Let’s get this page back on topic by discussing something that pisses me off. Here’s one, people who try to limit constitutional rights, most notably ones from the first amendment. The four that come to mind are verbal threats, the boy cried wolf scenario, public obscenity, and prank calls. While the first 2 can be dangerous, the latter 2 are harmless and I should have the legal right to go up on live TV and call Barack Obama a cocksucking piece of s**t and I should have the legal right to prank call someone.

Yeah, prank calls are great.

They are, I used to do them in the 80’s.

When those two Australian radio presenters pranked the nurses at the hospital the Duchess of Cambridge (Prince William’s wife) was in to do with her first pregnancy, into believing they were the Queen and the Prince of Wales to get information about her medical condition, and one of the two nurses that had been fooled hung herself three days later, I laughed my ass off. So f*****g funny. Trouble with prank calls is that you can never be sure of the aftermath.

That’s not prank calling, prank calling is when you call up a pizza place and tell them that you’re looking to rent a VHS tape, that’s obtaining information under false pretenses.

And you now seem to have an incoming President who’s totally in favour of free speech except when media organisations criticise him. In his press conference yesterday he even attacked the BBC, one of the most respected broadcasters in the world, while lumping CNN, who carefully went through the report that emerged yesterday and redacted much, with Buzzfeed, who didn’t. How strange it must be to have an incoming President who attacks the freedom of the press, the intelligence community he will have to rely on, while applauding the Russians for saying there was no truth in the accusations they had blackmail material on him (as if they’d say anything else if it was true, and I’m not suggesting it is).

Of course he’s going to be pissed off at any criticism against him, he’s the president for god sake, but all he’s doing is bitching and complaining about it, he doesn’t have any plans to reprimand people for s**t-talking him. Also, I know this may offend some (and to those few I say get a life), but I was actually happy when Trump won and have a wave of sympathy for him because even though he won fair and square, many people were angered by this and actually rioted (http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/09/…..n-streets/). It’s funny because Hillary supposedly cheated during the election by rigging the polls and using an earpiece during debates.

Here’s 2 that really piss me off, although be warned that 1 may offend some people. The first one is copyright, it was fine when it was 28 years with a renewal to make it 56 years, but the fact that there are still silent films under copyright although the man who made them is dead, that’s just bullshit and there even are some complicated cases of films that are both in and out of the public domain, such as It’s A Wonderful Life or early Bugs Bunny shorts and there even films that have left the public domain.

Only open if you don’t get offended easily, I warned you:

Except the problem is that there’s laws preventing it and when it does happen, it’s a coincidence or there’s a legitimate reason behind it, such as the male being more qualified or if the male is doing a better quality job than the female. Also, we don’t have to use spoilers any more.

That really pisses me off as well when women complain about equal rights they already have, yet I bet they would also complain if a male didn’t hold the door for them, like as if they’re saying “we want equal rights…(unless if we got it better than men)”. At the very least, they shouldn’t bitch about when males tell them what they’re doing is stupid. Sorry if I offended any women on this forum, just understand that you females do have equal rights. You can vote, drive, get a proper job, not be a housewife, be gay, own land, and hell, even join the military.
