the authorities have:

He doesn't lurk the toy aisles for Transformers....he walks up and down
looking for Little Johnny.

'tis true. Pro-life advocate is also a pedophile. "Save the kiddies!
They're only RIPE for so long!" And he didn't collect Transformers as a
hobby; he used them as BAIT. *shudders*

Oh sweet Primus in a chicken basket...

All those increasingly-absurd and snarky comments I made about Transfans
hiring bounty hunters to take out other Transfans look pretty tasteless
right about now...

Which isn't to say I've forgotten the other factor -- I'm just shocked and
speechless on that one. Comment I cannot. (who'da thought).

On the bounty-offering, though...

I really thought that we wouldn't be seeing that again. Not even in jest
(and I'm not convinced the first time *was* in jest, but hey...).

But none of that matters.

I suspect there's going to be some soul searching in our community (and a
community we are, if a fractious one). After all, it's not like anyone
knew or suspected before now. Who knows what the future will bring?

As for the Nixtr himself... it would be easy to join the bandwagon of
condemnation that will follow. I will not. Which is not to say I defend
his activities, for there is no defense (as his entered plea of
guilty should indicate). Rather, I will hope he gets help, should the
opportunity present itself. Certainly I suspect he'll have a fair bit of
time to reflect...

I honestly believe Nick *liked* Transformers and that his interest didn't
exist solely for the benefit of his other "hobby". I first met him up in
Steve-O's room at BotCon '97 and I remember how proud he was of the Lava
Bath SHBM Galvatron he purchased for $200 from Tony Preto along with several
BW prototypes. I just can't believe that -

Its an article about someone being arrested for putting a bounty on abortion
doctors and owning child pornography. The person it is about went by the name
"The_Nixtr". It's clean.

I think I'm just going to bow out gracefully here as well. I wouldn't be
able to say anything about the guy, considering I didn't know anything about
him, other than the polls he conducted here for Trans-Talk. Never been to a
Botcon either.

Which is why I probably should've kept my big mouth shut in the first place.

Once again, I apologize.

No, Azi, all of us are just making general assumptions about The Nixtr,
despite all the evidence and facts presented before us. And that many of us
knew the guy. And we're all not really surprised as much as grossed out.

So yes, it was him. Ew.

"Pedophile" is a loaded term, as is "child pornography". There's not
enough information in the article to draw any conclusions. He may have
simply had a few pictures of under-18 models, which is something I doubt
many people really think is immoral, despite its illegality. Just because
they charged him doesn't mean it was hardcore stuff with pre-pubescant
children, or that he is a sexual predator.

And, there's absolutely zero evidence for that statement. Nixtr is
undoubtedly a genuine TransFan. Seems like you may have just been making
a joke, but, that should have been indicated in some way. Nixtr still has
a lot of friends on ATT, and I for one don't appreciate seeing people make
these sorts of comments with no justification.

Eeeg. He used to be a regular way back when in 1997-98. Heck, he was the

I agree with Steve-o. We have heard that the Nixtr was in possession of
some child pornography pictures. That doesn't automatically make him a
child molester. But HooksX has recently taken a quite nasty and cynical
tone.
And besides, abortion IS wrong. I'm not suggesting killing the
abortion-doctor would have been right... but it sure sounds more moral
than letting him kill thousands of innocent children.

So is "murderer", a term he liked to throw around, but I digress...

He's not just "charged". He's "plead guilty". If all I was guilty of was a
few pictures of nekkid 16 year olds in a cache file, you better believe I'd
fight that shit. He didn't. He plead guilty. PLEAD. It could still
possibly what you said, and its what I first thought, but...damn, it doesn't
look good. He didn't even *fight* it.

Just because

No, but if he IS viewing pictures of pre-pubescent porn (and I don't think
that that stuff is easy to find), he's guilty of perpetuating child abuse.

