What’s odd is that the domain was renewed just 2 months ago (April 6th).

Democracy is the enemy of the might makes right. Might makes right selects the stronger clan, and selects its strongest leader: that is, the one who follows this doctrine the most brutally and successfully. Because if you don´t, someone else will be more ruthless. So in a democracy we protect minority interests and curb the powers of commercial entities. And we have the Trias Politica. You might wonder if we do enoug…
Democracy isn't the enemy of might makes right at all. In actual democratic systems, the stronger great majority (eg the 75% or 90%) can do anything they want to with a weak minority. There are many prominent examples of democratic systems being used to implement might makes right via majority abuse of the minority. You have to intentionally neuter democratic systems with strict constitutions that protect individual…
I don´t agree with your wording. You sound like that especially in a democracy the minorities get crushed. But its the democracies that build upon the core idea of alienable human rights, that gives you voting power but also guarantees as an individual. It is no wonder that you will find such constitutions in democracies.
Thats why I said trias politica.
I encourage you to think critically and at the same time ask you to cherish what you have. It is you duty to defend democracy and keep it functioning, or else you will lose it. I am not saying that do you do that personally, but I see a lot of spoiled people in the west that shit on their own chair, by dismissing democracy, even sometimes equaling it with autocratic regimes. Those don´t know what they ask for.

#114Uzi battled Nissan motor company because the company thought they had the right to take the domain from a man who had registered it because it's his surname. Nissan Motors should have been slapped with a massive punitive fine for that, but instead they continued to bleed Mr. Uzi Nissan of his resources by suing him repeatedly. Memo to Nissan Motor Company: it was because of this act of lawfare that I personally renou…
> I personally renounced ever buying a Nissan again
Personally, I stopped buying Nissan cars because of bad experiences/failed transmissions right after warranty expired.

Yeah, a bit obsessed, I reckon. What irks me the most is my late father collected breweriana from the old brewery (serving trays, tip trays, signs, etc.). From what I've heard, after inheriting some of his collection and attending the bottle/breweriana shows he went to, I found out from a couple of dealers, that one of the guys from the brewery has also been collecting. So now I've got competition with deep pockets i…
Weird folks out there. I’m named for my grandfather, a former MLB player with a World Series win to his name. While back found out there was a man impersonating him after his death, not too far from where we lived at the time. https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/2011/05/15/baseball...
What a story! Thanks for sharing. I love the bit in there about the lawyer buying the imposter the replica ring. It was written in a pretty unique way. My great great grandfather actually also owned a baseball team named after his signature beer. Random-fact: Abraham Lincoln's granddaughter's husband played for them.

Cars don't make decisions, people do, yet you blame "cars". Anyway, your entire argument is a straw man.

Seems like their sports cars are alright. I enjoy my Z31 project car.

I agree with you but honestly if it was another person named Toyota who purchased toyota.com, they would definitely be pursued/sued by Toyota as well. Large Corporations are powerful and will do everything they can to get what they want. It just happens to be Nissan in this case. So I wouldn't treat them any different than the others to be honest.
> Large Corporations are powerful and will do everything they can to get what they want. In the scheme of ethical philosophy there is, pretty much by definition, the most extreme position of "might is right". The principle text on which is attributed to one "Ragnar Redbeard" [1]. The philosophy is simple. I may rob you, rape you, vandalise, ransack, lie, pillage and kill, for the one simple reason that I am stronger…
"God made man. Samuel Colt made them equal."
There is codified in the Constitution of the United States recognition that some will always seek to subjugate others. And an enshrined recognition that this is morally wrong is the Second Amendment: the right to bear arms. Many of the founding fathers of the United States made statements to the affect that a well armed citizenry was the only method by which true tyranny could be removed.
And true tyranny is the living example of "might makes right".
The appeal to "something better" than our base instinct to crush our enemies and hear the lamentations of their women is distinct to Christian morality. No other religion or political ideology makes this appeal.
This is why the United States -- with its distinctly Christian moral foundation -- is unique in the world. The founders recognized first the right of association and speech, and second the right to personal autonomy; to bear arms and kill those who would subjugate or kill you.

Is this comment supposed to be the hook for a short story or film where you slowly learn that you're actually the grandson of the impostor?
Ha! No, I was old enough to be at my grandfather’s well attended funeral to know who is the real Rocky.
