    We're talking victimless , not harmless . With drugs, there is no victim, because the person making the purchase is making a conscious choice to buy something to put into their bod…

    Google's way of handling accounts is infuriating. I have multiple g-mail accounts. One of them is my primary personal one, and another one I use is a shared account that my band us…

    Looking at sales as an indicator of the success of a product is warped and silly. The fact that it is considered the right way is a shining example of the fundamentally flawed natu…

    This is great, but why is the Australian translation called 'upside down pseudoalphabet'?

    No, shit like this isn't helping. You are talking out of your ass about something you clearly know nothing about. Marijuana is as addictive as potatoes. The fact that you even ment…

    Nope. At this point, people have either forgotten about Iraq or just come to accept it. The gay marriage issue is a current one. It's a fight that's being fought right now. Protest…

    Those things are very far off from the point. If you buy Purina, you're paying for dog food. If you donate money to a proposition that opposes gay marriage, you are paying for a pr…

    Isn't that what a CEO is supposed to do? Left hand: Complains that CEOs/politicians don't listen and are out of touch Right hand: Complains that CEOs are pandering ...what?

    This. Compare it to other things, say for example, musicians. When a band goes on tour, it could be looked at like they're putting in 168 hours a week. Really though, they're doing…
