Where did you get the crazy notion that its hard for parents to adopt because of a lack of available children? The orphaneges are over-flowing with unwanted children. Its hard for people to adopt because the adoption agencies have ridiculous standards on who can and who cannot be an adoptive parent.
You are an utter moron if you think that someone who is unopposed to abortion commits a crime is enacting "pro-abortion murder".
As for your 35 million figure, it isn't a baby unless its wanted and born. I'd love to see all of the conservatives who are against abortion stomach the taxes it would take to financially support the social programs that would be needed to raise these unwanted kids.
Why should someone come to the aid of a person that they don't like? Do you think any of the non-kicking protesters liked that cop anymore than the attacker did?
Its also not against the law to fail to stop a crime. Its just not a citizen's job. Thats why we have the police in the first place.
Its not your job to convince people to relearn a new operating system and the complimentary software that goes along with it. Most people have difficulty mastering Windows after years and years of exposure to it. Its really pigheaded to do that to someone and shoot their productivity straight to shit just so your favorite open source application can get one more user and make you that much less lonely in your software choices.
Listen here fuckface. I'm black, and those names ARE stupid. Please don't try to convince the rest of the world that this is black "culture". When the majority of names for children are based on consumer products then all you are showing is that your lifestyle is morally bankrupt.
The storage capacity of PDAs and other small devices is increasing all the time. Its time to grow up, move into this century and get a proper filesystem on anything with more than 64mb of storage on it.
Its a video game. Not a civil rights issue. No one is going to care about who boycotted a game company or not. You will not go down in the history books. Children will not revere your legend. All you are doing is hurting yourself by not enjoying the products from a very skilled game creator. Slashdotters really do take themselves too seriously sometimes.

I'm self employed, successful and I make 6 figures a year. And I don't pay even %40 of my income in taxes.
You need to get an accountant.

You are lying your ass off when you say half your income is taxed. That only happens in a FEW countries in Europe.
Now the boycott on them can end! Enough of those pesky morals and ethics. I mean they make AWESOME video games. No one's gonna remember your sacrifice against a game company. So GAME ON!
The method you advocate doesn't work well when you consider government funded institutions are unable to attract the best and brightest on a consistent basis because they can't match private sector salaries.
By your logic the price of any service or product should never ever decrease. Now THAT would really screw the middle class as their buying power would drop to zero.
What are you? A fucking idiot? If you won't bid your labor at an acceptable price then someone else WILL, and you will lose out and starve until you fall off your high horse and get some goddamn sense in your head.
Bidding isn't slavery. Its free market capitalism.
No let us NOT hear the end of one button mouse whinning. Why should anyone have to be "one button" creative? For what purpose? 95% of the computers in the world have two button mice. Its never going to be something people get used to.
So you want me dead huh? Think about that again and then say it. Its an extremely mean thing to say. This is just Slashdot, on a computer, yet so many people say things without thinking first. Thanks.
There's a very large difference between our Revolutionary Rebel heros and extremist terrorists. Some of these extremists advocate for the killing of anyone who is not the same race as them. Ethnic cleansing wasn't a "non-evil" characteristic the last time I checked. Our military is tasked with defending us from all threats great and small. Whether that means killing a very large organized formal enmey military force or picking off individual terrorists one by one, their job is the same nonetheless.
The problem with your assertations is not that they are false, but that they dont' go far enough. Why are you singling out just two industries as guilty of exploitation? Porn and advertising ARE guilty of what you claim but what about the following industries:
Journalism Tobacco Pharmaceuticals Bio-tech Anything internet related Wall Street (Investment banking, retirement funds, credit cards) The Automobile Industry The Food Industry Real Estate Manufacturing The Energy Industry The Bottled Water Industry (as in only idiots buy bottled water, thus they're exploiting the stupid) Academia (Convincing the nation that good jobs are unattainable without a prohibitively expensive college degree, the text book cartels...etc)
Name one industry where people AREN'T or haven't been in the past exploited for financial gain. So what makes pornography and advertising so horrible in comparison to the others?

Its not a cure if its not practical. Abstinence isn't practical for most people. Thats why we as a species keep having babies.
Come up with a plan that actually works, and then you'll be onto something.

Why do you feel its appropriate to force your own software choices onto others?

Is that Free iPod offer thing for real?
So what do you propose? Make the battlefield even? Give our enemies the weapons to take us on toe to toe?
You'd have to severely curtail your precious social programs for that to be possible. Does anyone see that happening anytime soon?
Yay our favorite game company won!
Now the boycott on them can end! Enough of those pesky morals and ethics. I mean they make AWESOME video games. No one's gonna remember your sacrifice against a game company. So GAME ON!
WOOO HOOO!
You're really just bitching about taxation aren't you?
The method you advocate doesn't work well when you consider government funded institutions are unable to attract the best and brightest on a consistent basis because they can't match private sector salaries.
How about simply not breaking the damn law? That ought to make using the internet much more pleasant don't you think?
Why do folks who live in free western democracies decide to revolt against the system because of one tiny annoying law or another?
By your logic the price of any service or product should never ever decrease. Now THAT would really screw the middle class as their buying power would drop to zero.
Your principles are very very expensive.
I and a lot of people cannot afford them.

Pacifist moron, without them joining the military then all of our lives would be in danger.
They kill a few to save a lot.
