They are called GENERALIZATIONS. Of course not 100% of a race is all the same. But stereotypes exist for a reason, they arent just made up. "Asians are smart." Now of course not all are, but most. Also, they are always the ones who cant seem to drive well. Why is that insulting if its fact?????

"Blacks are loud and have poor vocabularies." Watch the WB on a Monday night and tell me if thats incorrect. I dont know why pointing out a differnce between people is considered racist.

I ask this because of the drugs used to control everything and the "conditioning" used to "teach" kids and so on. Why are we trying to control everything so much and are we the cause of a lot of problems in humans...are we trying to control nature too much?

Child Porn Among Fastest Growing Internet Businesses

By LifeSiteNews.com Staff

ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 9, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Within only a few years, child pornography has become a multi-billion dollar commercial enterprise, and is among the fastest growing businesses on the Internet. Through the use of digital and web cameras, child pornography has become easier and less expensive to produce. Distribution on the Internet has facilitated instant access by thousands and possibly millions of individuals throughout the world. The ability to use credit cards to purchase child pornography has made it easier than ever to obtain.

Arrests in the United States for the possession of child pornography, during a one-year period from 2000 to 2001, exposed alarming activities.

According to investigators, the majority of those arrested had images of children who had not yet reached puberty. Specifically, 83% had pornographic material that involved children between ages of 6 and 12; 39% had material involving children between ages 3 and 5; and 19% had images of infants or toddlers under age 3.

"The ease and anonymity of using home computers has revolutionized accessibility as well as the production and distribution of child pornography, especially across international borders," said Ernie Allen, President and CEO, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC). "The fact that child pornography can be purchased using a credit card, or traded at no cost on the Internet, is causing an exploding global problem and an immeasurable impact on the sexual exploitation of children."

The exact number of Web sites is difficult to determine. Since 1997, the number of child pornography images on the Internet is estimated to have increased by 1500%. It is estimated that 100,000 child pornography Web sites exist on the Internet, and that number may be increasing. NCMEC's congressionally mandated CyberTipline received 21,603 reports of child pornography in 2001, and in 2004 it received 106,176 reports -- a 491% increase over a four-year period.

Child pornography is illegal in most countries. The possession and/or distribution of child pornography is a federal crime in the United States. It is estimated that 20% of all pornography on the Internet involves children.

"Traditionally, we have viewed pedophiles as the users and distributors of child pornography," said Allen. "However, we are shocked to learn that the consumer market for child pornography is growing and becoming much broader.

Younger and younger children are being victimized, and the content is becoming more graphic and more violent."

I just got home from quite a strange experience and would like to know, if there is anybody whom I can share this feeling with.
Today I got into a conversation of 3 people at work (an After Hour Club) and after that conv. was over (we were closed already) I found myself left there with this complete stranger and as one word led to another, we were suddenly talking about addictions, love, losses, bosses, trust, life crises ... pretty much everything that is deeply meaningful in human lives. There were no pauses, one topic brought us to the next, it was a very open conversation that lasted for 8 (!) hours. And we actually only stopped, because I have to get some sleep before working again. And there was absolutely no sexual attraction.
I just think this was a very special, seldom situation that we probably don't get to be part of very often in our lives.
I feel lighter and happier, even though I wasn't unhappy before it at all.
Anybody there, who knows how good but weird this feels?

I was arrested for fighting and apart from the fine I had to attend an 'Anger management' course.
During one of these sessions the guy running the course called me a 'punk'!! so I decked him and gave him a few kicks!
The session had been recorded and I stole the tape to prove I was provoked into giving him a bit of a kicking.
My lawyer is now telling me I had no right to take the tape and he cant produce it in court , have I got a case? or should I go back and give him a few more kicks??
Any 'legal Eagles' out there??
