  1. Puritans! on Cocaine Vaccine In the Works · · Score: 1
    Who else can hear the sound of American puritans and busybodies cheering at the thought of yet another way to insure that their fear that someone, somewhere may be enjoying himself will find yet another repressive tool at their disposal?

    Undoubtely, they will never rest until a way is found to prevent orgasms from occuring (or at least being felt or being pleasant) or, better yet, a way of totally eradicating the pleasure center of the brain...

  2. Re:No air travel?! on US Government To Release Electronic Passport · · Score: 1

    Customs for me, (after a Caribbean cruise), was walking by a drug dog without slowing down
    Ditto (well, close enough).

    6 months after 9/11, I ride shotgun with a friend into the US. Total border stop time: 30 seconds, and this includes looking in the trunk to see the lone canadian beer six-pack I was bringing to a friend.
    They didn't even look at my face, even though my father looks like Saddam Hussein and I'm a (very distant) relative of Oussama Bin-Laden.

    The same circus went on exactly the same way a year later, at the same border crossing, except that the immigration agent looked at me and asked, laughing, if we were related: his name tag had the same last name as myself...

    One of the guys on our volunteer fire department is seriously racist. His opinions are not shared by myself, the city or the department. If he keeps his mouth shut we can tolerate diversity of opinion, even some the rest of us might find highly objectionable.
    Mock him. Laugh of him. Go out with black chicks and bring them to company picnics. Officially patronize black businesses. Do all you can to confront and offend his "beliefs".

    WTF? Are you implying that it's only religion that's branding sex offences bad? Including things like statutory rape, rape, public urination, etc?
    Hell, yes! It's only religion that says that you can only fuck your legally-married wife. It's only religion that says that you have to hide your peepee from strangers. And oddly enough, there are some religions that turn a blind-eye to rapists...

    As for the subtle implication that religion causes sex offenders, get a clue.
    Perhaps the one who is in need of a clue is you. It is only religion that makes sex something so "bad" that children should not see it.

    When he was released, he moved to my town. He is a religious man who confided into a local priest who had nothing better to do than walk from door to door and warn people about the dangerous paedophile who moved into town. A really nasty witch hunt started against him where even otherwise nice and educated people blindly joined in. Is this just?
    This is a clear case that warrants taking a baseball bat (or rather a cricket bat, since this is Australia) to the priest and explaining to him the meaning of Newton's laws by demonstrating it against his skull.

    The real solution is to give sexual predators the punishment they truly deserve in the first place, which is life in prison without possibility of parole.
    For pissing on the street in a place where there are no public loos and pub owners won't let nonpatrons use their bathrooms?

    Because that's what too many "sex offenders" are in for, thanks to stupid religious bigoted assholes such as yourself who cannot fathom that sex (as well as excretion) are just as natural as eating or breathing. Perhaps the Khmer Rouge were right in exterminating religious people...

When he realized what he wrote, he backspaced over "BOY" and typed "GIRL", then went on with his demonstration.
