Overcriminalization: everyone violates trivial laws! Hence: “Don’t Talk to Cops! Refuse Search!”

1) “I have nothing to say, officer”.  2) I don’t consent to searches”.

are the most important sentences to deal with police. Listen to a law school professor, a policeman, a human rights organisation. They all say the same

Police: a dangerous threat to be avoided? Why can’t we cooperate with police?

You always have the right to refuse police searches (“Officer, I don’t consent to any searches”) and refuse to answer questions without a lawyer present. (“I have nothing to say. I want to see a lawyer.”) […]

No Warrant, No Search!
The Supreme Court has ruled that the home is entitled to maximum search protection. Even if they have probable cause to believe something illegal is going on inside your home, the 4th Amendment requires police to get a signed search warrant from a judge to legally enter and search. flexyourrights.org/faq

This advice makes us cringe: as honest, law abiding citizens, we want to cooperate with law enforcement, so they can track down violent dangerous criminals and terrorists. But collaboration with police endangers our own safety and gets us into jail?

A law abiding honest citizen has to avoid talking to police? Must refrain from helping police work? The good citizen has to make it harder for police to find the real criminals by refusing to cooperate!  Why can’t an honest citizen collaborate with police, so they can find criminals and terrorists?

What is wrong here?  In the “Don’t talk to Cops #1” video, a law school professor explains, that even a hard core criminal lawyer could get himself trouble, if he talked to police. There are so many laws. You might be found a felon for possessing a lobster that was packed in violation of Native Indian reservation law, or Honduran Law.

Never talk to a tax official. It is impossible, not to be in violation of one of the millions of articles of tax law. in “Don’t talk to Cops #2”, a policeman explains: if he follows a car, he is certain that pretty soon he can nail the driver for some traffic violation. If the honest normal citizen cannot collaborate with police, cannot help police to make their work easier, something is wrong. Or am I the only one thinking this way?

Overcriminalization: criminalizing trivial or harmless behavior.

The Crime of Living

Government run amok.

Posted October 19, 2010

The new term “overcriminalization” describes the last few decades’ legislative orgy of criminalizing trivial or harmless behavior. Under “zero tolerance” the legal system has shifted ever closer to a vast police state. From 2000 to 2007 Congress added 452 new federal crimes to the 4,450 already in effect and the roughly 300,000 regulations that can be enforced criminally. “Get tough” punishments and innovative new crimes have brought career-making headlines to politicians, who encountered little resistance.

Traditionally civil offenses now resemble criminal ones in their punishment. For example, it is commonplace for judges to imprison “deadbeat dads” who cannot pay child support for civil contempt of court. Not even children are exempt. Petty offenses such as “sexting” between teens are felonies and can be severely punished; in grade schools police are sometimes called to control children who throw temper tantrums. Everyday life has been criminalized.

The book Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent, by libertarian attorney Harvey Silverglate, details how you are a felon right now because going through one day without violating the law repeatedly is virtually impossible.

on June 28, 2007, Breitbart.com reported research by Northwestern Professor Bruce Spencer […] Spencer discovered that innocent defendants had a 25% chance of being wrongfully convicted by juries and 37% chance of being wrongfully convicted by a judge. In contrast, Spencer found only a 10% chance a jury would acquit a guilty person and a 13% chance a judge would acquit a guilty person. […] According to Northwestern University law professor Jack Heinz, the concentration of errors in wrongful convictions result from "the strong presumption of guilt when someone is arrested and brought to trial."

[…] criminologist Richard Moran reported his research findings in the New York Times on August 2, 2007: ‘My recently completed study of the 124 exonerations of death row inmates in America from 1973 to 2007 indicated that about 80%, or about two thirds, of their so-called wrongful convictions resulted not from good-faith mistakes or errors, but from intentional, willful, malicious prosecutions by criminal justice personnel.’

We have too many victimless crimes, harsh punishment for petty crimes, and too many laws. Every single citizen commits (harmless) crimes and felonies with regularity and is in danger of arrest and conviction. And over 99% of these “crimes” remain unpunished, with the occasional unlucky guy who gets convicted. Potential crimes include: copyright infringement, underage sex among minors (hey, maybe you had sex with a minor when you were 15 and there is no statute of limitation), potential vengeful charges of rape and sex abuse, underage drinking, drug consumption, indadvertent possession of child porn (most men probably have some picture on their hard drive that potentially could be of a 17 year old nude).

certain practical steps could greatly alleviate the suffering of the law’s innocent victims. They include:

  • eliminating the ability of civil judges to imprison debtors for contempt of court;
  • reestablishing the need to prove “criminal intent” for criminal charges;
  • ceasing to prosecute victimless crimes, like drug use and sex between consenting adults;
  • eliminating prosecutorial immunity for corrupt or excessive prosecution;
  • enforcing constitutional protections such as “the presumption of innocence”; and
  • making all courts, including family courts, transparent.

