Be careful about photographing your kids!
"Alan Browne" "Alan wrote in message ... This thread is spinning out of control into deeply OT, so I'm leaving it. If the basic evil of k-p, real or synthetic is okay with you then that's your problem. It will never be okay with me. I suspect that Canadian courts would side against synth k-p, even though our courts are leaning over backwards to protect free speech. Alan. Well, it isn't the k-p with me, it's the censorship based on the presumption of guilt and the presumption that us poor, inferior, masses are too stupid to be able to read something disgusting without rushing out to try it out, and so we need some kind of elite, liberal, well educated (and therefore uncorruptible?) government to, "guide" us toward reading the, "right" stuff.........But you are right....way off topic.....Unless, of course, we are talking about censoring photographers, which, (I think) was how this whole thread got started....... |

that is a good anology. I agree.It is only a picture.
"gr" wrote in message ... "Jeremy" wrote "Kiddie porn", if it doesn't actually involve real incidents of rape, is nothing more than lewd photos. As such, it is quite unsurprising to see the moral majority step in and outlaw such victimless crimes. You must be some kind of pervert, to suggest that, short of RAPE, it is OK for children to be exploited in this way. Your trying to associate PARENTS with the radical far right, because we are opposed to anyone's children being USED just so creeps like you can get off, is typical of the agenda of most sexual miscreants. Are you a member of N.A.M.B.L.A., too ("The North American Man-Boy Love Association"), whose motto is "Sex before eight, or it's too late." Grow up and get yourself a real woman, you sick *******. Okay... obvious troll, however it brings up an interesting tangent. Let's say some twisted perv, named "Jeremy" for example, goes to a public beach and snaps a bunch of pictures of little Johnny swimming nude. Now, let's say Jeremy then enjoys "getting off" on the pictures in the privacy of his own home. Where's the harm? Where's the victim? Nobody is hurt by that action, any more than some pervert taking pictures of women at the beach and "getting off" on them at home. Yet, I'd be willing to bet that 90% of people would claim Jeremy should be jailed. Ridiculous! Go after people that do real harm. They're the ones that should be stopped. The State has no business being a moral guardian. Every time they do so, they end up screwing it up. |

Now THERE'S a attitude for all of us to aspire to. sigh. There you have it, folks, the ideal example of the 'me' generation. You bet your sweet patootie......The government is WAY too big, and WAY too expensive, and if you are the kind of person who just says, "Where's my pen, Hortence....I have to write a check to the city/state/federal government", without making sure that YOUR rights haven't been violated first, then YOU are the one who is responsible for it, and YOU will get everything YOU deserve down the road, when they usher YOU into your private padded cell.......On second thought, you will probably escape.....It's your grandchildren (and mine) who will eventually pay the piper, when you are safely tucked away in your coffin........But at least, I will have done what I could to slow the process down.....Tell me, Ron, have you ever found out just who sets the DMV rates on your vehicles every year? - Did you elect these individuals? If not, then who did? - Or, who appointed them? - And what guidelines did they follow when they decided that you have to pay $xxx.yy for that Buick you drive? And have you ever gone into a DMV office and watched one of their employees? - What did he/she do? I'll give you a hint. (I have watched them) They go to a girl friends desk and talk. Then they telephone another girl friend, and talk. Then they go to someone else's desk and talk. then they go to lunch. Then they go to another phone and phone another girl friend and talk. Then......You get the idea? - And they are all doing it on your money, and mine...... You MUST be in California! Grayout Davis got you, eh? No, but that's a good guess.....I lived and worked in California for 44 years......I started registering my vehicles up here in Oregon ($15 a year, even for Rolls Royces) back in 1980.....Between the state income tax, the sales taxes, and the property taxes (the DMV fees are just property taxes) I was paying about 50% of my income to Government.....I couldn't wait to leave California.....Then they wanted to force me to pay State income tax on my retirement funds even though I lived out of the state.....Constitution? What Constitution? - We don't need any stinking Constitution.....We're banditos! Yeah, I have to empathize with you. My damn property taxes have gone up 75% in the past 5 years. Those assholes in Austin have chosen to run off to OK and NM to avoid voting for limiting the max increase to 5% per year because of their selfishness that they might get their asses replaced with a new voter map.

