a politician should really think before doing

[Dragon]

If they were thinking before doing anything, world would have been so much better. 
At least he apologized and resigned, something not heard of frequently in Polish politics.

This article really chaps my ass. It's so stupid law hypocritical politician bull**** that we've all seen, except maybe this is the dumbest story and like usual, they get off clean.

Indonesia needed a **** up like this to happen badly. I hope more of their politicians **** up. The anti-pornography law they talked about is ridiculous (all the way down to no kissing in public).

But, i guess these days if you're a muslim in indonesia, that seeking religious forgiveness and reciting the koran is all you got to do instead of taking responsibility and apologizing to the indonesian people. Yes, i know he resigned too, but even if he didn't, he'd still slide, seek religious forgiveness, and recite the koran.

[BlueFlames]

I'd say that more appropriate penance would be for him to fight to have his own law overturned by the courts (supposing that's possible in the Indonesian judicial system).

[Rodo]

He did what? and where?

just... lol.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

How does "seeking religious forgiveness and reciting the Koran" help?

[The E]

It doesn't. It might, however, appease the "burn the hypocrite at the stake" crowd.

Hypocrisy and political stupidity aside, if you actually use a tablet-thingy to look at porn, you're an idiot! So many things can go wrong, like it did here.

Read some marketing blurb somewhere that "looking at porn" appears to be indeed one of the most common purposes people use these new shiny tablets for

I mean figures, doesn't it? These new cheap Tablets without stylus or keyboard kinda suck for Office work and much of everything else LOL.

Okay, let's all step away from that particular conversation before the thread implodes.


OT: Maybe this guy was trying to push through such strict anti-pornography laws because he was a porn addict? You ever think of that? Huh? Maybe this Arifinto character is a victim of the lawless and cruel pornography lobby, undoubtedly the worst thing in history since Hitler, Pol Pot and Stalin had a threeway.

[Marcov]

Hold on...you think pornography is the worst thing since several million people died in a big-time massacre? Am I getting it right?

[The E]

Your sarcasm detector needs an overhaul. It's giving false negatives.

[Novalith]

wow this was pretty fail I gotta say xD

[Mefustae]

No sarcasm intended. Marcov is entirely correct. The holocaust was just peanuts compared to this.

Also, I are pant.

[Marcov]

I have a hard time believing that having several million human beings dying due to racism and lust of power would actually be dwarfed in terms of immorality by present-day pornography.

Unless, again, if The E is correct.

[Shivan Hunter]

you keep rolling 1's on your Detect Sarcasm roll marcov

[BlueFlames]

you keep rolling 1's on your Detect Sarcasm roll marcov

I think it's more that he's refusing to make the roll in the first place, which is an auto-fail.

[Mefustae]

No, guys! I'm serious!

[Marcov]

This is getting ridicolous....
