Yeah, that would really be more appropriate. Both speeding and piracy just happen all the time and the direct harm is fairly low though it should still be discouraged.
The reason porn cannot be sold to minors is that it is considered worthless and thus not protected by the first amendment. Saying that it does have merit would mean it would need first amendment protections as well and the government would no longer be allowed to prevent stores from selling porn to minors.
The Wii also uses a light and camera, the setup is just reversed. The Wii has the camera in the controller and the light in the sensor bar, from what I heard Move lacks accuracy when it comes to pointing (which is mostly rotation) while of course having more when it comes to detecting controller movement (which is mostly translation). Yes, the Move has a gyroscope but that's not nearly as accurate as the sensor bar setup when it comes to determining where the player is pointing since the gyroscope will drift and the camera cannot recalibrate it (since the light is spherical).
Antibiotics are restricted because careless use allows bacteria to develop immunities against the antibiotics much faster. Having every dimwit self-medicate with them would leave us with tons of antibiotic-immune bacteria.
The US doesn't have a monopoly on religion. Many regions in Europe are extremely conservative and catholic. Christian doctrine says that the afterlife is great but if you commit suicide you'll go to hell. Giving up the fight for your life is not the same as committing suicide, as long as the death is not caused by your own hand it's fine.
The crooked teeth prejudice comes from some Americans being insane enough to have all their teeth crowned over or even voluntarily going for dentures just to have a more regular and whiter smile. The rest of the world considers those measures deranged and disgusting. It also explains how Michael Jackson could end up with so many crazy body modifications since it's already accepted to have all that done to your teeth.
Really? Here in Germany you can just pick any doctor you'd like. Well, some specialists don't accept patients that weren't transferred to them since they don't want random people deciding they need a specialist for a common operation and hogging the valuable time of the specialist.
We can't afford to send much material up there, space stations have to be fairly small with sections having diameters of maybe 3-4 meters, you cannot make a centrifuge out of that.
The small people have already figured out that piracy will happen anyway and just exclude it from their financial calculations completely. In the end it only matters how much you sell, not how many people you prevented from downloading it. People will legally buy things they want and even though a certain part will only pirate that part is predictable and only someone seriously detached from reality would claim there was a serious chance of getting sales from those people. The rate of piracy to sold copies is pretty much constant across all products.
Piracy exists, most people have come to terms with it and just go on with their lives, instead selling to the people who don't pirate which are still more than enough.
Fortunately that's not how the law works. The photo may be property of the photographer but to publish it he'd still need the consent of every identifiable person in the picture (hence the face blurring in photos from many countries). There may be an exception for photographing celebrities but not with random people.
Just ban Flash ads. I've got Flash disabled unless I need it, most sites use it only to annoy the user with animated ads that distract from the text. There are some legitimate uses for it but ads outnumber them.

Yeah, they could limit it to live performances. That wouldn't really benefit society though.

The EU's member states have a combined population of over 500 million people, yet there's plenty of health care going around.

I'll even take the tasteless American cheddar cheese. As long as it is actually cheese and not cheese flavoured oil...
That sounds very runny.

Leave it to US politicians to take a system that's working fine everywhere else and bend it into a massive clusterfuck.

No, the only role for that one is on the far side of an air lock.
I hope it doesn't happen too soon, I don't have any popcorn at hand!
Making an example of someone is called cruel and unusual punishment.

I got a common first AND last name, Google finds over 2 million hits for my name.
Animated GIFs? You mean you don't disable those? There's almost zero legitimate usage of those out there.

Of course not but the question is why there's more of one than the other.
Our royalty's bloodlines still exist but they aren't in power anymore, the most they manage is make an ass of themselves in public.
Considering this was caused mostly by the woman's pre-existing condition it should be treated the same way as a death from natural causes.
You can even buy indie games that are DRM-free and downloaded.
There are even opensource multiplayer games and they work fine too.
