    When is pirating ok? (discussion)

    It’s the wonky definition of theft that you are endorsing that’s leading to the weird logic here. I agree that the replacement example is an instance of theft. But for it to be theft as YOU define, it would require some loss or damage. If no loss or damage occurred and we still agree that it was...

    When is pirating ok? (discussion)

    So just to get this straight… you are willing to to broaden the definition of “loss” to include instances in which an object is taken and replaced with an identical object. You reason that due to some abstract sentimental attachment you had to the original-object, the replacement-object is not...

    When is pirating ok? (discussion)

    No I don't mean to say the two are equal, only to point out that an act of theft may occur without costing the victim anything or incurring any tangible loss. Which simply underlines the error of the definition you linked: "Piracy is not theft because it does not cause any direct damage or loss...

    When is pirating ok? (discussion)

    I'm glad you didn't waste your time on such a weak critique. Essentially you're just arguing semantics. I'm talking about video games as they are commonly considered -- objects designed for our enjoyment/entertainment. Now if you want to slip training programs and educational software under the...

    When is pirating ok? (discussion)

    The only time pirating (tantamount to theft) can conceivably be morally permissible, is in cases in which the theft is committed in order to preserve something of greater moral value; in turn doing more good than harm. Under this conception one could conclude that stealing a loaf of bread (an...

    Meet The Condom of the Future

    This seems like this would cost a fortune per condom. Monogamy and birth control pills >>>>>>>

    Xbox 360 owners are the best in the bedroom

    A pretty frivolous finding since they didn’t bother to establish a baseline to compare it to. My guess would be that majority of guys are pretty crummy in bed, though. I can't see stuff like Fifty Shades of Grey selling otherwise, a series which I believe owes its massive success to an audience...

    You chubby, overweight, or fat?

    Trust me there are a lot of women out there who love burly guys. Genetically women are still programed to seek out someone they can be confident can protect them. That comes down to your size and additionally, your attitude. Mind you, you don't have to be a macho-douche or anything. I find that...

    Religions of the Temp

    LaVey's Satanism strikes me as hedonism mixed with shock value. I will admit the underlying philosophy is no less sound than that of many religions. However, it can't be denied that Satanism has a counter-culture element to it. If the "Satan" of LaVeyan Satanism is purely symbolic, as LaVeyan...

    Why live when you can die?

    I see Poe's law is strong in this thread.

    Polyamory/Polygamy

    Hypothetically, each of the 5 employees could have 5 wives. That would be 25 wives that an employer would be obligated to insure, as oppose to merely the 5 wives (one per man) that they are currently obligated to insure. That would be a tremendous financial burden for a business and one which I...

    Polyamory/Polygamy

    There are some practical issues that polygamy poses. Like taxes and insurance. Do I care if someone marries 5 women? Not at all. Do I think that an employer should be forced to extend health insurance to an employee's 5 wives? No, that seems ridiculous.

    Why live when you can die?

    Physics and biology have had a good run, but ask yourself: what have they done for us lately? No hover cars, no time travel, no super powers caused by gamma-rays. Seriously science, wtf? It might be time to just start over. Science has failed to live up to the promised future that was depicted...

    Religions of the Temp

    Platonist. I don't believe in a God, per se. Instead I believe in the universal Good, which can be thought of as the organizing principle and motivating force of the universe.
