"Anubis, you've been a very naughty boy, so you have to go out and play football in the park with your friends, chase after girls, and go to bed late."

Fight the power, man.

You were lucky. In my day you were flogged with a cat-o-nine-tails even if you'd done nothing wrong. If you did something really bad (like getting a Latin declension wrong) then you were summarily executed. Twice if it involved girls.

And you try telling that to kids today...

It would be settled (or rather thrown) out of court because its's fucking illegal to make commercial use of a model without a signed release form.

But of course, on slashdot, as long as something makes money it must be good because it's not the government.

So, you don't agree with him then?

The OP made a not unreasonable analogy. Just because you subscribe to the slashdot hivemind belief that (a) copyright is bollocks and (b) everyone has a god-given right to make money in any way they like *cough* uber *cough* does not mean that there aren't valid counter-beliefs you can argue for.

FTFY.

Where is the fucking ethical ambiguity in being caught for speeding? If you are genuinely rushing your pregnant wife to hospital, deal with the consequences - big deal you have to pay a fine.

And jaywalking is, as far as I know, a uniquely American piece of absurdity, but just because there are some ridiculous crimes on the statute books does not mean that all crimes on the statue books are ridiculous.

As a guess, he thinks he's being clever, like a lot of people who end up in prison for psychopathically profiting from breaking the law.

And don't forget it's all a hologram inside a computer anyway, so let's all just kill ourselves and escape the Matrix.

Yet another example of FEMINISTS interfering with my freedom of expression. My grandfather fought in the war to protect our freedom, and now we let SJWs take it away, piece BY piece in the name of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!.

Literally Hitler. THANKS Obama.

You shouldn't anthropomorphise rocks. They get really upset.

Yes, clearly these so-called scientists just made up a number based on no evidence whatsoever and published it in a well known journal without anyone (other than you) checking on their methodology.

...I'm going to give one anyway because this is the fucking internet.

Just as you can be a committed Christian and go to Church and read the Bible without wanting to kill people, so you can also be a committed Muslim and go to your Mosque and study the Koran without wanting to kill people. Otherwise, there would be literally millions of terrorists just in Europe.

Not all people in Northern Ireland during the Troubles were terrorists, but all the Northern Irish terrorists during the Troubles were from Northern Ireland, so anyone from Northern Ireland was probably a terrorist.

The argument is ludicrous. Hint: the number of terrorists is tiny compared with the total population.
