Getting caught is part of being a career criminal.
The idea that there are evil criminal geniuses behind the scenes is just another conspiracy theory, dating back to Victorian/Edwardian times and fictional figures like Professor Moriarty or Fu Manchu.
It doesn't matter because "nude" is not porn. Porn is sometimes defined inexactly by that "you know it when you see it" trope, but usually it entails being created for prurient interest - and nude selfies don't count as porn.
So you live in a world where people take nude selfies purely as a mode of artistic expression?
On that basis, 99% of movies, books, music and games wouldn't be covered by copyright either, as they certainly don't promote the progress of science, and are neither useful nor art.
Also, based on some of the relationships I've seen, porn is the reason they still have a family. If not for porn as an outlet, they would have long ago ditched the wife (who let herself go) and kids for the fun and bubbly 20-something at work.
Masturbation existed before the widespread availability of porn. Purely on the basis of sexual relief, no one would ever have run off with a younger man/woman.
Hint: it's a bit more complicated than having the ability to blow your load easily.
Waste of a troll really, you'd be better off with "Did you know that every study ever has found that 80-90% of Linux users, paedophiles, etc were abused as children?" on slashdot.
The point is that freedom of speech and association are far, far more important than the ability to carry cool looking guns, in terms of actually getting anything done politically.
The US's privately held arsenal has so far been useless in preventing the creation of a semi-fascist state.
If I'm armed and the government (for whatever reason) decides I need to be removed, they will most likely succeed. I will, however, most likely succeed in causing casualties and/or making a big PR spectacle of being taken down. I might even achieve martyr status if I'm killed, causing a PR debacle for the government.
No, if a cop/soldier shoots and kills someone, it's much better PR for the government if that person is armed.
The best martyrs are unarmed and offer only passive resistance.
If you don't have an army prepared to fire on it's own people, then you haven't got a proper totalitarian state in the first place.
Anyway, are you seriously under the impression that no US cop, FBI agent, soldier or National Guardsman has ever killed a US citizen?
The government just needs to call them dangerous criminals or terrorists for them to become legitimate targets. And anyone who offered violentresistance to the government would be very easy to label as a terrorist, I would think.
The murder rate in the US is vastly higher than any other developed nation.
Actually, it isn't. If you exclude the top few cities
That makes absolutely no sense. It's like saying "India is almost as wealthy as the US, if you exclude all the hundreds of millions of poor people in India."
Loads of people want to check whether their friends and neighbours cars are legal.
Is this a cultural thing? Around here we definitely wouldn't be doing that to our "friends" and we would only do that to neighbors we actively hate to the point of almost being willing to frame them for crimes.
Can you explain this from a cultural perspective?
I can explain our cultural perspective: we generally dislike the government, so we would have to hate someone pretty badly in order to find it attractive to harm them by helping the government. Furthermore, this also seems offensive culturally because it represents meddling in others' affairs. Certainly not something one would do to a friend.
In general, Britain has an anti-sneak culture, so I doubt many people would literally report their neighbour. It's more likely to be general nosiness.
In any case, the police have been able to do a live check on tax/insurance for ages now, so they don't really need members of the public helping them out.
We've had online registration and health care services for years. I haven't had to fill out a medicare form or go into a medicare office... ever. Not once in my adult life. .
Living in the UK, I have never had to fill out a "medicare form" either. That's because we have a National Health Service.
A lot of obese people are obsessed with diets, food, exercising, and the rest. They buy books and apps, watch "inspirational" TV shows, sign up to expensive dance or gym classes, and so on.
They just don't (in general) have the ability to simply stick to a sensible lifestyle.

Yeah, the true heroes are the drug-addled muggers and teenagers hitting old ladies over the head with bricks.
That's pretty well written for a thirteen year old. B++

Weather or not you like a particular discrimination, is your viewpoint.
It's not like choosing a football team to support, you know.
represents the group who's unfairly burdened by the original requirement.
I would say that the group is fairly burdened by the requirement. Burdens arent unfair just because you dont want to be burdened.
Neither are burdens fair just because they're imposed by a religiously-based conservative majority.
I think self parody has always been legal.
You really are a complete and utter jazz mag..

The murder rate is the murder rate, regardless.
If a person has the time, money, skills, and tools to use a CNC mill to finish an AR lower, they probably are not in the violent crime lifestyle.
Translation: I am leisured, rich, and well educated, and therefore shouldn't be subject to the same laws as those real criminals.

Why cant the UK or US?

The anti-government extreme right wingers on slashdot have taken over the asylum.
Honestly acquired wealth
An idea that would be charming in its naivety coming from a child.
What the hell are you even talking about?
" (which is a key signature for life as we know it)"
Which you're assuming means the same as here!!??
Life as we know it would by definition be the same as here. That doesn't mean there aren't other, unfamiliar forms of life.
Aluminium is an anagram of iAluminum. I'm sure this is important.
The vast majority of people on slashdot are in effect upper-middle class white boys. Even if they're black working class lesbians.

I see conspiracy theorists as an example of believing in a very unlikely scenario to boost your ego.
I recently saw an article (here?) about a study that found that subscribing to conspiracy theories correlates strongly with a low self-image.
Well, I love a good conspiracy theory, but I also think I'm fucking wonderful, so that's your theory blown out the water.
