That guy is a trooper.

How he was able to hold the camera steady and not laugh is astounding.

This is good, keep it up.

EDIT: After listening to it all, you should have a definite intro and endtro. I left the podcast running in the background and was waiting for a little if there was anything more.

Well, what would you expect.

And to be fair, he WAS restrained in his retaliation. He coulda outright knocked her the fuck out if he closed his palm on that woman. The *SMACK* is clear to be heard that he slapped with the intention of her to fuck off, not break her face.

No thanks, I got mine sorted now.

Just gotta wait 10 days...

I hope they took into account that if it wasn't available online, I doubt everybody who pirated things would just buy it instead.

They did. They account for 20% of all downloads to be done by people who would've otherwise bought the product.

Ah fair enough then.

Wait a minute...that figure is only 20%?
Shit. That's a lot.

Ah, Government...

You make me laugh. What a completely spontaneous response.

There was a study a while ago saying that those who pirated heavily already buy tons of digital/ entertainment products far more than the average person. Now, that doesn't mean it's totally justifiable to do, of course, but I thought I'd throw that in there.

Also, where did the 12.5 billion revenue lost figure come from? I hope they took into account that if it wasn't available online, I doubt everybody who pirated things would just buy it instead.

I've pirated a lot of things, but in fairness a large quantity of these I then went out and bought legally after. I've pirated music, got interested in the artist and then resulted in me buying their albums. I've pirated games (mostly to test them on my shitty laptop), and then bought them because I know they can run well, and I get more features that the pirated version has restricted.

Now I won't justify my actions any further than this. By definition, I am a criminal.

Well, trespassing for one. Pretending to be in the military grants you access to bases (though I'd hope MP's or whoever guards the entrance actually check ID's...).

Then from trespassing, theft. Assuming you were able to get into a base, you could always help yourself to some fancy military hardware.

But we're not talking about gaining access to military bases. We're talking about wearing a military uniform.

Oh I'm sure looking the part would help you if you had the motive. Same as having a fluorescent orange jacket means unlimited power to the average person in most places, or having white lab coat can make you a scientist.

I bunch it together with impersonating a police officer, or anything that has authority. If you're going to impersonate them there is most likely a nefarious reason behind it.

Good man.

You have a right to vote as part of the democratic process, but you have a duty to use it to serve democracy it's purpose.

So many choices...

Either the Railway Rifle from Fallout 3, the Lancer from Gears, or the Meteor Strike from Destroy All Humans 2...it does what it says on the tin.

I suppose when it's for the greater good -"The greater good"-, then it can be justifiable to an extent.

However I fail to see how injecting radioactive isotopes into pregnant women even if it were consensual has any scientific value, at all. Also, the artificial blood replacement should have been consensual, and subjects notified of the potential risks. These examples are just bad science.

If these scientific experiments relied on not telling them it was a test (though you could always test false positives with placebos like normal tests do...) and were virtually impossible to cause psychological or physical damage to the subject, and that the test is explained to them afterwards, then unconsensual tests should be considered ok, though erring on the gray of morality.

Vegimite? Silly Australian shite.

Why not superior Marmite?

With all due respect, why would you openly disclose such information?

I know you have a right to do what you want with said information and being open about it to the right people certainly helps, but no matter what psychological or physical state I was in I wouldn't be so forthwith with that info, let alone making it freely availables to the likes of us.
