Kids, this is what happens when you watch Equilibrium and smoke up while streaming Alex Jones.

:lol I actually assumed he watched Manufacturing Consent and toked up while streaming Chomsky

No one direct them to A Game of Thrones, we have to protect George R. R. Martin with our lives!

It's freedom of fucking speech. Jesus, what's with some of you? We're not defending the content, we're defending the right to free thought. Unpublished fiction should not be a punishable crime. That's a horrible precedent to set.

Do people think the ACLU is full of bigots just because they sometimes defend the acts of bigots? No. They are defending civil liberties, not the vile and reprehensible behavior of the defendant. PEACE.

Exactly.
Unfortunately a lot of people will freak over the pedophilia aspect and let the terrible precedent it is setting go unnoticed.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Only in Canada, land of socialism freedom in bags.

Fixed.

 

[Chichikov]

This is the worst book I've ever read, btw. Ever. Just a steaming pile of shit.

Can't let such nonsense terrible opinion go unchallenged.
Lolita is one of the greatest book ever written and will make any personal top whatever list (if I ever did one).

I can't help but think that if it was an elder woman writing about a love relationship with a teen boy that this would have been a non-issue.

Sexual intercourse and gender roles are not symmetrical, news at 11.

Canada had an age of consent of 14 years old for the longest time... they changed it to 16 a few years ago... they're just overcompensating so they don't seem like haven for pedo/hebe's.

 

[Freshmaker]

Not exactly sure what you're trying to say here. Is this like "if that black guy didn't try to drink from the water fountain, he wouldn't have been lynched"?

Along the same lines. Do something risky, you abrogate your right to be risk free or something.

 

[Vercingetorix]

I think if there's one thing that everyone can agree on in this thread is that Canada blows and Canadians are a little bit crazy.

Joke, right? I'm pretty sure that Canada has shown up higher on the UN living conditions list than wherever you're from ever has or ever will.

At least we don't have thought crime.

 

[xelios]

*resists the urge to add something about baby seals*

 

[Son of Godzilla]

So what happens if someone does an Aristocrats joke in Canada?

 

[Vercingetorix]

At least we don't have thought crime.

Sure, you don't have thought crime....yet! Muahhahaha.

Canada is a progressive world leader, surely other Western nations will follow our example.

Oh, and as for the baby seals, if we didn't do that the polar bears population would spiral out of control.

And then Americans living on the border would be seeing this around Christmas time!

Oh look at the cute bear cub, its like Knut...wait, why is it covered in blood?

Ok, I see what's happening now. I was worried for a minute there.

So what happens if someone does an Aristocrats joke in Canada?

I for one am willing to send Bob Saget up there to find out.

 

[xelios]

Oh, and as for the baby seals...

I was just kidding. I love my Canadian friends.

 

[MIMIC]

Not that I'm defending child pornography or anything, but WRITING about it is punishable? That's fucking ridiculous.

You can write about rape, murder, incest, drug use, arson, assault, etc.....but child pornography is the illegal one?

 

[Kettch]

No one direct them to A Game of Thrones, we have to protect George R. R. Martin with our lives!

That was my first thought. Is the book outlawed in Canada or something?

 

[Agnostic]

I just sent an email to the Government of Canada. I also plan on sending postage mail this week to their Senate. This is Bullshit!

I never thought that I would be supporting a man associated with child pornography.

 

[PflargBlarg]

Joke, right? I'm pretty sure that Canada has shown up higher on the UN living conditions list than wherever you're from ever has or ever will.

You've sure been defensive of Canada in this thread my man. There is nothing to defend here, it's an absolutely ridiculous law and it's one of the few things I hate about living in Canada. I would be ecstatic if we got the same freedom of speech laws as the US.

Canadians and Americans take cracks at each other all the time. Live it, learn it, love it.

AMERICA SUCKS.

Except it isn't. They were stories involving teens having sex. Aren't bookstores and libraries filled with stories involving teen sex? This case is beyond ridiculous.

 

[Always-honest]

after reading it:

this IS ridiculous. i'm quite protective when it comes to kids and wouldn't mind if all pedophiles died instantly. That beiing said, this guy just wrote about stuff..
