Gee, thanks Danyl, now I have Life in a Northern Town stuck in my brain. lol

The first time I used P2P to illegally download a song, was because a CD (I owned) had copy protection. I just wanted to rip it to my mp3 player.
Then I found digirama and payed for some of my favourite nz songs. I am one of those that only ever likes one or two songs on an alburm, so I wouldn't have bothered buying the CD.
I tried burning them to CD so I could listen to them in the car, but my DVD write was acting up and used up the three allowable burns trying to get it to work. (eventually brought a new DVD writer.)
Of course I have rebuilt the PC since then and can't get the licenses to work, so sort back on to limeware.I have no issue paying for music, I don't buy that many CDs and haven't downloaded a song in ages. But if they make it too hard and are such an ass about what device I play music on, then I feel less guilty about illegal downloads.

Plato, dude
Yeah you got me, I was only thinking of modern thinkers and mentioning Strauss, since he is considered the granddaddy of neocons.
As for the right here, they should have had a bit of practice fighting bills (civil union, prostitution etc). They were bound to figure out an effective strategy. At some point.
And unfortunately most people don't look to deeply into an issue and seem to have been sucked in.Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble accessing this site to day?

the neocons are cynically exploiting the Christian vote
Wasn't it Strauss that came up with the idea of using religion to keep the population in line and distraction them. He was jewish and didn't care what religion was used. He had issue with letting the masses have a say on what is going on.
As for neocons wishing to spreading demoracy.
The spreading demoracy was just an excuse introduced once the WMD threat in Iraq fall through.
The goal was extend power and capitalising on the Cold war 'victory'.
One would normally use the word imperialism. -
I thought that s59 only refered to children, not adults dress up in short school uniforms pretending to be naughty children.
Or can we use s59 to apply to adults as well?
So next time an a**hole at the bar needs correction...... -
It's not anti-Christian stuff, it's anti loopy-christian stuff.
A small group that seem to have a very loud voice and unfortunately seem to have tainted our view of what the term 'Christian' means. -
The pay rate for that? US$50. Total. Robin just made about 16c.
Sod that!
Make US$50 a post and I'll consider it.Perhaps Product Compliance isn't so boring after all.

The interesting thing is that "Robin" actually had to register and respond to the confirmation email.
That would only be five minutes at work. I have no idea what these making people are paid. But it could have been worthwhile for Robin. They probably did a search on blogs mentioning food or something and so may have no idea of the audience.

I've heard of it, but not seen it.
Now that one of them seems to have found this blog, it may start to appearing all the time. -
Robin's post looks remarkable like the spam that appears in my inbox. (Well the ones that don't use randomly generated sentences).
So is this one of the new forms of marketing?
Adding personal sounding messages to blogs. Still incredilbly obvious.
