    Now I've got it! A way to not sound like a pedophile!

    I would rather have some guy using computer generated images to... uh... "satisfy his urges"... than have the same guy use my sister to do the same.

    If the images are allowed to circulate, some (I admit not all) of them (and you all know who I speak of here.) will be satisfied with just the pics, and not attack kids.

    That's better. Now I sound normal.

    Well, Soul Forever Seeking, do not make the mistake of thinking pedophile is the same as child abducter or someone who rapes children. That would be the same as saying a heterosexual is a kidnapper or a rapist of women.

    Do you believe that most heterosexual have an urge to attack women? Is the reason for erotica to stop or limit these attacks? I don't think so.

    Don't sound normal! It can trap you. Keep using your own mind! :)

    Being that this is a private site(correct me if im wrong) Black Isle can not say a damned thing about what we say on here. Anyways, this did seem like it was turning personal and that's just silly, almost as silly ad the damn EU. I like the EU, I think it can be a positive thing, but it's bureaucracy is already too large, from my understanding of it. The ACLU kinda sucks. They have been for years trying to get some sx offender laws repealed, which is terrible because I believe sex offenders should be shot, no ifs, ands, or buts. Regardless, I think it would be interesting to see how the American public would respond if legislation came up to challenge chunks of the first amendment. It is also my understanding that to appeal an amendment, you need another amendment, and that requires a very large majority vote, and also subject to ratification from so many states and is also subject to be struck down by a referendum or some such thing by the people. The neat thing would be how the militant groups react. Revolution? There is actually a provision in the Constitution that allows for that if the populace should grow unhapy with the current government, either by peaceable means, or if those fail, by the same way America gained her independence. John Ashcroft, for example, is lovely for being anti-gun control for now, but he is in favor of a police state. So Bush needs to get that guy outta there. If you think about it, there already is a penalty for being a hater. Anymore, people dislike others who are blindly hating others, and are thus cast out, and that works to an extent.

    [​IMG] Well we do live in an age where 'equal rights' for 'ethnic minorities' means More Rights so why bother?

    example : white guy waits over a year on the housing list. White guy makes new application claiming to be asian. Gets house within a month. Fair?

    I missed this topic for so long I can hardly enter at this point.
    I am amazed by how much I can agree with Shralp. is that possible??
    Of course Laches speaks my mind in a way I could not possibly,

    So, why not at this point open a topic about child pornography?
    Talk about an issue full of emotion, maybe in this area jack and I could find common ground....