Overcriminalization threatens everyone. It does not matter how peaceful or law-abiding you mean to be. Today you are a criminal. Tomorrow you may be a prisoner.

Consult a lawyer before playing doctor. Perverse sex laws traumatize children.

In these modern times, a child needs legal counsel before playing doctor, before taking photos, or before just hugging a fellow kid.   Sex laws seriously traumatize and scar little children. 10y olds become registered sex offenders, 6 year olds accused of sexual harassment, and 13 year olds risk 10 years in jail for having a 12 year old boyfriend.  Innocence of childhood is being taken away by pedo-hysteric perverts that invent and enforce absurd laws that grow out of the sex-obsessed religious mind.

A few decades ago, sexually curious children would get a little slap on the wrist or an admonition. Nowadays they get police arrest or at least a school suspension.

Obviously children need to be taught. and warned about these dangers. Not so much the dangers of sexuality. Children need to understand the dangers of man-made crazy laws.

But, how do you teach a 5 year old, or even a 12 year old that adults made insane laws that will cruelly punish him for taking nude photos of herself, playing doctor or “harassing” a kindergarden mate through hugging? Sexuality for children is even more complex then for adults

Get a lawyer before sex: 27 precautions before risking sex with a woman

You really need legal counsel if you are a minor, 16y, 13y, or 5 years old

There is no way a child or adolescent can live without a lawyer. The law mercilessly “protects” minors against exploitation, even by themselves.

If you are a minor, merely taking a photo of yourself naked is a legal nightmare (production of “child pornography”)

By this logic, if a child looks into the bath room mirror and sees her naked body, she is looking at child pornography!?

Every 5 year-old is stepping in a legal mine field if s/he wants to play doctor.

Criminalizing Child’s Play
by Marshall Burns, Ph.D. […]

What used to be called “playing doctor” for young children or thought of as normal sexual experimentation for older teens is now enough to get a kid arrested, taken away in handcuffs, put in juvenile jail, subjected to draconian psychological “treatment,” and put on a sex offender registry, often for the rest of his or her life! This is not just for aggressive or violent behavior, but for innocent, consensual play among giggling kids.

This report presents statistics on juvenile sex offenders, as well as details and references on 66 cases of the formal admonishment of children as young as four for behavior interpreted as sexual and criminal prosecution of children and teenagers for consensual sexual activity. This is a small sample of tens of thousands more cases like them across the United States and in some other countries.

solresearch.org/~SOLR/rprt/JSOs.htm#Ref_1

Now every 7 year old, as soon as she is able to take a photo with a cell phone, needs to be accompanied by a lawyer, in order to know these important facts of life. Of course, these regulations need to be part of every school curriculum, from kindergarden to high school.

12, 14, 16 year olds, when engaging in sex, or just sex foreplay, are subject to varying laws, depending on country and state they are in.  One of the most absurd cases is here

Do kids who are just “messing around” have to worry about these laws?

solresearch.org/~SOLR/QnA.asp?group=30#Ref_PlayDoctor

Yes, they do. 11-year-old registered "sex offender"

11-year-old registered “sex offender”

What used to be called “playing doctor” for young children or thought of as normal sexual experimentation for older teens is now enough to get a kid arrested, taken away in handcuffs, put in juvenile jail (or sometimes even adult prison), subjected to draconian psychological “treatment,” and put on a sex offender registry, often for the rest of his or her life! This is not just for aggressive or violent behavior, but also for innocent, consensual play among giggling kids. See the SOLR report, Criminalizing Child’s Play , for data on the formal admonishment of children as young as four, and criminal prosecution of first graders, for innocent sexual behavior.

10 year old girl registered as sex offender for 25 years. Her crime:
1) Fully clothed pretend-sex & 2) nude flashing

Another example of the disruption due to registration was described in Moore’s USA Today article (2006). Leah DuBuc, age twenty-two, and a resident of Michigan, was adjudicated
at the age of ten for sexual experimentation. DuBuc and her two stepbrothers age eight and five were caught flashing each other and pretending to have sex with their clothes on. Two years later DuBuc plead guilty to first and second degree sexual conduct and was sentenced to eighteen months in a residential treatment program and was required to register as sex offender for twenty-five years. DuBuc’s youthful mistake has made it difficult for her to find or keep a reasonable job; she suffers from community harassment, and has been refused financial aid, thus limiting her education level. DuBuc petitioned to be added to the non-public registry instead of the public registry but was denied because she was more than five years older than one victim at the time of the offense. DuBuc claimed the court had poor mathematical skills because her stepbrother was five and she was ten at the time of the offense cjcj.org/files/attitudes_towards.pdf

Today’s legally acceptable behavior can become a crime on kid’s birthday

Sex with 12 year old boy became a crime on her 17th birth day

1) A judge has sent a 17-year-old girl to a restorative justice conference before deciding if she should be punished for having sex with a 12-year-old boy.