This thread looks like it's going to get inflammatory very fast. I will just
point out that a) I get porno spam in my inbox for "ILLEGAL TEENAGE SLUTS!!!"
just about every day, so I'd hardly call that sort of thing difficult to come
across, and b) your latter claim holds about as much water as saying that
anyone who owns a copy of "Lethal Weapon" is guilty of perpetuating murder.

Guys, whatever else Nixtr may be, he is also my friend. Regardless of what you
may think of him personally, I'd rather not see any more unfounded comments
made about him.

I used to talk to Nixtr on IRC. I'm shocked by the
kiddie porn, but not the anti-abortion part. He
reminded me of Dale, Hank's paranoid friend on
King of the Hill. I wouldn't put anything past him.
I read the Reuters article Suspsy found on AOL.

"...Morency's main objective was to intimidate
abortion providers and patients by advertising his
Web site on a Planned Parenthood bulletin board
and an Internet newsgroup frequented by abortion-rights supporters, federal
officials said. ...

When investigators examined his computer, they also
found CD-ROMS containing numerous sexual images
of pre-pubescent children. Some showed children
being subjected to sexual violence, officials said.

The intimidation charge carries a maximum penalty
of one year in prison and the pornography charge five
years. "

I guess he drifted away from ATT and got into other newsgroups like
alt.toys.pedophile.paraphernalia.
Wasn't Nick getting married? I wonder if his fiancee
knew about his other hobbies.

I don't think that non-AOLers are able to access that article, Suspsy. I
suppose I could cut and paste it here, if only to head off any more
unsubstantiated comments...


Anti-abortion man keeps child pornography in U.S.

CAMDEN, N.J. (Reuters) - A New Jersey man admitted in court Friday that he
collected pornographic images of children at the same time he was offering $1.5
million over the Internet for the murder of any abortion provider.

Nicholas Morency, 30, an Atlantic City casino employee, faces up to six years
in prison and $350,000 in fines after pleading guilty in a U.S. district court
to charges of intimidation -- related to the Internet offer -- and child
pornography, federal officials said. He will be sentenced June 22.

In 1999, Morency, from Villas, New Jersey, used his home computer to set up a
Web site that offered anyone $1.5 million to kill an abortion provider. It even
mentioned an abortion doctor in another state as a potential target. The
physician was identified in court documents only as "GT."

Federal investigators say Morency did not have such a sum of money and
concluded that no one was ever injured as a result of his actions.

"But it's like yelling fire in a crowded theater. You just don't do it," said
assistant U.S. Attorney William Hughes.

Morency's main objective was to intimidate abortion providers and patients by
advertising his Web site on a Planned Parenthood bulletin board and an Internet
newsgroup frequented by abortion-rights supporters, federal officials said.

The FBI shut down the Web site a few days after receiving a complaint from
Planned Parenthood in Washington.

In the 1990s, there were a spate of highly-publicized attacks in the United
States on abortion providers.

A federal public defender declined to comment when asked if Morency belonged to
a religious group or any other organization actively opposed to abortion.

When investigators examined his computer, they also found CD-ROMS containing
numerous sexual images of pre-pubescent children. Some showed children being
subjected to sexual violence, officials said.

The intimidation charge carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison and the
pornography charge five years.

</transcript>

I admit that the bounty on the physician was an exercise in poor judgment, even
though I'm sure Nixtr didn't expect anyone to take it seriously. (I know I've
told Walky I was going to kill him once. I think M Sipher said he was going to
kill me at one point. I guess the difference is that we didn't hit on a
nationally sensitive subject.)

Regarding the pornography charge, as far as I'm concerned, what he does in the
privacy of his own home is his business, as long as he's not hurting anyone.
(I think my wife and I commit at least one illegal act every week. This is
Utah, after all.)

And quite frankly, it strikes me as odd that looking at a few photos is
apparently a much more severe crime than advocating murder. But anyway.

How do you know those TEENAGE SLUTS are really ILLEGAL? Maybe they're
only saying they are to boost their ratings. "It says it's illegal! That
means it MUST be good! Hrm heh hrm heh..."

