Is it really too much to ask for you and your wife to pay for your own birth control? As a celibate slashdotter I resent having to help cover the cost of your biannual matings.
that doesn't mean I think people should be able to become multi-millionares by helping people distribute other people's work
That's pretty much how it's done. The owners of your company don't pay you royalties. Bust just like them, the guy who owns one of the most popular websites in the world deserves to be rich.
The billions were made through assholery: laundering the money through a personal charity to pretend that a clean asshole is not an asshole is just another way of shitting on the world.
Funny that if he were actually an agent of a foreign state the US government would keep its hands off. Reporting to the people of the United States seems to make him a greater criminal.
Every murder has implicit in it the threat that anyone could be next. Oversensitivity and fear are not legitimate grounds for punishment, and actually increase prejudice by unjustly privileging minorities.
Survival of the species doesn't count as a purpose? Hard to see how more genetically similar and increasingly defective babies born to decrepit mothers wouldn't be deleterious.
Breaking into someone's house is equivalent to reaching into your pocket when a cop tells you to put your hands up: at the moment deadly force is legitimate, though disobeying a cop or trespassing are very minor crimes. Now if you are shooting them in the back the moment has perhaps passed, but the burglars are in a way still threatening the citizen's life by running because if he feels forced to tackle them his life will be in serious danger. Certainly in many circumstances cops "exterminate" criminals who are too difficult to arrest.
This is no different than a buyer trying to go after a seller for overcharging them for something after they realize they paid too much for it..
People do this all the time if they can by returning the item. It's hard to determine the market value for a trademark so I'm not sure if it's feasible to find a middle ground between "gouging" and "giving it away", but Apple's tactics are fairly sleazy, like using a fake picture on a dating website.
And isn't it better to live in a world without MRSA and more government regulation than a world with MRSA and more lawsuits?
Though we'll probably end up with MRSA and more regulations (and probably immunity from lawsuits). Government officials didn't give farmers an exception to antibiotic prescription regulations because of political philosophy: they did it for a cut of the profit.
A shitty job is never going to attract quality people, certainly not when the deadwood in the union hoards most of the payroll and job-security for themselves.
Vehicle tracking is inevitable in the UK, but in a repressive state GPS jammers cannot be tolerated anyway because they are "anti-social". The UK already monitors whether you have a TV in your house and requires that women in advertisements aren't too attractive, so jammers clearly would have to be stopped by overwhelming force.
The law recognizes that women have total control over their pregnancy. That means total responsibility. A man has no obligation if a woman chooses to give birth unless he chooses to be its legal parent. Rapists should of course be liable for the full cost of an abortion, in additional to other penalties.
That's like saying that someone planning to stick his dick in a light-socket should give equal weight to your enjoyable experience (with a socket that happened to be disconnected) even though everyone else who did it was badly injured or killed.
"Whore" is more commonly used metaphorically than literally. Submitting proof from a medical doctor that you are not an anus is not going you prove you were slandered when someone referred to you as an "asshole".
Sure, if you accept that she gets full control over your kids and property it will be a peaceful divorce. That's what women mean when they talk about a man being an "adult".
You support government thought-control of yourself and 100s of millions of adults to hypothetically protect a small minority of children from an imaginary threat while your heart bleeds for government Ivy League lawyers, government media whores, government espionage creeps, corporate cubicle/retail drones, etc. who eagerly sold their souls. Study at the feet of a real thinker like Larry Flynt until you understand what it means to be free.

If you were making their hourly rate you'd sleep less. True, you wouldn't feel that you were "deprived", but you'd be tired.
The problem is we're going to be dealing with their shit for the rest of our lives, and things will probably get worse before they get better.

"Scumbag"? You probably just envy his success.
"Schmitz" is better?

Older saying goes "The cure is worse than the disease" so prevention is 16x worse, or equivalent to driving faster than 2880mph
It protects everyone from being targeted based on religion, politics, race, sexual orientation, etc.
Protects whites from blacks, straights from gays, Christians from Muslims?

One million Americans lined up when McDonald's announced they were hiring 50000.

A budget has never stopped the government before. 25 is nothing--national banks probably employ hundreds of FBI informants.

I think pretty much everyone in the state legislature dreams of a federal government position.
