From the reader comments on that news item:

If the porn you want isn't available for free, it's probably because the porn you want isn't legal.

Well, yea. You know correct me if im wrong but how was this going to HELP anything anyway? For example i get an extra $600.00. I decide to do like alot of people did, and put it down on a car, jetski, atv, etc that i cant afford.

Fast forward a few months and im FURTHER in debt then before and even more broke. So whats the plan? Boost the economy for a few months and then leave it worse?? I mean whos fucking brilliant idea was this>??!! Thats rhetorical, of course

It's the newest example in why trickle down economics doesn't work and why your finances are beyond terrible.

Well that was an example, mine are actually much better. And i afford my ATV quite nicely lol. And i decided to bite the bullet and just pay everyone who says i owe them and get my credit back on track. That will be happening sometime this month when a few jobs get paid on.
