        Re: Laws about sex.... (was something else) —Duane Hess

   (...) Yes Look if someone has convictions for bomb making and you find a fake plan of a bombing campaign in his home, your gonna put 2 and 2 together and put him away.

        Re: Laws about sex.... (was something else) —Tom Stangl
   (...) No, actually, you're not. At least, you shouldn't. If they're fiction, they have no base for a nonfictional case against you.

         Change of direction —Steve Lane
     (...) I can't beleive your more scared of me! When we're you intending to run into me? you've already acknowledged I live in a different country.

        Re: Laws about sex.... (was something else) —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) True. This in fact appears to be true of all governments, no matter whether they start out just and democratic or not.
