    That's pretty much it. Few motives in government are not ulterior, or at least leave room for nefarious behaviour later. It's a given.

    The IRS will get you no matter where you go, even if you're holding the wrong citizenship.

    Common sense would dictate that vanilla stick figures don't have the detail needed to accurately depict certain things. If you start adding more detail, they're not really stick figures anymore.

    You might draw two perpendicular stick figures and write "guy fucking a baby" underneath it. Then I'd argue that the title would be considered obscene and the drawing is irrelevant.

    Are you asking me, or the people who made the law that I'm describing?

    Child pornography is a subset of the term obscenity (at least, if you're a healthy individual it is).

    Although drawing a naked baby being raped by guys in rabbit suits might not involve any children who once or ever will exist, it's still obscene. Lots of laws exist to prevent that level of obscenity. There are lots of reasons why it's obscene. Let's not get into that debate though, there's Wikipedia if we need to look up basic definitions.

    Dear Sasayaki

    The IRS has it on good authority that you owe approximately $529,000 in unpaid child support for your children Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson. Our records show you are delinquent on every payment since the birth of each child. Your tax rebate has been rejected and you now owe us $528,500.

    Love
    The IRS

    It does seem like they need to focus the law to deal with the sexualisation of minors in artwork, but you do have to wonder about the motives of some of the people pushing to have this overturned. It doesn't really seem like it's a law targeting The Watchmen and South Park. It sounds more like a law targeting 4Chan.

    I think the point you should be focusing on is that you've chosen to push your message in the same way the GNAA does. Somehow I doubt you have anything of value to say.

    Rabid shit like this convinces me that he's a good, decent, worthy president. If the crazies hate him, he must be great.

    It's a luxury car with features targeting a certain class of car owner. Their lunch is far from being eaten given they're the only high performance electric car being produced on this scale. I think what you're really saying is that you wish you had one and you're pissed off that they're expensive. The main problem there is that the ideal Tesla owner has two of them. One to drive and one to charge at home.

    Tesla based its last vehicle on the Lotus Elise and even assembles them at the Lotus factory in England. I wouldn't be surprised if some exotic European car manufacturer were involved in this model as well.

    A lot of the keygens are marked as malware regardless of the actual presence of malware. People need to stop writing cute little custom text display apps and just use flash apps for keygens. Goodbye malicious false positives.
