I just KNOW that my answer will brand me as a Nazi - but, yes, I am in favor of eugenics.
Go ahead, blast away. Enjoy yourself. Before you start, I am not a white supremacist, not German, not Aryan, have no affiliation with any supremacy groups, and in fact, the white supremacists would take one look at my family tree, and march me and my kids to the ovens. But, have fun anyway.
If not for Hitler and the monsters who made up his inner party, I could safely ask anyone in the world if it would be a desirable goal to improve the human race, and almost certainly get an affirmative answer. From there, we could have discussion, debate, and argument over what would constitute "improvement".
Thanks to Hitler, anyone who thinks that eugenics might be a good thing is automatically branded, right?
We take better care of our breeding livestock, than we take care of ourselves.
Assymetric warfare. The Chinese have little intention of attacking us openly, physically. Their conventional warfare forces are being developed more to deter us from attacking for revenge, than to be used against us.

There is so little good information on it - but it's real.
Actually, most sane people already suspected that the global warming scam might be a hoax, and the brighter people were sure of it. Those CLU papers just add a little bit of credibility to the suspicions.
And, there is no true "neutral ground" in the global warming debate. "You're either with us, or you're fruit loops", is what we hear from the "consensus".
I recently changed my sig on another forum - I might use the same one here: Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. - Michael Crichton
Actually, I am American, and I love America - enough to have served her armed forces for 8 years, and to raise both a soldier and a sailor. But, I agree with AC. WTF is it with torture? Torture was almost universally condemned throughout the western world, until Herr Shrub came along. FFS, any competent intelligence officer will tell you right out, he can get better results by buddying up to a suspect, rather than torturing him. Offer the guy a cigarette, a beer, ask about his wife and kids, tell him how beautiful his wife and daughters are (even if they are Sumo heavy weights whose faces have been used for dart boards) - sugar catches more flies than vinegar ever did.
The real irony here is, that you even NEED a 3rd party application to make your machine secure. The bit of irony on the tail end is just for amusement - the security software kills your machine, LMAO
Uhhhmmm - it isn't just computers. If I notice an odd smell when I walk through the plant, I investigate. Our plant makes plastic products, and 2/3 of the time, the odd smell is just overheated plastic. But, the other 1/3 finds a problem of one sort, or another. Overheating oils are bad news, overheating capacitors are more bad news - actually, ANYTHING hot enough to give off an odor is bad news. Three weeks ago, we had a machine that was kicking our asses - the mold wouldn't open either manually, or in automatic. 4 of us went over that machine from one end to the other, multiple times. Ohmeters and voltmeters said that everything was just fine, believe it or not. Finally, I caught a whiff of something funky, opened up a solenoid from which the odor seemed to be coming, and found that half of the windings were burnt and shorting.
The sense of smell is a valuable tool in troubleshooting and maintenance, unless you ignore it.
Sorry - if a guy sees little children, prepubescents, as sex objects, I don't see him as "human". He is something less than a man. And, his genes are undesirable. I don't care how the child porn is presented, whether as anime, text, or disguised as involving Martians - it's the focus of his sexual desire that makes him less than a man.
I know - you're going to ask how I prove the focus of his desire. I don't exactly know - but if his hard drive is chock full of pics and videos of naked children, it's a pretty good indicator.
The guy in your link? What a moron. Whether it be CP or anything else, if you copy it to a demo machine which other people might use, it's SHARED!! Even on Linux, which is considered to be more "secure" than Windows, once I gain root access, I can view any files on the machine, no matter how "private" they thought their files were.
In it's own perverse way, the law does distinguish between genuine pedos, and people who prey on underage but sexually mature women. Most states distinguish between having sex with a child younger than "x", or an older teen. Some states also take into consideration the age difference between the "predator" and the "victim". I mean, if a 17 year old minor seduces and 18 year old adult, that is HARDLY reason to convict the 18 year old.
You will note that the sentence you quoted specifically says "little children", as opposed to "teens", or "minors". "Little children" isn't a legal term, but I thought it would be obvious that I was talking of pre-pubescents, most all of whom are younger than 13.
Of course watching two sixteen year olds doesn't warrant harsh punishment. At most, a token 50 dollar fine for a first offense. Hell, I can't even tell if two kids are 16 or 18 much of the time, unless someone tells me.
But, if you've read all my posts on this story, you would already understand that. The harsh punishments are reserved for the lowlifes who look upon little children as sex objects. If looking at a six year old's bare bottom excites a guy, I see him as subhuman, and undeserving of the breath he pollutes.
Again, I say, go browse the dark web, and get educated.
Disclaimer: after a single day of research, you can never go back to your current state of innocence. There IS a lot of just plain sick shit to be seen, if you have the stomach for it. If you've ever researched the holocaust, then you have an idea what I mean.
Allow me to point out that rapists have been executed in the past, in various jurisdictions. You know, "normal" male rapists, who raped adult females, presumably because they couldn't get any nookie, and/or because they got off on the power trip from having a woman under their control.
