Somehow Reddit and Facebook have never captured my interest and I never visited those sites (I believe I even have facebook banned in my hosts file so no one using my computer can connect to it). Edit: Indeed, facebook.com is returned as 127.0.0.1 That doesn't make you cool, it makes you ignorant. This is akin to closing your eyes, covering your ears and screaming "I can't hear you, I can't hear you" at the top of your voice. I'll never understand this desire people have to embrace ignorance and act as if its a virtue. It isn't. | ||

Only reason I use reddit is /r/dota2 for funny pictures, otherwise it is also a massive waste of time and energy. That isn't even close to ignorance lol. | ||

As matter of fact, it is a very simple medium of expressing one's opinionated thought(s). I have been trying to figure out what this means for awhile... what does this have to do with andersons sexuality? | ||

Because we should protect "innocent kids" who are working in a industry to achieve fame and fortune? Uhm, yes? How is that even a question? If you had a child would you like him/her to be exploited? There's a lot of children in the fashion and music industry who get molested, sexually assualted and taken advantage of. Should you not care because they're getting fame and fortune? Even if whatever subreddit you're speaking of isn't used for Child Pornography your post is just sad. You sicken me. | ||

People need to grow up and live their own lives, quit placating your own meaningless and insecurity with misplaced judgment and self-righteousness. Using pictures of children (even clothed) for erotic stimulation is morally questionable behavior, even if it's not 'child pornography.' Also, 'hacking' photobucket/facebook for suggestive photos of people is also bad. | ||

And that involved another person! What you are talking about is someone masturbating in the privacy of their own home, sorry, I don't agree that it's such a horrible thing. I honestly don't care what they get off to if they aren't harming anybody. Society says it's no longer ok to hate gays. We say it's no longer ok to hate blacks. We say it's no longer ok to burn people at the stake because they were "witches." The people in our society who still harbor great hatred and anger and resentment in their hearts only have a couple socially sanctioned outlets left for their hatred, the primary being pedophiles. Their hatred is so great and irrational that it even spreads to people who are NOT pedophiles, such as those who look at jailbait. "Disgusting, you make me sick, these people should eliminated," those are the types of comments you hear even on a board as typically tolerant as teamliquid. I can't tell how much of it is just blind anger and hatred and how much is a need for people to prop up their own egos by judging others so harshly. Either way, it just comes across to me as sad and backwards. | ||

You're seriously comparing disliking pedophilia to hating blacks? 3. You misunderstand me I think. I'm saying that using pictures of children is pedophilia, even if it isn't explicitly illegal. | ||

That said, I only go to Reddit if I absolutely have to; the site is ugly, unintuitive and annoying. That and I'll maybe be interested in one link out of an entire subreddit. Just not worth the time. Really never understood people's fascination with it. | ||

The one where he acknowledges that illegal things should be punished, while running a website that gives rapists the same free speech rights with their story as people who steal little kids' photobucket pictures? One of those things is DEFINITELY illegal, and the other you can defend with a mile-long list of corner cases and legalese written by internet libertarians who have never been outside. | ||

Free speech is free speech, is free speech. Once you start bringing your perspective and bias into it, it ceases to be free. | ||

Jailbait is not CP ... There is a big difference between the two and it would seem obvious that is the case because although the news might use them like synonyms they're not at all. It's not about facts, it's about definition. A young woman, or young women collectively, considered in sexual terms but under the age of consent. Young woman does not equal young child. | ||