Bogus sales-pitches don't count. I find it impossible to believe that following
whatever link a spammer would provide would actually lead you to illegal, felonious
material. None of them would last long if that was how they operated.

C'mon, Zob... "Lethal Weapon" is fiction, not snuff. Legitimate child-pornography
is by definition abusive, and one could easily argue that every time it is
transacted it constitutes another violation of the victim's personal life and
privacy.

I agree that child pornography is abusive, but how is that "by
definition"? The fact is that children can't be subjected to sexual
relations like adults can, but that is a de facto restriction, not a de

abusive we may end having to forbid adult pornography also.

Sorry to say that "lolita" porn is far too easy to find. Remember that
some countries have no laws against such things, or at least are lax in
enforcing them. I've gone to a site that turns out to be a porno site (just
type the name of any female celeberty, no matter how limited her star
status, and at least one will sneak in there) and there are links to those
sites. Porno sites are far too rampant on the internet, and what shows up is
far too easy to get. Even if you're not looking for it.

It's sad this all happened. The last time I saw Nixtr's name mentioned on
here was after he called into the Rush Limbaugh Show and asked Rush his
opinions of The Patriot. "Major Transformer-collecting dittos" I believe it
was. The face you show to your friends and the face you show at home are
almost always different, but I can not beileve Nick's was this different!
Not much more can be said about the whole thing. What he did was wrong! No
two ways around that. Hopefully he will get help for his problems.

I agree that calling for a hitman and collecting kiddie porn is wrong. I
also remember a guy who was winning against I believe cancer, and how we
were all in support of him. I wonder what all this is doing to his wife. I'm
just not ready to judge this guy based on this, because as Phil Collins once
sang, "we always need to hear both sides of the story".

Uh, yeah, and you could fight that in court if that's what they were
charging
you on. You wouldn't just say "Guilty", would you? And I'm not talking
about
so-called TEENZ who look more like a bunch of 30 year olds in ponytails and

Viewing this kind of material is supporting it.

Fiction and reality, Zob. Fiction: Lethal Weapon. Reality: Little kids
being exploited for sexual purposes. Your argument would hold water if say,
Lethal Weapon was a snuff film.

Well considering there is a larger track record of Abortion Providers being
murdered by right wing lunatics, than there are television writers being
killed by avid fanboys. I would say that lil' Nixtr's actions would be taken
far more seriously as it seems there was actual malicious intent involved
than that of some stupid immature kids pissed about their favorite tv show.
As for the kiddie porn, evidence of such pictures being on one's computer
does not automatically constitute the individual as a child molestor.
Nonetheless having such pictures of violent sexual actions performed on
children for entertainment purposes does make the individual guilty of
supporting such actions, which could be deemed just as morally wrong as
comitting the action itself. I for one hope they give the stupid schmuck the
maximum penalty.

Speaking of good ol' Nix, here's a link that a friend provided me. It's
Nix's court papers.

http://news.findlaw.com/cnn/docs/morency/usvmorencyplea.pdf

To quote my good ol' pal, "I can't believe this shit is on the internet."

(By the way, it's confirmed on page six: he possessed pornography of
children under the age of 12. So anyone thinking he was just looking at 16
and 17 year olds, think again.)

He had CD-Roms full of material containing child pornography _and_ sexually
abusive/violent acts committed on children. He may not have been a molester

Zob, while I think it's admirable that you're standing up for your friend, I
don't think you can possibly compare anything you and Laurie have indulged in
to possessing child porn. (Unless you're in possession of some yourself, though
I highly doubt it) And regarding your comment in another post about constantly
receiving spam ads for "Illegal Nekkid Girlz," I get junk like that all the
time too, and I delete it right away. I'd hardly call that comparable to
amassing a collection of child porn images on CD-ROM though. I realise Nixtr's
your friend, but what he's done is very, very, VERY wrong, in every sense of
the word.

