Sexual contact with a child (i.e. someone under the age of consent) is always rape, legally speaking, because the child is held to have been unable to consent to the activity. Violence or the lack thereof is irrelevant.
It's not just the USA. I'm in the Canadian military and recently received an email from the IT people warning us not to access Wikileaks because:
The site attracts a large volume of traffic. Given the nature of the material, third parties could collect and exploit visitor data or deliver malicious software through downloaded files.
Conducting web searches for this information may expose the user’s computer to malicious search engine poisoning attacks.
Some information on Wikileaks remains classified and could constitute a breach of security policy if viewed from, or downloaded to, DND/CF computers.
The third point is the one that the US used in this submission. The first two are just entertaining.
And then there's RailWorks, a $40 game that has $920 worth of DLC available on Steam, and more comes out practically every week. It's perhaps the only game that could be as expensive to play as the hobby that it simulates (model trains).
The black powder part of a model engine is only to deploy the parachute. OTOH, you probably want the parachute deployed to stop the rocket from lawn-darting someone 100 kft below you.
So, hypothetically, if Assange did rape some random Swedish woman, and Mandela wasn't around to watch (maybe that's not his thing), you would be unwilling to accept her testimony?
My former roommate grew up in Kuwait, and has awesome stories like guys doing doughnuts in the middle of major intersections and hanging out the windows, or seven lanes of traffic on a road that only has four lanes. He saw the same thing in other Mid-East countries. His conclusion is that they're all crazy.
GP has specifically asked about "nuke the USA" game. Nuclear strikes are carried at a "high level of abstraction" in reality as well.
This was something that DEFCON nailed so very well. Playing to the soundtrack of muffled beeps and ventilation fans, then hearing someone sobbing in the background as "5 Million Dead" glows over Los Angeles, was enough to make me stop playing, creeped out.
I had a ridiculous game once as the Romans... half the world, way ahead in production and a modest lead in tech. Several cities with over 200 hammers/turn, repeat-building ICBMs, and many of the other large cities repeat-building Tac Nukes for my subs and Missile Cruisers. Babylon, the other major power, decided it would be a good time to declare war. Three hundred mushroom clouds later, they had no cities larger than size 1. Zooming all the way out and seeing one side of the planet glowing yellow was pretty cathartic.
As a Canadian, I haven't been paying too much attention to the fine details of the health insurance reforms. Reading the Wikipedia article, I can't find any mention of jail time, and the 'fines' are $95 or 1% of income, and can be waived in cases of financial hardship. Underwhelming.
Anyway, 'the government taking over an industry' is what Bush did with GM to bail it out, or what Truman tried to do to the steel industry. Regulations != takeover.
Reading bills would be work. If they wanted to do work, they would have picked a career with job security, not the prospect of termination rolling around every couple of years, tied largely to the performance of superiors upon whom you have no influence.
Or they could have realized that access to a market with over fifteen percent of the world's population would let them rake in more cash than the additional sales from demonstrating security. Most people with Blackberries want a smartphone, not Fort Knox.

You do realize Canada has been in on the ISS since inception as a project
Get your facts right, Canada was involved in the ISS long before Inception was filmed.
I'm appalled at myself. The first thing I noticed in the summary was 'That should be "its", not "it's".

No need to suck up to them, just wait for a cloudy day and the resistance will triumph.
The New York Times wasn't likely to skip bail.

Yeah, and the Republicans are progressive because they had Lincoln! Oh wait, maybe parties change over time.

My solution is to read the negative reviews and see whether the flaws that they point out sound like they'd bother me.
That's what you get for mixing the least healthy parts of Ontario, Alberta, and Quebec cuisine at the same time.

That Hitler guy always struck me as a phony. No-one actually has a moustache like that.

For really high bitrates, sneak some data into your collection of memorable TV static.
Parent is insightful, not funny.

What if the reason the Internet is full of porn is actually that all the images are carrying encoded transmissions?
