    it wouldn't have done any harm for a third party that wasn't a seriously ill woman being present

    That may hinder the manifestation of an opportunity to dole out autobiographical rhetoric;

    "My first instinct was to get out of there as fast as possible, but I had this overwhelming belief that if I reacted with aggression, alarm or even showed fear something terrible would happen to us.

  • Hard News: Still crazy after all these years,

    Thank you Russell, I was intending to post.

    Granted, however in this case, there is significantly more evidence against her dubious historical leanings than there is evidence of her racism.

    You've sewn that up nicely.

    been a champion of various explicitly racist myths, including the belief that Maori were not New Zealand's original inhabitants.

    I'm not certain if flawed historical conjecture equates to racism. Also I'm not convinced you do the term 'crazy' justice, equating it with ACT like that.

    Regarding this three strikes slogarama, what is the second strike other than a gimme from the system?

  • Busytown: Testing, 1 2 3,

    Q: Which object would be about 12 inches long?
    a) a road
    b) a jet plane
    c) a kitten
    d) a baseball bat

    The use of 'would' in the question can imply hypothetical conditionality, any object would be 12 inches long under certain conditions. Is this how the question was worded? I'd have gone with 'a road' just for argument's sake.

  • Up Front: Do My Homework For Me,

    pretending that prepubescent boys and girls don't have a sexuality, I'm right with you

    yeah. guess i'll have to break my long hiatus from reading books and actually actually check it out.

    Not only are children unlikely to comprehend the law but it goes totally against earlier experience.

    I don't understand your arrogance in informing me as to what my earlier experience should have been according to your's, maybe you were sexually naive/ignorant until a later age and it was a mystery, but I don't see why that need affect us all. Innocence is a fine contrast to make.

  • Up Front: Do My Homework For Me,

    You know perfectly well that it's not how child porn is produced, come on.

    In my defence your honour, actually I don't. My point wasn't so much about childporn, it was along the lines of my 'brave new world' spiel about education in the culled post. In that I had the wherewithal to know I didn't want to do it, I declined, but I didn't know I'd be breaking the law had i accepted. And had I accepted, why should that be any business of the state?

    "...children are hurt in the making of child porn"

    Cool, I'll try to find it, I'm reminded of a childhood experience, when I was seven, my second best friend (who shall remain nameless), was lying on his bed, and started rubbing himself against it, he said try this , it's great, jaded as I was I declined. If I'd wanted to do that with him I would have, if we'd filmed it, it would have constituted child porn. but at that age we were in a legislative nowhere land.
