Where does it say he beats them?
He just sounds like your averagely strict American parent to me. He's probably overly aware of the whole ultra-liberal musician thing and has reacted against it, not wanting to be the crappy parent of wild kids. It's totally understandable.
I mean, I'm no huge fan of his and don't care much either way about any of this, but an awful lot of you seem to be condemning him as a parent just because you find his views on file-sharing abhorrent. Which is... lame.
I think it's probably an old-English hangover. 'Until' should be taken as indefinite in this context, not as in 'until death' (a given) or 'until hell freezes over' (an impossibility) but er, somewhere inbetween.
I don't think 'unless' is necessary if you take 'until' as more neutral.
No indeed. But when certain people are being discriminated against, and are identifiable as such, this needs correcting and cancelling out. Which can seem like favouritism (and in the worst cases this is what it becomes). But... in and of itself, it isn't. Of course you have to keep in mind that anyone can be a victim of inequality, but you have to start with groups and then get to individuals.
Don't you know by now? We're for and against everyone. Why would we have one single agenda shared by all? We're autonomous individuals, you know.
Tsk.
I bet you'd like to know what I'm typing this on. As if it matters one single jot of an iota. You know most 'sane' people - those who don't work in IT - don't give a rat's ass who made their gear so long as it works, and they can be reasonably assured that it wasn't built from the shattered dreams of orphans.
Well, strictly speaking it's still nudity, even if it's just a depiction thereof. It's a daft policy though regardless. And it's a wonderful sculpture.
A friend of mine had a photo of a much, much, much ruder sculpture made from... parts of herself up on her Facebook a couple of years ago. It took them a surprisingly long time to tell her to take it down.
I don't think that was racist, just misinformed. But hey, if you really want to get upset and start an argument, feel free to do it here where I have to mop up after you!
Except that it's just gone five and I'm off. My apologies to my US counterparts who will be taking over.
(Be nice. Ta.)
