It's not a thread, it's a post. Stupid cat.

Hi guys. I try not to write about the same thing too often so I was not planning to talk about sex, Israel or capitalism again for quite a while. But some things just need to be addressed.
In this post I will be writing about how current child pornography laws actually have NOTHING to do with protecting children, and are instead intended as a means to legislate away certain kinds of sexuality, both harmful, and harmless:

Read this article.

Summary: three girls, two 15 and one 14, who took nude photos of themselves and sent them to friends (something popular enough now to have its own name: ‘sexting’), have been charged with the distribution of child pornography. These are federal offences and if convicted they will face jail time and decades on a sex offender list where they can be identified by everyone as someone who traffics in kiddie porn.

I just know it's bad! Real bad! Like France.

This quote comes from Factcheck.org:
“Obama said the high cost of health care causes a bankruptcy in America every 30 seconds. That’s at least double the true figure.”

Now, I won’t say a word against Factcheck, as far as I can tell they are the only unbiased website on the Internet. It is the content of the quote itself that worries me. Because if Factcheck is right (and they always are) then that means that the cost of healthcare bankrupts someone every minute or so!

Shit, let’s be generous: let’s say every two minutes.

/me thinks about it.

Holy crap! That’s fucking horrible! This is a catastrophe! Rome is burning! :(

I dunno. I am kinda hungry...

That is the question, but before you answer it perhaps I should explain what I mean.
Picture for yourself a sandy country that I will not name. A hypothetical woman gets attacked by thugs and beaten with sticks. She is given care and support and her community vows to hunt the men down and make them pay.

Now, picture the same hypothetical woman getting jumped by thugs and, instead of being beaten she is raped. In this scenario instead of support she is looked down upon, publicly rejected, and then told that she needs to commit suicide, in order to get her “honour” back.

What the fuck?
