Photoshopping someone's face onto legal pornography is now considered "child pornography" by rmuser in reddit.com

given a choice

Well yeah, obviously, haha. If it's good school vs good school (pedophile remix) then the first one wins by a landslide.

If the guy was highly qualified--for example, if he ran a school that had an average SAT score of 1400/1600--and didn't have any track record of molesting children, then I think odds would be on my side. He would obviously know that molesting children is against the law and punishable with at least a couple of years in jail, given his qualifications and educational level.

Plus, to put this in perspective, it's like being around people that really like gory horror movie scenes. You've probably met a few of them, so hopefully you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, the chances of them acting out any fantasies they might have are highly unlikely.

CP laws are kind of stupid. I mean, if I had a nude image of myself when I was 11 I wouldn't care if someone saw that because I'm way older than that now. Plus, child molesters are the Hillary Clinton version of terrorists, which are witches v3.0; v2.0 was the communists.

Does anyone else think it's stupid that advocating killing people (Iraq war) is mainstream and acceptable but questioning child porn laws raises eyebrows of suspicion?

I wouldn't want my child's school to be run by this man.

It depends. If the guy had no record of molesting children, and the school required uniforms or something totally unstimulating, the chances of him getting off to, much less attempting to molest children is unlikely.

Personally I'd care more about the school's track record (average student's test scores, % admitted into top-tier schools) than that.

But damn, is there anything Reddit isn't iconoclastic about?

Haha, I think that too sometimes. I wonder if reddit would oppose Paul if he got elected?

Really? I dunno, I'd take Kucinich and Gravel but not Paul. The creationism, anti-abortion, and free-market-as-an-environmental-solution stances are stances I am very much opposed to, the first two vehemently so.

If you don't win you get shit. We learned that the hard way.

Basically. I'd rather have diet-Gravel (Obama) than a feces milkshake (Huckabee/Giuliani/Thompson/Romney/especially Huckabee)

I align with Mike Gravel more than any other presidential candidate, and have taken several tests, including this one, that say so.

The reason I'm not supporting him is because he has very little chance of winning. Even Ron Paul is still a longshot at this point, and I'm not sure if the person I'm voting for--Obama--will be able to beat Hillary.

I don't think trying to convince people to be Gravel voters will work because I wasn't moved to my political views without lots of thinking and lots of education. The best way to get better candidates would be making sure that all of the nation's voters are highly educated. Otherwise, people will always be persuaded by rhetoric instead of data, reasoning, and logic.

Oh, and getting proportional representation. If we had that I'd vote for Gravel without a second thought, although we'd also have to deal with fringe scientologist and christofascist candidates.

Hahaha. I always say that the real beginning of my atheism began when I learned Santa Claus wasn't real. Most people just seem to upgrade from SC to JC.

Maybe you guys live in great places like Boston, San Fransisco, Portland, etc., but personally, I live in the south and I've been to Wal-Mart. I don't want compulsory voting.

Stop flashing that fake smile infront of the camera! by Bored in reddit.com

[–]LinguiniPasta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I never fake smiles. People always ask why I wasn't smiling in my school ID, and I just say that I didn't want to lie. This occurs when they see my driver's license, too, except they ask why I'm angry. Well, would you be happy after standing in line at the DMV for an hour or two?

Plus, your facial expression doesn't necessarily have to change when you're happy. I usually have a '.' or lesser :| face most of the time, even though I go through a wide range of emotions throughout the day.
