I respect the olive branch.
As do I.

David and I have buried the hatchet in private and now here in public. While it's probably safe to say we still don't see eye-to-eye on this subject (ya think? :D ) we can at least agree to disagree, and agree that peace is better than war.

Sorry to dissapoint any ambulance chasers out there who were sitting back with their popcorn and enjoying watching this train wreck of a thread :). You'll have to get your thrills from someone else now ;).

Thank you Terra, for putting me straight. I now understand that neither government nor anarchy are the answer. Oh, wait...

And thank for not stereotyping me and "my generation" the way I supposedly did you. Oh, wait...

And thank you for showing me that a person who claims on their own web page that the world is a doomed and dying piece of shit can tell another one that they are too angry. Oh, wait...

Anyway, you sure schooled me. I now know that even though human beings are too greedy and stupid to govern themselves, that there's a handful of them that still have managed to control the entire planet with impunity for several decades without anybody but you finding out. Oh, wait...

I guess I really learned something from this thread. Thank you, thank you, thank you; I just don't know where an inferior person like me would be without superior people like you to tell me which way is up. Oh, wait...

I feel so much better now. Nothing but grain alcohol and rainwater for me from now on. That's the only way I could hope to acheive the purity of essence that you have shown me is the way. Oh, wait...

And thank you for letting me leave this thread on the concilatory note I sounded without getting sucker-punched on the way out. That's very mature of you. Oh, wait...

so the thing is Glen, some people do fit stereotypes and some don't. That's where they come from, not just out of thin air. It's just a bit of a taste of your own medicine so to speak. You are quick to judge everyone else using nothing other than stereotypes which have not actually been proven to be true. I am including you in this stereotype because you fit it, to a tee, with the words you say. If you don't fit it, you might want to re-examine the way you allow yourself to come across. Your words are very akin to the white middle aged suburban middle america, and you know, funny enough, I see an unreal ammount of people from that walk of life that read from the same script as you, carry on in the same manner, have the same belief systems, and same attitudes, and social problems. There is ususally not a bit of deviation at all. There are plenty of exeptions ,but the amout of people who fit that stereotype are alarming. And well, you never said anything about my "generation" I personally think relying on things like your "generation" or even relying on the political climate (regardless of reality) that surrounds you, shows a lack of conviction, inablity to think complex situations that aren't pre-worked out and explained to you, and a abscense of self realization. It's the lazy way out.

Regarding my bands webpage that you are referring to. Show business. Think about that a little bit. :) I'm quite a nice, easy going guy to be perfectly frank with you. Yes, I do believe the world is a sorry place, but..."Show Business". . . . I'm actually a very positive, peaceful person, who just feels a little to much, I guess I could say (should I not say this? Glen might turn it into an insult somehow...hmm).

Told you a hundred times Glen, It's not really a conspiracy. If you have enough money and power, you can do virtually anything you could ever imagine. It's just a bunch of fucked up greedy sons of bitches who use their friendships that they make in their little power scouts club to bend the world to their way. It's never been elaborate, or all one big mass...Masonry is just exploited often to make these bastards more in control every day, and FYI not decades, try almost 2 millenia. It's nothing new...read up on things called the hellfire club, the thule society. Neither are conspiracy theories... They are documented and even publically accepted history.. but of course as modern humans, we learned our lesson and play by the books now because we are so advanced now compared to these primitive people lol. People have always been people, and regardless of race, religion, or even the period of time we lived, we're all the same. It's nothing new. It's never been all that secret, some of it is even freely available knowledge. And anyway, a lyric from one song I wrote, I think might sum up what I mean about their real control. "It's not control, without thought control." They don't control the world, they manipulate people with disinformation, religion, and money issues, into willingly giving them the power and money they crave. Read endless quotes of very successful rulers, emperors, politicians, etc. Control the minds of people and you control them. I'm not talking literal mind control. I'm talking about conditioning via disinformation and other propaghanda (no, it's not only the "bad guys" that are capable of propaghanda, we all do it too) They control whatever they are given control of. And to be perfectly frank with you, they can't control anything untill they control your mind...then they can control the world, becuase it's given to them. It's just how there is this message of give up your personal freedoms so we can protect you from the big bad enemy who wants to shoot your family. You understand?