In Napier District Court, Judge Tony Adeane observed the offence of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, instigated by the boy, happened on the girl’s 17th birthday, and had it been a day earlier she would not have been in the court.
nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10684597

In Brazil sex with 16 year old girlfriend became crime on his 18h birthday

2) In Brazil, where adolescents are so protected, that they (almost) get away with murder, a man was arrested on his 18th birthday. He was doing the same thing with his 16 year old girlfriend that he had done, legally, for years, while he was 17y or less.  But now, on his 18th birthday, he became criminally liable for seducing a minor.

Avid readers of child sex abuse books clamor for punitive laws

We were blissfully unaware of the fact that there are many many books dedicated to child sexual abuse. Emotional women devour such child abuse literature and get in a frenzy, demanding stricter laws.  Just looking at the titles and descriptions made us sick (child abuse true stories).  People who are enamored with such child abuse literature demand action

Perverted law enforcement persecutes normal average children

It took me a while to believe that Angry Harry was right: people who make and enforce these “child protection” laws have morbid obsessive phantasies about child sex.

Laws and law enforcement activities born out of these morbid phantasies do serious harm to little children and adolescents. These kids commit normal acts, sometimes somewhat “naughty” acts that then get blown out of proportion and criminalized instead of causing a simple admonition.

 thousands of women ‘therapists’, who fantasised about child sex for years on end, who badgered children as young as three with sexual thoughts and imagery, and who harmed tremendously thousands of children and families, are barely criticised, let alone imprisoned.How do they get away with this?

Well, one technique of theirs is to continue to make a huge fuss over child sexual abuse and to claim that they are thoroughly appalled by it.

The truth, however, is likely to be very different.

My guess is that they love it.

Finally, I was shopping at ASDA (Wal-Mart) last week. They have a very small selection of books on sale. And I presume that they only sell those books that are in particularly high demand by the public. About 20% of the titles of the entire range were to do with ‘abuse’, and another 20% were to do with serial killers, murderers, torturers and, in general, ‘evil’ people. You know the type. angryharry.com/es_chris_langham.htm

We at Human-Stupidity were shocked to find this HUGE amount of child abuse literature on Amazon.co.uk

Ultrasound abortion laws, unconscious denial, beef and caged hen eggs

A few states, in a desperate attempt to create obstacles, require ultrasound before abortion. Not for safety, but to show women their fetus, with a heart beating and little arms and feet, to make women feel bad about killing such a little thing, even if it still has no functioning brain or capacity to feel pain. On the other hand, the same conservatives try to shield the agricultural industry, so that unconscious consumers of eggs, or hamburgers, have no awareness of the cruelty towards feeling adult animals involved in the creation of the meal.

A few US states, in a desperate attempt to create obstacles, require ultrasound before abortion. Not for safety, but to show women their fetus, with a heart beating and little arms and feet.  To make women feel bad about killing such a little thing, even if it still has no functioning brain, no capacity to feel pain, no conscious will to live.

On the other hand, the same conservatives try to shield the agricultural industry, so that unconscious consumers of eggs, or hamburgers, have no awareness of the cruelty towards feeling adult animals involved in the creation of the meal. No pictures of sick caged hens on supermarket egg cartons or of movies of slaughterhouses at the butcher’s!

The new ultrasound law not only requires the medical procedure, but also requires that women know they have the option to hear a description of what is seen in the ultrasound, to receive a photograph of the ultrasound image and to view the ultrasound.
There is no exception for victims of rape or incest.
The lawsuit argues the ultrasound requirement is “unconstitutionally vague” because it doesn’t explain whether a person performing the ultrasound exam must try to force the woman to accept the envelope containing the photograph. The lawsuit also says it could violate a patient’s right to confidentiality by “exposing their private information to the risk of delivery by third parties.”
During legislative debate, supporters of the new law said they hoped the ultrasounds could dissuade women from getting an abortion by having to learn more about their pregnancies. Opponents said requiring a procedure that might not be available at a free clinic nearby will make it more difficult and costly for women to get
abortions.
The Center for Reproductive Rights has challenged similar ultrasound laws in other states.

Normally, human-stupidity is in favor of increasing consciousness. Though, this is more about emotional sentimentailsm then about intellectual awareness.  We also agree with abortion foes, in that i t would be better if abortions could be avoided. If not by abstinence then responsible sexuality with diligent use of birth control. We think these abortion ultrasound movies should be shown BEFORE women have unprotected sex that gets them pregnant in the first place. Of course, consciousness raising would also require showing movies about the hardship of unwed pregnancies and child rearing.

