...there is a difference between doing things that are morally wrong, like lying and gossiping, and outright breaking the law. I understand that even though we are all guilty of minor moral lapses, we should still judge, condemn and punish those who commit pernicious crimes such as rape, murder, and theft. The question is whether someone who committed plagiarism is worthy of moral condemnation, and if so, to what extent...
While the unmitigated glee some have shown towards Kaavya has clearly been unjust and unwarranted, it needs to be made clear that her behavior is not acceptable. But the role of passing judgment and of meting out punishment belongs to the authorities; in the case of rape, murder, or theft, it is not the community that passes judgment but rather, the courts of law.

...mundane job--unless you're in the midst of a genocide. In a new online video game at DarfurIsDying.com players take the role of Darfuris and must complete basic tasks. Those who fail to do so learn what fate could befall them at the hands of Janjaweed militias: rape, kidnapping, murder. Susana Ruiz, a University of Southern California student who helped design the game, which is backed by college channel mtvU, hopes it will inspire players to take real-world action by writing President Bush or lobbying schools to divest holdings in firms that operate in Sudan, as the University...
