Okay. But what's the logic of making cartoons of children having sex illegal (as is the case in Aussieland). Where's the victim? Where's the crime? This is nothing more than morality enforcement except now instead of the Catholic church doing it, it's the government.

First, all laws are based on somebody's definition of right and wrong, i.e. morality.

Second, if it is illegal then it is a crime. However I think you were trying to make the point of "who is damaged" in the
scenario. Well, you seem to have made the assumption that there is no damage to individual who "uses" child porn.
I'd like to know how many studies or testimonies of previous "users" will it take to convince you that it is/does

Third, I'd like you to honestly think to yourself if you would have the same opinion if someone drew cartoon images of your wife, daugther, mother, or sister being raped.

Lastly to address your comment about "land of the free," I'll just quote John Adams:
“Our constitution was made for a moral and religious people; it is wholly inadequate for any other.”

Easy fix my friend, you just have to chroot Girlfriend 1.0.
Just beware that you do this properly as this is very dangerous and can cause insufficient resource errors.
Also if Wife 1.0 encounters any girlfriend 1.0 files, your GnuCash files will be deleted and then Wife 1.0 will uninstall, but not cleanly.

Regarding the iBaby popup... Check carefully next time... there should be a "don't remind me again" checkbox.

First, smoking provides ZERO nutritional value. Mickey D's does provide some nutritional value, and you do need to eat.
You don't need to smoke to live. You may want to smoke or even be addicted, but you're not going to die if you stop.
Second, while those people aren't eating a very healthy diet anyhow, they don't eat at Mickey D's 10 times a day (or however many times a day you smoke, which is very like more than twice.)

Most homeschoolers I know are people who aren't sociable and just don't want to deal with the daily social 'grind' of dealing with people. Also they ahve some fear the child will be exposed to something outside there own beliefs.

The Law of Biogenesis states that modern life does not arise from non-life

LOL! You have a very strange definition of modern.
Redi published the results of his experiments in 1668.

Probably a better description of your argument is that fully formed life does not spontaneously generate.

It's still rather funny that you cannot cite any evidence to prove that life comes from non-life. You can at best try to insert a word into a description of a scientific law to try and alter the meaning.
