The great thing about the law is that it never changes as it becomes easier to enforce new, more oppressive rules.
Especially in the UK, no advantage was taken of the improvement in computing and communications to create all sorts of draconian surveillance laws which could not even have been dreamt about by, say, former East Germany.
Clearly I am a favoured acolyte. His words appeared to me in a vintage computing magazine and told me about 10,000 buried Icons of the Daughter of God.
It confirms that the lesson is certainly learnt at some higher (not fully aware) level of mental functioning, but it doesn't go the full way to testing subconscious learned response to stimulus. The moment your mother says EWWW to something while you're in the room as an infant, you'll have a little bit of that EWWW response in you to similar stimulus without realising why.
Did they test with people who haven't been culturally informed that fingernails on a chalkboard should sound annoying?
From chalk to communism, there are so many, "Why do people find blah disagreeable?" which seem to come down to, "Because that's what mother and the TV say."
Congratulations, you've just rephrased, "I know you are but what am I?" At least you've admitted to an arbitrary position - thank you for your honesty.
I earn stuff from you by hitting you over the head and taking it from you. It is earned by a combination of my superior strength and superior cunning.
Oh, what's that, you earned protection from me? Was this the same way I earned the right to a society the way I want it?
I.e. not at all, but with the majority and the powerful always bargaining in a never-ending pragmatic struggle, with no more rhyme or reason than any other tribe of primates.
The richest people I know are all fairly lazy but very clever, and have mostly had fairly well-off backgrounds.
The hardest working people I know earn little more than minimum wage. It's not that they're unwilling to put in effort or to improve themselves, it's that they have that deadly mix of being too nice or too stupid.
I don't give a hoot about your effort. You deserve nothing more than the comfort every peaceful man should be able to enjoy.
Statistics are the result of aggregating individual data points. If you can't give me ten data points in your favour, the implied assertion is incorrect.
WW2 was on the western front in the long term an industrial war between Britain and America, and America won.
The US remained neutral with tacit support toward the Nazis (in the usual US way - ever onward, IBM!), entered the war once Europe was sufficiently weakened, and used loan conditions and the Marshall plan to cripple Britain's already damaged industry. When the last repayment had been made by Thatcher (when was a bank last a charity?), she followed Reagan's bidding, inevitably finishing the job of destroying what was left of it.
Similarly, the Eurozone is Germany's fourth economic Reich. Following US practice, by encouaraging one sort of behaviour while acting far more sensibly herself, she has crippled the majority of the continent and made it dependent on her. Greece should do as Iceland: default and recover as an independent, responsible unit rather than enduring prolonged debt slavery. Remind the continent that things were moving along fine before the Euro experiment, when everyone didn't put all their eggs in the basket of a few well-to-do guys up north. But it won't because it's scared - like much of Europe has been scared for the past 70 years.

Is there a way to voluntarily register myself as a "sex offender"? Sometimes I have naughty thoughts and I've peed outside at least once... but more importantly I don't particularly want kids annoying me on 31 October and I figure if everyone's labelled a sex offender then the whole stupid list will become useless.
Rather than hiding behind the fact that they probably won't do that, why don't you put your money log where your mouth is and post a history of all your credit card purchases in response to this post? Include times and locations.

Are you suggesting that the government should stop people "being able to access" child porn? Be precise in your language and your argument.
as soon as the illegal activities run out.

Right?

Yeah, those arseholes, trying to live peacefully in their own way! How dare they not submit to the yoke of capital! Let's liberate them!

A sociopath can help it but just doesn't care.

That was their first mistake.
If you can't answer a question, set up a straw man, eh?

Yes, that's right, I want assertions to be backed up with evidence. Is this going to be a problem?

Modern technology is about dragging people along just quickly enough that they don't stop to look around and see how shit everything is.
I was just pointing out that it's harmful to rely on a crutch when you can stand on your own two feet. I'm sorry I made you feel insecure.
I've never run a spell check on anything I've written, ever.
I make spelling mistakes very occasionally but would rather that than delegate such a basic skill of language.
