Comment Re:protection racket (Score 1) 148

Wasn't there a clause inserted when the xxx domain started that allows companies and entities to register their own .com or .org domain as a .xxx for cheap if they don't intend to use it as an adult site and only to block others from using it? I have a hard time believing that charging a few benjamins to a celebrity that makes millions is a racket.

You have never taken any sefl-defense courses have you? Everyone is capable of being lethal, either through size, strength, speed, or sheer luck. Going hands on is very dangerous even with an incapacitated target. Perhaps more so because they don't respond predictably to pain or fear. It only takes half a second to kill someone if you are with in arms reach.

The video next shows the knife coming near the officer, hitting the side of a train and ricocheting to the platform, where it came to rest. The officer then fired his gun, the video indicates. Rainey said three shell casings were recovered on the station platform and indicate that the officer fired three shots. He said the preliminary indication is that Hill was struck by all three shots, but he cautioned that the investigations have not been completed and there has not yet been an official determination of how many shots were fired and how many times Hill was hit. The knife that Hill allegedly threw at the officers was 8 inches long, including a 4-inch blade, Rainey said. A second knife of the same size was also found on the platform and investigators believe Hill was armed with that knife as well, Rainey said. He showed photographs of both knives to reporters.

How many free sex societies have prospered in human history? I can't think of any. There have been several that tried, but none that lasted long.
IMO it is because the mindset that puts such high value on instant gratification of any sort is not the type to instill other societal virtues as, patience, self-control, and charity. It is just about me, right now.
Even today you can look at communities where promiscuity is the norm and see the contrast in quality of life compared to a "regular" community.