I am superior in some ways, as no doubt you are superior in different ways. You do have some pretty debilitating social problems in the way that you conduct yourself to others, that no doubt if you display them enough could have a very ill effect on your life and your career. I have my own shortcomings, that I consistantly work on improving, in order to become more of a completed human being every day. You should always look for ways to improve yourself. The second you know everything, you actually know NOTHING. Understand?

the next one was pretty funny, kind of made me smirk... grain alchohol and rainwater *chuckle* No sarcasm. that just sounded hillarious when I read it. Will have to note that for future hillarity in language. It'll make me the life at parties, do you think?

and finally. Nope you didn't. You insulted all the way. You didn't gracefully bow out, you threw little insults in intertwined with your let's not fight. What do you expect in return if you insult people's charactor and beliefs?

As I've said to you before about your attitude... just...stop.... don't be such a jerk, open your mind, learn, grow, and respect others... it'll make your life so much easier, you'll learn so much about people and what they believe and in some circumstances, what they know, and you'll have a lot of an easier time getting your views accross to other people, and if they have validity (most people have at least some validity in at least one of their views), you might even sway more people to your viewpoints. No one listens to an angry bull after all.

So while you're being true to yourself which hand are you using?

The simple fact is you are sitting there lying to us which is kinda of normal for thieves. The lying and stealing go hand in hand.

The simple fact is you can afford to buy the software as you say you are a professional in the computing field. You are simply too selfish to pay others what is due to them. You find it easier to steal it. That doesn't make you a winner. To the contrary, it makes you a loser.

Simple, simple simple, so simple a blind man could see it.

You obviously have first hand knowledge of my bank account, my visual impairment, intelligence, and my obsession with stealing candy bars at the local quickie mart. Anything else that needs to be brought to my attention?

Trying to kill the messenger is probably the poorest of debate tactics. Probably why so few of your posts are replied to.

In my posts I stated my case. Who cares if you agree? The truth goes on being whether you agree with it or not, eh?
 
"What we gonna do today, Brain?"

"Same thing we do every day, Pinky. Try to take over the World!"

:D I loved that show. They don't seem to rerun it these days.

Funny, I'd say exposing your credibility is very supportive in a debate. Kinda like laying a foundation. It's not my fault you don't have any.

So why in this post of yours do you resort to the so called poorest of debate tactics?

I guess I'll have to add you to my fan base of one too. Thanks so much for reviewing all my posts.(<--sarcasm in case you don't see it)

I don't expect you to care because you obviously don't know how. You have to care about yourself before you can care about others. If your letting yourself be a liar and a thief to the point of professing it to others on the net, you appear to not even care about yourself.

By the way, I'm not trying to kill you, just pointing out the errs of your way. I'm praying you do some introspection, repent and ask Christ for forgiveness. Then maybe you'll find some truth in your own heart.

Shit, why am I not ignoring you? :p

I've been relatively kind considering the highly incorrect things you've posted. And might I remind you that you can't just say anything you want about someone. Call me a software pirate, I'd fit that definition. The rest is conjecture, and on a public forum conjecture that harms a person's reputation is slander.
 
I'm sure you're confused about what slander is, but that's not important. Didn't you ever read the Bill of Rights?

If you're worried about the reputation of your anonymous persona on an internet forum, that probably says more than any 'slander'. :)

This thread will not die until the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone :eek: :rolleyes: :p
 
I think if you make money whith the sofware buy it
bud if you don't make. how you can do to pay this money?
I think companys have to be more flexible with begginers and studets because they are his future.I was using logic from the 3.7 version(alwais stolen) and now I buy logic pro because is the program a was alwais using.
More users make a program bigger and is not the fist time a brend make his own crack to do unthenground marketing.
I remember for example Playstation 1 was a best seller because you can copy the games
In a better world people would pay wat they can proportionaly no wat things cost in money
 
Talking about for example Logic pro......
I dont think 1000$ are the same for Steve Jobs than for a student :p
 
And How many Ipods apple can sell if people don't use stolen music?
Is so curious the same company is faithing against piracy and(indirectly)making money with piracy :confused:
 
My day job is designing consumer electronics. Most companies don't make any money on the hardware, they make it on content. So when you talk about title sharing as a good thing because it drives hardware sales, it just doesn't work that way. Hardware is often sold at or below cost from the manufacturer to facilitate selling the titles. Any margin at all is very thin.
