> Taxi Driver formed part of the delusional fantasy of John Hinckley Jr.[26] that triggered his attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan in 1981, an act for which he was found not guilty by reason of insanity
Its great to be an optimist and think movies don't cause harm, clearly not everyone got the memo, there's some really crazy people out there.
While I agree with the sentiment feel the urge to note that where I live but you will face punishment for having blackberries growing on your property similar to what you would for selling marijuana.
Blackberries are a national pest, and yet sell for $80/kg in supermarkets. The average person could collect over $50 worth from the side of the road in under an hour.
Australia is not known for its efficiency nor logic.
> Glasgow council is selling land like its going out of fashion to developers
Guessing the sentiment here is that this is bad? Why exactly? Is Glasgow not growing and ever more people needing roofs over heads?
I've never once heard a person hate on farmers for producing too much food for consumption but the moment developers come even close to meeting demand for housing they are considered on par with criminals.
Both are essentials for life. Yet an abundance of one may reduce an individuals personal wealth.
In my country developers are banned from political donations, bikie gangs (organised criminals) are not.
https://dark.fail/ for market and forum links. Dread and Avengers are the forums.
Browse around or ask questions on the forums. Reputation is everything on darknet markets, a reputable seller from your own country is highly unlikely to do you wrong.
Just to clarify because it's a tad vague, you support Blizzard's right to both remove a winners players prizemoney and future ability to compete because of one sentence on a livestream?
Or perhaps less inflammatory and antagonistic, would you support private property even if it were levelled against oneself?
Actually spent quite a while going through the list of banned subs to eliminate contentious ones, gotta make commenters work for it :)
They are a US based website subject to those laws, even if those words posted on their site didn't violate laws, it's entirely legal for them to censor at will for any reason they deem ok.
> the Blizzard controversy indicates just how badly the company has screwed up here, and the level of pressure that the community and anti-censorship activists are going to apply against it.
Got a good chuckle at "anti-censorship" activists. Last I looked that was the alt-right. Free speech is a dirty word associated with Nazis for many people today (especially outside the US). Find it terrifying how many of my enlightened friends consider blanket censorship and deplatforming a legitimate way to deal with unpleasant types.
Guessing the author is aware of that modern anti-censorship fervour is almost entirely isolated to a group of people not exactly popular with the audience.
Fixing negative connotations with a vague rebranding is the pinnacle of marketing and the antithesis of journalism.
In 2001, they offered Osama Bin Laden to be trialled in a third country for the thousands of deaths he caused with 9/11. The US administration refused.
Just typical warmongering by a country who is economically dependant on war, death and misery. Such a shameless people entirely out of step with the rest of the developed world.
This strikes to the heart of what my comment mentioned though: the vast majority of people don't care, Western consumer people especially. Not supporting it, simply saying it.
Make them care and things might change, truly. Don't bother with CEO's or governments, we all know who they serve.
How much money did private enterprise make from the Arab Spring? Hundred billion or so?
To pretend like it was a moral issue is insane. Most people don't care in the slightest in democratic countries. Virtually every country involved in sending troops couldn't point to it on a map nor talk about the region with any sort of knowledge.
We walked in and replaced Hussein with ISIS. It will go down as 21st century Vietnam.
China has nukes. Absolutely nothing will happen regardless, just like 30 years ago. Perhaps some more outrage on twitter I guess?
