^there is no such things as clean 5G

Five eyes exist, this is just another five eyes being made but now with 5G. Pure propaganda.

Your precious 'law and order' is literally fascism. Or do you need an actual fucking kristallnacht to get the point?

I have no knowledge or opinion on the events and people portrayed, but that article is not written properly.

I mean, "name one good reason why x" is already two fallacies rolled into one.

A kristallnacht against whom? Last I checked, it was the rioters breaking the glass of people's windows.

Oh, my dear, that "article" was not done for good journalism or anything of the sort, but for propaganda. I'm sure that the Yellow Turbans had similar nonsense about the "evil Han empire" oppressing the followers of the "Way of Peace".

Given that all the characters on your avatars might count as "underage", I strongly suggest not sharpening a sword that may one day be aimed at you.

Don't be silly, as everyone knows, all Fate Stay Night characters are over 18.

(Nervous smile and side glance).

[LegalLoliLover]

No, yours.

Why is this thread full of people apparently well able to write but not to sodding read?

This thread, yet again, is going stupid places. Mods are debating action: in the mean time, please back down from each other, and drop the twin painful topics of whether an entire continent and all its peoples - throughout their millennia of history - can be easily put in a box and forgotten about, and how legal or not it may be to get off to drawings that look like kids.

I refuse, tankie. Or perhaps, this is more appropriate for you:

Which is why the Miller Test is pretty retarded and so is obscenity laws for fictional work:

It assumes that art needed obvious meaning or apparent value to be art. See the Fountain (Duchamp).

It assumes there is an "average American" with perfect "common sense" to base the test upon.


Basically, if you ever got sued for loli or shota content, it would depend on rather your judge and jury are mostly filled with weebs

LVL, your protest has been considered and rejected. You clearly proffered your own opinion beyond summarising that of the article, and that opinion was vastly ignorant, crudely stereotypical, and offensive. Whether or not dismissing "Africans" as forever having a singular, stagnant, underachieving culture is racism or paints with too broad a brush to even qualify for that is an exercise for the reader, but it's certainly unacceptable. Your poor standard of posting now accrues you a third warning in a short period of time, and you therefore earn a strike.

The rest of you included in this post are on thin ice and I was halfway minded to drop warnings on you too. When staff intervene in a thread, especially when they mention official action being undertaken, you do not blithely continue on with the same stuff that got us to drop in. You take some bloody notice and mind your manners.

On a slightly more positive note, kudos to those who gave us reports and did refrain from jumping on the dungheap. Thank you for your contributions to a better forum.

My interest on Puella Magi is purely platonic and Madoka's mom is where it's at.

Fair enough.

Portland's mayor got teargassed by feds

can we now talk about the widening crack between the federal and state authority in the us

[AsGryffynn]

Africans purged each other. Humans purged those that doesn't fit into their line of thought. What matters is do you have the power to do it or not.

I am glad you actually realize where the actual problem is here.

[Deathhappens]

I don't think you realize that was one of the topics you were supposed to be dropping.

Is that even news?

[Zurvan]

If they want to continue the topic even now then clearly they are prepared for the consequences

In a sense, yes? Assaulting an elected official like that is generally illegal. However, it's just one of many illegal things there.

[Mattias]

I don't think they really care about legalities when they're pulling people off the street into unmarked vehicles.

[Twelveseal]

Like I said, one of many.

[AsGryffynn]

I was just agreeing with someone's hopefully abstract train of thought, not an endorsement in any way.

Also, do we do tech news here?

[Twelveseal]

I guess?

Also, apparently rules are made to be broken.
