Quote:Zeropaid denied that the reports that he was a Neo-Nazi were true.
They did? My reading comprehension must be going. In fact zeropaid wrote something like this;
Quote:However, in his private life, Lundström also has a history of funding a couple of right-wing parties like...
hmm if I read that right they agree that he is a Neo-Nazi.
Quote:...and the comparison to Republicans and the abortion issue is tasteless; I don't agree with the average Republican on much, but there's a WORLD of difference between "Republican" and "Neo-Nazi"
Yes there is a substantial difference between the two, and I am not comparing the two. Please read it again, carefully. and maybe answer the questions with some reasoning for why.
Quote:And anybody who does is, in my book, a complete fucking scumbag. Apparently you think otherwise, though that didn't stop you from hastily leaping to try and defend him.
I do think otherwise, in my view buisness is buisness and personal views should intrude very little. otherwise you get stores that won't serve blacks and other such bad things. I'm fairly sure a lawsuit for discrimination can be brought against you if you do that kind of discrimiation based on political affiliattion. And I am not defending him so much as I'm defending the other 3, the link that the media likes to play up seems fairly minor.
One of them worked for him, and he allowed an employee to use some relatively minor company resources for a private project. Big fucking deal.
I don't even know the political affiliation of my former bosses, and quite frankly neither do I care. Do you know you know affiliations of your bosses and every intermediate middle management person between you and them? Do you know the political affiliations of the others you work with? The affiliations of your clients? What degree of separation is acceptable?
Quote:Insofar as "this openly biased source didn't make up everything they said, so I assume they're right about everything" position... yeah. Let's just say I don't buy it for what to me are fairly self-evident reasons.
Fair enough, do you have anything to suggest they are wrong?
Quote:Anyway, this isn't getting much of anywhere. You asked me why I think they should rot in jail. It is because they are bad people who broke the law. The breaking the law is the important part, the fact they are bad people is icing on the schadenfreude cake.
I agree, the discussion has gotten off topic. Shal we agree to disagree on weather they are bad people?
I actually have to disagree with you there in sweden what they did was not against the law, it's at worst in a grey area (based on a paper by a swedish legal scholar explaining the details, however can't find the link). However I am not qualified to discuss swedish law in detail, however using the law as a moral guideline seems wrong to me. however rereading my original question I do seem that the wording is way too vague. Is the outcome of the piratebay trial ethically or morally right?
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
