The law deems him as having downloaded them, and indeed having "made" them therefore. But clearly that is a fictional construct. His life was ruined anyway so seems like sufficient punishment .

Yah some of the pics were of younger kids, but the law deeming that he "made" these pictures because he downloaded them is obviously a nonsense. He downloaded something he should not have, but the sentence here is sufficient for effectively dowloading something prohibited. That is all that happened.

We were, but I think you are on the right track that there is no evidence the perp here is a paedophile, there is a world of difference between committing paedophilia and looking at pics of 14 to 16 year olds.. In any event the lenient sentence reflects this.

Well, he is right, we have a member on here who got vaccinated and got covid. And the pandemic did not stop due to vaccines.

Well said.

Oh I see, apologies, that is different. I thought you were saying child porn causes pedophilia, you got it the right way round, pedophilia causes child porn. I agree with that.

What I do not get is why they would even look at child porn. However, any causal link between pornography and crime is a myth. Serial killers like to watch porn. So many postulated a linke between serial killing and porn. In reality however 93 percent of adults watch porn, and the vast majority do not become serial killers or paedophiles. People who are like that are already predisposed. Of course a pedophile would enjoy child porn. Most normal people would not and could watch child porn for hours and would never touch a child. Because it does nothing for them.

There is no such link of course.

I was not the one who was saying talking about your convictions makes you an idiot, that was one of your guys. I was just pointing out that Kamala Harris is doing exactly the same.

They already have that dominion, they can ensure they do not get pregnant.

Very true. If there were another pandemic Kamala Harris would make everyone wear masks and lock them up at home like they did the last time. Out of fear. The left has no courage for liberty. Cowards to a man, though few men among them.

You mean like Kamala is talking to women about abortion, even though she already has women voters who want abortion voting for her? Lol.

However he does it, he needs to do it, it is the top priority by far. The US is dangerously close to a hot conflict with Russia, here the only option is Trump ending the conflict. Harris would actually make it worse and more likely a hot conflict happens. Which could be a disaster for the world.

I bought 7g of Gamberry, THC 23%, for 500 Baht from the Ganja Witch store in Gamberry Cafe. It normally sells for 500 Baht for 2 g, but the lady there likes me for some reason.

You can argue forever how tax dollars should be spent, but in the end billions of dollars are allocated every year to alleviate housing issues in the US. Literally billions of dollars in social welfare are available. If there are homeless then those in charge of distributing the aid are not doing a good enough job to make that aid arrive where it is needed.

What conspiracy are you on about, it is very obvious that the poverty brought on by the wealth destruction during Covid caused the spike in homeless.

Rather than provide nice words these people should be doing their job and get the homeless off the streets. Most do not want to be there, and it is sheer poverty that brought them to the streets.

It was the wealth destruction brought on by politicians during Covid "The COVID-19 pandemic, and associated economic downturn, housing shortages and housing price inflation, outpacing wage growth, and the end of government protections and assistance to counter the economic effects of COVID-19 -- along with the explosive growth in addictions to methamphetamine, opioids, and Fentanyl -- contributed to a sharp rise in homelessness in the early 2020s. By 2023, according to the federal survey, a record 653,104 homeless were identified in the annual federal survey -- a 12% jump over the previous year, quadruple any other year's increase, with increases in every category and demographic of homelessness." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness_in_the_United_States#:~:text=The main contributor to homelessness,a role in explaining homelessness. The homeless are not immigrants, and they are not caused by immigrants, they were caused by local politicians ruining people with their Covid policies.

Nice words are all very well, but NY is one of the places with record homelessness. Given that there are literally billions spent on welfare programs, including housing aid, why are there so many homeless in NY?

So why are people homeless in NY? It's an awful situation that can befall anyone through not fault of their own, it is crucial that there are safeguards to help families to get housing they need. It's not just about housing, that's just one part, then there's living expenses.. When people fall on hard times the state should be there to bail them out. This is the humane thing and given that BILLIONS of dollars of taxes are collected why are these homeless not housed and given sufficient funds to live?

That's wrong. The fund industry is regulated very heavily. Nor is investing gambling in the sense of throwing up dice hoping a six falls down.

There will be resistance to mass deportations but Trump has experience with the military disobeying his orders. Anyone who does so this time around has to be ready to vacate his job.

Powerline adapters would be better, you get the full fibre internet juice out of the power socket, plus wifi extension if you choose the right powerline adapter. Devolo make the best, but TP Link is also a viable option. You basically plug your routher's ethernet cable into an adapter and plug it into a power socket. Voila. Internet from every power socket in the house, you put in another adapter where you want it and you get wifi or ethernet right there.

Whilst you can trade XPT-USD it is not a hugely popular Forex pair, so the liquidity and volatility of Platinum is not great I suspect, and it is largely insulated from speculative excess. Unlike Gold, which is a major Forex Pair and one of the most popular FOREX pairs people love to trade.

Platinum is also used in fuel cell electric vehicles, also in hybrid cars. In addition platinum is used in medical equipment.
