IsambardPrinceschestowitz-pi, Yeah, the only good thing about the market being down is you get to buy more while it's down.Mar 31 07:45

IsambardPrinceschestowitz-pi, The Lake County State's Attorney warned people he will pursue criminal charges over attempts to influence a voter, under Illinois law.Mar 31 07:52
IsambardPrinceI think it was meant as a warning to people like Musk and those super PACs.Mar 31 07:52

techtrights-sec6lack of general education since 1980 ...Mar 31 08:52
IsambardPrinceMeanwhile in 1981, the UK police were detaining and interrogating gay people for having sex.Mar 31 08:53
IsambardPrinceAnd had to be taken to the ECHR.Mar 31 08:53
IsambardPrinceThat law was legislatively repealed in Illinois in 1961.Mar 31 08:54
IsambardPrinceEurope isn't always ahead of us on these things.Mar 31 08:54
IsambardPrinceApparently someone over there thought that it was a fine use of police resources to see who was having sex, and a fine use of jail cells for those people to occupy.Mar 31 08:55
IsambardPrinceThere's really no telling how much longer it would have gone on without the court, which wasn't even a UK court.Mar 31 08:55
IsambardPrinceThe UK wasn't much better to gay people than the Nazis when the camps were "liberated".Mar 31 08:58
IsambardPrinceWhat the Western Allies did was throw gay people who were holocaust camp victims, into German prisons instead.Mar 31 08:58
IsambardPrinceUnder the Allied Control Council.Mar 31 08:58
IsambardPrinceAnd the Soviets were worse than that. They just put up an NKVD sign on the same camps and people kept dying there.Mar 31 08:58
IsambardPrinceschestowitz-pi, When a law has lost so much legitimacy that it's widely ignored, it's time to look at it again.Mar 31 09:08
IsambardPrinceIllinois is set to perhaps repeal the law against prostitution.Mar 31 09:09
IsambardPrinceI'd vote to repeal that law if I could. It's not the business of the State.Mar 31 09:10
IsambardPrinceThe idea is there's going to be prostitution. It's illegal now and you have prostitutes advertising online.Mar 31 09:11
IsambardPrinceI don't want my taxes spend paying police officers to work "vice" and for prisons to be filled with this.Mar 31 09:12
IsambardPrincePrisons should be filled with the worst sort of trash you can find.Mar 31 09:12
