black or white looters, its a matter of shooting looters. I would love to shoot raceists, but see that would be sinking to their level. Look at it this way, you are shooting... -
Should the looters be shot site if caught in the act of looting?
I can see where your comeing from, but Its ridiculous to make life and death descisions over a few posetions. Also, is the example we want to set as Americans "O well lets hold ourselves to one set of standards when it suits us, and another when that suits us"? -
Should the looters be shot site if caught in the act of looting?
Why shouldn't we shoot people like Martha Stewert? Why don't we kill blue collar criminals, they are stealing millions from companies, even billions. They are stealing much more than air jordans, why don't we just kill them all? Hell useing that logic, lets kill all people who download music... -
Should the looters be shot site if caught in the act of looting?
Ahhhhh, so in times of trouble we must abandon the rights that make up America? -
Should the looters be shot site if caught in the act of looting?
People still kill people, even though they can be given the death penalty.
