This sounds less like reanimated corpses craving brains and more like the drugs Simon gave to River so he could sneak her into the hospital on Ariel in Firefly.
Yes, listen to the anonymous coward and do some damn statistics! Should you help a helpless child, what is your actual statistical chance of being charged or convicted as a sex offender? I'm going to estimate it as REALLY FUCKING LOW.
You've probably got about the same chance of being given sex-offender status for helping a kid as you have of dying in an al-Qaida terrorist attack on US soil.
And, guess what, some people see homosexual relations as evil. When they dominate the society (God forbid), propaganda of gay normalcy really is homosexual propaganda to try to normalize deviancy.
Also, it's not that children are a non-people, but that they are as-yet INCOMPLETE people in that as children, their cognitive centers are not yet fully formed and they are literally UNABLE to make the best and most informed decisions.
Define some parameters for what you mean by "children" here, explain how any of this is true rather than merely ageist, and then explain how it comes from innate biology any more than women's desire to cook for their husbands.
In which case the solution is to trust kids as competent and remove the Kafkaesque nightmare-law rather than ban them from the internet to protect adults from the self-incrimination of talking to someone under 18.
Sharia law is not counter to human rights, Sharia law resulted in a 1,400 year long reign over the middle east which was described by Jewish historian Bernard Lewis as the only time man has achieved true social harmony.
Somehow I doubt Bernard Lewis ever actually had to live as a dhimmi under Sharia, so I'm going to take the various opinions I've heard from people who did over his. They say it basically amounted to Jim Crow with Muslims cast as the whites and Jews and Christians as the blacks.
Dude, I fucking wish the Grand Jewish Conspiracy had the resources and people for that. Instead, I had to endure Rachel hawking her horrible chocolate balls (they really taste like balls) at the market just so we could raise the money to murder one Muslim baby in Iraq in its mother's womb and bribe a few stupid American soldiers to ignore what we did. That's the last damn bake sale I ever help with!
And that is why we need netsukuku and other such projects to succeed: to forever remove the ability of any one person or entity to control millions of people's access to the network.
It's pretty sad that I can no longer feel sure whether you're sarcastically exclaiming our oppression or sincerely trumpeting our freedom -- especially since with the exit of the Bush Administration and their insanity we really do have more freedom as a randomly-selected liberal democracy than most people in most nations have.
The fact that half of our society got pissed off and demanded equal rights makes it plainly obvious that they don't work.
The repressions of early-20th-century America and Europe were not exactly "traditional" gender roles. People ought to stop mistaking "traditional" for "fundamentalist" or "repressive". Tradition does not merely enforce, it evolves, and usually real repression or fundamentalism comes from rejection of working, evolved tradition as not closely adhering enough to an ideal.
Has anyone noticed that the most "modern", "advance", "civilized", and "liberal" nations in the world have a decreasing fertility rate, while the barbarians continue to breed? Has anyone noticed the invasion of those "civilized" nations taking place all around us?
Don't be at all surprised if the Muslims and the Catholics inherit the world.
Just who do you think you're calling "barbarians"?
And, yes, you are in the minority for a "Southern Man". Ask your friends if they would prefer to meet a dumb drunk blond at the next bar. Actually, that's not just the South... I think it's world-wide.
It's not just the South, but I think it's successfully contained into America, praise God.
Other than the invading-countries thing, I think this kind of bull is why the world dislikes Americans.
Manipulating people into sleeping with you is a nasty, horrible thing to do and leaves you unable to form a genuine, trusting relationship. Preferring asshole guys gets you abused (or, on the edge of the probability curve, gets the blood sucked from your body by a vampire). Stop doing these things and then wondering where the nasty result came from.
Linux is Linux, it's based on the idea of software freedom.
No, apparently Linux is based on the idea of software freedom for Linux users only, on the idea of making itself the only player in the free-software gain. Otherwise the Linux kernel developers would realize that making a full arsenal of device drivers portable and available to the world of free operating-systems at large can do more to advance free software than bitchily trying to use negotiating leverage they don't even have to force device vendors to open-source their drivers. This is like a religious fanatic refusing to feed starving Africans because that would require handling pork.
Get this through your head: the ritual purity of your kernel image is less important than the success of free software and free operating systems as a whole!
So wait, why should Linux sacrifice its ideals so that other OSes take off ?
By failing to implement a standard driver model Linux hurts the broader free-software ecosystem for no greater cause than its own domination. In which case, we have to believe that Linux values world domination more than free software. In that case, why hasn't it implemented its own standard driver model to gain more market share?
The Linux kernel developers are behaving like schizophrenics, using both the ideals of free software and world domination alternately as excuses not to implement a standard for driver source-compatibility from version to version of the kernel. If they did so, including by inventing their own, it would strike a blow both for Linux market share and for the free-software ecosystem as a whole. There is no sacrifice of values or ideals here, just obstinacy on the part of the kernel developers.

Court pardon? What the hell would you need a court pardon for? Helping kids isn't a crime!

Welcome to moral relativism. Don't stay.
But if men had no power, we'd all get along but nothing would ever get done.
Strange, then, how many men have power in New Labour and the United States Congress.
Wrong. Idealistic women think that smart people should never have need of weapons. Smart people become weapons.
Equal doesn't mean the same.
And what barbarian wasteland do you live in?

So decency dies: from the fear for one's reputation.

that the smarter the man the more he values intelligence
Quite true in the case of wise smart men. Foolish smart men often just value what everyone else values. I hope you didn't want a foolish man.
Great, now I have an urge to sing the "Eizeh Hu Chacham?" song to myself at 2 in the morning when I should be asleep. Thanks Slashdot!

OK, by citing Stormfront you just lost all factual and moral credibility.
1- When it comes to computer science Iran is a world leader that is only rivaled by USA and England.
Given the existence of China, India, Japan, Israel, and Germany, I have an extremely hard time believing you.
For example the most successful immigrant minority in the USA is Iranians according to the CIA factbook
Link or it's a lie, given the Indian-American success stories.
