It's awesome that you guys know some bible verses about swords but why not try and stick with John 3:16
There are a lot of people bashing him for his military service but the guy was really looking out for veterans in his own way. Something the US gov seems to be really inept at doing right now.
Anyone that volunteers their freedom for a country even if it is a crappy one with citizens that calls them "mindless baby killers" has my respect more than a keyboard warrior any day.

Try watching some, you'll notice the difference quite fast.
I'm glad there is a bright side to all of this beside that kid's pasty sun dodging complexion
At least we know that everyone has a firm grip on what they consider porn.

I see that you are being attacked on all fronts so I will back off a little
I'm looking at the "double standard" of it in principle. Therefore I do find it applicable. We persecute male teachers that sleep with underage girls but conveniently understand the misguided affections of a female teacher when the roles are reversed. Underwear sniffing weirdness is just a documentary I saw a long time ago on some Japanese men that paid for "used" underwear. It was just beyond freaky deeky for me.
> I guess you mean "uncomfortable for me" because the adhesive on a set of pasties would certainly be more uncomfortable than hands which leave no residue
And that is my main painless point. Porn is in the eye of the beholder. If you are a single dude that just rubbed one off to some hentai it is probably more G rated than Disney. If you are the father of two children such as myself you see this as a huge step in the wrong direction. If the photographer rode the short bus to school and just doesn't get it, I still cannot see past the idea that this was planned in someway and all angles were thought out.
If it really was okay, the photo would still be in print.

I don't think that you can call or label porn as easily as larson or robbery.
I personally don't get off on people: beating the crap out of each other with whips, bounding and gagging making yellow snow cones on each other eating each others butt brownies out of a cone
but someone's flag pole gets raised watching these in the privacy of their home.
Personally I think they are being exploited with a marketable image that certain people flock too.

I think the real question is if this man would attempt to headbutt and bite a real snake.

Good grief. Put you Iphone down and look around for a second.
There are plenty of lonely girls/guys out there but it seems the headphones in/ face into smartphone screen will always win out

I think a far less uncomfortable yet equally effective "nipple shield" would have been some pasties, not some young boys hands. It's just plain used underwear sniffing weirdness at it's best but something far more sinister at it's worst. If some girl was covering some guy's beenie weenies that picture would have not even been taken.
1) Not kid's mom. 2) Kid probably doesn't act as a makeshift bra for okasan when a random photographer shows up during bath time 3) Isn't bath time a private bonding moment with the fam at least before trips to the onsen?

Too bad they are written in crayon
If you don't think it is porn, when does it start becoming porn? It wasn't' like the kid was holding them up for her.
Last year a news caster gets suspended for doing virtually the same thing. Cops have done it quite a bit as well but you can't see the insanity of a young boy doing it? YtF was it in "YOuNG" Magazine as well?
Next summer I'll leave my suit at home and walk into the office in my new and Improved "One Sock" cool biz outfit and see where that gets me.

Alas Poor Noda, I knew him well.
China did their best to get a hardliner into the number 1 slot. Now that Honest Abe is in they want to forget about the planes, ships and car flipping this fall and ask for diplomacy?
Sorry Charlie. You made your double Diaoyu/Senkaku Burger with Cheese. It's time to eat those words with some large fries and a coke.

It's a grown man, most likely well built hitting a 13 year old in the face while drunk
whoa whoa whoa sir. He is Air Force, which means that he is about as well built as a double whopper with cheese value meal.
