No, they're not. The pope made no arguments, he stated conclusions. He provided no reasoning or supporting evidence behind his conclusions, because there is none.
If anyone other than the pope had simply come out and made the unsupported claim that technology causes confusion between reality and fiction, the argument would have been dismissed just as quickly.
Not really. He's a guy who has based his entire existence on the belief that there's a magical entity secretly running everything. Someone who bases his world view on a firm belief in the supernatural has no business accusing others of confusing fiction with reality.
Does Canada allow people to counter-sue for court charges in a case like this? Because this looks like a case where the police just want to financially ruin someone with attorney's fees without any intent to actually prosecute them.
By telling the students to just go get a job at a fast food joint or book store and to buy their video games, because without a technical background you've got no chance in hell at game development.
Sure, but I'm pretty sure there's some infringing code in some version of Windows somewhere. I'm definitely gonna sue you for that one. I mean both operating systems have GUI's, so they must have copied the code straight from my stuff, right?
If they're being forced to foot the bill to protect the Right's Holders interests, ISP's should start getting 25% of the profit the Rights Holder's make from those Interests.
You obviously have no understanding of the immigration process. People with no money and little education get told to fuck off now. Lady Liberty no longer welcomes the poor huddled masses yearning to breathe free, she tells them to go get educated, make some more money and try again next year.
Linus is a well educated, highly skilled worker and he still had a horrible time of it.
No, it's becoming legal because people are finally realizing that it's less harmful than alcohol and fighting the 'war on drugs' is a losing proposition for everyone involved.
Yes, they did. The current definition of journalism they appear to be working from is "Repeating whatever asanine behavior a celebrity or pseudo-celebrity has demonstrated for 24 hours a day until some other celeb/pseudo-celeb does something even dumber."
I'm pretty sure the 'Advanced Ebonics' classes would involve making up new nonsense words until one of them becomes popular, then repeating that word until most of society can recognize it as an 'idiot indicator'.
While it does seem that the government is waiting for a seven year old to grow up and solve our country's problems, I disagree that waiting that long is the best approach.

I played that version of SimCity. The IR Laser beam always ended up incenerating my town.
It's not a 'supply problem' because the oil well was never supplying any oil. The rig was destroyed before the well became operational.
I'm very tempted to mod this -1 troll, but i'll let it slide this time. This is your last warning! ;)

Does that mean something in a foreign language or something?
Would anyone like to buy the rights to OS/2 products systems and services from me?

I said the people involved, not the jackbooted thugs involved. :)

Are there any employed journalists any more? I haven't read or viewed anything that I would qualify as "journalism" in a very long time.
This is why the government always ends up hiring contractors to do the jobs they already pay their own staff to do.
Yeah, but we're talking about psychology, which is about as scientific as tarot card readings.
In related news, a three year long Canadian study that recently concluded has revealed that snow is cold and water is wet.
If they'd taught this class anywhere other than Baltimore they might run out of fresh corpses to zombify.
Judging by the candidates I've interviewed in the past few months, I'd say this is entirely correct.
US Politicians incorrectly believe that the US owns the entire internet.

Yeah, it is, but it takes a lot less time to type than "crossing my fingers and hoping other people will do the work I'm too lazy to do myself".
