Denmark parliament adopts bill prohibiting Quran burnings

Tolerance is not a moral requirement but a social contract.

By social contract I mean it's an agreement that I will tolerate you as long as you tolerate me.

Islamic groups literally want some sections of western society dead (queer community etc) and other sections subjugated (women). They violate the contract and we shouldn't be accepting of that.

tldr: We shouldn't pander to people who think a book burning means someone should die.

Why Are People Hating on Julian Assange?

Because propaganda works.

  • Classic painting of him as a traitor. We have 'evidence' you can't see that he works for [insert enemy here]

Poor Poor Pitiful Me

Fun fact: Piracy is still supporting the film industry. We see movies, talk about it, free publicy, reviews etc.

Apparently in the industry they consider the value of a pirated movie about 1/4 that of a paid one.

Some programs etc would pretty much die without piracy like the Adobe suite
