US Intensifies Fight Against Child Pornography
TechnoGuyRob writes "BBC News is reporting that the Bush administration has recently stepped up its measures against child pornography. From the article 'Sadly, the internet age has created a vicious cycle in which child pornography continually becomes more widespread, more graphic, more sadistic, using younger and younger children. [...] Mr. Gonzales also said that he is investigating ways to ensure that ISPs retain records of a user's web activities to track down offenders.'"
True dat... oh and BTW: in case you thought the bush admin. gave a crap about children, good old John Yoo should put this to rest: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article11 488.htm
"John Yoo publicly argued there is no law that could prevent the President from ordering the torture of a child of a suspect in custody - including by crushing that child's testicles."... So taking pictures of children's testicles... OH NO!!! Putting children's (ANYONES!!) testicles in pliers and applying force, Good to Go! *
* not to be taken to mean I think taking perverted pictures of kids is ok.
The Republicans don't need better excuses. The party consists mostly of a few easily manipulated groups:
Group #1) Religious zealots. This group is (obviously) uncritical and extremely trusting. Just tell them that you love their God and that you're doing his works, and they'll back you, never stopping to think that maybe, just maybe, you're full of shit.
Group #2) Tax-reduction zealots. This group doesn't give a shit about civil liberties or anything else, so long as they get their tax cuts.
Group #3) Unthinking "Patriots". Yet another uncritical, unthinking mass, that cares more about worshipping the president than the ideals of the country
Group #4) Business zealots. The people who want welfare for their businesses (but not for poor people), and will vote for whoever gives it to them.
Given this core, the Republican party can do any fucking thing they want, so long as none of the groups realizes that their needs aren't being served. This despite the fact that none of their needs are being served.
All they need to do is say "abortion, gay marraige, tax cut, 9/11" and they win, because Americans really are that fucking stupid.
Well that, and the Democrats haven't been able to find a reason for their existance, so they can't mobilize lots of extra voters, and get the majority voice of America heard. And third parties are a joke, because of the nature of our electoral system.
Fuck the GOP. Fuck the Democrats. America is fucked.
Whether it's Communists, Terrorists, or Child Pornographers, "burn the witch" is the government's favorite way to get the people to do what the government wants: beg and plead for new laws to curtail civil rights.
Will Somebody Think Of The Children who risk growing up a totalitarian United States?
Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
Obscenity isn't protected free speech, even by the ACLU's standards.
I'd really love a way to filter out most of the 'censorship' stories that appear on Slashdot. I find them ridiculous, like this article.
... where do I download this 'child' pornography? Can I purchase a subscription magazine at Wal-Mart? I'm hearing about it, but I'm just not seeing it.
For those who don't know. 4chan is a english image board. An image board is a website that allows users to anonymously post images. It is a trend from japan and the fast majority are indeed vile. Filled with images of under age trains and jail bait cars. Oh and mecha. (What trainspotters grow up into if they aren't cured with a cattle prod)
the /b/ board is Hentai/Alternative. Hentai is japanese for perverted. However most of the content is what you get when you let 14yr old boys post anonymously. It ain't pretty.
The idea of a /b/ visitor complaining about anyone else is laughable.
If you know about /b/ then you are at the bottom of the ladder. Lookup and you will in fact see child rapists crap on you.
To be serious the parent reminds me a bit off criminals offended by other criminals. Rapist saying they despise child rapists. WTF?
This guy vists /b/ a channel filled with the worst of the net and then complains about japan. Right. Take a look at yourselve first kiddo.
MMO Quests are like orgasms:
You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
Try telling that to George W. and see how fast you get thrown in Gitmo.
molested AND killed, nor OR killed. read up on your boolean logic plz.
The OP claims "molested AND killed" is rare.
I claim "molested AND NOT killed" is common.
You bring up "molested OR killed," which is simply nonsensical.

Dum de dum.
Freedom is not the license to do what we like, it is the power to do what we ought.
Note, also, that being killed by a baseball should really qualify as being killed by a stranger. Your metrics are all screwed up.
As a state gets corrupt, its laws multiply; the most corrupt states have the most numerous laws. (Tacitus, Annales 3:27)
... must be wearing off. Hmmm.... by what other reason can we justify our powergrab...
actually if i'd go down with 99 perverts, i wouldn't blink an eye.
I'd tell you the chances of this story being a dupe, but you wouldn't like it.
Please don't send Bush here: we're already overflowing with fucktard politicians like John Howard, Peter Costello and Kim Beazley. The trends in our government suggest we're heading towards structures similar to the US's broken "feed the rich, fuck the poor" systems. Please don't expedite this process. Thanks.
Cheers
