Corporation do not provide jobs to people, people provide work to corporations. Corporations never employ people for the benefit of society or the benefit of the worker, that would be corporate suicide.
Yes, hear you. Everytime I go to the States my skin gets all sticky from second hand fat.
We should have law against fat people, They should pay more taxes , because the occupy more volume, add more wear to the roads when driving, put more shit througth the sewers, have bigger impact on the environement, etc...
it;s 1Gig and I do no care how much ram windows support, windows is off faster than the stickers when i buy a netbook. And no, the same model without windows was not avaiable. They probably do not get the "cheaper OEM version of their OS" if they do not install it on all of them. So thay are limiting hardware choices on top of steeling my money with the microsoft tax.

"If the guy who lived next door to you ran a major drug-selling business, but always hid behind some legalese bullshit that he never personally handled the heroin, you would still think he was a fine upstanding member of society and not want him caught then?"
This is a problem only because of arbitrary drug laws. Prohibition never worked, never will, it just makes criminals rich.
"Ditto if he is the organiser of a major child trafficking ring, although technically he never sees the kids."
Think of the children! If kids can be abused, let's ban them, like drugs... err. Seriously a better analogy would be if my neighbor put a sing on is lawn that say "You can buy kids at 34 3rd avenue". I would not mind it at all. The guy at 34 3rd avenue might start having some problems though.
"Its all fine if they stay behind some legal cover for you eh?"
no.

No theft involved. Just copyright infringement. And it's done by the Pirate Bay users not by the Pirate Bay.
"Not a single piece of pirated software is on that website"
This is a true statement, Pirate Bay does not have any software of music at all on their servers, legitimate or not. Well except for a webserver, a tracker and an OS.

Sorry I seem to have lost my train of though, somehow :P
Seriously, did you read the post I replied to?
Why wait for neurostim to deal with drugs this way? think about it.
The law of the US is not the world law (yet)
wow ... I'm flabergasted.
That's because of all the non-smokers Apple repair empolyees that died from second hand smoke.
They count as deaths but not as smokers.

Smokers cost a lot less in Old age benifits than non-smokers.
Smokers pay more taxes.
I'm not sure smokers cost that much to others.
not quite, his art still lives on, as tax shelter.
