Our Political Positions

If anyone ever goes to a place called Vigo in Galician Spain then go to the art gallery there, I kid you not that you will either pass out or be so memerised that it can be considered art that you will walk around in complete awe while thinking about the object that I have in my mind.

P.S. I post this here due to the video on the previous page.

this is some very good surrealism. and its all online that's awesome

Yeah I saw that, but as far as I can remember that is not the place. It was a massive anti-war piece but it was the most grusome thing I could find. Basically it was a huge trailer type thing, whith bright colours, but scattered among it were pictures of horribly mutilated bodies missing limbs and heads. It was probably trying to highlight a contrast between war and peace, or something similar.

Economic Left/Right: -2.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.51

Gee, wonder why that's no longer the case?

Why do you think it's illegal? Hint: there's a very good reason.

Just child porn.

In other words, look at it from the criminal point of view.[/quote:2g05at2t]

i think this goes into the top 5 comebacks on these forums

Good job posting it in an unrelated thread.

On the 'CP' issue, as it has been referred to as.

Remember that most Child Pornography is taken, and uploaded against the child's will.
That is exploitation, and will leave said child scarred for life.
A child is not old enough to make the decision to participate in such acts, nor make them public.
It is thus immoral, and disgusting, in my opinion.

That being said..
I find it quite odd that people in possession of Child Pornography are punished equally as harsh as the people who physically exploit them.
And, I find it horrifying that Children, often younger than the people featured in the media they have possession of, are punished very severely. (A year or so ago, I read that an 11, or 12 year old was sent to Jail for something like two or three years, for possessing Child Pornography, featuring a 17 year old.)

I can't say I know what the solution to these problems is, but I think the laws regarding these issues need to be examined, and reformed into a better system.

Took the test. I got -6.88, -9.69. That's odd, I moved right about a point since the last time I took it. Also, first post!

Wow. You are probably the most Libertarian person here, according to that test.
I guess I am bumped up to four. ;(

Oh, Congrats on first post, by the way.

Thanks.

I don't think the viewing of CP should be prosecuted, but the collection, production, selling, etc should. A simple viewer does no harm. Also "virtual CP" should not be criminal.

I don't get it... wouldn't true libertarianism be somewhere in the bottom-right corner of that graph?

I just retook this test, and is has changed dramatically:

Economic Left/Right: -5.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.21

No, the term libertarian was hijacked by randriods (anarco-capitalist) in the 70s here in America.

I love that the people defending it never use the actual word, they just make it this faceless acronym.

I am not defending it, its disgusting, but we shouldnt waste resources on capturing pedophiles googling child porn.
