    Mitt Romney has changed everything but his religion. But I think he would do much better to change that too and leave the anti-sex, anti-gay, anti-beer clan behind. Its hard enough to trust someone who changes his mind on everything, but its harder to trust someone who belongs to an anti-sex, anti-gay, anti-beer group, that is for sure!

    So why is it illegal? Arent these nations the lands of the free? Shouldnt people be allowed to discriminate if they want?

    DentShop, there is no such thing as 100 percent freedom for all. We are lucky if we can achieve 80 percent freedom for all. The basic rule is, though not always adhered to, that you are free to do anything that does not infringe upon the freedom of others. If you allow people to infringe on the freedom of others, then the percentage of freedom for all necessarily falls. Of course the highest percentage of freedom possible is what freedom loving people want.

    Gay marriage does not infringe on the freedom of others, except in the sense of their freedom to infringe on the freedom of others, a freedom I have just explained is not allowed because it lowers the freedom quotient. Anyone who wants that freedom should go live on a pirate ship rather than in a country with rules.

    That said, some forms of discrimination are allowed and some aren't, and some kinds are acceptable and some aren't. Laws that infringe on freedoms that don't infringe on other freedoms are not acceptable. But if you choose not to invite gays to your private tea party, that is acceptable, even if it is narrow-minded and pathetic.

    Al-Qaida suggesting that Shiites rise up against the ruling classes in Saudi Arabia?

    Where did you get that? They suggested ALL Saudis rise up and most are Sunni. They suggest it because the Al Saud family is corrupt. I have no idea if what you say about Al Quaida and the Shiites is true, but I do know that no one turns their back on 9 friends because 1 guy they don't like is among them.

    The ones producing the product ALWAYS mistreat the "actors".

    You have forgotten that some people busted for child porn were minors who took pictures of themselves! Or, I don't know, maybe you consider that self-mistreatment?

    And more than that, your argument sounds similar to old arguments against all porn, where it was assumed the woman was always mistreated, as it harmed her reputation. Brooke Shields took some pictures and made some movies that are considered child porn now. I don't see her complaining.

    I could live with it if you claimed 90 percent were mistreated. But ALWAYS? In CAPS? Come on.

    Wow! Never heard of them either! But seems like good fun.

    I am just wondering why there is no green wiggle? Seems more a natural than purple.

    What if a bisexual truly loves a man and a woman equally. Why do you arrogantly force him to choose? Why does society deny the bisexual that right simply because they are different to heterosexuals and homosexuals.

    Now if you can ask those questions seriously instead of rhetorically, you might get it. Why indeed? Why are we not free to do these things if all parties involved agree? Why is freedom so offensive to some?

    Its interesting to realize that no time in history has failed to have some group widely condemned and despised, with no amount of bile being too great to heap on them. There were witches, many of whom are now accepted as Wiccans. There were pinkos who are now our socialist allies. There were blacks who are now some of our most popular and respected musicians and actors, or any profession, including an American president who is half black. There were gays, and now, you can't say anything against them or you get attacked. You can't just go out and beat them up anymore. You can't blame all sexual evil on them anymore. You can't accuse them of destroying the fabric of society anymore. Nope. Their turn is over and its not coming back. Now its somebody else's turn, right up until we find someone else to kick around. Get with the times! Popularity certainly seems to be the only consistent reason to kick someone around, and its no longer popular to kick gays around.

    Then again, I would rank the 6 men in the U.S. arested and charged with child molestation as equally vile, if not more so, as someone who commits rape.

    Molestation equal to violent rape? Its strange that one hand you see that child porn violations are not equal to violent rape, but then you go on to say that molestation is? Remember, several attractive female teachers have jailed for molestion, etc on teenage boy students in America in recent years. It wasn't them complaining. It was the parents. Most of us here were teenage boys. And most of us fantasized about a teacher at that time. So please, give me a break with this molestation is equal to violent rape idea.

    I feel more sorry for the intelligent mammals EE, but we definitely share the same spirit. Its the animals who need a great day out, not us. And that day should be everyday.

    There is no magic method to make people learn a language they don't actually need. In the classroom, this grammar-translation method is as good any other, generally speaking. But I do suggest a variety.

    Also, its not so much the tool, but how its used. A teacher with skills, dedication and imagination can make it more productive than, ahem, MOST teachers I have seen.

    Beer4me "There is not one manga that I have seen that didn't have some form of sexual image of young girls."

    There's Doraemon, Chibi Maruko, and MeiTantei Conan.You must only be looking in "certain" places if you never saw them. Or any girl in a skirt is sexual to you. Either way, thanks for sharing!

    must be really offensive for even the Swedes to want to ban it in their country. So I say, good on the Swedish government!!!

    There was never a vote on it among the populace.

    It's the promotion of sexual images of underage girls so can technically be classed as kiddie porn.

    Right. Are you also bothered by all the bloody random murder in manga, and the violent war scenes?

    If I drew a manga of a 100 year old vampire who was bitten as a child and never grew or matured physically, and I drew her having sex, then what?

    Face it. This is a crackdown on thought, and its backwards. Its the realm of the moron.

    Its too bad. I have not been disappointed in a Toshiba product yet and I have several. Sony and L.G. have certainly let me down though. To be fair to L.G. though, the TV I got of theirs was used. It died in months.
