That may be true, but there is a branch of government whose sole purpose for existing is to interpret the Founding Fathers' intention in the words of the Constitution. That's pretty much what the Supreme Court does all day.

That's all fine and good, but profanity is words, like any other word. If I say shit, I'm in trouble. if I say poop, it's okay. Why? Why make one word worse than another of the same meaning? Somehow, saying God dangit instead of God Dammit is better. Won't you be going to hell for both anyway?

Because the majority of Americans consider sex something to be kept behind closed doors. It's a double standard, really, to say violence is okay but sex isn't, but nobody ever called the American voter rational.

big difference between switching your brand of deodorant and going out and killing somebody.

Well, from what I've read, it's not judgment per se, but the complete processing of the possible consequences involved in a decision that doesn't fully develop until early adulthood. I'm not sure this applies to the issue at hand, though, except maybe that they'll stay up too late playing. The part of the brain that knows right and wrong are developed by the age of six, and that is ultimately what will stop them from going on a killing rampage. So maybe you ought not let a four year old play the game, but I don't see a problem with teenagers.

For some of us moral justification just isn't necessary; intellectual property isn't real property. There are ways to monetize your IP without resorting to imaginary scarcity.

On this particular point: I think that the Napster case proved that not knowing that a file is illegal is not a valid defense.
All of your other points are spot on, though.

I think it would be would be more analogous to you sending someone to a place where they could buy stolen goods. Whether or not you profit from the sale of these goods is irrelevant; you knowingly enabled the sale of said goods. I think a jury could go either way on this, the big difference being that copyright violation isn't a felony... Is there such a thing as an accessory to a civil crime?

I believe he meant the first part of the millennium.

Not true, because there are legitimate reasons to use it beyond those that violate an EULA. If its only purpose was to illegally run Windows, then they would have a case.

Slim Jims have a legitimate purpose. Products that have no legitimate purpose besides breaking the law are regularly outlawed in the U.S.

That would be nice if people had the dedication to try and understand Linux; the fact of the matter is that while it may be a better operating system, it's far more difficult to use than Windows. I honestly don't understand why even a relatively easy to use distribution such as Ubuntu occasionally requires hours of reading and editing of config files to get everything working, whereas with Windows everything usually works out of the box. I suppose it has a lot to do with vendor support.

I'm very interested in this 4D desktop you mention. A desktop that lets you operate in three dimensions and travel through time. Awesome!

That's because we have two eyes with two different perspectives, and the 2d images from each gets put together into a 3d image in the brain. Try using just one eye and see how much depth perception you have.

It's not that bad; with the right software you can adjust the font. I rarely read books that aren't on my DS anymore. It's more convenient to download and upload to the DS than go to the bookstore.
