It ok to abuse that loophole to fuck the world up because lots of people are doing it.
You of all people should understand this one because the pirates and freeloaders you defend all day use loopholes in the laws and rules to hide from the law and steal content.

I have asked you this same question before. If millions are using a site to illegally download content, but a few are using it to legitimately time shift or backup content they have paid for should the site be allowed to still exist? You have always said yes.

using your example, a company would write off a million dollars in expense and pay 500,000 less tax to the government

500,000 dollar that would go to homeless shelters, food banks, free clinics (the first things to get cut when the government doesn't have enough money) was lost so that some worthy charity got 2k.

people who would have been ok if corporation had paid it fair share of taxes need to sleep in the street, starve to death, die of aids so that some worthy charity get a measly 2k.

And that corporation gets a party thrown for his /her friends on the government dime.




I stand behind my words 100% (not your bullshit misrepresentation of my words)

I 100% believe that if your going to take 50k out of the tax coffers to throw a fund raiser you should give the charity at least 400k. That 20% is more than enough to cover administration/fundraising costs (if charities can cover all fundraising AND administration then corporations can certainly do that too)

I 100% believe if you can't do that then the cost of the "fundraiser" should NOT be tax deductible.

I 100% believe that any company (porn or mainstream) that takes advantage of that loophole to throw TAX DEDUCTIBLE parties for his/her friends are scum bags.
Let me clarify. I sometimes use big numbers just to prove a point, but talking to you is like talking to a 5 year old or a dog, you can't understand that and you take everything as literal. I often write big numbers when I respond to you because it is funny to me knowing that you are going into a froth reading them.

Do you know 100% for sure that this event was done under a formal charity and that they wrote all this off? Maybe, as you claim, they did this as a work event to get content and they raised some money on the side. I have no problem with that.

The bottom line continues. You came in here acting like a douche and now you are again lashing out at those who did something good for someone in a desperate attempt to legitimize your actions. Your major personality flaw is that you can't admit that you don't know something or that you are ever wrong or made a mistake. A reasonable person might have just said that they overreacted in the moment and that they are sorry for bashing the event and bowed out peacefully, but you continue to dig yourself into a hole.


Dig away shit stain. . . dig away. With every post you show your true self to the world.
