You know you should emigrate to Canada, they obvously need somebody with your intelligence and integrity to sort them out.

Me for example down load comics in order to post them as scans in debates because I do not own a scanner, however I still go out and buy the comics I down load.
Your view somes to be quite narrow.

I consider downloading to be a silent and nonviolent form of protest against much of the crap that gets put out by the companies, and I'm going to keep doing it. There was literally zero chance of my ever buying another comic book before I started downloading so the companies aren't out a single penny due to the issues I've obtained over the net.
What's more, all the little rectons the companies keep coming up with alter the older stories and if you forked over the cash it means that they've changed the story you bought to something else and your issue is null and void. Unless they're going to start handing out checks to everyone who ever bought a story as a collectors item that was later revealed to be false advertising, I don't have to much sympathy for the companies losses. They can b*tch to me when they send me an issue that features Supes ACTUALLY dying or give me back the $1.25 I paid for the original...

Only if you post on a stupid comic book debating website.
If you own the comics and enjoy reading them, that's all that matters. I don't really give a f*ck if they "count" for KMC debates.

.... How does that make any sense at all? Retcons can't literally deprive you of the pleasure that you experienced when you originally read the comic.

And it was like that long before I joined KMC, which is why it had been years since I'd actually bought a comic when I joined the forum.

I can't help it, I think about more than just goes on between the covers of the specific issue in question. If they later tell me that the issue I bought was a dream or a clone, it takes away from my enjoyment of the issue I already paid money for. It might not bother you or others, but it bothers me. There's probably plenty of things that bother you that I could care less about too.And it was like that long before I joined KMC, which is why it had been years since I'd actually bought a comic when I joined the forum.
Then, my friend, your priorities are out of whack.
A silent form of protest? Downloading?
Then how is anyone gonna know you're even protesting? Dumbest argument ever. "I'm anti-war, so I'm gonna sit at home, not vote and say nothing.".
Battlehammer, it IS stealing. Fact. Either prove illegally downloading ISN'T or don't chime in. I've proven it is, do you have counters?

Got an argument, or are you just gonna keep your miniskirt on and keep dancing with the pom poms for Kris?
I'm sure ya look hot and everything, but this is a debate, not a "Who can get on their knees for Kris the fastest." contest.

Also you stated that there no reason to down load the comics unless you dont wish to spend money which is wrong.
also it not stealing when it post freely on the net. No one is taking them, they are simply downloading a free services from the net.
also your a very black and white type of person who seems unable to grasp grey.

Scan them if you want the scans, take a picture, there are other ways. Download is not a necessity.
There is no grey here. There's only grey because people don't want to admit which side they're on.
It's a murky issue, but not in THIS context. As for being able to grasp anything, you're one of the more dense members on this forum.

Well seeing as you clearly find yourself inspired by me, I'm surprised you can't see my point.

What? 😐 Im serious, Canadians laws are dumb and you need to go right down there to sort them out. They need people with your integrity. Im just worried that if you move over there you wont be able to post here as much. We need somebody like you to set us straight correct our morality and spelling.
By the way you sure you're not related to Jesus somewhere down the line? Ever since you've been posting on this forum you have been nothing but a beacon of light guiding all the misguided posters on to the right path. Goddamit AC your so cool. *sigh*

Goin' with the skirt/pom pom/"Rah, rah, rah!" option, huh? Mmm...
I was right. If I ever happen to be juuust desperate enough, well...well, by gosh, I might just give you a booty call! That is if Kris hasn't left you so soggy that you can't hold your own molecules together.
Hit the bricks, man. If you don't have an argument I'm not gonna dignify you with a serious response.

Originally posted by tjcoadyNo, but they can shallow it. If you're happy to see a character finally portrayed properly, or see awesome dynamics happening with a team that had needed a good writer, it would hollow the good feeling to find out that half the "finally written right" characters were actually skrulls. Just leaves a bad taste.
.... How does that make any sense at all? Retcons can't literally deprive you of the pleasure that you experienced when you originally read the comic.
If it was, for instance, revealed that all of Whedon's AXM run was a dream sequence of Wolverine's, I'd still adore the arc, but would feel off about the whole thing, knowing in my head that it's all just figments.
Irrational perhaps, but I get where Goob is coming from.
