I'd say it'd be even worse than a nuclear bomb. Weaponized VX can, if the wind direction is right, can theoretically "cleanse" a small country of any advanced life forms without those pesky side effects such as irradiation preventing a later conquest. Sure, nukes are great bunker busters and their symbolic effect is not to be understated - but if you want to go for true mass destruction, nerve gas is much more effective.

I hope you are aware that it were the people who *did* care are also the ones responsible for your right to actually spout that garbage of yours.

You haven't been to Europe recently, have you? There may be quite a few things that aren't so great about the US, but it still is one of the few western countries that actually has free speech (and no silly hate speech laws restricting it) and has better things to spend money on than gendering the stickers in subway trains asking you to give your seat to mothers with small children (oh, apologies: *fathers* with small children) or handing out government prices to people who waste their time in a similar fashion.

Thank you very much for pointing me at this most interesting story about David Hahn; reading it was time I've spent well :) .

A Clockwork Orange (and similar works of fiction) differ from the aforementioned rape simulation in that it's point is a completely different one. The point of Clockwork Orange is of a sociological (or political, if you wish so) nature; the point of a pedophile tentacle rape comic is to satisfy the sick desires of those who get a hard-on over it.

Also, your post got modded troll because certain people here are idiots >.> .

But these are mentally ill, and even if they can somehow control their illness, I still find it rather dangerous or, at least, irresponsible to reward them for living out their illness. A cure would certainly be better - but the first step in curing someone's mind is by making them realize the wrongness of their believes. Curing a disease is much better than suppressing it, for both it's sufferer and his fellow humans.

Well - your country's ruling party is called Fianna Fail for a reason :P .

Perhaps, but there's a little difference between being attracted to a hot woman having consensual sex and being attracted to pre-legal kids getting raped, isn't there?

I love how certain readers of Slashdot keep substituting -1 Troll for "-1 Strongly Dislike And Wish To Censor".

Call of Jury: Modern Lawfare :P

Because there still are quite a lot of people out there using less-than-well protected E-Mail services/software?

Not necessarily. In fact, in many online games, I quite enjoy playing against "the pros" every once in a while. Sure, I may get blown to pieces, but by carefully watching how my enemy manages to outskill me, I learn, and that's easily one of the most important aspects of competitive gaming.

Are you, by any chance, European?
