I don't think that is the platform for that discussion. You can start a community for it if you want though. Call it "LinuxVsWindoz"

It sounds to me like you were posting pro Linux comments in a community called "Linux sucks".

Which lines were important? Can somebody show me?

I have heard in the US is illegal to bypass copy protection or encryption on DVDs which is required to digitize them.

No, not all. I actually haven't found red state people any more polarized than blue state people.

There is a vocal minority in both places who will hate you if you don't signal you are on the same side of the political spectrum and will stick to the party line, but a lot of them are just trying to live.

I think your generation probably has it harder than any in the US for the last 70 years. Don't beat yourself up. Life will do that for you.

Joining the military isn't the best option for everyone, but it is worth considering as it will solve all the problems you listed.

I can't say for sure. Nobody really can but there is a divide in some protestant faiths that someone "once saved is always saved.". Meaning that if you ever believed then you're good to go. I think this idea is rooted in John 10:28-29 ESV [28] I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. [29] My Father, who has given them to me,is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.

A lot of Christian faiths don't agree with that logic though.

I think largely though people believe Romans 2 only applies to people who have never heard.

It really is a good question. This situation is referenced to in Romans 2.

Romans 2:12-16 ESV [12] For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. [13] For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. [14] For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. [15] They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them [16] on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

So, the answer is still "I don't know if you are. I don't know if you're doing the right thing by your law or conscience."

As for "Why tell me?" The theory is still that it is better for your life to know and that God's law is better and more generous than man's law.

Being nice does not equal flirting
