You've provided some factual statements, but not justifications for such policies. AFAIK, we don't have those limits because the market works better for sorting those things out.
Because it's just driving a passenger around for money. I've done that with friends and acquaintances quite a few times, albeit in a less formal setting.
I always suspected that cleverbot was actually just randomly cycling me through confused humans every so often. Thus, it was more of a reverse turing test, convincing you that humans are bots.
I focused more on the parts about limited flexibility and endurance. It doesn't really matter that much if they are physically strong if there is no real life situation where it is useful If you could carry 500 lbs, no sweat, but you can't get a good grip on the 200 lb object because your arms are like tree trunks, that strength isn't all that practical. I've carried my share of heavy objects with many shapes through many different areas, and grip and maneuvering will be the bottleneck far more often long before you start to even approach bodybuilder territory.
Testicles are on the outside because they produce more sperm that way (because it's at a lower temperature than they would be inside the body). Keep in mind that they didn't become such an easy target until we started walking upright, thus making them something that can be hit from front or behind. So far, we don't seem to have developed anything that works better than 'avoid getting kicked in the nuts,' which is itself a pretty strong instinct.
Except for the Florence Nightingale effect and the appeal that fighting scars can have. That doesn't really change the theory that much, though, as truly 'winning' a fight rarely happens. One party just happens to lose less. Thus, the square jawed men are the ones that can get their ass kicked, not learn their lesson, but still not die.
In order for it to be 'practical strength,' it has to have practical usage. However, very little useful work requires that degree of strength. What scenarios would that degree of strength be useful in outside of weightlifting competitions?
Music involves lots of different sections of the brain, and singing, especially in an operatic setting, requires a certain degree of cardiovascular/respiratory fitness. AFAIK, operatic singing has no real downsides other than requiring a lot of time and probably ruling out certain lifestyle elements.
I think you misunderstand. Rape, murder, and theft all cause a harm which can be clearly defined. Causing harm is a consequence of an action. I'm saying that they inherently have consequences to society, unlike copyright infringement, which doesn't cause harm in the traditional sense, since there's no rival good involved (one's body would be a rival good in this context).
I believe it is you that needs a welcome to reality, where abstractions are not comparable to objects that physically exist. If we lived in a world where physical goods somehow became non-rival, property as we know it probably would and should cease to exist.
If there were no consequences, they wouldn't be murder, rape, and theft. The aforementioned are all wrong because of the consequences. If you could murder someone without anyone being harmed, it shouldn't be a criminal offense. That's why murder within video games is not a crime.
In all fairness, these don't have many large deviations from existing Lego sets. Minifigs are mostly the same except for the designs on the clothes and accessories like hair (which seem to be in line with what's already been used), and most of the rest of the set is existing pieces or something very similar to existing pieces.
Really? I was under the impression that the reason why we toe the "NSA is evil" line is because they have wanton disregard for the fundamental principles of government in addition to the gross incompetence in regards to internal security meaning that any malicious actor competent enough to infiltrate the NSA has access to tons of information on anybody on the planet. The impression that the NSA is the only country without warrantless wiretaps was never something I've heard claimed. In fact, I heard the opposite, saying that our mass surveillance makes us like China, Iran, etc.
Computer related crimes are already too inflated already, and there are means for which most any serious intrusion could be met with stacked charges. There are probably one or two cases a decade where this might be needed, but I suspect it will be abused far more often than that, especially since 'national security' is involved.
Snowden is a traitor to the government, but not the people.
The NSA are traitors to the people.. I don't care at all about being a traitor to the government, and you shouldn't either.
In all fairness, the help your wife receives may be due to being female moreso than being blonde. How attractive she is may also be a significant factor, although being blonde may make her appear more attractive to many.
Two wrongs don't make a right, and 'in some fashion' is not necessarily the same as spying on the Chancellor.
I'm not convinced the NSA is collecting more information about me than Google is, or whoever puts the ads for stuff I look at in Amazon on other web pages./blockquote.
Perhaps you should stay abreast of the news better. The NSA is collecting more information than they have the capacity to hold.

Really? I can see reasons why it could be horribly impractical, but the reason why people would want it is because it's a hovercraft.
How many Bothans died to bring us this information?

Government agencies are not citizens. If a program cannot be proven to be lawful, we should not allow it.
That it's hard work for them to comply with the law is their problem, not our. If you can't play by the rules, you shouldn't play..
Those are jobs that require strength, but not really the strength of a body builder. The closest might be the logger.

Someone being raped is a consequence. It doesn't necessarily have a large consequence for the rapist, but there are consequences.

Because our justice system is based upon the notion of due process. We've let murderers go because cops bungled far smaller things.

I think his meaning was that being a habitable planet necessarily includes a magnetic field strong enough to keep the atmosphere intact.
