"No knock warrants have been controversial for various reasons. Some consider them to be unconstitutional. In addition, there have been cases where burglars have robbed homes by pretending to be officers with a no knock warrant. In many cases, armed homeowners, believing that they are being invaded, have shot at officers, resulting in deaths on both sides. While it is legal to shoot a homeowner's dog when an officer fears for their life, there have been numerous high profile cases in which family pets lacking the size, strength, or demeanor to attack officers have been shot, greatly increasing the risk of additional casualties in neighboring houses via overpenetrating bullets."
This is taken directly from a conversation I was having with a friend on here in regards to whether or not it was okay with me if he put my music on his Zune.
My response was as follows:
Aug 10, 2011, 08:24am I appreciate your asking of putting my music on your Zune, but yeah, that's generally the sort of thing I'm hoping to happen by giving away my music for free.
90% of music today the artists "soul" are pretty much bought, packaged and sold all while fucking the artist. It's about the industry, not about the art.
As long as the majority of artists and people in the industry are that vain and believe in nothing, I will continue to shamelessly copy and distribute music at my will.
We live in a society where you're supposed to "play by the rules" ie. laws, despite the fact that multinationals and people who really have the power are manipulating and molding the populace at their will in tons of ways that if the average person could simply take an objective look, would reject the entire system completely.
That's why messages, especially directed from the music industry, can eat a dick. Maybe when I can afford food that's not packed full of carcinogens, I'll consider spending a laughably high amount on a physical CD.
My point is, as long as we're all getting fucked in the ass blatantly by corporations, advertising and our own friends and family--because even they've been brainwashed even to some degree--I will continue to regard them as the enemy. Not just any enemy however, one that has teams of psychologists whose job it is to trick you into thinking you need something you don't.
So, with that long ass monologue, I'd like to finish with yes, take and listen to my music. Remix it, sample it, throw copies of my CD from the sky, anything you can do to get my subversive message and art to as many people as possible for free. I'm glad you like it enough to listen to it traveling. It really means a lot.
Take care Mike,

So, I have a task for anyone willing to accept:
1) Go to the download page for "Trendy Fuck" and get it fo' free.
2) Create a copy (or copies) on whatever medium you see fit.
3) Give to random dude or a friend/family member who seems like they'd be interested in it.
I get that you vain motherfuckers need to keep a constant stream of photos online so everyone can see how cool you are but...
...what I don't get is why you would upload 10 of essentially the exact same photo, just with the camera rotated 5-15 degrees to the left or right. You can see this phenomenon any time here.
Astonishingly, about 1 of the 10 will be in focus and is clearly the one photo you should have used. Logically it doesn't even make sense towards your own goals:
1) You're deconsolidating your shallow responses to your photo(s) by spreading them through out many instead of 1 or 2.
2) You make yourself look like an idiot uploading blurry pictures. The only time this is acceptable to do is if you got a photo of big foot or something else that can't be recreated. If it's just you in front of a fucking webcam, hold your fucking head still for a half second.
3) Kind of a follow up from #2, but really, I don't want a view into your boring ass life. Go outside and find something worth taking a photo of. If you think that it's worth taking the photo without your Trendy mug striking some stupid fucking pose, THEN you should consider putting yourself in it.
4) I'm a stern believer in cracking anyone's sternum who think it's cool to take a photo with the "Monster" energy drink logo.
a) If you're implying somehow that you're a "monster", I've seen your interests, you're not. b) Don't be a fucking billboard. They don't about you, they only want to use you as a vessel to make more money and spread their product and logo around. Fuck your brand loyalty. c) Caffeine is one of the shittiest stimulants out there.
First, I think it's hilarious a lot of you are arrogant enough to think people are going to steal your photos.
It would seem to me that most of this animosity stems from these 'fakes' getting showered with vain praise that you should be getting. Well, boo-fucking-hoo. I'm glad that the admins deemed fakes as being a low priority instead of catering to a bunch of insecure people who need constant ego stroking to feel validated.
Besides, if there are enough fake accounts around all using the same fake photos, people are going to catch on pretty fast. In which case, the real person on this website would provide a salute and everyone would suck their e-dicks because they're such great human beings because they fit a generic formula western eyes deem as attractive. You can go ahead and mark that as your lifelong achievement—doing very little to nothing artistic or creative (or even productive)—and have shallow idiots praise you.
