You petulant child...
Truth is good, but it doesn't put taters on the plate.

Now you are saying the rich are raping us but we can walk away from too high a price. A rapist forces themselves on others. Victimhood only goes so far.

Actually, boycotting product drives the cost down. And greed exists at all levels in society. Put your greed away and boycott the product.

Everyone complains when they are ripped off But we were not talking about complaining. You complain because product isn't for free.

Bin Ladin's family did not blow up the towers. Just like your family doesn't believe the way you do. So now software companies are in cahoots with Bin Ladin.

What is insulting is all the lame excuses to grab software that doesn't belong to you. Just say I felt like it. It would be more honest. Oh, that's right. Pirates are not honest.
