Discuss draconian/flawed/just plain weird laws.

I'll start us off.

Kinda old news, but whatever.

All I have to say is what the fuck?

[Cthulhu]

Kids are retards these days.  Parents need to administer more beatings.

[inaluct]

How retarded.

inb4 we discuss the morality of child pornography and ThreeToe locks thread automatically

[ein]

I didn't post this to discuss the morality of cp.
I posted it to talk about how fucked up this case is.

17 years and being labeled as a child molester for taking pictures of herself?
Really... that's some fucked up logic.

[Rilder]

We need to go Spartan style on those lil' punks.

Just saying, he might see the words "child pornography" and just lock it out of principle, without reading the article.

I am locking this thread because I personally object to the content.  Child pornography is wrong.  There will be no discussion.  That is not what this forum is about.  There are three threads where people are talking about kiddie porn like it's no big deal.  This is sick, people.  Your joke is not funny.  What if it was your kid?  Or your brother's or sister's kid?  It's stupid that I even have to tell you this!

[Okenido]

He clearly never looked through the bloody thing.

If we keep the topic off of cp, it probably won't get locked.
Seriously.

She's 14, first. It's in the title.

What the hell, parents? Why aren't you looking after your kids? Yes, I know, they aren't under your thumb all the time, but these people lost this battle years before, when their kid was little.

Sigh.

I wish I could say that this was shocking, but all I could think was "Oh, there goes another screwed-up 14 year old sex-addict with no impulse control."

I know your counter-argument, but the fact that she consented means nothing. Kids are viciously dumb. It's up to parents, guardians, etc. to guide the kid towards healthy, responsible decisions, and it's society's duty to assist. In this case, all that's left to be done is damage control.

Sometimes kids are smart. Some are just plain stupid. Example is in that article. they really haveno case in defense. IT WAS HER. SHE POSTED THEM. HER FAULT.

[Chutney]

He clearly never looked through the bloody thing.

Considering the entire thread was people saying "Nah, Child porn isn't wrong", and he was directly stating the opposite, I do think he read through it. Probably incredulously at first, expecting the last half of the posts to be people telling them that child pornography is, in fact, disgusting and f*ed up, and upon finding they weren't, deciding to lock the thread because it was just entirely abhorrent.

I'd also like to say that she IS technically a sex offender, as she was distributing pornography containing a minor. It doesn't matter that it's herself, she's giving people access to child porn, which is illegal. If she had kept them all to herself, THEN it'd be unfair, but since she was freely distributing it...


edit:

If we keep the topic off of cp, it probably won't get locked.
Seriously.

Considering the topic IS cp...
I'd say as long as the discussion doesn't differ whether cp is okay or not it won't get locked

[Okenido]

The topic was mainly about cannibalism.

And heck most of the debate was about whether or not children were smart enough to make their decisions on the matter.

Actually, I don't remember a single person deviating from the opinion that it was okay if no one got hurt, but that someone would always get hurt, so it should be illegal. Pretty much everyone explicitly said that children could not consent to something like that, and so it was unacceptable.


WE WILL NOW MOVE AWAY FROM THE SUBJECT OF ARMOK'S TOPIC AND TALK ABOUT HOW DRACONIAN LAWS ARE

[Heron TSG]

DID YOU KNOW AMMUNITION COSTS ARE SKYROCKETING DUE TO A NEW TAX?

Sure Obama, don't take our guns, just make them worthless!

[ein]

I sure hope Obama keeps the restrictions limited to firearms.
I like my coilguns.
