In the USA, you can come before the White House and shout curses against Ronald Reagan. In the USSR, you can come before the Kremlin and shout curses against Ronald Reagan.
Honestly, I think unless medically necessary, circumcising a child of any gender should be illegal.
Perhaps you are not aware, but this would outlaw Judaism among other religions. Why be such an extremist?
Because the right keep your body safe from harm trumps the right to impose your stupid supernatural beliefs to anyone else, including your own children.
I take it you haven't seen the common botch jobs on circumcision?
Have you? Isn't it enough to publicize your objection to routine (non-religious and non-medical) male circumcision so that parents can decide on their own? What could possibly motivate you to ban it outright?
I am opposed to theft and murder. But why be a radical and expect those things to be banned? I should simply publicize my objections, and hope people realize those things are not cool. Just like Lord William Bentinck used diplomacy and appeasement to make the Thugee stop their robbing and killing... oh wait, no, he had them hanged.
I don't know about the NES one, but Earthbound (Mother 2) for the SNES is not "ultra long", I beat it in a weekend. As a comparison, it took me several weeks to beat Final Fantasy III (then again, it has a lot of level grinding).
Incorrect. If you mean game consoles only, the Magnavox Odyssey was released in 1972. If you count computer games, they've existed since the early 1950s.

This just confirms something to me that certain classes of laissez-faire types keep missing: the private sector can just be as bad as the government for the market. The only thing keeping them in check is ironically government regulation of the market.
What you missed here, actually, is that they can only do it if the State gives them such power.
In fact, if you want to post stories that accurately reflect its accomplishments, try headlines like: "Second Life: Publisher Creates Sexually Explicit Virtual Meeting Place for Furries and Other Fetishists."

"It is said that he [Robin Hood] fought against the looting rulers and returned the loot to those who had been robbed, but that is not the meaning of the legend which has survived. He is remembered, not as a champion of property, but as a champion of need, not as a defender of the robbed, but as a provider of the poor. He is held to be the first man who assumed a halo of virtue by practicing charity with wealth which he did not own, by giving away goods which he had not produced, by making others pay for the luxury of his pity. He is the man who became the symbol of the idea that need, not achievement, is the source of rights, that we don't have to produce, only to want, that the earned does not belong to us, but the unearned does. He became a justification for every mediocrity who, unable to make his own living, had demanded the power to dispose of the property of his betters, by proclaiming his willingness to devote his life to his inferiors at the price of robbing his superiors." - - - Ayn Rand, ATLAS SHRUGGED
If you ever actually used macOS in that time you never would have said something like that. I don't like windows but OS7 and OS8 were horrible.
Well yeah, they crashed quite a bit, and crashed hard -- no protected memory. But, interface-wise, they were far beyond everyone else's offerings at the time.

Reminds me of an 80s joke....

There should be a law that punished with death penalty any attempts to raise taxes.
Oh, you mean the screen where I plug the game consoles?
But remember... Genesis did what Nintendon't. Nowadays, Nintendoes something original, and the others don't.
A correction to the article.
This game is a 3D space shooter. (StarFox, Shadow Squadron, Star Wars Arcade, Darxide)
This game is not a space shooter. (Ikaruga, Thunder Force, Darius, the original Silpheed)
Completely different genres there.
Check the wikipedia entry , it lists several modern alternatives to Hypercard.

As a sidenote... Gustave Eiffel also designed the Statue of Liberty's internal structure.
