I'm a Christian, but I do know that a lot of my Christian brethren are rather sillily misinformed. I think that's where the ridicule comes from. As for boy scouts, I never was one, but I don't think being one is necessarily bad. AFAIK they learn survival skills, etc. that could benefit them later in life. As for FBLA, that was sort of bizarre bashing that I see nothing wrong with FBLA.
Supposedly they found his penis and put it back on. This according to the article you linked. I've heard of not R'ing TFA, but you should at least R your OWN TFA.
The following companies have asked the FCC to support Sender-ID, so don't act like it's MS trying to trash the industry again. I'm not saying it's any good, but MS is not alone in supporting it.

Ask anyone who has a gmail account already. GMail is basically open by now with how many invites are floating around. Hell, I'll give you one. Is tepplesatslashdot@pineight.com your real e-mail?
You have to live with the fact that most people run Windows. Not most people on Slashdot, perhaps, but most people in general. We all know Linux is better, etc., but honestly it's not ready for the desktop, and until it is you can't expect all the software you want or need to be released for it.
The first amendment says that people have a right to speak. It in now way implies that the rest of us should have to listen. I read at -1, but not because of the first amendment.
If you're a grammar nazi, replace all instances of "they" and "them" in this post with "he or she" and "him or her", respectively. Anyway,
Raise the minimum wage, huh?
Let me explain something to you. If a person's skills are worth $6.00/hr, then the most they are going to make is $6.00/hr, unless of course they are hired by some business which, unlikelily, has some other reason to give them a break. Now, what happens when the minimum wage is raised to $7.00/hr? Blam, all the people without enough skills to be worth $7.00/hr to Big Business are out of a job. Does that make sense to you? Higher minimum wage leads to a higher unemployment rate; there's no other way to look at it.
Disagreeing with the current leadership of the United States does not equate to hatred of those who reside there. I completely disagree with the current leadership, and I'm patriotic through and through. It's because I love my country that I am so sad and disgusted to see George W. Bush and his cronies flushing it down the toilet. "Republican" is no synanym for "patriot", and we're free to disagree with whatever we wish. Learn about our freedoms in this country if you don't fully understand that.
Doesn't stop game manufacturers. I believe one of the common game copy protections requires non-conforming discs, so they just don't call them "CD-ROMs". The "CD" sticker is rather unimportant.
Yes. And no matter how many people download it, it's still going to be just as good of a product. More people downloading it does NOT make it a better product, or help the creator at all, unless of course each download generates revenue.
There's demand because it's a good product. More people using it does not create more demand.
(It might indirectly because the more people who use it, the more software will be developed for it, and thus more people will use it, but that's because of your flawed analogy and has nothing to do with kiddie porn.)
The animation industry pours inordinate amounts of money into making people who look real, and they still aren't convincable yet. Pretty close, but not convincable. What makes you think the government could do better?
Also, I doubt the porn would be as satisfying if one knew it wasn't a real person. I know this would be true of regular, legal porn (for me anyway) and I have no reason to believe a pedophile would think any differently.
The people producing the stuff, maybe. Someone viewing pictures, generally not. Even if the number of viewers is directly responsible for the number of incidents, there are almost certainly more viewers than incidents.

Why does the browser call itself "IE"?

IANA professional photogropher, so I could actually be wrong. Well, there's a first time for everything.
I think you win the honor of being the first Soviet Russia joke on all of Slashdot that was actually funny.
Digital cameras are still way crappier than film cameras.
Black and white pr0n sucks. And we all know pr0n is the only useful application of photography.

I'm not saying Hentai isn't enjoyable, I'm saying I would rather watch real pr0n. I still consider hentai a fetish, albeit a rather common one.
Dude! This is totally offtopic, but check out this cool link.
