To quote Trump, "Sad!".

Don't bite a gift horse in the hand that feeds the mouth. Or some similar proverb.

*length=14:38 Bite the hand that feeds you anyone? [typed before I read the video description ... great minds?]

Exactly. Dirty employers biting the hand of the workers that feed them.>> ^westy:

dirty socialists what did they expect don't bite the hand that feed you.

dirty socialists what did they expect don't bite the hand that feed you.

Its disgusting that you have workers more concerned about safety than profit.

Don't frostbite the hand that feeds you.

/nothin.

Quick! we mush pass PIPA, SOPA or there will never be another CALL OF DUTY game!

<sarcasm>Yeah, that's exactly what I said. </sarcasm>

Basic comprehension has never been your strong point, has it?

Piracy is totally acceptable. Intellectual property is logically and morally absurd. Patents - claiming you personally own a slice of the universal laws of physics - are particularly obnoxious; copyright - claiming you personally own access to a string of information, which nobody else is allowed to know without your permission - is usually only something silly that gets in the way of discourse. Merely silly, that is, until people (yes people, I hold each of them individually responsible) send their stormtroopers to attack the innocent just to keep themselves in business.
Mass media always costs more money to produce than it's actually worth. No movie or game, however many millions are spent in its creation, is worth more than the price of a single unit. When producers invest all this cash they're relying on the miracle of media duplication to get paid. That single unit can be copied and sold again and again and again, to thousands or millions of people, multiplying itself and its value. Often they're able to sell their one little media fragment enough times to make a profit - good for them, the bet paid off. To then turn around and complain when others take advantage of that same miracle to enrich their lives is not only a textbook example of biting the hand that feeds you, it's also deliberately obstructing a process that makes the world better, which is a monstrous crime.
These people don't 'deserve' compensation. They're gambling. Whether gamblers make their living gambling or not, they don't 'deserve' to win and it's nobody else's responsibility to ensure that they do.
This is an extremely simple issue.


Wow, I really don't even know where to start with how ridiculous that is. Intellectual property is not "logically and morally absurd". It is the result of peoples time and effort, and thus, has value. This is not about rewarding a studio who invests hundreds of millions in a game or movie, it's about paying a programmer, artist or hell, even the guy who gets coffee for the director.

As for the "gambling" argument, I have no problem with people with make bad products failing. That's fine. But you seem to believe that someone could put years of work into a great product and then still receive no compensation for it. Fine, but then why should you expect them to continue to put that effort into their work? Yeah, love of the craft, whatever, but people still need to eat, pay bills, etc.

You know what? pay the fucking writer.

You don't think you're oversimplifying the issue just a bit? Or more likely, by an order of magnitude?
Games, moveis, music; all these cost money to produce. You don't think that the people (yes, people, not big faceless corporations) involved deserve to be compensated for their efforts?
People harp on about "a broken business model", but I've yet to see someone come up with a working alternative. Yes, treating your paying customers worse than pirates is not the right answer, but that doesn't make piracy any more morally acceptable.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds.

LOL, the Simpsons are biting the hand that feeds THEM? Hardly..

^They mentioned Egypt in this video, and Greenwald explained that Egypt (a dictatorship) has closed its border to Gaza because of the U.S., who gives Egypt billions of dollars in foreign aid every year, second only to Israel. They don't want to bite the hand that feeds them. Did you even watch the video?

>> ^Heartspark:

You missed the whole point. The whole reason from the START is why mass produced food started was because supply and demand could not keep up with making food from organic means. That is why organic food is expensive, it does cost more than mass produced food because more work is needed in the long haul to the store. Try farm grazing cows naturally for 300 million people and then wonder why meat cost you a paycheck each month. Sure you can make a hamburger NOW for the same price as a big mac and its healthier..
You simply can't have mass produced organic food, for healthy meals at home in todays world.
I have nothing against what he is doing, its Nobel and good he is taking a stance naturally. Its simply unrealistic goals..as of now.


Uh there are countries that have the climate to graze cows on pasture all year round and meat in them does not cost a monthly paycheck, i should know, i have lived in two (Aus and NZ). Some countries have harsher winters (the UK for example) and need to bring the cattle indoors so they survive the winter months, which is fair enough, it's about being practical. I never said everything had to be organic, that is just an argument you're making to try and sidestep the issue Jamie is talking about, which is that families need to start eating more whole foods in their diet and school lunches.

As far as feeding 300 million people organically, do you have a peice of lawn bigger than a few square feet? Do you have a veranda or balcony that gets the sun? You do realise you that you can create a garden in that space and grow some of you're own food if it really becomes an issue, all you need is water and a little knowledge on gardening - or would you be worried about getting your hands dirty? Feeding the world on organic food was never and will never be the issue, the problem is that people take the route of least resistance and would prefer to just get all their food at one place - the supermarket.

Fox News biting the hand that feeds them?

You can use *unblocked, but it should only be used if you know for sure that it's not blocked. That link you provided, for example, is most definitely region blocked for me here in Australia.
