Transcript:
A woman forced to act in child porn issuing hundreds of men arrest for possessing her images.(Police: A little gift from the process server.) Under the doctrine of joint and several liability, anyone who benefits from a crime can be held responsible for its full impact on its victim. (Woman: $3.8 million, perv man.) If successful, this tactic would set an important precedent: you could sue anyone who benefits from your exploitation! (Man: Because you paid too little for products made by my underpaying employer, you owe $600,000.) Unfortunately, it cuts both ways... (Woman: Hey tall white glib man. Is that one of my sweatshop t-shirts you're wearing?)

Sounds like something I’ve read before. The article was about websites that were hosting pictures of models. The FCC made a provision that all websites must prove that the model was over 18 especially if they were in swim suits. Needless to say that it scared some people into getting rid of their photos since they didn’t want the FCC crashing down on them. The FCC, what a joke.
B.T.W. don’t they jail those pervs for having those photos?

I am sure he has point — well maybe I like to think he has a point, but I do admire him for going where “No Cartoonist Has Gone Before!”

Oh it will be balanced out eventually. Let God be the judge.

How simple the world is for Scott! If only we’d had school prayer, nothing bad would have happened for the last fifty years.

It is sad to see the results of a mind ruled by superstitious nonsense.

Wow, scott, that’s some seriously twisted logic.
a) The Supreme Court discarded our judeo-christian heritage? How does one do that, exactly? Hw does a court case discard anybody’s heritage? And you don’t even say which one it was. But it must have been the early 1960s since one single court case suddenly turned a generation into protesting heathens who didn’t respect their elders, eh?
b) Per capita, this country was actually far more litigious in the early 1800s than it is now. True. There were more court cases per capita than there are now.
c) President Osama? Really? Whatever happened to “my President, right or wrong” that the Right was so fond of during Bush’s tenure? That suddenly flew out the window when Obama became prez, eh?
If you ask me, the problem with this country is lack of respect or compassion for your fellow man. Nothing to do with religion (although that respect and compassion is always paid at least lip service in most religions). And you, my dear scott, exemplify this lack of respect AND compassion in spades.

Could we please, please stop talking about our “Judeo-Christian heritage”? It’s an insult to the Jews.

Can we also please retire the term “G.O.P.”? Those guys don’t deserve a pet nickname that has nothing to do with present realities, certainly at least as long as their opponents don’t get the same treatment. I know it saves space in newspaper headlines, but so what?

School prayer? Which God to pray to? Which prayer? OK to use prayer rugs? If disagreements, beheadings OK? Heresy trials start up again? Hell for all except Baptists? Yeah, school prayer …right………..

Lower the countries bills and maybe there will be less crime (sueing), for little stuff like, “oh, I didn’t know the coffee in your cup was going to be hot when I spilled it on me, give me a million dollars.”
Companys charging higher prices, cops stopping citizens for speeding to make their quota to pay their paychecks increasing. Electricity going up, gas, cable, insurance, car payments, food, necessitys, clothing…It’s time for a uniersal pay raise or lower bills, preferrably both.
