Each of these problems lies in poor opinions from both sides of the aisle - right and left. Society is getting these things wrong - from parenting to the schools - and it's leading to more abortions.
You'd be stuck with the less than apt term "Pro-Life" because searching for "anti abortion" or "abortion is immoral" and similar wouldn't get past the filter.
Works for me. So can they file all the previous abortion results under anti-life?
Yeah, they are also one of the few to push selling DRM-free music. So how does that fit in with your little conspiracy theory? Do you honestly believe that Apple would still sell DRM music if the music labels didn't require it?
It is Apple's best interest to sell music that can only be played on their portable.
If they also stopped all their crimes entirely, stopped their disconnection and fair game policies and stopped suing people for spreading their beliefs, oh and stopped harassing their critics and using bull-baiting tactics then yes they'd be a religion, but as you can see, that's a lot more than simply stopping charging.
Traditional religious groups do all of those things though. Really, the charging up fron thing is the only unique attribute that sets them apart.
The fact is that none of these pagan religion concepts existed before 100AD. There is no written historical account for these concepts before this time (such as mithras was born of a virgin, or osiris was ressurected). All pagan religions reference these concepts in written history after the birth of Christ.
They were talking about the sacrament of communion as far back as 2500 BC: (from Wikipedia)
Since the ancient Nilotics believed that humans were whatever they eat, this sacrament was, by extension, able to make them celestial and immortal. The doctrine of the eucharist ultimately has its roots in prehistoric (symbolic) cannibalism, whose practitioners believed that the virtues and powers of the eaten would thus be absorbed by the eater. This phenomenon has been described throughout the world.
One of the oldest of the Pyramid Texts is the Unas[14] from the 6th Dynasty (circa 2500 BC). It shows that the original ideology of Egypt commingled with Osirian concepts. Although ultimately given a high place in heaven by order of Osiris, Unas is at first an enemy of the gods and his ancestors, whom he hunts, lassoes, kills, cooks, and eats so that their powers may become his own. This was written at a time when the eating of parents and gods was a laudable ceremony, and this emphasizes how hard it must have been to stamp out the older order of cannibalism. "He eats men, he feeds on the gods...he cooks them in his fiery cauldrons. He eats their words of power, he swallows their spirits.... He eats the wisdom of every god, his period of life is eternity.... Their soul is in his body, their spirits are within him." A parallel passage is found in the Pyramid Text of Pepi II, who is said to have "seizeth those who are a follower of Set...he breaketh their heads, he cutteth off their haunches, he teareth out their intestines, he diggeth out their hearts, he drinketh copiously of their blood!" (line 531, ff). Although crude, this was a core concept, the conviction that one could receive immortality by eating the flesh and blood of a god who had died
I don't give a fuck if you believe in Xenu or Jesus or the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but the Church Scientology lies to and steals from it's 'believers', and does horrible psychological damages to people and their familes. No mainstream religion is remotely as corrupt and sadistic.
That is a very bold statement. I thought we were in the middle of a war against radical Islam...
"What affects [sic?] me, is the severity of these bugs that need to be fixed. That was the correct usage of "affect" - please refrain from being a grammar Nazi if you are unable to judge correct grammar.
I believe, grammatically speaking of course, that a question mark tends to indicate uncertainty.
The main reason - this only deals with known vulnerabilities and the time it takes to patch. Nowhere is discussed vulnerabilities that either vendor knows exists, but releases no information and no patch to fix it.

New Orleans was a failure of the municipality, or, at worst a state responsibility. It was deffinitely a case of the people reaping the fruits of their indifference - if they had bothered to elect a good mayor, and properly fund their police force, the whole situation would have turned out a lot different. The federal government should have never needed to step in, except to provide limited support as requested by the state and municipality.
Information does NOT want to be free. It doesn't want anything. It has no brain, no mind, no feelings, no heart, nothing. It is incapable of wanting
"Marijuana wants to be lagle". Doesn't that sound like some stupid stoner got one of those brain farts and actually remembered it later and wrote it down?
Information, due to its nature, tends to freedom. That doesn't make a catchy slogan though.
Marijuana, by its nature, tends to cost about $40 for 1/8 oz.
I'll point out it was a jury who returned that verdict, and jurors in the case have repeatedly pointed out that the reason they ruled the way they did was because they felt the defendant was lying to them and the Court in her own defense.
Actually, the jury ruled that way because the judge instructed them that capability was all that was required for a guilty verdict. Just as the GP said...
have a bad habit of believing everything they're taught instead of researching it for themselves. People who doubt evolution make better scientists than those who believe it because its well accepted. Doubt is good. Doubt is a healthy part of critical thinking. Combined with research and possibly experimentation (although mostly research in evolution's case), this makes for good science.
"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." --Sir Isaac Newton
It is impossible to verify every scientific theory used in the course of all but the most trivial research. You advocate never standing on anyone's shoulders.
Funny you should use Ben Franklin as an example. Those evil pirates profiting from his freely offerd work.
From Wikipedia:
Franklin was a prodigious inventor. Among his many creations were the lightning rod, the glass harmonica, the Franklin stove, bifocal glasses, and the flexible urinary catheter. Franklin never patented his inventions; in his autobiography he wrote, "... as we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously."[8] His inventions also included social innovations, such as paying forward.
But who is going to control the consumption of gravity? Just imagine the peril if we use our precious resources like gravity on things like lamps, when we have coal to burn.
Everybody relax! We all know that gravity is just a theory.
You might have more fun with the debate if you took the time to get your facts (not theories) straight.
Likewise we still only see macro exolution in the fosil record and haven't observed it in living animals.
Evo in the news: Musseling in on evolution
This news brief, from September 2006, reviews a recent case of evolution in action. In just 15 years, mussels have evolved in response to an invasive crab species. Find out how biologists uncovered this example of evolution on double time.
Evolution is a theory. I won't go into the scientific definition of theory here; that's covered quite well in this document that was previously talked about on Slashdot. Evolution is not a fact (at least, not according to science) because it is untestable at this time.
Evolution is is a theory AND a group of facts. This article explains it better and the author has a phd so understands science.
FTA: Scientific understanding requires both facts and theories that can explain those facts in a coherent manner. Evolution, in this context, is both a fact and a theory. It is an incontrovertible fact that organisms have changed, or evolved, during the history of life on Earth.
I gave Eclipse a spin, just a few weeks ago. It was a confusing, frustrating and fruitless experience. I wasted a whole afternoon trying to get it working.
This isn't a market, it is one website who chose to make this deal with the scientologists, as is their right. Presumably, unless ebay is an actual monopoly (doubtful), it would not be in their best interest to limit resale of too many items since most of their money probably comes from such resale.

Then why do they sell music that plays on other players?
It is also in Ford's best interest to sell cars for a million each, why don't they?
Yeah, they are also one of the few to push selling DRM-free music. So how does that fit in with your little conspiracy theory? Do you honestly believe that Apple would still sell DRM music if the music labels didn't require it?

Most christian churches do not charge their members thousands of dollars on compulsive seminaries. Tithing is voluntary, last time I looked.
Answer honestly. If the CoS suddenly decided to go donation only would you agree they are now a religion or would you move the goalposts?
