Probably English Dubbed. Anger faced.

I'm still against hollywood. Lol

I see why people would not want torrent... but torrent has saved my life a few times. And has given me viruses (Fuckin adobe lightroom) some times.

I'm sure it was the "adobe" download that gave you the virus...

i torrent a lot but only for stuff i really cant afford. For example. Maya 2012 or 3dsmax 2012...no way in hell can i afford a $4000 program just for shits, aka not used to make profit. I still pay for movies, music, games, and some affordable software like office/windows7. Because I support certain parts of the industry or certain individuals. Id never try and download a Pixar movie, id feel bad.

Its been a long time since iv got a virus from torrenting..i usually look at comments, and how many people are actually seeding.

Pirating those is second nature to me, I completely forgot about them.

That's to be expected haha.

Back on topic though, the first thing I thought of when I read the OP was "China" ...not good man.

I usually don't like to get involved with anything involving politics but this is ...

Of course, that's why they all want to 'Take America Back' for the 'Real Americans'.

I f***ing hate politicians.

I hate politics in general, but this one really bothered me. Lol

The people with big money are buying those representing in congress. Your vote won't matter if someone can cough up an extra 1mil for a guy to try to get it to pass.


I also hate election time. Nothing ever gets done.

I also remember reading an article at work one day. I briefly recall what it said but I'm sure it was something related to the 'minimum MPG' each car should have or else it won't be sold. Something about 36mpg MINIMUM city. I need to go dig that up.

It's always that way. Why do you think we still have farm subsidies, or 10% Ethanol in all our gasoline? Or ridiculous genetic patent laws, or the DMCA, or no Net Neutrality, or an embargo against Cuba that has lasted for 51 years (I'll give you hint, it's not because of communism)?

You might be thinking about CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy).

62mpg by 2025

I'm sure there will be "exceptions" though just like there are BS exceptions today to get tax credits. Ever see a vehicle with "flex fuel" slapped on the side? They get a tax break for that.

The U.S. population is definitely not represented by the makeup of congress. When there are over 60 millionaires in office out of the ~525 legislators that isn't in proportion with the rest of the country.
