  1. Well the rate is up from last year, its actaully down from where it was a few years ago.



  2. You're welcome. Since nobody else has said anything so far - what about all those potentially lost jobs?
  3. What do you mean? Your post wasen't really clear.


  4. If it was the other way around libtards would be up in arms.

  5. You said "just let companies fail". When a company fails, wouldn't that mean jobs are slashed?
  6. Opportunities lost to further create jobs to add to that - in addition jobs lost to cover and progress with those opportunities.


    What are people's thoughts on this?

  7. I agree with the idea that Zappa is talking about in the video.
    I myself leave in a country where one faith is forced on all people. It's terrible.
    I don't think it should be the government's job to censor stuff, but it should be the people's. You don't want your children to hear something, then don't play it.

    On the other hand, when there is a public media organization, whether it's public radio, public tv or something like youtube, the responsibility is also on that organization's shoulders. You should make it easy for people to know the kind of content you are about to show so that they can better control it if they want to.

    For example, YouTube could have special accounts that parents can create for their children, and limit it so that they can't see everything.
    Public TV and Radios already have their own rules about this stuff. I'm not against that.

    But music and music videos and most music channels are not public, you have to pay to hear/see/watch them, so the responsibility is on the buyer.

    In all of this, I don't think the government needs to be involved.

    What Zappa is talking about tho, is the plan to label music records with a sign saying they have explicit content. Again, I don't think this should be regulated by the government, but it is a good thing to be done by record companies, and it should not be based on ideological issues. It should only be labeled if it has certain curses and words not suitable for children. I don't think anyone would consider such words good for children in their right mind, and it doesn't make a difference what religion you're from.
    But if you are about to ban a book or a movie because it is about the holocaust and you don't believe in holocaust (one of the situations here in Iran), you are way out of line.

  8. Don't bother me. Some company's need to fail. The auto bailout was essentially union kickbacks.
  9. I'm getting kind of tired of southern European countries' shit economies. Maybe it's time to do some splitting between North and South before South drags North down.

    Too late
  12. Perhaps better late than never?
