Copyright exists for a reason.
Creation has always been harder than copying - retelling a joke you heard takes little talent. Printing books is easier than writing books.
Copyright is a monetary incentive for new difficult works.
If you can push a button and a new work comes out... the question of who made it is completely fucking irrelevant. Only human effort deserves this protection.
Okay well listen.
That dude's personal fable is a straight-up Damien Hirst title.
... and it will hurt the entire time you are disintegrating!

They're in the RAM expansion slot, behind the car keys.
Surely the peg pushes the bowstring over the ridge that's restraining it.
Seems needlessly complicated, when the number of sexual assaults committed by trans high schoolers must be approximately fuck-all.
"Part?" No.
It's ABOUT slavery. Slavery was the entire root cause.
The south started a war.
The war was over slavery.
This submission is an idiot saying "the civil war wasn't about slavery," and you saying "they're not entirely wrong." They are, though. They really fucking are. If your denial of that fact is plainly not rooted in ignorance, what the fuck are you doing?
You need to develop a response to criticism besides doubling down and scrambling for some way to avoid saying "whoops."
Doesn't need to be hot, if you swing hard enough.
That's why you do your friend's. Teamwork makes the dream work.
Lincoln doesn't matter - the South started the war, about slavery.
Nothing Lincoln did could possibly change that. No quote of his could be relevant. Saying so isn't a question of veracity. The man himself could be on-record insisting slavery had nothing to do with it, and he'd be just as wrong, because the South started the war, *about slavery.
You know this is correct. You say this is correct. But then you turn away and make excuses for someone saying the complete opposite of that objective fact.
When this bigot begins "The Civil War wasn't about slavery until the Union started losing," that's lost-cause bullshit, and your defense of it is inexcusable. This is bog-standard Leeaboo nonsense that you're running interference for. 'Surely people would have stopped Lincoln's unpopular war' might as well spell out "Northern Aggression" if you fold the page in half.
I'm sorry, hold on.
I almost missed that you slipped into outright Confederate propaganda.
"It was about trade played out through slavery?" Fuck right off with that, the war was about SLAVERY. In itself, for its own sake. Not because of bloodless lies like blaming "trade." The bigotry of white supremacy was foundational! These bastards did not just want convenient free labor - they were fundamentally opposed to black people being treated as human. Quite a fucking lot of them asserted that black people, born anywhere, could never be American citizens.
Your behavior in this thread is why demands for "civility" enable toxic abuse. You can keep saying dumb shit as eruditely as possible, and everyone else has to dance around beginning a detailed condemnation with the barest hint of personal directed frustration.
Get out.