Ron Hunter wrote: Alan Browne wrote: I've read claims of the likelyhood that 40% of kiddie-porn users eventually 'have to have the real thing'. Nope, it says 40% of those CHARGED also abuse children. VAST difference there. You are correct (literally), I was sloppy. So what? Anyone who commits the crime has the potential to be charged with it. Likely the same proportion for their other behaviours. http://www.abc.net.au/news/justin/we...oct2003-26.htm The 'virtual reality edition' of such kiddie-porn will not prevent that. So while allowing it might respect the free speech parts of various countries constitutions', it would remain morally reprehensible to allow it, and likely dangerous for children, whether the number is 40% or 4%. Are you saying that if they couldn't get the vicarious experience they wouldn't be likely to want the real thing? Somehow I am not as convinced of that as You are. Seems to me that if they can't get the experience via pictures, they will be MORE likely to go for the reality. That might indeed be true. A form of firebreak. However, in light of the correlation made by the police (above) it seems that it would not be effective enough. Tell me that is "irrelevant". If the constitution of any country places free speech of that nature above the well being of children, then there lies a constituion worth spitting on. A recent case in Canada involved a fellow (John Sharpe) who reduced his pedophile fanatasies to 'written stories' and while found guilty on possession of images, he was acquitted on the stories he wrote as the had 'artistic merit'. This is the kind of horse**** interpretation courts are forced to make in the defence of free speech. Other legitimate writers include scenes of child abuse in their stories as part of the character and plot development. This is valid to protect legitimate writers...but leaves wiggle room for the perverts. I see, you are in FAVOR of thought control. If one just THINKS about doing something wrong, slap him in prison. If you think about killing someone, hang you high! I don't think any of use would last long in that kind of a society. I don't see how you equate what I wrote above as advocacy for thought control. I do put the protection and well being of children above the free speech of child molesters. The fellow above was not found guilty of anything related to his writings, he was found guilty of posession of k-p. If THOUGHT = "Run software that generates k-p for the perverted masses" then I guess the answer is yes, ban it, make it illegal. http://www.cbc.ca/artsCanada/stories...ticmerit091003 |

I don't know what, "EZ Tag toll booths are", but if they are a legitimate way to pay for the roads, I wouldn't try to cheat them.....I only cheat the government out of the money that they have already cheated me out of.....I believe that everyone should pay their fair share of government expenses. If Bill Gates doesn't get any more fire and police, and Army protection from the government than I do, then he shouldn't have to pay any more for it than I do......Why is it that I can kill myself with candy bars (I am a diabetic) and not have to pay anything for it, but if you smoke cigarettes, you have to pay $3.00 a pack for them, when any tobacco farmer will tell you that they should only cost about 60 cents a pack, even if they have to be shipped all the way to Mazatlan, Mexico and sold there at retail? Why do you let your government screw other people? - Don't you ever stop to think that some day in the future, they may get around to screwing you? EZ Tags lanes are those you drive through and a transmiter in the car that you prepay and it automatically deducts from your account with each pass. For this reason, that particular lane has no crossbar and traffic flows without much slowdown. Violators will pass through these lanes even though they have not paid anything because they know they can. Therefore, security cameras were set up that record the offender's tag - they photograph each vehicle that passes through. Those that do not have an account are sent bills and threats of legal action by the state of Texas if not corrected. So, in response, a lot of violators started to put special covers over the tags. These covers appear to be nothing to the eye but the recording camera is "blinded" by the special materials used (polarizer?). So the pinheads in the State Legislature got one thing passed before fleeing to beautiful downtown Ardmore, OK this Spring: ANYTHING that covers ANY part of the tag is now ILLEGAL here. Immediately millions of Texas motorists were in violation of the law because most every dealership puts spme sort of advertising on the tag frame. Guess I got long winded above. Anyway, I KNOW that I'm being screwed by SOME form of government at ANY time. VOTE LIBERTARIAN! Alas, the candidates are generally pretty awful. The one from this state who ran for president in '92 was a perfect example... sigh __________________________________________________ _____________________________ Posted Via Uncensored-News.Com - Accounts Starting At $6.95 - http://www.uncensored-news.com The Worlds Uncensored News Source |

In article , "William Graham" wrote: There are a lot of people who collect automobile license plates.... Most interesting, what would happen if you actually got pulled over with the tags on? Usually, nothing.....The cop is so anxious to scribble out a ticket and get that other guy, that he doesn't bother to check anything.. No wonder California is screwed up! In Texas, when an officer pulls over an offender for a traffic violation the first thing is that he enters the tag on the computer before he gets out of the car. It comes back with VIN number, description of the vehicle, owner info and any prior offenses concerning this vehicle and/or owner. Then the officer is prepared as to how to deal with the situation before he leaves the unit to approach the violator. What a mess! Well, I have to admit that it's been a long time since I was pulled over, "live" with the wrong plates on my car. (motorcycle) Probably the computers are more sophisticated now, and every cop has one that's kept up-to-date daily.......At my stage of life, I never speed, so I only need the fake plates for parking, and I can change those with quick releases instead of screws in a few seconds..... |

And, both the front and the rear plate were available. But, in any case, I have many sets of these plates, most of which I paid less than $5.00 a set for, and I can put them on my car when I park, so the parking tickets that I get are worthless....When the city tries to collect on them, they do not have a valid address for me....The plates in their So, you defent the US Constitution, but you blatently flout the law. Amazing. Did it occur to you that somebody might forward your post to the city and to the state DMV? |
