Well we don't know all the facts now do we?  and there is absolutely nothing wrong with a little discussion, in my personal opinion. I've also taken the liberty of highlighting the most important portion of your rant...

You're most likely right, and it will come down to whether or not a reasonable person would say the models are of age.  And chances are he was looking at kids, but we don't know.  If it was little kids then good riddence. 

While they may advertise that, doesn't mean that all porn on the internet came from professional "Studios", just look at a place like xtube, I've never posted anything on there so I can't say for certain, but I highly doubt the owners of that site go to your home and make sure they have a look...

I can pretty much guarantee that anyone who has seen internet porn has at one point or another has unknowingly stumbled across images of what could be classified as child porn (ie: models who weren't quite 18), does that make everyone a criminal? 

Actually my point was that it is quite easy to come across porn of 17 year olds on the internet, which is where the excusable part comes in.  Now of course if he had something like 5000 images of girls who clearly looked below the age of 18 then yeah that's a different story.  Another would be...

Now I wonder if this was child porn in the sense it was little kids, or if it was "child" porn of 17 year olds. The former is inexcusable, the later, I don't know.   

It's just his lawyer doing what he is supposed to do, looking for an trying any avenue that may prevent his client from being executed.  It's an interesting argument, to say the least.  

Just looking at the stats one thing pops out at me, for the stats listed each country (Canada vs US) has their own description of what it is.  We group rape in with sexual assault, whereas the US doesn't, same goes for general assault so that's definitely going to skew the numbers. Though one...

I don't believe it would have saved this individuals life as this was, most likely, the act of a mad man, who from accounts in MSM turned suddenly towards the person next to him and stabbed repeatedly and violently with a large enough knife that allowed him to decapitate the victim.  You may...

So that's the reason why US states with CCW laws have crime rate of zero..... It's entirely possible that the attacker wanted to be killed that evening... suicide by cop perhaps? There are many variables.  Personally I don't know if CCW laws would have averted this tragedy, I just don't think...

From the media reports it soundes like the attacker was sitting beside the victim and just attacked.  I highly doubt anyone in the bus knew this was going to happen and I highly doubt anyone would have been able to shoot the guy before the deed was done. 

Just because you have training doesn't mean everyone does.  And just because some may have the training, it doesn't mean they're proficient.   It's a guess, and it's tainted by the fact that part of me doesn't want to think that a person is capable of doing such a heinous crime just for fun...

Concealed Carry wouldn't have stopped this incident from happening.  It probably would have made the situation worse, as I highly doubt most people would be able to fire off anything close to accurate on a dark moving bus that was full of scared people.  My guess based on what's been written...

Currently i'm reading Kurt Vonnegut's Mother Night.  before it I read Alan Weisman's The World Without Us which I found to be quite interesting. Next?  I'm not really sure. 

Made a minor correction.  I think this parliament is going to go the distance, and will be disolved sometime in October of 2009.

They haven't released the schedule yet, but i'm guessing it'll be early to mid january.  Absolute latest would be early February.

Seriously?  I remember having it once and not being too impressed.  Oddly enough the same things happen to me when I drink beer, weird eh?

I remember back in 2001 (i believe) CC came out with premixed 350 mL bottles of CC & Ginger (they marketed it as CC&G) but I haven't seen it since.
