Some things I copy because I can not find legal copies in the format i want. Some things I copy because I have a copy somewhere in the house or attic, in a box or stuck in some envelope in the van. Some things I copy that I would never, ever buy, such as AutoCad with all the bells and whistles, or Photoshop with all the extra stuff. Did they lose a sale by me downloading their programs? Nope, because I would not have bought them. Also I do not use them for anything other than my personal enjoyment. When I was running my business, I drew plans up with a legit copy of TurboCad. I used GIMP to edit any photographs I needed to show customers conditions of their coils, equipment, etc. So if I am not making money off their work, nor distributing it except while downloading it(yeah, I leech) where is the harm? I am an Libertarian, so show me actual fiscal harm or stop saying all piracy is bad.
Aversion therapy was tried in the 70's and 80's. It resulted in pedophiles being arrested for re-offending with thick rubber bands around their wrists. That was the method, teach them to snap the rubber band when they had improper thoughts. I would like to put out the obvious since it has been overlooked. Have you ever considered changing your sexual orientation? Sounds fairly ludicrous does it not? But by "treating" pedophiles, that is what we are trying to do, and usually without the pedophile wanting to change. Yes and I do take the topic seriously. Until you participate in a cell search, and find homemade books containing pictures of prepubescent children that have been assembled from magazines ads, that are used for masturbation purposes, or hear some fuck talk about how he enjoyed fucking a three year old without an ounce of remorse, and see him getting physically aroused by the remembrance, then you really have not experienced what I am talking about. I threw almost 20 years of sobriety down the drain from the stress and nightmares from having to deal with those fucks.
Your idea flies in the face of logic. By saying that pedophilia is caused by being violated as a child, then what about the vast number of people who were violated as a child that do not become offenders? I worked within the NCDOC, first in substance abuse, then the powers that be thought it would be logical to transfer me to working with sex offenders, primarily pedophiles. From my work, and countless hours of being counseled by superiors(rad shrinks) about why it was counter-productive to suggest that offenders kill themselves if they were really serious about stopping their molestation of children, I was transferred back to the substance abuse field. They are not curable nor treatable except by restricting their access to victims. I do not advocate punishing people for their thoughts, but their actions. I personally think of homicide as a solution to many of life's daily annoyances, but refrain from acting upon those thoughts.
For those without a clue. Mysterious creatures just like your mom, except they don't love you, will not talk to you, won't save your dinner when the epic raid takes longer than expected, will never let you see there private parts(in this they are like your mom, I hope), nor will they ever do anything other than vomit in revulsion when you approach one. Also they don't live in your house like your mom does.
Lol, how about the successful treatment rate for drug dependency? Roughly 10% across the board, AA, NA, CogBehTherapy, Rt, and surprise, surprise,surprise, no treatment. Is it a case where there is actual success, or do 10% of the people with substance dependency just quit, and treatment methodology has no bearing on it?
there are these things called the intertubes. You can find skilled opponents on them. I have improved my scrabble game immensely playing against computer aided opponents who actually believe they can play 6 or 7 eight letter bingos in a game and no one will suspect they are using a computer program.
Because the bible tells them to force their morality upon you. Which is better than islam, which says force your morality upon you and kill you dead if you refuse. Lol, people need to become atheists and a lot of problems would end. I don't see two people arguing and trying to kill each other over whose non-belief is more pure or more accurate.
Almost every text book out there is influenced by liberal nanny government, anti-capitalism ideology also. My religion textbook has countless questions asking how could ______ (primitive,eastern,aboriginal,islam; everything but xianity)be applied to modern technological society in order to stop the relentless environmental damages and unfairness of the current system.
So quoting or referring to those texts is stupid and false. It is quite similar to me referring to the bible in an arguement about the existence of gawd."Look, right there in the bible it says gawd created the earth. See, gawd exists."
Damn, and I used all my mod points. You are sadly mistaken on your premise and the false conclusions you draw from it. Further more, you assume that hard-wired behavior is changeable. Pedophiles, who should be took out back and shot IMNSHO, are hard-wired to be attracted to children. They can not be re-wired. You may modify their behavior to an extent(BTW, my solution actually does modify their behavior) but you cannot alter their attraction to children. Also, your conclusions about addiction in general are totally contrary to what science has shown. By the logic of seeing negative consequences happen to others,and stopping behavior, is valid with non-addicts for the most part. With drug addicts, it is not. Have some junkie OD on a hot load, and the other junkies do not stop shooting dope. They actually try to find the source for the hot load so they can buy some, because it has to be good shit if such-and-such OD on it.
So in closing, STFU and L2think, instead of spouting off your preconceived ideas.
15 years in the NCDOC and I saw only three rapes. And all of them were the end result of a escalating series of various incidents(take the guy's stuff, take the guy's stuff the next week and smack him, take the guy's stuff the next week, smack him and beat him down, then same thing and then rape him.)Usually what is portrayed on TV concerning prison is usually wrong. Rape will happen, but it is not an everyday event, and the common sense approach of not allowing someone to take a small amount of advantage of you usually prevents a larger amount from being taken from you.
Hmm, really? How about the folks that are sitting in prison for extended amounts of time for having crack?While folks with 10 tines as much cocaine have already finished their sentences? The phrase cruel and usual does not usually(IANAL) reference sentence lengths, just treatment. If it did, there would be a more standard length of sentences for the same crimes throughout the US. For comparison purposes, look at the penalty for cheating in NV versus anywhere else in the US. You arguement fails on that level, as cheating in NV can garner a life sentence. But nowhere else in the US does it carry anything close to that long. I actually need to stop drinking vodka this early, because it makes me forget stuff.
Felons can vote, some even while incarcerated in the US. L2Google. I am drinking already before I head off to work, so do it yourself for verification.
Can't give those judges any leeway. The whole mandatory minimum thingee and the War of Drugs took care of the independence of the judicial branch of the US government, at least in the realm of sentencing. Most of time in federal courts the length of your sentence in more dependent on what the DOJ thinks it should be than what the judge thinks.
Sword of knowledge. too drunk to look it up, good book, about monastic order discovering science or keeping science alive. etc etc. got to stop drinking 8oz of vodka as soon as I get home from work on an empty stomach. think the steady 2oz an hour i drink at work is a better formula.
Even with almost a quart of vodka in me this morning, i find your comment both intelligent and correct. Wish i had some mod points to give you. As it stands, i salute your clear thinking and view.
False. I have never been conned out of money or property and never will be. It has to do with the level of trust you have. I have very, very little. And the only people I really trust all know that ugliness would ensue if they screwed me over.
What about the dude that ran an ad in one of the NY papers back in the 70's that said "Last chance, send $1.00 now" and got like 14K. Now that was clearly a way to separate the fools and their money, without doing anything illegal.

just reminding you what to say when a cop tries to talk to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc very interesting
http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2001/07/15/loc_anti-mask_laws_are.html check your facts at least a little. It is illegal to wear masks in many places in public in the USA.

Disagree, don't mod troll. Someone with points should fix this.
Sword of knowledge. too drunk to look it up, good book, about monastic order discovering science or keeping science alive. etc etc. got to stop drinking 8oz of vodka as soon as I get home from work on an empty stomach. think the steady 2oz an hour i drink at work is a better formula.
They should have it count down 10,000 years. Think of the chaos and concern that would cause the future folks.
the way I get to youtube(other than a link) is go to google,, hit other, then youtube.
lotteries come to mind
Even with almost a quart of vodka in me this morning, i find your comment both intelligent and correct. Wish i had some mod points to give you. As it stands, i salute your clear thinking and view.
