Affirmative action is not reverse discrimination. Even libertarian philosophers like Nozick concede that Affirmative Action must be done to compensate individuals who are unjustly discriminated against with both a better chance in jobs as well as compensation for the benefits they would have accrued over time.

Moreover, minorities are often in poorly-funded schools that have difficulty educating their children. We still have de facto segregation; affirmative action reduces this and promotes integration.

No, it's not. There are two reasons why.

First, theft implies that the item and use of the item is lost to the original owner. I am simply making a copy in this case. They get to keep the original item.

Now, some may claim that by not purchasing, I am making them lose revenue. That is only true if I am downloading something that I would have purchased, which has never been the case for me. In addition, this argument is easily refuted by the second position below.

Second, and more importantly, when I download something, I am taking something that somebody has offered to me. If I purchase a DVD, for example, I can easily give it to a friend as a gift, and it now belongs to him. Filesharing is similar to this. If I download something, I am taking something that somebody who either purchased the document or obtained the document legally from someone else. That person is giving me access to something that he has. Even if this is lost revenue, it doesn't matter because so is giving the DVD to my friend, which is legal.

No, of course they don't. If they did, they would try to conquer and control each other. Americans know that Europe exists, that Mexico and African nations exist, (which is why they are racist), and that India exists (which is how they know to complain about outsourcing).

Americans are narcissistic, but they know that other nations exist. It is a prerequisite to their narcissism.