<< And quite frankly, it strikes me as odd that looking at a few photos is

You've got a family Zob. What if (and I know you don't want to hear this) some
monster did something like this to one of your relatives? I have several young
cousins who I all love dearly, and if any of them were subjected to such
horrible acts of cruelty and indecency, I'd want to clamp my hands around the
perpetrator's neck and snap it like an icicle. I think you'd want to do the
same.

"A few photos" is an unsuitable description for child pornography. Indeed, I
can think of little else as comtemptible, as degrading, as disgusting, or as
WRONG. It's wrong in every sense of the word, to repeat myself. We're not
talking about +18-year old girls who _choose_ to participate; we're talking
about innocent children who are _forced_ to participate, and will likely suffer
trauma for the rest of their lives. Just the thought of it makes me sick.

Look, I obviously don't know Nixtr as well as you do, so I suppose it's easy
for me to talk about what he's done this way. I just want you to consider
carefully all the implications of what he's done before you continue to defend
him. His transgressions don't necessarily mean he's an evil person, but he
still needs to answer for them.

Bottom line, the person I feel the most sympathy for right now is Nixtr's wife.

Same here. He and his fiancee had someone take a picture of them with myself and

Whoah, whoah, whoah. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Besides: if there were no incest or rape victims, there would still be
abortions. It's the old anti-gun argument: if we get rid of all the guns,
there'll still be knives, nooses, poison, bombs . . . heck, even bare
hands.

The only way to get rid of a bad thing is to teach people to not do that
bad thing.

This is one of the more irresponsible statements I've ever heard. Nobody
was murdered in order to make "Lethal Weapon". You've always seemed
to be a reasonably intelligent person, so I assume that you know this.
Movies
aren't real.

However, in order to have a picture of a dirty old man fucking a ten year
old,
it i necessary for said man to rape said ten year old. There is a
signifigant
moral difference between supporting counterfeited immoral acts, and
supporting actual immoral acts. I realize that Morency is a friend of
yours,
and I am sorry that you are having to deal with this, but that does not in
any
way excuse the man's actions.

I'm not saying he shouldn't be punished for what he *has* done. There is no
reason for people to make baseless accusations about him molesting children,
though. Maybe I'm the only one here able to make the distinction, but looking
at pictures of children is not the same as touching them, and he was not
charged with molesting anybody. If I listen to music with lyrics about raping
women, does that automatically mean I am a rapist? Or does it just mean I have
questionable taste in music?

I realize that Nick has some controversial political views, and apparently
there are a few people here who aren't fond of him personally. I don't want to
get into any arguments with people here whom I like and respect, so I think I'm
going to be staying out of this thread entirely from now on.

Doesn't it? A lot of kids have access to guns, and in fact are *trained
in their use* . . . and don't use them to kill *people* except in self-
defense.

>Oh yeah, I forgot. Guns dont kill
>people, people kill people. Isnt that what they say?

Well, in most cases, it's the *bullets* that kill people . . .

There's a lot of truth to the "people kill people" thing though. Just not
all of the truth.

Very ineffective. Big bombs never hit ground, if they did, half their explosive
force is driven into ground instead of enemy. Bombs blow up a few hundred feet
up, then explosive fire rains down over a large area.

Before altimiters, hampster-wheels were used to determine the proper place in
the air for a bomb to blow up.

Know your implements of destruction, you will need them someday.

Well there still are quite a few people trained in their use and still use
them to kill people in a terroristic manner. Just because someone is trained
in the use of a firearm doesnt mean they always have good intentions.
Problem is that over the years people have perversed the second amendment so
much, making it sound like any joe schmo has the legal right to own his own
personal armory of assault weapons. King George isnt gonna be breaking down
your door anytime soon. The United States is such a joke to the global
community.
Im just getting sick of hearing "Well if guns were banned, then only the
criminals would have guns." Thats such tired conservative rhetoric, with no
actual basis to it. If I remember correctly Britain banned firearms and they
arent being overrun by criminals packing massive firepower.

