    Listen you, there is nothing *wrong* with sucking cock. *Cock* is good. A large part of my diet comes from *cock*, and quite frankly, sucking *cock* is easier than eating pussy, and the feedback is 100% better. So I say to all you cute guys, shave your pubes and get some *cock* action. In fact, sucking *cock* is quite tasty indeed, sperm is mostly albumen protein which is the same as egg whites. So, if you want to learn to eat cum, try egg whites with a little salt. The trick to sucking a good *cock* is to run your mouth around the base of the head. Drive a guy *crazy* that way, you will. Than, lick the underside of his shaft as you fool with his balls, oh my God. The real joy for a trouser snake monster is sucking up a cute teenage boy who has never had *cock* or pussy. Let me tell you, they moan and thrust like your first fuck every time.

    I know that Slashdotters don't want to hear this, but get use to SPAM. It will never go away. The more energy you exert to this the more energy you waste. SPAM is not new, it didn't start with email, or even snail mail. SPAM is as much a part of human nature as cheese burgers and farting. I get 200 or 300 SPAMs a week, do I care? Not really. It does not bother me because I have more important things to fret about.

    If the **IA is allowed to get away with this, then you must logically ban every other product on the planet that could possibly be misused, such as cars, guns, steak knives, VCR's, etc, etc, etc.

    The problem with this weak argument is that screwdrivers and VCRs are not specifically used for doing illegal things 95% of the time. Please save your breath about how you use P2P do download legitimate software and blaw, blaw, blaw. You know that's a load of shit. P2P is used to download copyrighted music and other media, and weak arguments thieves use will not convince any court of law.
