Sounds like a plan, now how about you explain away the fact that Google, Samsung, LG, Dell, HTC, IBM, Motorola, and Nokia ALL do the exact same thing.

1 John 3:15: Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.
It's pretty hard to go to war with someone if you don't hate them.
I'm glad a lot of people out there don't stay true to the word of the Bible. I for one have probably at some point made a 'your mom' joke.
In Matthew 15:4 "God says, 'Honor your father and mother,' and 'Anyone who speaks disrespectfully of father or mother must be put to death.'".
Many might (and do) argue that the silence of the New Testament on the subject of war apparently rests on the assumption that the subject had been adequately treated and did not call for any addition or modification. You certainly cannot argue that the old testament takes great revelry in war and God directly orders numerous atrocities that nowadays would be considered the worst kind of war crimes.
Modern Christianity seems to be about picking and choosing which parts of the books support their own personal belief system or political agenda. You display this yourself by referencing only the New Testament. It's just that other people select different parts such as the gay haters or the pro-life terrorists.
atheism is a lack of belief.
Yes in the same way that bald cannot be described as a hair colour.
If a species has gone extinct in the wild should humans reintroduce them? I assume species go extinct because they are nonviable...who the heck are we to play God when the reintroduced species will most likely suffer and/or perish again.
They became nonviable because we destroyed their habitat. It seems strange that you consider undoing damage we have caused as somehow playing God, but not the actual acts of habitat destruction, extinction of species and land modification. What is it about Bible thumping that goes hand in hand with corporate cash flow without moral recompense?
Nonsense. Unless you count potentially buggy(buggier?) games with frequently painful install procedures, possible Trojans and viruses and often other game experience limitations.
Pirated games are only free if your time is worthless.
One more reason to not post stuff on Facebook.
If its pictures of you smiling into the camera while you cook meth then sure.... don't post them. But don't believe people will ever give a shit about your self taken gangsta' pose pictures. Seriously, stop living with fear and try just living.
That's a typical cut for a lawyer working on a contingency fee. Apple's not short on funds, so they pay lawyers on an hourly fee/retainer basis.

Perhaps, but people who get paid by the hour, win or lose can sometimes lack motivation. The lawyers will have a much greater incentive for winning if they get a cut of the 'winnings'.
The U.S. is becoming a nation where sick and poor people are simply obstacles towards expansion.
There I fixed it for you.
Damn, and you were doing so well there for a minute....But then you criticised the NHS (National Health Service, for non-Brits).
Gotta agree on that one. The USA is the laughing stock of the west in regards to healthcare. The fact that they can brainwash their citizens into aggressively defending their morally bankrupt health care system that has many people crushed with anxiety over the mere cost of visiting a doctor and leaves the USA with some of the lowest life expectancy in the western world.
