stop paying the entertainment industry for drivel, and perhaps they will run out of lobbying money with which to buy politicians. that way they cant break the internet.

of course random acts of rebellion, theft, destruction of property, assassination, terrorism, and nuclear warfare against the entertainment industry is surely a viable alternative. but dont think of it as violence, think of it as surgery, were removing a tumor from americas genitals.

I'm somewhat partial to arson + diabolical laugher combo myself. But otherwise agreed.

Give them several warning castrations before you nuke them.

It's a good start

I really shouldn't say that... my sister is on her way to be a lawyer...

Lawyers. The most capable of covering ass and highly pesimistic and suspicious of others (surprised cops aren't more suspicious of people). We just need to separate the **** hops (bad lawyers) from the normal born (good lawyers).

So, we get a whole bunch of music artists of today and the past together. ALL OF THEM. We'll have them sing some crappy song. Media companies will be going for take down notices claiming bogus copyright ownership on youtube or any service that has the crappy song streamed.

This should separate any bad lawyer from good lawyer pretty good and get them all in one spot. The only problem with the modern day is something called internet communication and phone calls that **** up gatherings. So, we can't just lure everyone to one physical location and launch a nuke. I'm more for a hunting campaign where we maim bad lawyers via desacking (the one where the victim keeps their balls, just not the container).

Aside from that, we should perhaps give criminal lawyers a chance to prove themselves. After all, a good criminal lawyer is the one that's working for you.

This thread is interesting now. While we are thinking of this. Politicians and big corporations will seek to further making everybody live under unreasonable fear and make the dollar less effective as to make saving money next to impossible in the later future. Then again, there's really not much to do other than giving a call to a state senator, or signing a petition, and protesting. How great are we to do nothing more than make elected officials afraid of possibly not getting elected again. I understand at many times that's a great motivator for elected officials. But, even say one of them doesn't care about getting re-elected next term, they can still **** up a lot of **** in the mean time leaving us to think wtf else we can do that wont send us to jail for a couple of years because the above wasn't enough.

the problem with a 2 party system is that it encourages a follow the herd kind of voting behavior. it occurred to me some years ago when i started voting that neither side really sees it my way. i may agree with republicans on a couple points and the democrats on a couple more. and every politician i look into voting for might agree with me on a few points, but the items of contention always seem to outnumber the ones we agree on with any given politician. in the end i just started voting for whoever i thought would be most likely to launch nuclear weapons during the course of their time in office.

This why my dad stopped being a lawyer after 20 years. It really conflicted with him being a stand up guy. And he would hand pick the cases where he would work for the people who were in the right that needed a lawyer. After 20 years of that and those decisions that do change how much he made every month, he said **** it.

I don't see learning law as a bad thing (because it's of course not). But, there appears to be more crony lawyers than not. And even more crony elected officials than anything else. And also law enforcement that'll trick you into waving your rights (how scummy) and treat you as anything but with respect. Which brought up an interesting thought. What if all law enforcement people were required to pass the bar exam and take a manners/anger management classes?

But, don't cross a lawyer anyway. Most are smart mother****ers.

Anyone heard about TPP? According to Fight For the Future:

SOPA's supporters are pushing two agreements: ACTA and TPP1.  ACTA would criminalize users, encourage internet providers to spy on you, and make it easier for media companies to sue sites out of existence and jail their founders.  Sound familiar?  That's right, ACTA is from the same playbook as SOPA, but global.  Plus it didn't even have to pass through Congress2.

TPP goes even farther than ACTA, and the process has been even more secretive and corrupt.  Last weekend (we wish this was a joke) trade negotiators partied with MPAA (pro-SOPA) lobbyists before secret negotiations in a Hollywood hotel, while public interest groups were barred from meeting in the same building.3

Trade agreements are a gaping loophole, a secretive backdoor track that--even though it creates new laws--is miles removed from democracy.  Trade negotiators are unelected and unaccountable, so these agreements have been very hard for internet rights groups to stop.

But now the tide is turning.  Fueled by the movement to stop SOPA, anti-ACTA protests are breaking out across the EU, which hasn't ratified ACTA.  The protests are having an impact: leaders in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia have backtracked on ACTA.4  Now a massive round of street protests in over 200 cities is planned for this Saturday February 11th.
