You are one sick fucker. You actually are telling me that clitoral stimulation by an adult on a young girl is OK as long as she and he both enjoy it. I'm beyond words here. Shit like that leads to bleeding, diseases, difficultly walking and sitting, stomach and digestive problems, extreme introvert...

I am not quite getting how you can say that its the teaching that this type of touching is wrong (the "indoctrination", as you call it) and not the touching itself All right. Imagine otherwise kindly and nice Closet Pedophile Uncle A. He realizes one, say a 8 year old Niece B, hadn't quit...

What about when the child realizes what was happening? What about the shame, fear, doubt, and mistrust that come at that point? The child may be ignorant of what is happening at the time, but they won't always remain that way. I was actually waiting for this mechanism, which is the only possible on...

How are homosexuality and masturbation similar to pedophilia at all? Pedophilia creates traumatized and fucked up kids. Masturbation, on the other hand, is perfectly normal. There's also nothing at all that points to homosexuality being a bad thing. All three happen to be things that a great propor...

Quite frankly, it should be just common sense that it is wrong because the sex organs are underdeveloped. Uh, how do those two link up? Don't hide behind "common sense". Common sense is based on experience and often historical prejudices. Even in the "mildest" of cases that migh...

It feeds sexual desires that a pedophile ought to be working hard to eliminate, or at least control. Just for the record, can't the same argument be made for something else, such as homosexuality or masturbation? And what if that guy's control vent just happens to be watching and thus fantasizing i...

Why isn't a desire for comfort a genuine reason for not wanting to have to wear a uniform? Because a uniform doesn't have to be uncomfortable. In theory yes. In practice, it is pretty hard to find a uniform that's as comfortable as a T-shirt. I don't understand it, but the more formal a piece of cl...

In 1945, Soviets "liberate" Czechslovakia from a evil dictator and give it to the People (turning it into a Communist government , which just happens to be what the Soviets were using). Around 1968, the Czechs do something they don't like - Soviets force a government change to bring it bac...

The best defense is a good offense - if you can discredit the victim by attacking, which is often also the Primary Witness for the Prosecutor, you are halfway towards winning. Firstly, that's a cliche and not a very accurate one. Read the post I made before this one, 6 posts above your last post. P...

I understand where Mike is coming from, believe me I do, part of the law school experience is actually to train you how to look at things differently in terms of morality and justice.

Quick ghetto edits

1)
If you think it is OK to randomly rip organs off dead bodies go ahead
Append: "but let's not use words implying volunteering when you are at it."

2) Append: The system does not work fine if there is a lack of supply.

Let's cut to the chase here, I see nothing in the Constitution that prevents the government from assessing ownership rights over the carcasses of people. Do we really need to go further in the legal argument? Even if you prove that human organs are property, the government can still take them away ...

It's not bodily sanctity after death genius. You are no longer a person after you die, and your body does not have rights once it is nothing more than a pile of decomposing parts. But you had a choice when you were human, and you chose not to give up anything. That power does not go away when you a...

So? The fact remains that your body parts have zero monetary value. Even if you qualify them as property (which is questionable given the restrictions surrounding remains) the Government does have the right to seize them. By that standard, the government has the right to throw you in jail for nebul...

If the money from the harvested organs went back to the executed person's family, maybe I may emphatise. But it's far more likely that the organs are being peddled by crooked officials. Why would it? At least as far as the Chinese are concerned, the man's being executed for being a criminal. Why sh...

If you shut down completely then the ameboa will pull your ship into itself in short order. Presumably any captain would consider this potentially bad, and avoid it if possible. More likely a captain would test the strength of the pull, and not go to full afterburners at the first tug. Depending ho...

2) An ISD's sun-like output is not normal, and represents maximum reactor output. At nearly any point in time the reactor would put out far, far less.

Of course, the Enterprise never got a chance to shoot it, thanks to the energy draining field, but the limits of the creature's rate of power absorption is unknown. It is extremely likely however, that the greater the energy density, the greater the rate of drain--which is why the Enterprise's powe...
