Write your reply.

assistant: No. Kiddie porn is a sexual exploitation of a child many times accompanied by
physical or psychological force. There is no freedom of speech associated
with murder, rape, kiddie porn, child molestation, or other crimes of this
nature. You don't really think that you can get by with committing a crime
under the guise of freedom of speech, do you? If you are talking about
writing rather than acts and photographs, there would be some argument. If
you are talking about writing, we are talking about two different things.
I don't think it would float, do you? I think it would go just about as far
as claiming cannibalism as a portion of your religion. <g>
ot
If you are talking about photographs, that would simply be evidence of the
crime. I really hadn't even thought about talking or writing, rather acts &
pornographic materials. I don't think that talking and writing came up until
now. There would be some argument with talking and writing, but you are the
first to mention these. The discussion regarded acts and child pornography.
By the way, simple writing in many places is illegal. Just thoughts for
discussion.

with a device designed to kill large numbers of people. "Reckless
endangerment" is one of the terms which might apply here. There are other
legal issues, and all of the circumstances would be investigated. I'm not

on't.
You indicated it by stating that the only people who should have
access to plans on how to build a bomb would either be military
(federal or state government) or bomb squads (local, state or federal
law enforcment).
Then why would you want no one in the public to know how to make a
bomb?  Today's public may become tomorrow's soldiers.
I will look for it.

The major difference between a nuclear bomb and a nuclear power source

I'll admit, they were wrong and I personally appologize.  Let me explain
myself.  Truly, nobody here really knows who you are because you sheild
yourself so much.  It's like you're afraid or something.  You're like the
phantom that comes and goes as he wishes but nobody knows who you are.  When
you addressed me as "Sonny", I got angry but remained relatively calm.  When
you continued to talk down and attack me, I fought back.  When I saw blood so
to speak, I didn't stop.  It was wrong, and I'm sorry.
Now I appologized, but I must say something.  For someone who is a Christian,
"unforgivable", is an interesting term.  What have you done with people in
the past that was quote unquote, "unforgivable"  I know I've done many, and
even though the enemy (Satan) tries to fool my heart and actually succeeds at
times, I know God has forgiven me.  But, we are expected to return the favor
to others.
I was wrong, but make no mistake, I nkew exactly what I was responding to on
every post, including the suicide one.  Whether you were kidding around with
me or not, I made it very clear I don't take suicide as a joke at all.  You
knew how I would take it.
        Look, I'm sorry.  Whether you believe me or not I'm sorry.  You want
to be a bitter old man about it, go for it.  I forgive what you've done wrong
in this conflict, and now under obligation of the scriptures you profess to
believe, whether you want to or not, you must forgive me.
Peace.
