Microsoft won't justify themselves, they just have to threaten to take away the Windows licence form that company and thats probably why they won;t go after Google.
if you shoot for sport (targets only) then they don;t fall into the equation, but all the others that shoot animals for "sport", show off to their friends etc are generally dick heads
comment typical of a person who thinks we should not try and make the place safer to live in. I guess he'd also approve of not testing medicines, car brakes, keeping supplies of sarin gas, etc....
"There's something else wrong with our society and THAT' s exacerbating this."
unfortunately the dickheads that derive their bravery from behind a gun don't understand common sense. These are the same dick heads that start a fight over being "dis-respected" because they don't understand what respect is.
"Why would Rome fabricate treason against itself? " to make a martyr. Religious writings don;t count as fact, i've only ever come across one historian referring to a Jesus but he was only referred to as a brother of one disciples (whose name escapes me).
if they are doing things different in practice to what their books say then they aren't following the book and are therefore cherry picking what to do and believe. My point was related to your comment "The vast majority of religions are based on cultural identity, not fear.", fear is the key in Abrahamic based religions.
"What philosopher said to love your fellow man as you love yourself? What philosopher said if a man asks you to walk a mile with him, walk three? What philosopher was anti-materialist?"
i bet if you went further back than 2000 years you'd find someone who said similar way before it was reported to have said by "jesus", its all common sense to people who have compassion. Compassion wasn't invented by "jesus".
Any Jewish historians write him up? Rome created the Christian mythology by clever editing of events, letters and scrolls so i'm not sure i could trust a roman historian. When did these roman historians write up about him?
I've never felt freer since i got off the fence about whether there is a god of not. I finally fell on the side of "there is no god". I feel so free now. And i bet other philosophers said the same thing jesus was alleged to have said hundreds of years before he did
"What is the purpose of life? Without God, it has no purpose whatever, which explains this study's findings."
There is NO purpose to this life other than reproduction. Get over it. If you make a purpose to your life then great but that is down to you not some mythical being.
"I pity materialists."
i think most people would pity materialists who think objects are the the meaning to their life. The religious are materialists as well as anyone else might be, just look how many of them are in the Republican party wanting to deny poor people help as it will affect their own income.
"what Jesus taught made a lot of sense. If everyone acted like he taught, the world would be a wonderful place"
there were other philosophers on the planet long before he is alleged to have existed. What he is alleged to have said is common sense so why attribute it to one person who may or may not have existed and make him god-like?
"Nonsense. Religions generally are cultural practices, just like how you tend to dress like people in your subculture, you tend to participate in the same festivals as people in your country, and you tend to eat the same food as your ethnic group."
I presume you've not read the bible or other such books.
I'd say religion is the lazy way. You "automatically" seem to have a purpose once you follow a religion because one of the arguments the religious throw at agnostics/athiests is "you can't have a purpose in life if you don;t believe".
The only purpose to be alive is to reproduce. If you find a purpose in life doing something productive with your time that helps others and it makes you feel great then pat yourself on the back and say well done.

The only people who have capitulated own Desktop/Laptop WIndows licenses so i hold judgement on legitimacy of their claims
Which companies have capitulated and bought an Android license via a court case that Microsoft won?
I meant Windows on PC's, laptops etc not Mobile
Microsoft won't justify themselves, they just have to threaten to take away the Windows licence form that company and thats probably why they won;t go after Google.

it lies in the mind set, if we had no criminals then we wouldn;t need a judicial system

"Now let's get down to business: would you like to touch my penis?"
Can i touch it with my 3D printed gun acting as a hammer?????
no, but it would have the desired effect on a plane in the air

"If you believe life is shitty and with no meaning, it seeps into everything else and taints it. It becomes your default position."
Yes but that is your fault and no-one else's
