I don't believe that you can reform everybody who commits crimes. I also believe that death isn't enough of a punishment, nor life imprisonment, for some of the things people have done over the course of history. This is probably a textbook unpopular opinion, such as it is, but there it is as I see it.
"The public relations industry, which essentially runs the elections, is applying certain principles to undermine democracy which are the same as the principles that applies to undermine markets. The last thing that business wants is markets in the sense of economic theory. [B]Take a course in economics, they tell you a market is based on informed consumers making rational choices.[/B] [B]Anyone who’s ever looked at a TV ad knows that’s not true.[/B] In fact if we had a market system an ad say for General Motors would be a brief statement of the characteristics of the products for next year. That’s not what you see. You see some movie actress or a football hero or somebody driving a car up a mountain or something like that. And that’s true of all advertising. [B]The goal is to undermine markets by creating uninformed consumers who will make irrational choices[/B] and the business world spends huge efforts on that. The same is true when the same industry, the PR industry, turns to undermining democracy. It wants to construct elections in which uninformed voters will make irrational choices. It’s pretty reasonable and it’s so evident you can hardly miss it." - Noam Chomsky

VR is a total gimmick, I hope it never replaces conventional screens because I appreciate peripheral vision, and no retarded goggles could convince me otherwise.

Music is dead, and anyone that argues against that is in serious denial.
well technically music was never even alive to begin with sooo
[QUOTE=DarkKrystal;45332965]Music is dead, and anyone that argues against that is in serious denial.[/QUOTE] How so? You have access to more music right now than ever before, and surely you haven't listened to [I]all[/I] the music out there. That is just a stupid and ignorant thing to say.

Im not even kidding when I say this, chocolate milk and mountain dew is possibly the best drinkable liquid combination out there. It tastes just like dew when you drink it but then the after taste is pure chocolate.

wu-tang clan is the shit
[QUOTE=Laferio;45333229]wu-tang clan is the shit[/QUOTE] how is that unpopular
i thought it was unpopular here mmmm
Honestly, I don't think it matters much that "music is dead" Big publishers and record companies have a monopoly and don't need more money. Artists can do something else. We've got like over half a century of recorded music to play. When you consider how many cultures there are with different music, i think we've got more than any person could ever hear in his lifetime. Furthermore even if music stops becoming a thing made in our various societies, there will always be another society making music.
[QUOTE=DarkKrystal;45332965]Music is dead, and anyone that argues against that is in serious denial.[/QUOTE] That isn't even unpopular, that's just plan blind Music is more alive than it has ever been in history, there are so many ways to find, share, create, and learn music it ain't even funny
