Why should you move to a different country? It's yours and you have every right to be there, and every right to complain about and protest things you don't like.

Yes.

I feel like you think this somehow proves a point.

How would we be worse off if these guys aren't paying their taxes in the first place?

Seems to like it's starting to be that your are a product regardless of whether you are paying for the service or not. The degree of hubris and outright contempt for the public by corporatists is utterly disgusting.

How would ignoring the problem help?

by ionised 8y ago
I don't understand what that has to do with political correctness.

Why? Would you say the same for other laws and rights, like gun ownership?

I'm struggling to understand what you mean here. You believe being entitled to a life free from false imprisonment, torture and persecution is left-wing rubbish? Is this satire? The only people who are against the concept of basic huma

Why does everything have to turn into something you can market? So you spend a few hours playing games and you have nothing to sell or shill on Hackernews. Is that a problem? Did you enjoy yourself playing those games? Yes? Then why isn&#x2
