pragmatic (adj.)
The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

Too bad they already have a 3 strikes law on their Internet and danced to the tune of the RIAA/MPAA to get Megaupload shut down.

lol they are roughly the size in population and land mass as the state of arkansas. Their gun rights suck so it is a matter of opinion that they are number 1 in freedom.

lol sanity has nothing to do with it. Can they be smoking a cig, drink in one hand, shooting a uzi with the other, while butt naked and pissing off their porch at the same time? Now that is freedom!

The one time that they tried to bring someone to court based on the three strike piracy law they backed down after not been able to prove it was her and not a flat mate. The only teal effect that the law has had is to make people more weary.

The point is it should never have been enacted in the first place. It carried next to no public support and only got put through because it was bank rolled by Hollywood via political and public group donations.
