    Taking pictures of children in public is illegal

    The sexual harassment of children is illegal. One man was also stalking them, which is illegal. Another was also fondling himself at the pool while sexually harassing children, which is illegal. There's just no wiggle room for you here, I'm afraid. You're going to have to just use your...

    Why do people deny or have various doubts about God?

    To sum up how our solar system formed, we started with a nebular cloud which collapsed in on itself to form the sun. The sun's formation caused a flattened out plane of matter that began as particles which collided and clumped together to form planets. Moons were either clumps of matter captured...

    Why do people deny or have various doubts about God?

    Yes, we have always known that a day is defined by the sun (and we now also know it is a full rotation of the earth). What I'm asking is how there could have been THREE of them before God created the sun. Especially since the rate of spin and the orbit of the earth (a year) are caused by the...

    The bright side of Atheism

    I'll live as though there is no possibility of eternal reward or punishment and nobody looking over my shoulder to see which one I deserve. The thing I retain is my autonomy and liberty. A life without those two things is not worth living, Imo. The thing I risk is nothing, since I don't...

    10 Teachings of Jesus Challenge

    I skipped the thread to see what I remember. Love God. Love your neighbour. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Turn the other cheek. If a man asks you to walk a mile for him, walk two. Don't do your banking in church. It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle...

    Why do people deny or have various doubts about God?

    The idea that it was six literal days brings in a whole heap of other problems. For example, how could three of them pass before the sun was created? Literally impossible.

    Why do people deny or have various doubts about God?

    Look it up or don't. Your ignorance is not my responsibility. You've given me no reason to believe you would be in any way affected by evidence, given that you are willing to argue that plants can exist without sunlight. So why should I waste my time?

    Taking pictures of children in public is illegal

    Sexual harassment isn't "free speech".

    Taking pictures of children in public is illegal

    Yup. Makes you wonder, doesn't it. :cover:

    Taking pictures of children in public is illegal

    Ok, but that was not the case in any of the situations cited in the OP. All three possessed child pornography, which is a felony, all three were reported by ordinary civilians for their disturbing and aberrant, pervy, pedo behaviour, one was wanking during the "photography" session and one was...

    Taking pictures of children in public is illegal

    The "freedom" to crouch behind a group of swimsuit clad children at a public pool, stroking your junk and snapping close-ups of their crotches is one nearly nobody on earth desires, and one that no parent on earth is likely to tolerate, regardless of the law. Furthermore, it's also illegal. I...

    Is anyone else totally checked out yet?

    Yup. I miss the days before the Internet in so many ways.

    Seven Reasons it's easier to Believe in God than to Accept Evolution

    Which points?

    Taking pictures of children in public is illegal

    I'll buy that for a dollar. This is what I was thinking in post #2. Our right to feel that our children are safe and secure in public should take priority over any pervert's right to wank over pictures of whomever he's been creeping on.

    Why do people deny or have various doubts about God?

    I'll buy that. In fact, to the extent that I accept the possibility of a higher power, I believe it is responsible for all of our art, music, mythology and stories. Particularly that which erodes the boundary between our isolation and our sense of belonging to the world. IMO, art is of God...

    What's Your Debating Style?

    Ok, I know we nearly always disagree on everything, but I'll pile on this "welcome back Kathryn" heap of girls. You're much better at continually taking issue with all of my opinions than anybody else who has been filling in for you while you've been gone, since you occasionally consult facts...

    Why do people deny or have various doubts about God?

    The Occam's-Razor-iest explanation by a long mile is that all of our holy books were written by ordinary men who knew literally nothing about the world, the solar system, life on earth, the universe or how any of it came to be. Religious minds tend to be very uncomfortable with the unknown...

    Seven Reasons it's easier to Believe in God than to Accept Evolution

    Perhaps you see no lies because you've only ever studied evolution from a creationist, anti-evolution point of view, and what he says is consistent with what all the other anti-evolutionists say. A truly awful person once observed that if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth...

    Seven Reasons it's easier to Believe in God than to Accept Evolution

    No need. Such videos can not and do not sway those who, like myself, are educated about evolution and the evidence for it. They start with a false definition of evolution and get progressively sillier from that point forward. I've watched a few, and read a couple creationist books. None deviate...

    Taking pictures of children in public is illegal

    It is simple, isn't it? It's enough to make me wonder what Skwim thinks police actually do for a living. On a totally unrelated note, have you seen Happy Valley? Your country has a lot of great cop shows, but that one was amazing. Totally blew me away. I'm reminded of it because the...
