1) Read the link, and try to understand the social phenomenon it is describing. Obviously, since you are caught up in it, it won't be easy. Make an effort.
2) Do you think it's healthy that 40% of news stories are about paedophilia? (Obviously, I'm pulling a number out of my ass, but whatever it is, it's extremely high.)
3) Do you think it's healthy that such a large percentage of conversations is about paedophilia?

8) Since you're most likely a "moral atheist," three free exit questions: How would Jesus treat the mentally ill? How would the average "moral atheist" treat the mentally ill?

P.S. Long live the Police State. It's the only thing that can keep our children safe from the mentally ill. (Who are evil. Mentally ill people are evil, never forget that.) And long live Government regulation of the Internet. It's the only thing that can keep our children safe from the mentally ill. And long live complete/total surveillance of every citizen. It's the only thing that can keep our children safe from the mentally ill. Try to thing things through, retards.
And yeah, I'm replying to myself because it's a reply to all of you myopic, single-minded retards, not one of you in particular.
So, Leftists do everything possible to cajole corporations into being as soul-crushing as possible, and then complain that corporations are soul-crushing and work in contemporary America is boring. Brilliant.
"Well-regulated nuclear power"? "Government-invented green energy"? "Other giant public boondoggles"? How about coal -> gasoline (Fischer-Tropsch...)? Nah, too simple. And it doesn't involve the Government. And it would work. And it doesn't include any of our other sacred cows. And it was used by Nazis and the Apartheid regime, or some bullshit like that. That's a lot of accumulated ebil. Better come up with some sort of green energy invented by paraplegic Black Muslim Lesbians with Down Syndrome. Or let the Religion of Peace enrich itself even further. What could possibly go wrong? At least they are nice to homosexuals. Oh wait...
That Saudi Arabia is a hellhole where free speech is regulated sucks for Saudi Arabians. That Oceania is a hellhole where free speech is regulated sucks for Oceanians.
How exactly does the Right wing restrict speech in America?
But yeah, you're definitely a Leftist. You're obsessed with "keep[ing] tabs" on "them," "keep[ing] track" of "them," etc. and seem to primarily support "free speech" as a way of satisfying your totalitarian fantasies. Freedom? Free Speech? Values? Ideals? Forget about it. Totalitarianism. That's where it's at. Also, neo Nazis everywhere. EVERYWHERE!!!1. Fucking brilliant.
Not really. If you believe in cause and effect and are intelligent enough to understand what it means, then you understand that it is theoretically possible to create a society in which almost no people suffer from mental illness. (No, not by murdering mentally-ill people, you fucking retard.)
Yeah, "somehow." You might want to update your info on Turkey though. Things are changing, and not for the better. You're also overlooking a lot of necessary "upkeep" (it wasn't just in "Ataturk's time").
As for the sodomy - prison complex comment, it's pretty off-topic, but how mainstream (unconsensual) sodomy is and how much pleasure so many people derive from talking about it is disturbing. It's almost as if a very large percentage of the population is made up of repressed homosexuals. Maybe 1 in 10 really is bullshit.
Yes, Western Civilization is overflowing with "religious [CHRISTIAN!!!11] CONSERVATIVES wanting DEATH for what someone said." How do you do it, BasilBrush? How do you stay so smart?
Don't be retarded. Leftists and Islamists (believing Muslims) are equally intolerant, just of different things. It's the reason they're sucking each others' cocks at the moment. Same reason Swastika Germany was allied with Shintoist Japan a few years ago.
Also, the fact that the law says "if you say forbidden words, we'll beat you." Maybe that was also a good clue that we're talking about a direct attempt to repress.
Yes, the asshats who rule the UK or Germany are much more skilled at convincing you that their infringement of free speech is "for a good cause" (and teh children!!!1) than the asshats who rule Saudi.
Ah, what a delightful apology for limiting freedom of speech. The world needs more people like you. Yep, that's exactly what we need more of.
Also, you're very smart. You know how I know that? No, it's not your excellent spelling or even your exemplary grammar. It's the fact that you mention child porn. The true sign of an astute intellectual. The Internet also needs more posts about child pron. Get on it. Pronto. The Internet can't wait.
Just another sign of the Muslim world's complete intolerance, total lack of religious freedom, and complete lack of respect for human life and dignity.
And the fact that we can't talk about it freely and openly is just another sign of the Western world's complete intolerance, total lack of ideological freedom, and complete lack of respect for human existence and dignity. Tolerance, enjoy it. Or else.
You, personally, might not panic at the mere mention of the word "fire" (although the way in which it is said might actually do the trick). But you would probably panic at the fact that all the other people around you are panicking and shrieking and pushing, etc.
I do not believe it is likely that someone could instantly assume that someone screaming "fire" is telling the truth without evaluating whether what they said is true or not and then "instinctively" start to panic, stampede all over everyone, and do all of this without thinking.

Something written by stupid people. Probably wouldn't interest someone as brilliant as you.

I take it that this is sarcasm, although having long lost faith in humanity, I am no longer sure.
And then they mod you down if you dare point it out.
So, how about teaching people to learn using text and diagrams. Maybe that could be a useful skill to have...

That is the Old Testament you are quoting. Also, two different pieces of writing which emerged out of similar socioeconomic contexts might be similar.
That Saudi Arabia is a hellhole where free speech is regulated sucks for Saudi Arabians. That Oceania is a hellhole where free speech is regulated sucks for Oceanians.

we're always going to have psychos
Not really. If you believe in cause and effect and are intelligent enough to understand what it means, then you understand that it is theoretically possible to create a society in which almost no people suffer from mental illness. (No, not by murdering mentally-ill people, you fucking retard.)
Quite the contrary. The more you repress mild Christians, the more "radical nutjobs" you will have.
Yeah, "somehow." You might want to update your info on Turkey though. Things are changing, and not for the better. You're also overlooking a lot of necessary "upkeep" (it wasn't just in "Ataturk's time").

Try to avoid tangentially picking on mentally-troubled people in order to ingratiate yourself with Leftists. Leave Leftists' hobbies to Leftists.
Yes, Western Civilization is overflowing with "religious [CHRISTIAN!!!11] CONSERVATIVES wanting DEATH for what someone said." How do you do it, BasilBrush? How do you stay so smart?
It's a large bucket containing all the people Leftists would like to eliminate. Therefore, it is very meaningful.

He's just a confused right wing nut. He thinks it was lefties that wanted the death of people making cartoons depicting Allah.
To the psikhushka with him.
Yes, ScentCone, tell us vat you vere thinking. Don't vant to share? Ve have vays of ... convincing you to share.
He's probably a thought criminal. Sodomize him before he corrupts our innocent minds with his sick thoughts.
