According to wikipedias list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides_by_death_toll) that would be:

He wasn't saying it was "right" for people to copy it, he was saying that the "3130 pirates" statistic is completely meaningless on its own, it says nothing regarding how successful the game would have been without piracy.
If it is morally defensible to pirate the game is a completely different question and has no impact on his post.
As far as I know, colloidal silver has not been proven to have any beneficial effect. It can however make you look like a smurf: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argyria
While it's essentially true that Christmas was created to compete with existing pagan holidays and thus carried over some traditions, the idea that it _is_ a pagan holiday is foolish. The name "Christmas" literally means "Christ mass".
Yes, in english. However, in many other countries, sharing most of the same christmas traditions, this just isn't true. Here in sweden it's called "Jul", and I'm pretty sure a lot of other languages have other names that make no reference to christ. Just saying it's a christian holiday because of the name doesn't stand up.

How is that not a vaccine? That's exactly how most vaccines are made.
The guy who buys the used game might not be a direct customer, but the original customer who bought it new might be interested in whether there is a good second hand market to sell it on to once he's done with it, and how much money he can get back by doing so.
This. People seem to forget the second part of the name, and somehow forgetting that it's a swedish company, much of it quite separated from the Sony-part.

How about no jury, like any of the other better working legal systems in the modern world?
No, not worth the risk. Someone might send me a U2 album.!
I for one would much prefer a bag of crap to a U2 album.
Good thing some of us kept the count then. The grand total: 0 times. You however...

Nope. Xperia Z has already been out for over a month with a 1080p display.
Weight is measured in Newtons. The pound is also a unit of mass.
