First of all, if you read my essay on the blog (which is my blog), then you would understand that all property is fundamentally the same.

1. There is no "meaningful" debate about piracy any more than there is a "meaningful" debate about whether I should be allowed to murder you and your family.

The Japanese are far worse than I thought. Let's see how long they keep up with technology with this kind of savage mindset. They've already lost the lead in video games.

The most important thing to make clear here is that piracy is theft.

I didn't really say the Greeks thought Odysseus was morally perfect, but even then I think you could make the case if you characterize his setbacks as mistakes and errors in judgment rather than evasion of what he should have done.

First, what you said is meaningless. There is no difference between a normal guy doing something and a tough guy doing something, since what makes the tough guy tough is his doing the tough thing. It follows that the "normal" guy is tough, having done the same action.

No one but a cynic or a monster wants to play as an "average" character.

I seriously doubt females make up 50% of the market. Sounds like egalitarian propaganda to me. Even if they do, though, I don't know what could be done to appeal to them. I'm sure there are things that could be done, but people would just call those things sexist anyway, so as long as these businesses cave to those…

I was banned from io9 for starting a very long and involving argument that time travel is impossible, and I was destarred from Gizmodo for saying that I didn't want even one cent of my money going to starving primitives in some backward country like Pakistan (may have been a different country, but you get the point).…

In my experience that is not true. I was starred by having a comment of the week that expressed a fairly unorthodox opinion. Likewise, I've said some pretty radical things, and I've been banned from io9 and destarred on Gizmodo, both of which I never visit anymore. Kotaku (the editors at least), have been quite…

I meant after I could equip it. As far as ME2, armor is about as useless as everything else, which is to say, it is pretty useless. Sure, you need guns to defeat the enemy, but the base pistol would work just fine and the difficulty of that game was appallingly low even on the highest setting.

I'd say if their goal is to make a great competitive game, they should not give pre-order advantages, though exclusive maps and things like that are fine. Even exclusive weapons and ammo are fine, as long as they are kept in their own sphere and not mixed with normal players.

This is monstrous, but as long as people still think hacking is okay as long as these criminals only go after "big business," it won't stop.

If you are planning to celebrate Bloomsday, please respond to this comment so I may more easily ignore everything you say in the future.

As far as blacklisting people for reporting leaks or news a company wasn't ready to release, that is totally fine. Sony should have barred Kotaku from any of its events and reviews. It has every political and moral right to retaliate against people who break its planned news release schedule.

I'm really curious what pain and grief it has caused you. And does having it add no sexual pleasure? My brother is uncircumcised and has had no problems.

Okay for what?

1. I am not protective of "human rights" as the term has come to be used; I only defend individual rights.
