@Joe Forster- That is exactly what I'm talking about! All warez users are idiots? Is it because they don't agree with the unfair profit-making of these uber-greedy corporations? Because they use the services of this fine website to get free stuff? By participating in an operation that has become primarily a tool for illegal file sharing (not by pirates
), regardless of what it was originally intended for, I think you lose any right to make sweeping denunciations of the perpetrators of a VICTIMLESS "crime".
@Nocturnus- That last post was a little ridiculous. I agree that the policies of our current administration are detrimental to our own security as well global stability. I would like to point out, however, that the period of Portugese history that you are glorifying bears a striking resemblance to the current affairs of the US. Yes, you were imperialists first, but is that really something to be proud of? In fact, a great deal of the problems facing America and the world today are a legacy of the earlier colonial powers' missteps during their years at the top of the heap.
