    Is circumcision genital mutilation?

    Whether circumcision is beneficial or not is irrelevant. Cutting off a part of someone's body without their consent is unethical.

    Freedom of the internet, or the end of it.

    I don't think that's an accurate portrayal of piratebay's services. The piratebay can't be said to provide condoms and lube as it doesn't provide any user support for files downloaded. As for the cops thing... there's nothing to stop a copyright holder from perusing the website for materials...

    Freedom of the internet, or the end of it.

    I don't see how their being (in)famous is an issue. Are you saying that you wouldn't have a problem with them, if they were less well known? As far as I'm concerned, piratebay and other file sharing websites aren't responsible for how people make use of their websites' services. They provide...

    Freedom of the internet, or the end of it.

    What I'm saying is that the website, regardless of its name, is not criminal in and of itself. The website simply allows for easier file sharing between users. Nothing more and nothing less. It's the users who ultimately decide what files to share. The name is irrelevant. The users who are...

    Freedom of the internet, or the end of it.

    I'll agree that their name is rather poorly chosen; however, I think it's silly to pick on a torrent website because of its name regardless of how poorly chosen it may be. Aside from their name, what is the difference between Pirate Bay and all the other torrent websites? If there is an...

    Freedom of the internet, or the end of it.

    If you want to sift through the various torrents to find and shut down those that are distributing content illegally, then by all means, but peer to peer file sharing is not, in and of itself, a criminal enterprise, and there are legitimate uses for such file sharing activities.

    Mandatory intelligence test for voters?

    Having a mandatory intelligence test for voters opens up too much possibility for corruption and abuse.

    How long until someone says that quantum physics proves the existence of God?

    Do You Favor Supporting a PAC or Possibly a Party?

    I'd like to see a progressive evidence based political party; however, Homunclus pretty much hit the nail on the head. The goals and stances of this organization need to be more deeply defined.

    Worst Billboard I have seen......

    I find this kinda amusing, since the first murder, according to the bible, was committed precisely because God mattered to the murderer. And, as far as bad billboards go, I think this one might be worse.

    The "What game are you currently playing?" thread...

    Hmmm... good question. I'd say that Portal, Deus Ex, and Morrowind are pretty fantastic. Arcanum and Red Faction come close, but ultimately no cigar. I got it for PC. http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest doesn't seem to have Overlord 2 on it, so... The minimum specs...

    Sarkozy Calls For Burka Ban

    So if the burka should be banned because it's sexist and can cause medical problems, should we get rid of high heels too?

    I went to the store and bought it :D It plays better than the first Overlord, but it's a bit short.