You mean like on those school masacres?!?

eg.

Kid #1: "Hey d00ds! I've got a gun! Now I'm going to take revenge on all
of you assholes for calling me a moron..."
Kid #2: "Your kidding..."

*BLAM*

Kid #1: "No , I was not asshole!"
Kid #2: "Argh..." <dies>

Kid #3: "HE HAS A GUUUUUNNN!!!!"

*BLAMBLAMBLAM*

<bloodbath>

Cop #1: "Hey, you! why did you do that! Drop the gun!"
Kid #1: "It was self-defense,"
Cop #2: "He's right. It was self-defense. We have to let him go..."

Does this sound right? No, it doesn't.

Aaron, this is what you're advocating right now. I wonder how many parents
of kids who have been killed by some local nut kid would like to kill you
now...

is responsible for the other human's death.

The only difference here is that no women were raped to make the lyrics to that
song. Children had to be abused to make these pictures, unless someone's got some
great skills with Photoshop.

You know what? Terrorists and wackos don't count.

Terrorists do the things they do for some kind of gain, either Ideological,
monetary, or other.

And wackos... well, it's our own fault for being a society that tolerates such
things. "They're sick, they need help!" No, they're sick, put them out of their
misery.

There's so much focus on individual rights that society as a whole is taking a
beating. Geez. But the American government was so damn scared of communism that
the mere thought of doing anything in that direction is avoided like the plague.

As long as the government keeps babying the population, thing'll get worse.
Children have parents for a reason.

You know what else? Britain is a much more mature society that that in North
America has been in over 5 decades. That's why it works there.

There is a big difference in this case. Actual minors were involved to
create
this material, which is one fo the reason why possession of kiddy porn
carries
such high penelties. I will repeat this again, actual kids were molested to
make these cd-roms that he owned. there by owning them, he is surporting
child molestation and is enncouraging more. When he finally leaves prison,
he
will also fall under laws that notify communities of sex offenders against
minors. NJ is pretty strict about such things.

Not to mention he entered a plea bargin agrement. According to the law he
flat out admited his guilt to make sure he did not get a more severe
sentance,
and the outcome was that he is still being sent away for a good ammount of
time.

Honestly could not care either way on his views. The fact that kids were
hurt
and tramuatized for his sick perversion is what angers me, and is flat out
inexcusable. This not a recent thing either, since accoridng to the court
records, now part of public knowledge, he admited to doing this from at
least
1998.

Inneffective? But craters are cool! All those pathetic insects(blegh!) that

No, no, no, Tyme. Salon.com is one of the few internet-only magazines that
actually garners a modicum of respect from traditional media outlets. You
can draw many more parallels between them and the New York Times Magazine
than you can The Onion. (Yes, The Onion does have a print edition, but
damned if I can find a copy at my local news stand.) :)

This is very real and very serious. Somewhere in this thread there's a link
to the actual court papers where he plead guilty to all charges.

I think his point was watching movies of people murdering doesn't make

The problem is all we know is that he had child pornography. Playboy is
considered pornography, but from what I know (which is very little--even
back when I wasn't as against it as I am today (puberty sucks)) I don't
recall it having pictures of sex; just naked women. As far as we know, all
he had was nude kids who were talked into various poses. Which is not
exactly a good thing, but it means the kids weren't raped. Not physically,
anyway, though I'm sure this may have an effect emotionally. A bit
technical, but like the great bard wrote, "if we're going to be damned,
let's be damned for who we really are". (And don't ask me which bard--I got
it from the pilot ep. of Star Trek:The Next Generation.)

> I realize that Morency is a friend of yours, and I am sorry that you

Oh, believe me, I'm not supporting his actions in any way, shape, or
form. I'm a conservative Christian who is opposed to abortion, but I don't
support what amounts to hiring a hitman. I also don't favor kiddie porn
(free speech my @$$!), and think pedophiles need serious help. However, I
also follow the addage "judge not lest ye be judged". His actions are
morally wrong--I'd even say apprehensible. But I think Zob should be given
some credit for standing behind his friend. Nixtr--and his wife, who must be
having a tough time of her own) could use some support. And perhaps some
therapy or time with his pastor/the Lord. Hate the sin, not the sinners.
(Although some guys make that difficult.)

