Hidden illegal porn

jeudi 26 avril 2018 à 02:00

Reportedly, illegal porn images are hidden somehow on sites that are meant to contain legally allowed porn, and this puts innocent visitors in danger of being imprisoned for something they did unintentionally.

Any law that makes it a crime to have a copy of some published works is a terribly dangerous injustice. These laws must be eliminated.

Does anyone know more about the technical practice that the article describes? Merely using a shortened URL does not "hide" the page it refers to.

Bigots in India

jeudi 26 avril 2018 à 02:00

The mob of bigots in India now attacks those who try to stand for secularism or human rights for the discriminated-against.

Opposing the NRA

Opposing the National Rifle Association: introducing the No Rifle Organization or NoRA.

I enjoy the joke, but I fear it plays into the hands of the NRA, which will say, "See, they want to confiscate all rifles." US gun control advocates do not propose to go that far.

Joking with the bully

jeudi 26 avril 2018 à 02:00

Comey joked with the bully about putting a whistleblower's "head on a pike", and reporters in jail.

He is doing the right thing (for whatever reason) by spilling facts to incriminate the bully, and we should appreciate that. But we must not lionize him, since his career has included wrong as well as right.

The American dream

jeudi 26 avril 2018 à 02:00

"America first" was a slogan of American fascists. Some of the bully's associates used associated racist slogans such as "100% American", which was understood as meaning "100% Aryan".

But don't criticize the cheater for saying that the American dream was dead. The Horatio Alger dream, that by hard work you could get a good job and prosperity (not riches), was killed by plutocrats (of which the cheater was just one) years before he became a candidate.

Where he lied was in claiming he would try to reverse that. What he has actually done is help those plutocrats knock other Americans down.
