You really don't understand the meaning of the word "censorship." Censorship isn't morally okay just because it's done by a private company and not the government.
"The only reason he voted on the other bill was because it overturns Roe Vs Wade, which invalidates states ability to determine this issue."
He didn't vote on it. He introduced it. He introduced the bill whose main purpose was to define life as beginning at conception. This has nothing to do with state's rights. This would make abortion equivalent to a federal murder charge.
Also, I love (love!) that you're bending over backwards to call me ignorant, and then in the very next sentence, you pretend that Ron Paul is a "legitimate option" for president! Ha! Right on, dude! I'm sure the election will be Ron Paul vs. Ralph Nader!
Call bullshit all you want. He introduced a bill that would define life as beginning at conception at a federal level -- effectively outlawing abortion. The dude is just as rabid and crazy as the rest of them.
No thanks. As much as I love the current Internet, reproductive rights are far more important to me. And given that Rep. Paul has said that outlawing abortion is literally the most important issue our country faces, I don't think he'll be getting my vote.
Wow, you're a hostile guy. Not only did Marcus speak respectfully, he was completely right. Skill and effort have nothing to do with copyright. I can piss on a canvas and get a copyright on it, so invoking "But it took effort, it HAS to covered under copyright" is not just wrong, it's intellectually dishonest.
1. People will pay X dollars a month for a Netflix-like service.
2. People will NOT pay 2X dollars a month for a Netflix-like service.
3. The content companies will force Netflix to raise their rates to 2X in order to pay onerous new licensing fees.
4. New companies will enter the market and charge X for their Netflix-like service because the content producers want to kill Netflix, even if it means creating something exactly like them.
The demand does not outstrip the supply because as far as I can tell, Netflix is able to stream whatever movie they want to as many people that want it.
This is completely false. Netflix's steaming library is separate (and much smaller) than their DVD library. The licenses involved are separate.
This is the truth. It's annoying, and it's enough to make me not want to purchase it, but I'm kind of OCD about my games. You can play the game and missions as much as you like, but once unlocked, things will never become re-locked, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of the game to me.

"Your fucking stupidity is mind blowing. At most, he said he would like to return the right to decide back to the states."
Nope. He wants fetal personhood to be defined at a federal level.

Ron Paul advocating for a federal ban on abortion by enshrining fetal personhood in law (an idea so crazy that Mississippi rejected it)
