  1. Re:I won't move to VOIP. on Telecoms Suing Municipalities That Plan Broadband Access · · Score: 1

    16.95 is a bargain. After all the fees and with no long distance, I would still be paying twice that in Maine. Its going to get even worse now that Fairpoint bought all of Verizon's lines in Maine, NH, and VT.

    That gives me an idea. We should set up a way to pull power off those lines and use it for something more useful. It should charge my phone for me maybe. OR! I could hook it up to a battery, and leech power off it. At least this way you could get your money's worth!!! YAY!

    "I'd like to build a large distribution center and hire (n*1000) employees for it in your state... we'll pay all the other taxes, but please don't charge us for sales tax."

    That and you get to tax all the income we pay our n*1000 employees.

    I consider states that charge income AND sales tax to be double dippers.

  21. Re:Should be criminal anyway on Graphics Advances Make Identifying Real Images Difficult · · Score: 1

    Would you say that viewing "normal" pron is progressive?

    By progressive, I mean, you start with the JC Penney Catalog, Then Victoria's Sectret, then Playboy, then hustler, then Japanese pron, etc.

    Basically, as you continually expose yourself to such material, it subsequently takes more and more to turn you on, and soon, you find yourself trying to act the things you have seen with real-life people.

    The only reason this isn't often addressed, is because with consenting adults, its not against the law (not playing the morality card).

    When I look at it this way, its seems like anyone interested in kiddie pron, instead of "normal" pron, MIGHT, take the same course, upping the ante until they commit a crime against a child.

  22. Re:Should be criminal anyway on Graphics Advances Make Identifying Real Images Difficult · · Score: 1

    Alright, before I go headlong into a flame war I want to make sure I'm clear on what we are arguing.

    I'm saying that there is a possibility that by looking at child pron, a person can come to be enticed by it, and want to purvey his want on other kids.

    And you are saying there is no link, that you should be able to look at kidie pron all day, and not be effected by it, and not have the desire to do them yourself.

    Please clarify if I have this all wrong. I'm not here to argue but more to get more than one point of view.

    If stuff you see and hear doesn't effect your actions, they why do companies spend BILLIONS upon BILLIONS of dollars on advertising, some of which is less compelling than an episode of "Two and a half Men"?

  24. Re:Electric universe on Eric Lerner's Focus Fusion Device Gets Funded · · Score: 1

    People that use God to explain away things they can't explain, are using him as a crutch. Viewing things that way certainly hinders scientific method, and impedes exploration.

    However, there is a difference between using him to explain things, and giving him credit for creating it. That shouldn't stop anyone from finding out how it works, and how he did it.
