  1. Re:be careful on US House Passes Bill To Penalize Websites For Sex Trafficking (trust.org) · · Score: 0

    That's funny, because prostitution is about the most empowering career a person can have without student loan debt. Get paid an impressive salary without a day of school? Sign me up! Ironic that feminazis would be against empowering women. I think it's a jealousy thing, older generation realizes no one would pay for them anymore so they force the younger generation to not be able to do it either. Of course schools don't want women doing that because they'd be unnecessary for nearly half the population. Church don't want it, less marriages. Govt don't want it either because govt makes more taxes on married couples.

    Are you saying it's morally ok to have sex with a 16 year old when your on holidays in Alabama but not ok when your on holidays in Colorado?

    Your appeal to authority makes no logical sense on this issue.

    Or Italy or most of Europe where it's 14. And what if they are legally 18 but still child sized? Like 4'8", 80 lbs? Isn't it just as bad as a pedophile?

    Having sex with anyone under the age of consent is wrong and illegal.

    Who decides what's "wrong"? What happens when the abritrary age chosen as "age of consent" is wrong? Because the age of concent in America, 18, is one of the highest in the world. Most of the world uses 14-16 as the age of consent. So who's right and who's wrong? Is the world wrong? Or is America wrong?

    Maybe if they just legalized prostitution nationwide we wouldn't have to worry about underage prostitution anymore because it could be regulated better? Ever notice whenever we ban something people still do it and seem to want it more? Not saying throw out all laws, but they tried to make alcohol illegal nearly 100 years ago and look how that turned out? Just saying if consenting adults want to have sex and get paid for it why does the govt have to get involved?

    Stop defending gawker. They were wrong and the courts agreed they were wrong. No one needed to "find weak points to exploit".

    Until someone copies it, or did he copy it from someone else?

  8. Instead of blaming NRA and JROTC why not ask the kid WHY? Because maybe whatever caused him to crack is effecting millions of other kids and a tiny percentage crack every year leading to school shootings.

  9. Does the NRA get a percentage of every AR15 sold? If not, why do they care how many AR15s are sold?

  10. But they didn't, because they purposely orchestrate these events for political gain.

    I agree. In fact, the NRA actually funded the rifle training of the shooter.

    https://www.vox.com/2018/2/16/...

    When you think about it, it makes sense. The only group that benefits from mass shootings is the NRA, the gun lobby and gun manufacturers.

    He was also in ROTC, govt funded, which means govt helped train him to kill. If you're going to go tinfoil hat might as well go all in and pin this shooting on the govt

  11. Do you really need your right to bare arms guaranteed?

    You act like banning guns would stop gun violence. We can't even stop millions of people and drugs from flowing over the border into our country, what makes you think we can stop guns from being brought over? I can get illegal drugs from Mexico easier than I can get prescription drugs from a doctor. If you ban guns tomorrow you'd still be able to buy guns the same way people buy drugs from drug dealers except there wouldn't be any background check done and there would be no waiting period.

  12. No he wasn't. And no they don't. Not since Bush decided to shift federal law enforcement resources away in favor of monitoring non-white terrorist groups.

    Maybe he was right, seems like a lot of non-white terrorists have been attacking us since Bush. San bernardino terrorists, Pulse nightclub terrorist, pressure cooker bombers, etc. And those are just the ones we didn't catch, who knows how many terrorists they stopped ahead of time. And before someone mentions vegas or school shootings I don't remember them being part of any larger groups but maybe more should be done when someone says online they want to shoot a school or threaten the president

  13. Ah yes turns out that wasn't true. Never mind then.

    Maybe we should put some blame on fake news? Media seems to be working overtime making up stories that aren't true to upset people. Maybe more should be done when media puts out fake stories because right now it seems like they makeup whatever they want without punishment not even being fired.

  19. They're doing stories about people losing money in bitcoin. That's true, many have lost money, so what's the problem?

    Sony did the same thing with ps tv, ps vita, and many tvs and blue ray players, discontinued access to the monthly paid subscription gaming service PlayStation Now. Problem is they sold one year subscription packages too, so anyone that paid a year in advance to access PlayStation Now with one of those devices couldn't use it anymore. Many of these tvs and blu ray players were still in stores being advertised as accessing PlayStation Now so imagine buyers surprise when they decided on the tv with PlayStation Now access because they could stream games for $10 a month only to discover the service was discontinued on their new tv.

  25. Aliens can't or won't visit us on Would You Fear Alien Life or Welcome It? (cnet.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Sorry but aliens were invented to convince dumb people to give smart scientists money. Let me explain. No life can exist without a sun, which is actually a star. The closest star to us is about 4 light years away. That means it takes light 4 years to travel that distance. Light travels extremely fast, 186,287 miles per second, and according to special relativity we can never go the speed of light because it requires infinite energy. So even if we could go a speed we can never go, it would take 4 years to get to the closest star. From there the distance goes up. Those stars you see in the sky are hundreds and thousands of light years away, which means at the fastest speed man has ever heard of, it would still take hundreds or thousands of years to reach. But imagine for a second there is some being that has the technology to travel that fast, why in the hell would they waste hundreds or thousands of years to visit us? Their technology compared to ours is like comparing humans to ants, there is nothing interesting about us at all compared to them. So aliens either don't exist or can't or won't visit us
