Whats with this protesting European Patenting Stuff?
Calum:
sadly faust is 100% dead right.
because he is right, people like jeffberg will continue to dismiss the truth because its easier than admitting to themselves that they're a bunch of deluded selfish fucktards.

It seemed to me only stupid people didn't get a vote. (do u have an article to back this one up?)

most if not all of the software you use right now would be nonexistent or in a severely crippled form if the law which "doesn't affect" you had been in place for the last twenty years.
idiot.
Faust:
If you ever think something doesn't affect you then I hope you've considered that old story from Nazi germany:
"First they came for the trade unionists and I did nothing because I wasn't a trade unionist,
Then they came for the communists and I did nothing because I wasn't a communist,
Then they came for the jews and I did nothing because I wasn't a jew,
Now they are coming for me and there is no one left to help me."
(I tried to remember it as best I could, although I'm not sure about the historical accuracy of the trade unionist part. You get the point anyway I hope.)
We are all affected by people like Microsoft and of course the Lawyer Scum at some point in our lives, and if you don't care about other peoples rights then they won't defend yours.

I can't condone taking money from the people who have it and getting hald of it lost in uselss beurocracy. Then giving the other half to people who should get their own. Unions also bother me, they are designed to give the worker more over time, for doing nothing more. Small business people don't get paid more over time for no reason. I don't see why those people should.

I dont really have much to say on the original topic of this thread, everything has already been said. but the above statement... fuck you. you're probably sitting in a fucking 5 bedroom house with your fucking computer lab full of fucking $4000 apples driving your porsh to your job where you sit on your ass in an office and make $70/hr. fuck you. my mom works her ass off for 9 and a half hours a day lifting 70lb boxes of crate and working under very unsatisfying conditions. she makes $8.50/hour and raises are against policy. she gets no insurance of any sort, no retirement plan. she's 40 and has no stability, no money, and in a few days we're getting evicted because rent is $500 more than we have. You'll probably say, "why doesn't she quit? why not get a better job?" she always quits, she gets a new job nearly every year and this is the best one she's had since i was born. You have any idea what it's like to work your ass 5-6 days a week and have nothing to show for it? having to worry about whether or not your can have dinner tomorrow or if power will be shut off next week? I dont think it's the best idea to take money from those who make more... not directly at least by taxing them. they should simply get a paycut and others should get a nice raise. but that wont happen any time soon, so yes... tax the bastards (no offense to anyone).

What the fuck does bush have to do with how a greedy bastard runs his company? if you are meaning the minimum wage thing, that's just 1 part that i disagree with him on. minimum wage is fine where it is, some people actually do deserve to get paid little.
