It's pretty ironic how the most disturbing posts are by the people who accuse Americans of being disturbing. Seriously, it's amazing how people keep bashing the police in this situation for being "excessive" and not using an "alternate solution", yet these alternate solutions always seem to...

Thank you for the info. I'll look into it more.

Rape/molestation in general is more about exerting dominance and power than actual sex. Penis or not, a person who has a desire to molest children is gonna do it. Then of course, there's no evidence I know of that links looking at fictional children and wanting to rape real children. EDIT...

It's actually very important to define "subsets" because the law is a blunt object, and can often get innocents caught in its web if not properly defined. Hurting another person is a crime that can get you thrown in jail, but at the same time you won't be punished if it's determined that the...

Yeah man I know. People actually supporting their argument with evidence!? How dare they. It's like they think they're living in a modern society or something.

Your concern is a perfectly valid one. The biggest fear of any kind of media showing a crime is the idea that it might lead people to doing the real thing. However, it's also a fear that so far hasn't been backed up with real evidence...

Instead of obsessing what I'm comparing X and Y to, you should instead look at the LOGIC behind the comparison. Your arguments are resting on the following two statements: 1. X is wrong because society dislikes it. 2. X is wrong because it is illegal. Both statements are things that I've...

So now you defend your poor logic with even worse logic. "Society says this is wrong, therefore it's wrong". Thankfully people didn't listen to you when they fought for minority rights when the majority opinion felt that minorities didn't deserve rights. And I also find it funny that you make...

That right there is pretty questionable logic. By your logic, I should be arrested, or at least put on suspicion, for violent assault and murder if I ever own a piece of action media because I'm "acting out" on my desire to see people beat/shoot each other up. Usually most people define the...

Most studies generally point to loli manga having little to no effect on a person actually raping or molesting another person. It's just like the controversy with violent videogames: reality is not fiction. Enjoying crime in media does not mean enjoying crime in real life...

And most of the examples you listed had some kind of justifiable reason as to why the law was passed. Laws are passed on advertisement because false advertisement can lead to human harm. Same goes to slander and so on. Child pornography is illegal because the production of it requires the abuse...

"It's just wrong" is the ultimate cop-out argument. Even things like murder have justifiable reasons as to why it's bad without having to rely on "just wrong". It's best that you leave the thread if you can't give a genuine argument. Remember, it's "freedom of speech", not "freedom of speech...

Sexual fetishes by their nature aren't something you want to discuss with your grandma at the dinner table. However, that doesn't make the person "vile" for having the fetish. It's only vile if the person shows a real desire to harm other people. There are plenty of men and women who have...

Even though I'm a big fan of Brawl, I happened to like Yahtzee's review of the game. It's not his best, but still entertaining to watch.