I view that as a pretty good thing. If the sumbitch can't attract women, then his genes should be taken out of the pool, permanently. If the power trip gets him off, remove his genes, as well.
Applied to child porn - if the sumbitch likes little children instead of women, remove his genes from the gene pool.
Think about it - it there really IS anything to the idea of evolution, which genes do we wish to select for?
I have little problem with executing a lot of deviants.
I stated quite bluntly in the multiple posts I've made in this thread: The CP was there, in front of me, and I looked to see what people were up in arms about. Try to keep up, huh? An educated voter is a desirable thing, no?
Hey, if the damned exploit won't run on Linux, then it's not a real exploit, is it? This kind of thing kinda pisses me off. There are all KINDS of neat software out there, that just won't run on Linux. It's definitley not fair. I think it might even be illegal. In today's modern world, no one is supposed to be excluded from anything. Not even nerds!!
But, you offer no citations. Do you have numbers to back that up? It is my belief that the vast majority of abducted children are brutalized for the predator's own pleasure, rather than for CP. No, I have no citations, hence, my statement that "it is my belief".
"secure a conviction for one of the most heinous and despicable offences."
I might argue that CP is what you say it is - but I won't bother.
I will point out, that plenty of people have been busted for CP, when pornography was the furthest thing from their minds. Time was, when a naked infant, toddler, or even young child in a photograph raised no eyebrows anywhere. Grandma sent many a photo off to be developed in the '50's and 60's. Somewhere in my young adulthood - late '70's, we'll call it - I started reading about grandmothers being busted for those photos.
So - I claim that your depiction of child porn is part of the over reaction that threatens the most innocent of people. Mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and cousins who just LOVE to compare little details, like the dimples on the cheeks of Baby Rose's ass, to those of her Aunt Betty.
I can't claim that the defendant in this case was entirely innocent, but you can't claim that he was guilty, either - because we just don't KNOW!! A few images do not a child molester make.
"stop wasting resources hunting pervs that look at the stuff and spend time hunting the predators that actually produce the stuff."
I fully agree. I mean, even if the perv has thousands of images and hundreds of videos, he's not actually touched one single child while collecting them.
In my post above, I mentioned the dark net. The predators are proud of their "work". You get full facial views of the predators enjoying their sport. How hard can it be for the police forces to combine their intelligence, and match the face to somoene? Often enough, tatoos and other marks make the job easier.
Actually, CP isn't that hard to just "stumble over". You've heard of the dark net, I presume. Go, install I2P, or some other dark net application. Browse around a bit. You'll be surprised to find that A: there is some interesting shitzls on the dark net, and B: about half the content on the dark net is CP. You don't have to look at CP - all you need do is browse around, looking for the rare gem of a political perspective, or some of the activist stuff, and you WILL stumble over CP. It's right there in front of you.
While I don't actually *advise* that you browse through the CP - for educational purposes, there is nothing like seeing what has everyone in an uproar. It ranges from distasteful, to disgusting - not all of it is equal. Except, of course, in the eyes of the law. A video of two sixteen year olds is as likely to land you in prison, as a video of "Daddy doing his 11 year old daughter".
As for Canada's ruling - I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. Caching is not pessession - but, if the guy was viewing CP and getting off on it, he's guilty, IMHO. Deviant bastid needs to be cut, then tied down over a fire ant hill. I just don't know what to think.
I don't think the US Supreme court would have ruled in his favor - he's lucky to be in Canada!!
Yes - but this idiot using a power tool found an imperfect solution. He should have been feeding his wood into the saw with his penis, thereby removing his genes from the pool. Darwin would approve, I think.
Thanks for the link. Good write up, and it makes sense. And, here I was, trying to make sense of an apparent language/alphabet link, not even guessing at the political perspective.;^)
Can you IMAGINE the arrogance of those people? That Chinese site is in Chinese!! Wait - wut did I just say?
Alright, seriously - if I can switch languages, I don't know how, so it's useless to me. Is there a character on their page that says, "Click here for English, you foreign devil dog" ????
As already pointed out by sibling post - doing business in China is not "trade".
Addressing globalization - that's not really "trade" either. Corporate America is sacking the United States, and Corporate Europe is raping Europe, moving manufacturing and other business to third world countries, where they can make goods more cheaply.
Americans are getting nothing in "trade". Especially in the case of China, which regularly uncovers a new scandal involving deadly products being sold around the world.
Let's sit and talk about this "globalization" thing. Here, I'll pour some coffee. Care for some melanin in your coffee? Or, I have powdered melanin, if you prefer. Fresh off the boat from China!
This makes me happy. Not that it's Google, specifically, but I'm happy to see any company pull out of China. Wake up, world. Globalization is not the way forward. Wait until Google is actually gone. See what happens to anything and everything that is either left behind, or has already been pilfered, copied, cracked, or whatever. China respects no "intellectual" property, whatsoever. All the property of Google in China is actually the property of China - intellectual, or otherwise.
