Senators OK $1 Billion for Online Child Porn Fight

A bill that could allocate more than $1 billion over the next eight years to combat those who trade in child pornography has been unanimously approved by a Senate panel. "The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday voted to send an amended version of the Combating Child Exploitation Act, chiefly sponsored by Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.), to the full slate of politicians for a vote. [...] An amendment adopted Thursday also adds new sections to the original bill that would rewrite existing child pornography laws. One section is designed to make it clear that live Webcam broadcasts of child abuse are illegal, which the bill's authors argue is an "open question." Another change is aimed at closing another perceived loophole, prohibiting digital alteration of an innocent image of a child so that sexually explicit activity is instead depicted."

Their real objective

[RecycledElectrons]

The objective is clear: Fed.gov spams you with a single thumbnail that might be kiddie porn, and you disappear to Camp Gitmo.

We have 2 options:

(1) Learn to shoot, then kick in their doors at 3am

or

(2) Stay helpless, and have them kick in our doors at 3am.

Millitia practice Saturday.

Andy Out!

You need to go down some side streets in Bradenton Florida. You can get shot for being white.

Blacks are just as racist.

So are Latinos.

So are Italians.

Welcome to reality.

Yeah...ending cheap oil was a very good thing.....along with the resulting:

1) High food prices.
2) High price of going ANYWHERE but home. (Work, school, dentist, doctor, etc.)
3) Inability to keep mortgage payments due to the fact people spent the rest of their money on food and fuel.
4) People losing their homes because they defaulted due to the fact there was no money left, after paying for food and fuel, to pay the mortgage/rent.
5) Prohibitive costs of heating during the winter.
6) Higher electricity prices, due to the price of fuel going up.
7) Higher transportation costs, due to the price of fuel going up.
8) Higher cost of living, due to EVERYTHING going up, becuase the price of fuel went up.

So, yeah.....if you are an idiot, ending a century of cheap oil prices was a good thing.

I think that it's a combination of 2 and 5:
minorities tend to be poorer, and thus can't afford high quality legal counsel.

Point 2 probably partially leads to point 5. Discrimination tends to help keep oppressed people down. Oppressed people tend to be poorer and have fewer opportunities, and tend to be discriminated against for being poor, as well as being a minority. Well, first, not all poor people are minorities and not all minorities are poor. However, I have noticed that many of the people who are poor tend to blame others for their lot in life. These same people do not see a problem with "taking" things that don't belong to them because in their eyes, it WAS TAKEN FROM THEM, or at least they were prevented from getting it (The MAN is holding me down!)

Next, minorities have more opportunities than I do, as whitie. There is no scholarship fund that discriminates against black people, unless it is for some other minority, such as Hispanic. I have yet to see a college fund for white people, exclusively (United Cracker College Fund?). Unfortunately, people believing your point 2 is actually a major factor in the problem (see my first point)

Well, there was one scholarship writing competition for African Americans. A white guy won it, but they wouldn't give him the scholarship, even though he moved to the US from South Africa and was therefor a true African American (probably the only one in the competition)!
