"Ken Tough" wrote in message ... RichA wrote: On Fri, 1 Apr 2005 09:42:00 +0200, Ken Tough That doesn't necessarily imply consciousness. The same works with people dreaming in REM sleep, though their eyelids are closed. I don't think 18th century medical research on consciousness is going to be all that reliable. I'll grant that brain activity won't stop instantly, but doubt it involves consciousness. Why? You don't need a spine to think. For all we know, the head could be alive and thinking for about 1-2 minutes. The massive shock applied to the central nervous system (by chopping the cord in half, as well as the instant drop in blood pressure to the "sensors" that make you unconscious would render you blacked out almost instantly. Surely. Wouldn't it be a kick if it talked? A heck of a trick. Maybe some american states could be convinced to return to the guillotine and we'll find out. I'd rather they bring it in here in the UK !! |

Ron Hunter wrote: The classic nude baby on the bearskin rug is DEFINITELY illegal here. sigh. I would hope so. That's absolutely disgusting. A bearskin rug, how gruesome. Fake fur, real baby. But the way current law is written, even a totally digital creation that resembled a baby would also be illegal... -- Ron Hunter |

There was a guy recently in Queensland (Aust) that was arrested for
photographing his own child at a park on a swing. The charges were dropped but how pathetic is that Alan Ron Hunter wrote: retoohs wrote: Owamanga wrote: An interesting discussion, may be of interest to anyone who ever photographs medium to large groups of 5 year-olds: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...4&fpart=1&vc=1 or he http://tinyurl.com/6tqes -- Owamanga! http://www.pbase.com/owamanga just don't photograph them or you'll be arrested in this era of pedophile mania Alan That is possible. State law here only requires that a picture be 'provocative' in order to be classified as child pornography. So what, exactly, IS provocative? What I consider 'cute' may be 'provocative' to someone else. The classic nude baby on the bearskin rug is DEFINITELY illegal here. sigh. |

I know that people are more paranoid than they should be (I've complained about this problem too), but these stories about illegalities, etc. are sounding more and more unbelievable, and so far...unsubstantiated. I am tending to think that many of the examples in this thread are the equivalent of "news vaporware." Any references? Thanks. |
