Man called pervert for photographing his own kids

I blame Fox news. And in addition to that I'm pretty sure my opinion of humanity just dropped.

[Aliotroph?]

Yeah, people suck. The ironic bit is the news story caused some of the pics to end up publicly on the net anyway so any people who want them for the wrong reasons can now have a go! Now I'm finding all this quite funny. Again, it's just more people thinking they need to tell others what to do because of their own crappy paranoia.

[Doom_Dude]

It's sad that the guy couldn't take a few snaps of his kids without being harassed by some paranoid, nitwit. There will always be idiots in this world, unfortunately.

Unbelievable, and utterly pathetic.
The world is too much absorbed by the panicking nature of media and news. There was/is one issue in australia that an artist 'photographer' took pictures of a 13yo girl naked, and called it art, others accused it of child pornography. Now this paranoia is going WAYY too far now. Reminds me of a simpsons episode, where they said 'lucky we didn't get bitten and transformed into mindless zombies', and they sit down and watch tv... Dramatic irony.

yeah i remember that it was pretty stupid the media just overtake things over the limit.

Haha if I was him I would've took a picture of that woman without warning and run away with it and put it on the internet!

This is what happens when you let scumbags like Jack McLellan and Lindsay Ashford roam free. People get paranoid but with a reason.

[REoL]

Even if those were true, half of them would beat using fairy tales to justify forbidding people getting married. The rest are just the kind of crap that scum does. Besides, most accusations of perversion come from conservatives.

Funny that you mention that because most of the people accused of perversion are liberal

People on the far left and far right are often equally stupid and ignorant.

Exactly the same could be said of apolitical and centrist people.

[rustyslacker]

The more moderate folks are the ones who understand that both sides have some working ideals and some shitty ones. Also, REoL:

What the FUCK are you talking about? You don't see the problems inherent in conservative bullshit like our current foreign policy and religion in our government? I'm no liberal (they have equally stupid ideas like gun control and affirmative action) but even you should be able to see how badly screwed up some things are thanks to conservatives.

People can't see them because there's none. If anything, the only problem would be these foreign and reilgious policies not being pushed as far as they should.

Half the issues in this country could be solved by simply finishing the job instead of backing off everytime bleeding-heart liberals whine.

Why isn't this thread in the Politics forum already?

[Aliotroph?]

Governments shouldn't have religious policies.

Hehehe, affirmative action is one of the worst ideas ever invented. It was invented by fake liberals methinks. Us proper liberals (ie. the ones who want to merge man with machine while spending trillions on science and arms research, while coming off decidedly centrist) would never come up with something so illogical and inefficient. That crap is pushed by the same idiots who push for quotas on things like women in science. How the hell is that supposed to work, and when has any scientist supported it???

Gun control is a weird thing. Hard to tell if it ever does any good because all the countries that have it tend to have far less crime than America anyway (well, Britain has lots of murders too but they use knives and they still have fewer murders). Canada has less and our murders often use rifles or guns from the states. Japan has almost no crime at all, but then the odd person flips out and goes on a rampage. They have no guns though; some of their cops have .22s.

Does America have a consistent foreign policy? You guys never seem to be able to decide what country is bad, or even how to treat two countries that are similar (why is Cuba the only embargoed communist country? correction: North Korea too, but they impose most of that themselves still). As a result, you really are screwed with Iraq. If you stay, everybody hates you and you spend trillions on it; if you leave, everybody hates you and the country becomes a chaotic hellhole. Methinks there will be some Americans in Iraq for a long, long time, unless something else big happens there.

Rusty's comment about the far left and far right is very true methinks.

[Heidi]

People should be allowed to get as many guns as they please, but ALWAYS after passing a psychological test and ONLY if they have no significant criminal record.

That's the first reason we still have plenty of crime, no control at all, the other one being death sentence not having been extended to rape, robbery and the like, criminals just know they can exploit the loopholes in the penal system and get away with their antisocial behaviors over and over again.

[Aliotroph?]

Death sentences don't stop crimes of passion, which pretty much covers most murders. They probably won't stop other stupid crimes either. It's also a dumb plan to have a death penalty for anything other than obvious crimes where the evidence is plain as day or the guilt is admitted. You guys spend way too much money trying to figure out if you're gonna kill the right guy and then sometimes still get it wrong. Guys like that nut who just stabbed 17 people in Japan could be taken out in the back 40 and shot if you really wanted though. Wouldn't solve anything, not even for the Japanese, but it would stop repeat offenders.

A huge chunk of gun deaths would go away if people didn't keep loaded guns where kids can find them in a hurry. Didn't we learn this lesson with pill bottles already?

When you say I should be allowed as many guns as I want, can I apply that to other things too? Things like cannons, AA guns, TOW missiles, SCUDs, landmines, grenades, .50 machine guns, tactical nukes, etc, etc? Those look fun!

[ghost]

The death sentence is just a method of saving money isn't it? I say let the prisoners go through mild torturing or other alternatives to screw their lives, as they screwed others. Death is too easy for these criminal scums.

Guns, one of humanity's worst invention, and who would, in such stupidity, fucking allow people use it? It is ridiculous and dumb, America has one of the worst crime rates, and this is definitely the reason why. Sure maybe people pass the psychioshit test, but virtually everyone will panick and fire their weapons due to our human instincts, I say police, security forces are only allowed to have those weapons. On the contrary, people having guns is no control AT ALL.
Hmm free guns, can I have a BFG meal, with fries and some C4 to finish it off?

And for governments, politics should pass a test, to depict how biased they are. The last thing citizens need is to have biased or religion people.
In Sydney, Australia, we are currently having the pope wandering around the place, and the state government has banned people from protesting on catholism/christianity. Well... I don't see any laws imposed on stopping people protesting on muslims or jews, or 'miscellanous'... any biasness in that??
Thats my 2 cents.

[Aliotroph?]

Politicians are supposed to be biased. It's their job. Well, in theory their job is to represent the rest of us, which they do badly because there's a conflict of interest built into the system, but meh. States with constitutions limiting the power of those fools usually do better. Many states have official religions. These countries are led by religious people. If Australia's laws favour Christians then there are probably lots of Christian politicians there. I say let them keep the law allowing you to protest muslims and use that as a precedent in the future to smack the Christians.

Guns didn't cause all the crime in the states. There's something else going on there. We have lots of guns too. Not so many, but lots, and we can easily commit crimes with other things, but we don't so much. There are of course lots of violent crimes in Canada, but America has a higher rate, and I don't get why. Guns just make it nastier.

Your opinion of guns is wrong though. I can't stand the thought of letting a large organization like a government have a monopoly on guns. Like you basically pointed out, politicians and their friends are to be distrusted. Letting them have all the guns is dangerous (note that this is basically the case in Canada and even the U.S. anyway). I have an inherent distrust of organizations (in any form), leading me to want a government that basically lets people do whatever the hell they want as long as those things don't curtail the freedoms or safety of others (last part leads to some restrictions on guns for example). That said, if you have a government that's too small, you have organizations like companies and churches taking power for their own, so you need a government that acts as an enemy of these things. Now I don't know how to build that, since it seems politicians are always friends of companies and churches. Such a state may be quite impossible to build, but I'll happily push for individual freedoms in the mean time.
