The whale? o.O

There is no way in hell he will see a second of jail time. He needs to, but he won't.

And that's not being snide - they actually had that on the giant scroller at the rnc convention!

And yet the Foo fighters and specifically Dave do benefit concerts raising millions and actually cook and feed disadvantaged people by the thousands. They also do (at last I knew) an annual multi-day trolling of the westboro Baptist church compound, which is a great thing imho.

Now, what is the measure of a man? Is it a sliding scale? Is it just the sums? Sure, that house framer has smaller sins, but does he have a smaller positive impact? Does it matter?

As I said in my last sentence, we're all just arguing degrees.

Votemaster and Zenger at electoralvote.com have a decent site. They take a 'model of models' approach and while their editorials are decidedly liberal, they put math and statistical analysis at the forefront and show their work.

I'm talking about the point of the article and you know it. Which is why I have you noted as "Bad Faith"

Look, I despise Amazon and Jeff bezos. I avoid Amazon and work hard to find products from retailers that aren't Amazon storefronts. But at some point, unless you're self-employed and completely self-sustaining, you're 1) whoring yourself out to somebody, and 2) sucking the knob of capitalism somewhere.

All we're left to argue is matter of degrees.

So we're just skipping the part about the execs treating themselves to a concert after many years of union busting, horrid working conditions, innumerable other abuses, and excluding the workers. But we're going to shit on the people they hired for a gig.

Coolcoolcoolcoolcool.

Just to carry this train of thought forward... What type of device (make/OS) did you compose this post with? Unless you found a way to pass tcp via... I don't know... clay you dig up in your back yard, it's pretty hard to avoid ecological damage and morally-questionable employment practices. Participating in damn near any way with any economy makes all of us complicit, and at this point all we're arguing is to what degree makes each of us uncomfortable.

I'm sure the appeal was delivered before the ink was even dry on this verdict. (was this in the state Supreme Court?)

Which, if he's making appeals based off the verdict (thus profiting off a crime), those funds could be seized as well, I believe. (your mileage may vary, check with local jurisdictions for details)

Lol, ok

All right, get into the idiot squisher.

Only if you speak it at a 45-degree angle in red. If you buy my audio book I'll explain how to do this.

Well, he used words to get the Saudis to allow aid to resume flowing. What have you done besides bitch behind a keyboard?

Yeah, I mean we knew this at the time and there was reporting on the immoluments clause back then. The result was... crickets.

"others may die for my ideals, but that's a price I'm willing to pay"

Grow up.
