|

(URL) guy posts about technilogies that might be effectivly outlawed if the stupid "Induce" act passes. Today's entry was LEGO. Since LEGO provides the mosaiac maker, and encourages people to upload scans of pictures they might not own the copyright (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) When the "story bible" was reportedly developed (2000, when Bush's administration was largely hobbled by the whole Florida vote stigma), the whole Soviet era was considered a fairly safe topic. We'd beaten them in the Cold War and seen them (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) Obviously, LEGO is too politically correct (and marketing savvy) to openly criticize American political policies. In fact, pushing a Soviet-style marketing campaign is probably cutting-edge daring for them. But that doesn't mean such (...)

(...) Let's establish henceforth that any time a debater uses "activist judges" as a means to trump an argument, then the debater has forfeited the argument. The Left has *not* forced the issue. One state's judiciary has rightly identified the laws (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jul-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) Considering they had seven "books" plotted out (of which we are in the 2nd) before they even started designing the first sets, I think you're reading a little too much into this. Also, considering the Vahki are accompanied by faux-Cyrillic (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jul-04, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) But don't you see that that is the crux of the matter. The Left has forced the issue-- now the only solution is an "all or nothing" one. The activists couldn't just leave well enough alone.

(...) Yeah, very true. The entire Vahki/Metru Nui saga is taking a Soviet turn (as is the US, IMO). The press release for the Vahki has a new tagline: "Surrender or Run". The fonts and artwork style used on the ad collateral is very reminiscent of (...) (20 years ago, 15-Jul-04, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
