Agreed They've chosen atheism and then proceeded to remain ignorant about religions for the rest of their lives. Yet if a Christian (his target group and, to GP, it's derived from a proper name you moron, capitalize it) says something untrue about atheism, they'll be hopping in place with their little fingers pointing in accusation and yelling about indoctrination and brainwashing.

"Far too many of them". Nice and vague. It's also the kind of phrase that can be used against any statistic except perfection. "We only found one half of one percent fit that definition." "That's far too many."

"Most of" the cops I know are decent and honest men who want to guard their communities. There, your vagueness only supported by personal assertion has been countered by mine.

Copyright infringement is theft because it denies a copyright owner the ability to sell the product for which they have the copyright and thus they lose money.

Thanks for the nostalgia! I remember when people tried to claim that with a straight face back in the 80s, but no one believed it even then. Can you imagine that someone actually said that ridiculous crap in seriousness once? I'm glad we've moved past those ludicrously mind-bending contortions and can laugh about them now, knowing full well that no one actually thinks that way anymore.

Sharing: Willingly giving a portion of your possessions

Bzzt. I can share hugs, music, friendship, laughter, pain, and joy with others, but I wouldn't call any of those "possessions".

to another, denying you use or benefit thereof.

That presumes scarcity. If I share your post on Twitter, you are not deprived of it. Neither would I be.
