Paying monthly to Netflix vs. paying per use with Amazon isn't a subjective difference. If you are only watching 2 movies a month of average, then Amazon is objectively a better deal than Netflix as you not only pay less, but have more

In addition to local differences (I was in very northern Germany) I'm sure my perceptions were colored by being at a Gymnasium, but I did also interact with kids from other schools. I'm not saying that alcoholism isn't an iss

No, that meaning is absolutely not clear in any of what you've written. In my experience, "free speech absolutism" is more of a siboleth than an actually meaningful label. I've yet to encounter anyone who actually believ

The freeness of speech is a continuum. In some countries you can't say anything critical of the ruling party, even if it's true. In other countries you can say untrue and critical things as long as you don't know they are unt

That isn't evidence that Canada barely considers free speach "good in and of itself." Different countries have different rules and restrictions on free speech and every country has some. If you setup a framework for compariso

Don't overgeneralize. People are different and have different needs. You can speak your truth without having to say it is true for everyone.

Perhaps you should teach children that it's good to respect people's beliefs because being nice to people is good? I think it's ironically tragic that in an attempt to get people to respect your beliefs more, you argue that t

Oh good. Glad you make enough money to view 25k as such a measley sum. Most people don't and this median debt load already mostly excludes people like you who payed off thir debt in 5 years. It so funny that you guys are so quick to po

That's the current debt load, not the debt load graduated with nor the amount that will end up paid over the lifetime of the debt. Even so, calling a 5 figure debt load "very little" is flat out ridiculous.

Making money off it doesn't just draw more attention, it also makes a fair use defense harder. Non-commercial use isn't necessary or sufficent for fair use, but it does help.
