When I had no money, I was against intellectual property protections. Now that I have money, and make money off intellectual property that I create, I am a fan of intellectual property protections.

it must be glorious to sit in your hipster marxist hugbox and pretend that intellectual property laws are imaginary

What does that even mean? I get that your posts are more performance art than actual argument and that you'll always pick a sick burn over being coherent, but even granting you that low standard I can't exactly piece together why you think criticizing intellectual property means someone thinks "intellectual property laws are imaginary". It is literally the opposite: intellectual property are a very real barrier to affordable medication. This is on par with some of your other greatest hits like when you couldn't understand the difference between a toothless UN treaty and an ISDS.

Also :lol: that the thread where you're the number one poster (and half the other posters are seemingly distressed millenials one bad day away from suicide) is a "hugbox". You sure do like to pretend you're not the single most prolific poster in this thread.

I'll own the hipster marxism though, even if I do identify more as a Tokin Trot.

Did you not pick that up from the fact that he was the only one who was taken in by Hal's insane, nonsensical appeals to authority? Nobody with half a clue could be excused for reading a Hal post and thinking "Yes, this person knows what they are talking about!"

Please just put Ethnically Han Holden Caulfield on ignore and save us the weekly derails.

I think I give CI a pass for the numerous stupid things he says because for some reason I find his constant attacks on Canadians and his nouveau riche posturing kinda funny and its a nice contrast to the serious posting. It's also hard for an insult to have much sting when it's coming from somebody who comes off as severely unhappy and quite possibly having an actual borderline personality disorder.

I know this is a poo poo post but Sanders has been pushing hard on issues that drive inequality which is greatest and most pronounced along racial lines in the southern states. Also Sanders has been a civil rights ally for a long-rear end time so it's a bit of a slap in the face for people to be voting for Clinton because she married President Booty Giggity.

quote:

A Calgary woman with ALS will become the first non-Quebecer to legally die with the aid of a doctor on Canadian soil, according to a precedent-setting ruling by Alberta’s Court of Queen’s Bench.

“I do not wish to have continued suffering and to die of this illness by choking. I feel that my time has come to go in peace,” said the woman, identified in court documents only as H.S.

Cleared by the court to seek a “physician-assisted death if she so chooses,” the woman is soon expected to seek a medication-induced death in British Columbia.


hurrah! A great victory for all of us canadians! Who can honestly argue that it is not a net benefit to all canadians when a court of law approves the act of putting calgarians to death

You can have Sanders try his damndest to fix the horrible broken totally corrupt and worthless system or you can have Donald Trump go crazy and do nonsensical poo poo completely out of reach of the moneyed interests that usually influence American politics.

"A retard can't actually do all the retarded things he proposes doing, so I'll vote for him and hope he doesn't do very many retarded things."

Yep, that makes sense!

I mean, I think Trump is unironically better than his republican competition, because they are all literally insane, but I can't believe any sane person would consider voting for any republican candidate in the general election.
