They're trying to make it a 'morality' issue, when it's just a money issue.
Because they figure if they cannot win you over with the money issue (because, frankly, many of us KNOW that the big corporations are making the money and the artist aren't), they try an emotional plea to 'morality'.

YES, of course morals have changed. Morals are never static from generation to generation, or even decade to decade.
The morality of today is no longer that of the 1500s, the 1950s, (thank goodness), or even of 1980.
If we kept morals the way they were, women would still be tied to the stove, black people would be in shackles, and humans wouldn't have inalienable rights.
Morality is judged by the culture of the time.

Morals need to shift with new cultural dynamics. This is what I see happening with the music industry. Except the industry is in the stone age and hasn't caught up with the reality on the ground NOW. Instead, they cling to old ways, and use their power and control to outlaw things, overcharge, and label 'immoral' that which they feel impinges on them.

I'm sure in time, and given the freedom, actual artists and the listening public can create a system of equity and reason so that the artist gets the money, the public gets the music, and NONE OF US faces jailtime for doing so.

"There is virtually universal agreement among scientists"
FALSE. But by all means, continue your argument.

I see many commenters here trying to rationalize a grown man beating a child in the face.
It doesn't matter what the kid did.
What, if it was a woman she'd have been "asking for it"?

Lashing out in uncontrollable anger is barbarism, assault, and a chargeable offense.

The kids need discipline? Get the theatre manager and have them removed. That's how 'adults' behave in society.
A grown man shouldn't even be assaulting another grown man unless they're, again, barbarians.

I can see you people can obviously use the internet well enough to get to this story. Surely you're civilized in SOME ways, although I find it incredible you can put your pants on each day.

“ This is probably the most complex construction site in any place ever. I think what we’ve shown is that democracy works.”

LOLWUT??? Engineering works.
Democracy? Democracy does not build towers. It doesn't even automatically equal freedom. Democracy is simply 'mob or majority rule'.
What a bunch of nationalistic tripe.

"...about 20% of people with schizophrenia are lefties". So 80% of people with schizophrenia are righties?
Why should lefties be afraid of having mental disorders again?

PFF!! If he survived on Coors light, then he survived on water alone.

Hm. Not only did it waste my time, it tracked my IP. Yay.

This is nice and all... I mean, it's best of intentions, right? But aside from the fact that they want men to pee instead of women, how about they have people pee who AREN'T on various medications, instead!
I'd rather have the slight hormonal and acidic differences between male and female pee being recycled than various chemicals that the multitudes take and gets passed out of the system through urination.

Besides, there's gotta be a cleaner, more efficient way, methinks.
