I wonder if the OP would feel the same about piracy if the CIA weren't involved?
42 feet makes little difference, dropping bombs is dropping bombs.
Did make me chuckle when I thought of those ads that claim "piracy funds international terrorism".
However, reverse engineering is not quite the same a pirating, but then that fact wouldn't suit the cause of the article's writer, would it?
As for illegal downloading, its getting something for nothing which is morally wrong, but the majority of people are inconsiderate and morally weak anyway.

Wish I coud just fly off to Spain right now.
You complain when F1 drivers act like sterillised PR robots, you also complain when they show anything close to natrual emotion or fail sometimes like real humans do (e.g. throwing a steering wheel in a fit of pique). Do most of you even like racing or are you just along for the reality TV show apect of F1?
The womens basketball, you ruined it for everyone. 
Just the one? :mischievo
£130 of TV license or watch British commercial TV, which consists of X-factor, Jeremy Kyle, the GoCompare man, Sky News or a talking Meerkat?
I'll take the license fee thanks, and yes I am paying for one. If you enjoy putting up with shit quality sensationalist TV and repeating annoying adverts every 10 minutes thats fine by me, the rest of you can be happy with your party with Mr Murdock and shut up 'k thanx bye'.
Theres no reason not to watch the BBC other than you're own tory self importance, its no more poltically corrupt than any other network and the entertainment is better overall.

If you include drag strips then theres also Shakespeare County raceway. Carnaby up North somewhere, Dundrod and the Northwest 200 if you consider Ulster to be British...

'I'm 12 years old what is this?'
Right or left, the popular attitude seems to be 'don't believe anything you see or hear, unless it appears on the internet'.
There are probrably very few people who know the full truth and nothing but the truth about the whole state of affairs, and none of them are us, some of them are probrably dead or hidden from the public eye or twist their account of the events for various reasons. Still, being mislead up dubious paths while believing you're on to something must be more entertaining than being totally ignorant, some conspiracy theories do turn out to have truth behind them after all. But to really get a true grasp of events I suppose, you have to be there in the backroom when its all happening. This is why historians can make a living out of disputing controversial historical events even up to now with all our communication technology and relative freedom of information, because the reporting still goes like Chinese whispers no matter which path the news spreads by. Think of all those hundreds or even thousands of people who recieved and reported the information before it reaches you, with all their personal agendas and beliefs and tendancies. The undiluted truth nearly always only exists on the consciences of those who were there, and the smallest unaltered detail can make a huge difference.
And so I reckon we're so far out of 'the loop', that none of us really have much right to pretend we're really onto something or talk down to others who we think aren't from such a great hight, for all we know we could all be well off the mark, and it'll be a long time before anybody can say that something is 'undoubtable' or that the case is closed, as many conspiracy theorists and politicians like to put it.
By all means read your news and be clued up on how current events are being reported from a variety of sources, but just because someone presents a wildly alternative view to what the mainstream are reporting dosen't mean you should blindly follow.
I only do this through boredom.

It'll have to be a bloody big step forward from 8, which was a crash-a-minute and slower than an opiated Sloth at the best of times.
Only just dawned on me XP is 9 years old now.

Not bad, not bad.
Feel sorry for the poor drummer who has nothing more to do than hit the snare. They're probrably miming anyway.

Made my palms sweaty just watching this. 
Good post. Reminds me of those photos from the 30s of the Empire State being built, all those workers having lunch on a beam hundreds of feet up.

"I'm scared by the power of your vagina. It can control whole armies. No, nations. The world!" 
We've known that the Blair government lied us into a war by exaggeration for about 7 years, its nothing new.
Individual research? What did you do it yourself? No you just copied it from blogs, zero points.
Lets remember that Opium demand and production is only so high because people continue to be stupid enough to get hooked on it.
