From reading this document published on his personal fan site in response to these allegations, I take that his view is that marriage is, by definition, a bond between a man and a women.

Just speculating, but he may not have any issue with a homosexual bond at all so long as that bond isn't called "marriage".

Protip to corporations: if you want to sell stuff, you need to have a middle class to buy it, which means you can't horde your funds or merely cycle them among the already wealthy.

"trickle down economics" works as well as "bottom up economics", but really what we need is "middle to middle economics", in which the majority of the population earn similar amounts.

Somehow, every system we build, no matter how new and updated, an aristocracy forms at the top of the power structure and attempts to rule the masses indefinitely.

If only that were true! The system is set up so that the US government BORROWS from the Federal Reserve.

For every dollar borrowed, a dollar twenty five is owed. It is literally impossible to pay all of the dollars back because, well, there aren't that many dollars in existence.

Unless, of course, the US government decided to actually start printing its own money again instead of handing that power to a private corporation with private stock holders.

Well, there goes another life to a living hell. Its his fault, right? He made an error.

Whats a good metaphor in computer terms?....
Developing a program and while running tests, if you ever get an error, trashing the entire program and starting from scratch?

Whats a good metaphor in sports terms?....
While playing basketball the person with the ball steps out of bounds and he may now never play basketball again?

I personally have a very high regard for human life, more than anything else on this planet.
I feel that we should nurture each other as absolutely best as possible. This is what I want for myself, for everyone.
If something is wrong, we should try to fix that wrong at whatever expense.

He caused psychological and social damage to some young women.
Should society throw his life away now, forcing him into permanent submission to its will?
Should society make him a slave? Shall we battle them in an area, to exact our price?

Society should seek to repair him. When he has been evaluated as repaired, return his freedom to him.
We should also examine and document this whole situation for science, for psychology.
What happened to him?!? Why did he slip? What events or lack of events can he identify that lead him to his error?
Run psychological evaluations of this man while treating him humanely. Treat him like a human being.
Show him the respect of another living creature.
Don't force him to be raped. Don't force him to be a slave. Don't force him to live in hell.

Don't act out of anger, vengeance, hate or disgust. Act out of love.

Act like a father, act like a mother, for society is our ultimate mother, ultimate father.

No one is perfect. Everyone slips to their carnal callings.

It is only out of mutual self-understanding that we continue to progress into our mutual full potential.

Here is someone's son. He has hurt many daughters, no doubt, but he is still someone's son.
If society decides to ruin his life, they will also be ruining the lives of his family.
They will also be hurting the lives of all of their family friends.

His children, should he bare, shall be affected. All of OUR future shall be affected. I want us to create a positive future.

I don't want to live in a world where rape exists ANYWHERE, where murder exists.

Where a reactive and non-proactive thoughts prevail.

Please, can we love each other? Can we help each other?
Must our response to people breaking rules is to always beat them down into painful submission?
Must every vibrant and curious and creative soul that wanders out of bounds be crushed?

Do you really think Google hasn't thought of this? I have no doubt that the algorithm makes use of all available options and without a doubt does so much faster and more efficiently than any human ever could.

Humans are capable at doing many things well, but machines are entirely built from the ground up to serve a very specific purpose. That's why we have them - they're better than what a human could do.

Humans - always thinking that they're something special just because they don't yet have anything obviously better than themselves to compare themselves to.