[snip]

Ahh, but I believe the point is, regardless of what causes a person to
commit an act of murder, the victim can only be killed once. When it comes
to kiddie porn, *every* single person who receives some sort of pleasure
from that child's photo is molesting that child over and over again.

If you shot me in the head, hey, go ahead and slice my fingers off while you
are at it. Burn and stab me too, what difference does it make, I'm dead, I
don't have to live with the pain thereafter, wherein a child who is abused
in this manner relives this abuse day to day for the rest of their lives.

I feel sorry for you Zob, but the fact is that Nixtr did something wrong,
and really should be punished, and most severely. The fact that he did own
child pornography and it seems an abundant amount of it, clearly means that
he enjoyed it, and might potentially indulge himself. We aren't talking
about the "Illegal Girlz... you can't find this $#!+, anywhere else!!!"
we're talking about small children, being abused for a group of sick
individuals pleasure. You have small children yourself, and I can hardly
believe you'd try to defend him. Honestly, he'll be lucky if he makes it
the 6 or so years that he's going to get. Prisoners don't take kindly to
child molesters, and i'd doubt they'll care if Nixtr didn't actually do
anything but get off to child porn. He'll most likely get beat every day of
his sentence.

Get this straight before proceeding folks, I'm not taking sides here.

That said...everyone seems to automatically assume it was *young* children. I
would ask everyone to keep in mind that in the USA, Child Pornography is
considered to be anything depicting children of ANY AGE UNDER 18 in sexual
poses or acts, be they hardcore of softcore. So even if all he had was CDs
full of pictures of 16 and 17 year olds, that would get him child porn charges.
I'm not going to debate the specifics of the case since I could care less
about this event or what he gets for doing what. Just making a note that seems
to have been forgotten.

Generally discounted, actually. It would be difficult to tell a sixteen or
seventeen year old "model" from an eighteen year old...or even older.
Oftentimes the only way you could tell is if they had a sign that says "I'm
underaged." Or unless there was documentation with the pornography. Why
would there be, though? What would make someone get off on seventeen year
olds instead of eighteen year olds? The thrill of breaking the law? I don't
buy it.

Again, it's not like he only had one picture in his cache--which could be in
there by mistake--he had CD-ROMs full of the stuff. The paperwork said it
had been delivered through interstate commerce (does it mention the web?) I
don't see why someone would go out of their way to get nudie pictures (or,
more likely, hardcore porn) of sixteen or seventeen year olds when legal
images could easily have been substituted.

The "actual basis" is the fact that most criminals with guns have stolen
guns.

But banning guns solves only one problem: fewer deaths by gunshot
wound. There will still be deaths. That's all I was saying.

a) Those school shootings are flukes, statistically speaking.

b) Those school shootings are often pulled off by children who "have
issues." My whole point is that more responsible parenting will get rid
of a lot of the problems in our (human, not United States) society.

I mean, *I* was never trained in the use of guns: my dad used to
hunt, though, and he taught me to respect and appreciate what a gun
can do. If I have kids, I don't know if I'll train them in the use of guns
or not, but I *will* teach them the same way I was.

Behind on the thread again Sidecutter, this is taken from Zobs message above
:

****When investigators examined his computer, they also found CD-ROMS
containing
numerous sexual images of pre-pubescent children. Some showed children being
subjected to sexual violence, officials said. *****


You know what Pre-Pubescent means, so there isn't a need to bother with that
one, and I think everyone is clear on the last sentence as well. Nick had
small child porn, and even some that showed sexually explicit acts. In
other words, little kids getting raped while being photographed.

We're not assuming. The Reuters article, which was posted by Zob yesterday,
clearly states that the material was strictly pre-pubescent children, some of whom
were obviously the recipients of, quote, "sexual violence".

