Oh, come on. Slashdot has been in this degraded state for years. Coming here is just a hard habit to break, and the only way the current staff know to get people involved in conversation is to throw up this sort of BS for people to complain about. Unless the editors are completely lacking in technical knowledge-- clearly the strategy is stir up controversy like this. Hell, the only reason I clicked on the summary, was to be entertained by the snark pointing out the ridiculousness of the article.
their fueled passions and arousal may overcome their restraint to seek out your kids,
There is not much to support this. Many also argue that pornography give a alleviates the desire. Who knows, probably both depending the individual. Would the Columbine shooters come up with the fantasy that became reality without playing Doom (or whatever game it was) obsessively, probably not. Would many here go into a nerdrage and kill people at work because of extreme dissatisfaction with their mediocre jobs without the outlet gaming provides them, probably.
I'm not for passing laws because we did a sociology 'study' and 'calculated' the net benefit to be on one side.
Are child porn producers harming children? Yes. That should be illegal.
Does purchasing child porn directly support the production of more porn and harm more children? Yes. That should be illegal.
Does a creepy guy possessing images on his hard drive because he is likely a product of abuse himself, harm anyone else? No. Or at best, we don't know and suspect that it might lead to eventually harm children. It should not be illegal.
Reuters revealed that the Special Operations Division (SOD) of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration advises DEA agents to practice parallel construction when creating criminal cases against Americans that are actually based on NSA warrantless surveillance
at the current rate of warming will have to take place within the 1-200 year period we may still have left to resolve the most devastating consequences that will almost certainly cause human extinction.
If the worst case predictions happen the earth will not support more than a small fraction of the 7 Billion people, but certain human extinction? Tone it down a little. Life and certainly a number of humans will survive, the earth has been through much worse changes.
Also, this says nothing about seizures by federal level law enforcement. FBI, DEA, DHS can still seize all they want. and I wouldn't be surprised if all this means is that the same assets will be seized by local law enforcement without due process, the Feds just keep it all.
I'm not sure there are many licence plates on your ringed multiple mooned ice giant, so that would not make much sense. I would bet most cars (that are not located in a junkyard) made by the GM subsidiary GP mentioned do have one, though.
We need to learn how to leave this planet and live elsewhere if the only life that we know of is going to continue to survive in this cold dead universe.
If you can get an appeal. If the evidence against you wasn't fabricated or "overstated".
I can confidently say that there are crimes so horrible that the death penalty is appropriate for. The problem is you can't undo the punishment if the criminal justice system is found to have made a mistake. How do you objectively measure the level of perceived doubt of guilt between McVeigh and the innocent individuals who have likely been executed? Until we can prosecute with 100% certainty, I can't support executing a convicted criminal.
I think the problem with that part of history was the state involvement in the surveillance. Which is different than something like dashcams in Russia that provide evidence to defend yourself in court against widespread insurance fraud and police corruption. Or security camera footage that is used to publicly shame someone for being a horrible person-- in contrast to imprisonment and execution from information gained by threats of the same for being complicit if you are found not to report the information to the state.
The biggest difference between these types of surveillance is that, in the case of the state, it is a third party to the actions talking place. The most a person recording the footage is removed from the actions in a "surveillance society" is a role of eye witness.
I'm not sure I'm a against this "surveillance society" anyway. I'm sure there are a number of downsides to it, but the emotion their sensationalist tile is trying to tap is the hatred of the "surveillance state". A much different thing.

I ran the math and the early Earth, 6000 years ago, did not have 6.5 hours days. Nice try, Science.

If they liked the guy's work they wouldn't have fired him. It was probably only a contributing factor and a convenient reason to put on the HR form.
Uhh... I read it

Of course two senior DEA agents said your quote, so it must all be hogwash.

Well, there is quite a bit of history to read about. Mind giving me a starting point?
