When FBI supervisors in Miami met with new interim U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta last month, they wondered what the top enforcement priority for Acosta and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales would be. Would it be terrorism? Organized crime? Narcotics trafficking? Immigration? Or maybe public corruption? The agents were stunned to learn that a top prosecutorial priority of Acosta and the Department of Justice was none of the above. Instead, Acosta told them, it's obscenity. Not pornography involving children, but pornographic material featuring consenting adults. Acosta's stated goal of prosecuting distributors of adult porn has angered federal and local law enforcement officials, as well as prosecutors in his own office. They say there are far more important issues in a high-crime area like South Florida, which is an international hub at risk for terrorism, money laundering and other dangerous activities. His own prosecutors have warned Acosta that prioritizing adult porn would reduce resources for prosecuting other crimes, including porn involving children. According to high-level sources who did not want to be identified, Acosta has assigned prosecutors porn cases over their objections.
Speechless... [ But he's doing it *for* the children. Right? To keep it from them? Or is it Jesus? Was Jesus anti-pr0n? Before or after the thing with the prostitute? I say he's guilty of misuse of public money already and should be prosceuted himself. -k] |

It was Jesus. Was Jesus anti-pr0n? Before or after the thing with the prostitute?
Excuse my apparent ignorance but WHAT thing with the prostitute? I say he's guilty of misuse of public money already and should be prosceuted himself.
Jesus is guily of misuse of public money? The dude has been dead for a while. I'm not too concerned about Roman tax fraud, anyway... |

I like Dan Brown's take on this. Jesus was married (like any good Rabbi would be) and the church turned Mary Magdeline into a hooker to put women in their place. Frankly, stop going after porn, decriminalize drugs, free up some space in the jails, and put the violent (Eric Rudolph, Jeffy Dahmer, Ted Bundy) and mass property crime guys (Ken Lay, Bernie "What do you mean 25 years?" Ebbers, Dennis Kozlowski) in jail for long periods based on their damage to society. Stop trying to screw with my pr0n supply! Remember, guns don't kill people, bullets do. |

It was Jesus.
Its always Jesus. Anytime someone does something to impose limits on your liberties its almost always done in Jesus's name. Its a genuine shame. As religious figures go, Jesus is downright k-rad. Don't let the fundamentalists get you down.. Remember the words of the man himself to Saul as documented in Acts 9:5-6: "And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do." I often recall that verse for inspiration when I'm kicking against the pricks. It reminds me that I simply shouldn't give a shit. Given the full context of this verse, it does not bode well for those trying to limit our rights to download porno and whack-off freely. Excuse my apparent ignorance but WHAT thing with the prostitute?
Go back to Canada you secular swine! Everyone knows that Jesus's number one gal was a prostitute! |

Well, I certainly learned a lot from this post. From analysis of Jonny Cash Lyrics to where to find good porn; it runs the gammut. I must say, however, that saving a prostitute from stoning is hardly an endorsement of porn so much as its a statement against killing people (Ehm, PAT ROBERTSON). And the implication of a sexual relationship... I mean since when is The DaVinci Code considered a historical text? Elonka?! |
