Copyright infringement, as I understand it, has to do with taking something and claiming it is yours (e.g., you take my sheet music, put your name on it, and sell it as yours).
Then you don't understand it. Copyright infringement is simply unauthorized use of copyrighted material, e.g. making copies. What you're talking about is plagiarism.
You bring up murderers as an example, but a person convicted of murder can still get married, right? Where's the proposition outlawing marriage for convicted criminals?
The question isn't whether the Bible considers homosexuality a sin, but why Christians have decided to focus almost exclusively on this one particular sin.
You could simply pass a law stating that gay people in a civil union can call themselves "married" on any sort of official document, such as income tax forms.
So instead of letting gays get married, we'll let them get married!
Wait, what?
If you'd RTFA (shocking, I know), you'd see that DARPA was interested in it as a way of preventing wounded people from bleeding out. It's already being tested on humans.
My friend just got a horrible ear infection that resulted in extreme pain and puss coming out of her ear because the doctor misdiagnosed it as "swimmers ear"
I imagine that having a cat crawl out of one's ear would be quite painful.
What if something I said inadvertently provoked someone into committing suicide? Am I still responsible for their death? Should I be charged with manslaughter?
Goading someone into ending their own life is criminal behaviour, I agree. However, it is most certainly not murder, no more than copyright infringement is theft. Lumping crimes together under some broad umbrella definition makes the law difficult both to interpret and to apply.
In true CSI fashion, they'd also have a program that would be able to analyze the residue and perform an exciting 3D reconstruction of what the person looked like, their position in the room at the time of vaporization, and the type of cereal they ate for breakfast that morning.

Wait, kill the concept?

So they can't go to heaven. Where does it say in the Bible that they can't get married?

So the robots kill us off with breast cancer?
Sneaky bastards.
You can get to the soup faster if you dine as a group, but then they only serve one bowl of soup and you all have to roll for it.

I'm taught p-l-o-u-g-h
S'all be pronounce "plow."
"Zat's easy w'en you know," I say,
"Mon Anglais, I'll get through!"
My teacher say zat in zat case,
O-u-g-h is "oo."
And zen I laugh and say to him,
"Zees Anglais make me cough."
He say "Not 'coo,' but in zat word,
O-u-g-h is 'off,'"
Oh, Sacre bleu! such varied sounds
Of words makes me hiccough!
He say, "Again mon frien' ees wrong;
O-u-g-h is 'up'
In hiccough." Zen I cry, "No more,
You make my t'roat feel rough."
"Non, non!" he cry, "you are not right;
O-u-g-h is 'uff.'"
I say, "I try to spik your words,
I cannot spik zem though!"
"In time you'll learn, but now you're wrong!
O-u-g-h is 'owe.'"
"I'll try no more, I s'all go mad,
I'll drown me in ze lough!"
"But ere you drown yourself," said he,
"O-u-g-h is 'ock.'"
He taught no more, I held him fast,
And killed him wiz a rough.
Sure there is! It's just like regular binary, except it only uses the numbers "one-ish" and "probably nothing".

"Hear", not "here".
Calling someone "retarded" after you completely misinterpreted what they wrote?
+1 ironic

I think he's talking about dolphins.

I just hope its not to kill him. But that's the word on the street.
The word on what street? Crazy Street?
Which is the one where everybody gets 72 virgins? Islam? We should test the video link on that one first. For, uh, science.
So now people don't even read the title of the article?

And milk is the result of a process performed by cows! That's it, I'm patenting cows.
We could use the opportunity to improve our global image doing what we do best - freeing the shit out of people!
What, like with laxatives?
How does a post talking about comic book movies in a thread about comic book movies get modded offtopic?
In true CSI fashion, they'd also have a program that would be able to analyze the residue and perform an exciting 3D reconstruction of what the person looked like, their position in the room at the time of vaporization, and the type of cereal they ate for breakfast that morning.
But if we combined these two fields of research, perhaps we could build a more powerful bomb that only targets pricks who cut in line!
