So, what when someone uses an Internet to reveal their plans of a terrorist attack? How would the police get them if their IP cannot be traced?
This seems like a well-written law for a change, and Brazilian government wasn't very Internet-friendly in the past as they used to block YouTube and ban video games (even rather innocuous ones like CounterStrike).

Science doesn't need to explain everything, it only needs dedication to facts.

That's a privilege that religion doesn't have. It's hard to win an argument against someone who thinks you're guilty until proven wrong.

That's one of the biggest differences between science and religion. A religious person will make up stories and outright lie. A scientist will say "I don't know. Let's find out.".

Everyone lies, not just religious people. I've been trolled by being called a creationist many times just because I defended religion, without even mentioning anything about creationism of course. Also, scientists tend to dismiss every natural phenomena that they are unable to explain as superstition, or even call some stuff that has little to do with science, and is not a threat to it (like conspiracy theories) as "dangerous pseudo-science".

Why? I am an atheist and I meditate regularly. It's my method of relaxing, clearing my mind of extraneous thoughts and focusing upon those that are foremost. It is a way of being able to think through life issues calmly and rationally. There is absolutely nothing religious or magical about it.

Can science explain mediation? If not, then it's magic. Of course you could simply say that you use meditation because "it works". But every religious person will also say that prayer works. As I said (and you failed to prove me wrong, instead you obviously replied as AC so you can mod my post as troll - of course I wouldn't expect better from the likes of you), it's much like prayer, even though the other person who replied to me pointed out one difference which I don't disagree with. Both things are still very spiritual, and spirituality - not "magic" as you call it - is what religion (any religion) is all about.

I hope you haven't run out of mod points.

So there's some sort of rule that you either have to support all amendments to the Constitution, or none of them?

Yes, it's called leftist thinking. They apply the same logic to everyone they don't like.

So if you say that you're Christian, they'll automatically assume that you think The Earth is 4000 years old and God created fossils of dinosaurs to test our faith.

If you say that you're pro-life, they'll imply that you think that abortion should be illegal even when continued pregnancy will result in mother's death.

And If you say that you support gun rights, they'll imply that you have posters of Anders Breivik in your bedroom.

You're a moron. Amendments like the 1st and 4th and the 14th, which guarantee individual liberty, are categorically different from amendments like the 16th, which expand state power. Paul is entirely consistent in being in favor of individual liberty and against state power.

Yeah but OP is a fag who think state should have all power on the world and that we all should exist just to serve the state. He despises corporate capitalism yet his visions of The Gov't could be summed up as "One corpororation to rule them all".

Other primates, even chimpanzees and gorillas, cannot give informed consent, so marrying them would never be justifiable for the same reason marrying a four-year-old is not reasonable.

I'm gonna reveal a shocking truth to you - it is entirely legal to eat an animal without its consent.
And yet somehow it's not legal to eat a four-year old.
