  1. Re:Why sex is deemed not "pristine"? on Child Gets Nintendo 3DS Full of Porn For Christmas · · Score: 1

    Well the thing is that when a female is nursing young, she will not become fertile. Since most humans in the US don't breastfeed anymore, nor take care of their children (and instead send them to daycares or schools all day) it isn't really necessary to kill the babies/children they already have - they will be fertile already and additional children will take little to no additional effort.

    Actually, most animals DO naturally have a problem with murdering their own species (except when attacked) - and only their own species. Humans are no different - we murder other animals to eat by the thousands, and call people that have a problem with this crazy.

    You're right, but that doesn't contradict what I said. And anyway, there is still plenty of food that humans can naturally process without cooking it first. Although I suppose that if all the ovens in the world stopped working tomorrow, there would be some natural selection happening from people that can't process things that don't need to be cooked, and people too stupid to eat something that doesn't need to be cooked, but that has nothing to do with what I asked.

    How is humans drinking milk past infancy - not to mention cow's milk - in any way natural? This is not natural selection, it is a problem that humans created, that we knew for a long time would happen, but said "Who cares if it will cause problems for others later, as long as I can have what I want right now?"

    Natural selection would be if we didn't make so much food and then only the people that can survive on less food survived.

    That would be valid if eating these animals was necessary for humans to survive. It isn't. We could stop cramming so many animals together, eat less (or no) meat, and still survive.

    Yes, if I took such pictures, then the reason I would have taken them would be so that they could be looked at.

    What kind of idiot keeps those things in their car? Why would I care if you copied those things anyway? And yes I would actually like you to copy the pictures, as I did not know they existed, nor that I had a high paid job - I'd like some evidence to help me find where the money has gone.

    People HAVING laptops at colleges has only happened in what, the past 15 years?

    There's a very limited amount of things that can be put in the newspaper. Petty crime in colleges usually isn't deemed important enough to be put in there. My parents' generation spent a lot more time working at a job where it was not possible to read a newspaper at the same time than my generation. This means they heard about a lot less crime than I did.

  14. Re:The end on Zero Day Hole In Samsung Smart TVs Could Have TV Watching You · · Score: 1

    Just like they got rid of webcams built into computers when it was found those could be hacked. Oh, wait...

    TV is dying, being replaced by computers (I'm including phones that are basically small computers)/the internet as the main source of entertainment. People want streaming, interactiveness, to not have to buy separate devices to do things that can easily be done on one device. (Instead, they want to keep buying the new version of that one device.) Very few people of the main electronics buying ages want to JUST watch TV anymore. It would be stupid of them to not continue to evolve their TVs into computers - they'll die right along with the former concept of TV if they do.

    College crimes are often posted online. I've heard about crimes at colleges in OTHER states. That sort of journalism has been kicking around for some time, but everyone being able to sit around and watch/read it (instead of being busy working at a farm, in a factory, etc.) is relatively new.

    I hope my marriage will be for the rest of my life (well. my husband's life, as I'm likely for several reasons to outlive him), but I'm also realistic. If the only thing keeping me from cheating is lack of opportunity, well 1. the marriage is already weak, 2 I do not think it is fair to keep my husband in such a marriage. He deserves someone that loves him enough and wants to have sex with him so much that even when faced with temptation they will choose him. So if I were no longer such a person, I would let him go so he could find someone that was. I hope he gives me the same courtesy.

    So then explain the fact that crime has gone DOWN?
    People started locking their doors when they started watching the news and HEARING about more crimes. Of course no one stole your computer 50 years ago - they were too heavy for someone to run off with them quickly and you didn't take them with you to public places. People had cheaper things stolen and the whole state didn't hear about it.

    So wait, you were raped by your WIFE? If you have to be forced to have sex with your wife, why not get a divorce before you are "raped"?

    Because that is what was being talked about - rape within marriage. If that's not what you're talking about then you sound like a whiner and an attention whore who just has to add his irrelevant experience to every conversation with the word "rape" in it.
