I didn't even get mine from loud noises, I was only 11 at the time, I'm just here to encourage everyone to not take silence for granted.
If you don't want your knowledge to be used by machines or man, then you should bottle them up and hide them from both.
I actually like your reply the most. You almost proudly admit to being in favor of violence against your fellow man but didn't quite get there. I'll help finish your thought:
> then society is free to take its fair share in return. And if you don't give up what society thinks is fair, then society will imprison you and if you resist their agents, society will authorize them to kill you.
And the only way to do that is to threaten those that can support themselves with imprisonment and death if they don't support the weak? There's no other way where people might voluntarily help those people? You don't see the hyprocisy?
>It's not to have a pool of resources from which you can accumulate and hold on to as many resources as you can.
And violence is the only solution.
>If you are able at all to give up any portion of the fruits of your labor you should be grateful for the conditions set up before you that allowed you to reach such place.
Because my parents and grandparents where coerced, I should be grateful and repay them with more coercion?
2. How about take away the government?
3. Why are you obsessed with guns? Is it because I used the word gun? Feel free to replace the word 'gun' with rocks, sharpened sticks, nuclear weapons, fists, etc.
I get what you're saying "by the way". The weak should be subjugated at the feet of the strong. In your scenario human beings are the "meat and animals" and the government are the epitome of the evolvoled being.
If I don't support the potential outcome, how could I justify participating?
Here's a scenario for you:
11 people in a room. They decide to take a majority vote to murder one of the 11 at random. What's your vote? No? What happens in the case you're outvoted? You are now complicit in murder. Vote yes? You are now complicit in murder. Casting your vote is your acknowledgement that the you accept the results. The only moral action is to object, conscientiously and refuse to participate.
Now stand in a room of 300,000,000 people where the end result of your participation is endless evil and murder. Congratulations.
You're not addressing my point at all. You're just rambling trying to justify your position.
No one ever simply admits to being in favor violence and murder towards their fellow man. Just admit it instead of diverting and attempting an attack on the person presenting the position.
You love that the State sticks guns into peoples faces and forces them to fund the endeavors you support. Can you even do that?
If I'm forced at the end of a barrel of a gun to give up any portion of the fruits of my labor to support others, it is immoral.
That's their goal. If you're not earning them money, they don't want you. You don't exist to them and you not watching their ads/videos is no threat at all.
What they meant at the time they said it and what they want it to mean later upon reflection, certainly could be two completely different things and should be scrutinized.
I've released the project on GitHub but by doing so I am not implying it's good or worthy of others use. Maybe it will inspire smarter people to make something better.
But it works perfectly for me and my situation.
Watermarks have their place, if you're the original creator, but to take works from others and slap your ad on it is pretty despicable (relatively).
I consume (and share) a lot of old video and I don't see this as a big loss since you can't enjoy the original works as they were intended to be.
Schools couldn't possibly teach the entirety of human history from every perspective.
I have cassettes that are 40 years old.
For example: most people love the police when they coercing wealth from strangers to fund their projects but hate when the same police step on their chest until they stop breathing during a traffic stop.
