I always pirate cd's/movies etc. and I'll buy them if I like them.

Ohh damn. I read "the topless thread" when I clicked on this. What a disappointment. 

Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me
We download, we torrent, we crack and we hack
Download me hearties yo ho
We don't pay for software and don't give a hoot
Download me hearties yo ho!

i buy merchandise if i liked it.

That is why it is better to pirate songs. You don't have to feel bad if they suck and you end up throwing them out. When I was a teen-ager I bought a CD because I had heard one of the songs on it on the radio and liked it. The other 9 songs on the disk all sucked, I felt like I had totally wasted my money.

It would be nice if artists had bitcoin address you could donate to if you decide you like their music.  The webcomic xkcd has a bitcoin donation address: http://xkcd.com/bitcoin/

Depends what kind of coke

I feel like ranting about ObamaCare for a minute:

Has nobody in the government taken an introductory economics class? Supply and Demand people, it is not that hard to understand!

So the problem that they identified is that there are people who do not have access to healthcare, and the reason they identified is because those people cannot afford to get it. Obviously the problem is that the supply of healthcare does not meet the demand (you can have a whole other debate about whether it is even possible to meet the demand for healthcare, since people will always think of more reasons to spend money).

So the government's solution is to increase the demand for healthcare (or, more accurately, health insurance; we can have another debate about how those are actually connected). Anybody who has studied economics knows that when you increase the demand for something with a fixed supply the price will go up.

What the government should have done instead would be to focus on increasing the supply of healthcare. They should be hiring doctors or giving money to clinics/hospitals to hire doctors, helping more students go to medical school, and building hospitals/clinics in underserved communities. They should make it easier for charities to run health clinics. By increasing the supply they would lower the cost and make healthcare more accessible to everyone.

Man, now I'm thirsty!

Coke is not good for you. Better off drink water

I love coffee, but just for the taste. Caffeine doesn't affect me really.

I drink a lot of coffee. I find that it helps me open my eyes in the morning, but when I try to use to wake up later in the day or at night, it doesn't do much for me.

coffee does nothing for me lol i laugh at these crazy obsessions

That's a point (and coffe is aewsome)

peaberry coffee beans are much better than normal coffee beans of the same kind.

From Wikipedia
Peaberry, also known as caracoli, is a type of coffee bean. Normally the fruit ("cherry") of the coffee plant contains two seeds ("beans") that develop with flattened facing sides, but sometimes only one of the two seeds is fertilized, and the single seed develops with nothing to flatten it. This oval (or pea-shaped) bean is known as peaberry. Typically around 5% of all coffee beans harvested are of this form.

Normal coffee beans are less commonly called by contrast flat berry.[citation needed]

Peaberry coffees are particularly associated with Tanzanian Coffee,[1] although the peaberry variety of Kona coffee has also become quite prominent.