So much for ambiguity.

Bwahhhh. Not anymore. Not is young punks who saw Columbine on TV and said
"Heeeeeeeey...if I shoot up my school, I'll be famous! Everyone in the country
will hear about me and see me on TV! Instant star!". They don't have any

I wish that were the case. A few other people in this thread have posted
links
to the Reuters article and to the plea bargain itself, which make it clear
that
the victims were shown being subjected to "sexual violence".

Right, and I understand that. I simply wanted to make it clear that even in
the
course of supporting a friend, it is utterly irresponsible to defend actions
such as these.

The media is to blame. Every station had live coverage of every angle to be
had of Columbine. We got to see people running, bloody kids sliding out
windows leaving red trails behind them. Not only was it covered, it was
hyped. We heard about that damn shooting for no less than 3 to 4 months...

There are some things the people shouldn't know. Take the Vietnam War,
the first war to be truly televised. They showed on the news people getting
shot, houses being torched, and it made the US vets look like bad guys.
What the hell did people think war was? Did they automatically assume that
in WW2 we went over and had tea and cookies with the Nazi's?

I remember some operation in Desert Storm (or Shield) where a covert team
was going to land on a beach and go in and attack. When they pulled up to
the beach, lights flashed on and there was CNN waiting for them.


Zepherimus
Now, call it evil, but I'd have ordered them to be shot, and the mission
would go as planned.

Well, considering the amount of people in some countries who have the

True. Also, abortion is one of the most traumatic experiences women can
face. I doubt the vast majority of women who have abortions actually enjoy
the fact that a helpless foestus is surgically removed from their womb and
incinerated.

I don't like the idea of abortion myself, but I do think it should be
available for women who need it. Especially without the fear of
intimidation or harm from people who oppose abortion.

Tell that to the various "pro-life" militants in America who kill people
in the name of their beliefs. That seems very wrong to my set of values;
enforcing a set of views in such an extreme way.

Well, guns do make killing easier (but I won't get into that argument
here). The American gun debate is a totally vicious circle, really.

That approach isn't very effective. If it was, crime and deviancy
whouldn't exist in any civilised culture...

So I am. Why should hating abortion be only allowed to Christians? And
another thing I hate is lumping abortion and contraception together.
The majority of Christians are either against both, or for both. What's
wrong with being against abortion and for contraception, like me?

The pain suffered by the woman (both physical and sentimental) is an
issue that must be taken into account, yes, but the thing that I think
is the most important is the child itself. It has done nothing wrong.
Did it ask to be born? Did it ask its mother to be raped, or incested?
No it bloody well didn't.

Suuuure, they're trained that way, but it unfortunately doesnt end up that
way. Its just a proven fact that a kid is far more likely to shoot their
older brother sneaking in at night than they are to shoot a burglar.

So you're saying its the fault of the parents?
Say someone has three children. One turns out to be a lawyer, another a
doctor, and the other a murderer. Does that make them bad parents?
Or is your solution to have Eddie The Eagle make rounds at schools?

If firearms are banned where do you plan for them to steal them from.
Smugglers maybe?
Its a fact that many violent crimes with guns are comitted by repeat
offenders. Thats because of the lack of logical background checks and
waiting periods that you gun nuts are so paranoid of. If we had such
background checks there would be nothing to fear of a law abiding citizen or
sportsman who wished to own a firearm. But even that is unacceptable by the
Republican hard liners and the NRA.

Significantly less deaths. 64% of all murders in the United States in 1998
were comitted with a firearm. There will be murder, but how easy is it for a
kid to slaughter 25 classmates with a large blade. Guns make killing far
easier and more efficient.

But no one has the right to tell a woman what to do with HER body. In the
event of rape or incest that woman had her body violated and such a
pregnancy is a product of that violation. As unpleasant as Abortion may be,
its up to the individual who is having it done, not some bigwig politician.
