You’ve all had some very interesting answers for my last post so here is a question for you, how do you think about copyright in general and should it exist?
I’m in my 20’s and I consider myself a complete ignorant, in the sense that whenever I make a decision I always think “What would the future me do if I had more experience/knowledge?”...
“Accept that you’re not attractive for most people and stop looking for love in high school. It won’t happen.”
“Cultivate friendships as the most valuable and close relationships to aspire to. Romantic love can happen, but it’s extremely unlikely. Search for your fulfillment elsewhere.”
Whats the point of writing prn, f@ck, sht or anything like that instead of the actual words? You can still read them, its not like they are gone if you replace a letter or two.
Sorry, it’s not true. A proper expletive conveys the precise emotional state and the unwillingness to preserve forced politeness, because one doesn’t feel the need to appease others, or because the situation doesn’t warrant it.

So I have a born again christian family member in their mid twenties who stated with complete confidence that there is a dome in the sky called the firmament and beyond it is where heaven is.

Creationists denounce those who believe in ID as atheists
Utterly false. ID is a “wedge strategy” to insert creationism in science teaching and law making.
I think we should push religion to be more progressive, and bring them closer to everyone else’s reality.
I think we should cut totally any influence of religion in education and politics. And then use education to help believers realize themselves that religion is nonsense and that they should drop it.
“Push religion” is leaving space to religions to be considered acceptable ideas. That space should be reduced to zero by exposing its absurdity.

Thirty years ago today, Demolition Man first hit theaters, pitting Sylvester Stallone against Wesley Snipes in a crime-free but killjoy future where even minor vices have been declared illegal.

One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural...
The reason they give the Bibles away is because they figure that knowledge is power and they don’t want to force people to have to spend money they don’t have to be able to read the Bible.
I want to choose when (and if) I read bullshit, thank you very much.
They’re really lousy for critical reading, though. I like the ones from United Biblical Society, with maps and appendices. They’re good for linguistic reference, and they add titles and illustrations.
Just like everything Abrams, Kurtzmen [sic] , and Orci touch.
So true. They managed to destroy a show like Sleepy Hollow, with a glorious premise and excellent casting, to the point that the main actress bailed out.
Politics are pretty bleak. They will not be solved by dreaming of nonsense about singularities, omnibenevolent AIs, “heaven on Earth”, or colonization of other planets. Most likely nothing of that will ever happen.
should anything be copyrightable?

Why are people censoring "bad" words?
