Man in Court Over Simpsons Porn

Ever get the urge to look at pornographic drawings of famous cartoon children? Neither do I, but 28-year-old Kurt James Milner did, and that's what got him registered as a sex offender. Police received a tip about the pornographic material and eventually found images featuring child characters from The Simpsons and The Powerpuff Girls on Milner's computer. Back in 2008, a Supreme Court judge in Australia ruled that cartoons in which child characters engage in sexual acts is child pornography. Milner said he downloaded the images to show them to his friend 'because he believed they were funny.' Guess it's not so funny now.

So, it took officers a year to mount the hard drive in another system, and take a look in the recycle bin.

When people print money out illegally, it slightly decreases the value of all money by artificially introducing more money into the system without actually introducing more value. ...
Honestly your comprehension of economics reminds me a lot of myself... when I was in 6th grade.

- your reading comprehension is still at the same 6th grade level though.

My point is that it does not matter who prints money, any printing always dilutes the value, the difference between you printing it or the government printing is a legal question, either destroys currency value.

When governments print money, the pretend that it is for a good cause, the truth is far from it, the cause is always the same: politicians want to stay in power, so they 'spread the wealth' in ways, that ensure they stay in power. They print money and devalue the currency of everyone, but they give the printed cash (or electronic cash in case of Bernanke) to preferred corporations/banks. This is the so called 'trickle down' economy from the Reagan's times. Of-course, nothing trickles down to anyone, it stays in the closed loop of people who are very close to the government/top of those corporations. More interestingly, these money, printed by the gov-t at this point are given away at 0% (in US at least, same happened in Japan just a while ago), and then this money is used to buy long term money from the governments, the treasury bills, that yield something like 3-4% for 10 year maturity bills at this point.

So the government gives free money to banks, who use this free money to buy more money at higher yields from the same government. What is ridiculous, is that the money is diluted, while the actual population is not benefiting a cent, the banks are not lending to private corporations/people at normal terms.

I am saying that the government (the federal reserve in the US in this case) has a policy of destroying money's value and the long term of this is total annihilation of the dollar. I am saying that instead of waiting for these fat-cats to do so, just do it yourself, at least you'll have a short term benefit from it and you will hurt their evil fucking scheme a bit. Yeah, I understand how this works, I understand that it does not matter who prints the money, you or the government, it destroys money's value because there is no production behind the printed shit.
