Iron Man's New Villain — an Open Source Terrorist

An anonymous reader writes "In a recent interview on Comic Book Resources about his new continuation of the Marvel comic-book series 'Invincible Iron Man,' Matt Faction provides information about the the new series (debut will be May 7). The villain is Ezekiel Stane, son of Obadiah Stane (the villain of the new Iron Man movie opening on May 2). Whereas Obadiah was a ruthless billionaire who fought as the Iron Monger, Zeke 'rejects the strategies of his father as being the crude tactics of Attila the Hun.' Instead, he will be 'a post-national business man and kind of an open source ideological terrorist.' As the author puts it, 'Windows wants to be on every computer desktop in the world, but Linux and Stane want to destroy the desktop.' The concept has gone over well on the CBR forums."

we had a law that basically said that sex with a minor is "abuse of minor". Now a later law rewrote that so sex with a minor is no longer "abuse of minor" but plain "rape". That is, even if the sex is consentual, there is no legal difference. There's a dillution (sic) of terms. Sure it's abuse, but is it rape?

You must not be a parent.

The idea of "statutory rape" has been around for a while, and that's a good thing. I'm pretty sure that no matter how "consensual" you might think it is, an adult having sex with a thirteen year-old cannot be anything but rape.

Shoot a gun downtown? Terrorism. Unless the person shot is an abortion doctor. In that case, it's not terrorism at all, but rather someone standing up for their beliefs.
