Did you see thier video tape? They had alot of guns.

Not to mention, that it's not simply that they hid the guns. The parents had seen things many times, on one occasion the father found a homemade bomb. The parents were just stupid.

Yeah, but under that logic nobody would ever go to war because your better off trading with them. Just because they will be harmed in the process doesn't mean they wont do it. Besides, when it comes to Saudi Arabia and China, often the blackmailing involves us keeping the dictators in power, and dictators are often more content in staying in power than keeping thier country strong.

The kids were mentally ill, I figured that was obvious.

And if there was one thing that made them mentally ill, it would be obvious. But as far as I can see there isn't, so it had to be everything.

I wonder how different this would be if it was the leader of the NRA selling guns to Canadians.

Not to say the two are the same, but you canadians have no ground to bitch. If you can sell marijuana seeds, we can sell assault weapons.

I'm all for legalizing marijuana, and smoking marijuana illegally, but if we were to allow trade barriers to be disobeyed a pandoras box would be opened.

Murder is tied to morals just as closely as homosexuality is.
Almost everything is affected, or formed, from morals..as much as those self-righteous, morality-despising folks from the left hate it.

Your not listening, I'm not saying those things don't have to do with morals. I know they do. I'm saying they don't have to. You can make an argument for why they should be illegal without bringing up morals.

But you can't when it comes to something like this, the only real argument for this is that it is morally wrong.

How is that legislating morality? Thats just making laws to protect people from direct harm. It doesn't have to have any connection to morals.

You should, only by knowing where "morality" and "acceptability" meet. Theft, murder and rape are not acceptable, while imaginative artistic pornography for fetished individuals, is.

I disagree. In those cases you aren't legislating morality. Your legislating to protect people from harm. Nobody is harmed in underage hentai, therefor the only reason for such a law is to enforce morals on people.

Who are we to say what another person should think?

Also, you have to consider the effect on the viewer. Half of the reason child pornography is illegal is to keep people from developing sexual urges towards underage people. Hentai may not depict real life people, but the characters could be seen as underage and have the same effect as child pornography.

No scientific evidence exists to prove that pronography, or child pornography for that matter, makes one more inclined to molest children. Besides, if they are developing sexual urges towards children that easily, they would have developed them without porn too.

Yeah but you have to pay for maintainence and such.

It is a FACT that you have to add data in order to get the Hot Coffee mod.

If you were to hack the Sims so that it looked like they were having sex, all you would be doing is adding data.

The only difference is the amount of data.

So what, are we going to set an minumum amount of kb that has to be added to turn something into porn? No. Thats dumb, and every single congressman should know this.

Response to: Fictional Characters in porn Posted July 29th, 2005 in Politics

No they shouldn't.

The only reason child porn should be illegal is because there is a sexual assault involved in making the porn itself.

You can't legislate morality.

So of course they opted for the lesser option because it was the best one they had. Hitler still wouldn't have surrendered, and the Volkssturm and all that still would have been created.

I still don't get it. They were willing to surrender when given the options of a bad ending and a really bad ending, they would still have those if it was just the Americans, the bad ending being surrendering and the really bad being fighting to the death. Besides, Htler was dead then anyway.

Which was because the Americans were also fighting Imperial Japan, which still would have been a problem for them. A bigger one in fact, because the British would not be available in either theatre of war. The Germans would be able to mobilize more troops faster, and the Americans would not be able to create as much devastation with their air force, assuming they got air superiority at all without Britain and Russia fighting Germany.

No, we still only had a fraction of our forces on both fronts. The problem was our ranks were swelling faster then we could ship people out.
