Do mods hold grudges?

At least one did, so ya.

Ok hang on a second, are you saying people who are concerned about the welfare of children are no different than Islamic terrorists?

They'll shoot up your power stations to protect the childrenz.

Switzerland is currently (2022) rated as the best country in the world to live in

Next question?

Name any non-hole where child pornography is not illegal.

That does not say that all pornography is illegal there.

I disagree with those who are trying to conflate porn generally with the topic of pedophilia. Porn is its own thing unless it’s child porn. My involvement in the topic of the availability of porn is the extent to which it might aid grooming. Not that in a binary sense the availability is either targeting kids or not targeting, but there is a grey area there where it aids grooming and benefits the porn industry. I suspect if we had access to internal conversations we might find there’s more targeting than you think.

I see it more pragmatically. The porn industry is a business. They want to make as much money as they can. They don't want to be fighting the government in court battles. Therefore they will tend to avoid doing anything that would get the .gov after them, like actually targeting children with their product.

Are they going to complain if some teenagers send some money their way? Hell no.

It doesn't look to me like the .gov would harass them either way.

Actually I hadn't thought about that, but yeah, it kinda is.

Is there a god?

Theistic religions: Yes.
Atheists: No.
Agnostics: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I would have gone with

Agnostics: Open to proof one way or the other

But I like the shruggie emoji.

True, but the government does control what kinds of pornography can be produced, who can produce it and who can consume it under penalty of law. That's about as close a you can get and all pornography is most definitely not legal, so it is far more restrictive than the USofA

But in the countries where it is totally haram, there is little or no recidivism

A 'shruggie' sounds like something you would probably get from a 'sex worker'

I assume you mean the Feds. I wouldn't say that of the states.

Trying to decide if that’s a service men would actually pay for. I’m not judging. To each his own.

recidivism refers to the tendency of a convicted criminal to re-offend

it's hard to re-offend with your head in a bucket at your body's feet

The introduction of pronouns as a part of the English language belongs in English class. That topic isn’t introduced before you even learn the alphabet.

That’s the only importance associated with proper pronoun use. Their part in language. The rest is clearly indoctrination. @LeftyGunner do you disagree? Or just don’t care? Because the culture war is a figment of Conservatives’ imagination?

 

[actaeon277]

I've come to the conclusion they don't actually know what a pronoun is.
They think it is a noun or adjective

What? C’mon, that’s hardly reflective of anything I actually wrote.

I posted in the other thread that I don’t want to litigate the culture wars here…never once have I suggested that the culture wars are imaginary.

Since you brought it up…you guys know these “controversial” kids books that keep popping up are all written specifically to troll right-wingers…right?

I’m seriously tempted to write one of my own…

”Steve’s two moms get an abortion”

…I can book myself on the right-wing outrage media circuit and retire!

Oh what a relief, all these left-winger wanting to indoctrinate our kids into sexual perversion and degeneracy are just trolling and don't really mean it; why didn't I ever think of that?

Really, man, are you being serious right now? You wanna take a look through this thread and see all the stuff teachers are actively pushing on school kids and tell us they're only doing it to troll the right? Even if true, how the heck would that make it any better?