Now, interestingly, the same conservatives who want to increase women’s consciousness about their fetuses and their abortions, often decry birth control education in school sex ed.

The anti-abortion conservatives also normally back up the meat industry who actively hides their cruel activities  from the general populace.  The average meat eater would be appalled and turn vegetarian if he were constantly reminded of all the cruelty in industrial caged animal raising and slaughtering. Peter Singer, and many TV stations were consistently denied access to filming US industrial animal farming enterprises.

Peter Singer’s utilitarian ethics replaces our sexually-obsessed religious morality

The sexually-obsessed morality of conservative Christianity

.. and of other religions!  This phrase aptly summarizes the dilemma of most moral problems in the US and in the world. Moral discussion and legal discourse are obsessed with sexuality and relatively unconcerned with violence, greed, selfishness.

The more enlightened Christian readers have themselves now recognized that their Church’s preoccupation with sex has been a mistake: Dr George Carey, Archbishop of Canterbury, has admitted that the church has been guilty of ‘being caught up with the idea that sexual sins were “more significant” then other sins’ and has said that instead we should think more in terms of global problems such as world poverty. […] ethics has no necessary connection with the sexually-obsessed morality of conservative Christianity   Peter Singer “How Are We to Live?”

World poverty, corporative greed, dishonesty of politics, culture of violence, school yard bullying. So many real problems require ethics and morality.  Real violence, real damage to society and economy caused by moral failures.

But religions obsess with issues like birth control,  abortion: “saving” human life of small clusters of cells, while thousands of really alive and breathing humans starve or get killed in wars. Religions cause suffering by prohibiting stem cell research, mandating that embryos can be discarded to waste but can not be used for life saving medical research. Our laws interfere with birth control and HIV prevention. 20 year jail sentences for consensual sex with adolescents or mere possession of nude photos.

There is a reason for this religious obsession with sex.  Our holy books, are all around 2000 years old and were not updated.

Sexuality and baby-making were inseparable 2000 years ago

But nowadays, we have birth control. Sexuality is not identical to child production any more. Paternity can be verified with DNA tests and does not require virginity enforced by draconian punishments.

It is funny, though, how churches extrapolate their teachings unto issues that are not covered by the Bible: areas like stem cells, birth control pill, etc. It is also interesting how churches influence politics and legal codes, in countries that have clear separation of church and state.

New ethics and morality are needed.

Merely abandoning religious ethics can lead to crime, greed, moral disorientation. We can observe this in politics, youth violence, obesity, nutrition, corporate (lack of) ethics, general moral disorientation of large parts of the population.Morality & Ethics without God: Peter Singer’s Utilitarianism

Read hundreds of free articles by and about Peter Singer


Very good overview of Peter Singer’s ethics. Just listen to the audio, the video is not interesting.  This is not a single video but a set of videos.		 Peter Albert David Singer (born 6 July 1946) is an Australian philosopher. He is the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University, and laureate professor at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics (CAPPE), University of Melbourne. He specialises in applied ethics, approaching ethical issues from a secular preference utilitarian perspective. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Singer

Singer is the greatest contemporary exponent of utilitarianism, the doctrine that actions should aim to maximise the greatest happiness for the greatest number of individuals. Given that our every action has consequences for this end, we are truly immersed in morality.

Peter Singer’s utilitarian philosophy is an alternative to stupidity derived from religious beliefs. Where Richard Dawkins just vaguely surmises about morality without religion, Peter Singer devotes his life to the intricacies of such a morality.  As I have stated, the rules from holy books like Bible or Koran were very sensible at the time they were written. But they need overhaul. And, preferably, without resorting to God or Prophets. Peter Singer can come to the rescue.

Dinesh de Souza made the great compliment: Singer’s ethics is what you arrive at with logic and without God: “Peter Singer represents the sharpest, deepest, certainly the most lucid, the most consistent in arguing out the premises and the implications of atheism”.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phgb67NAaHA is part 1 of a 12 (!) part discussion with Peter Singer. Very interesting to see in its entirety. In part 1 Dinesh gives a fairly good but hostile description of Peter Singer’s philosophy)

Child porn laws and underage sex laws have caused inumerous deaths and suffering.

  1. Men are too afraid to help lost infants, who in some instances have died (Did Pedophilia Hysteria Cause Child’s Death?)
  2. Lots of men have committed suicide after chatting  up minors on the internet or after being accused of child porn possession (Child porn suspect suicide tally hits 32;  Five committed suicide over a short time span.)
  3. Many men get gang raped in prison, become life long sex slaves, are severely beaten, and contract deadly AIDS for simple possession of photos. Criminal prison rapist gangs are especially ruthless with “Child rapists” (who mostly are in jail for consensual sex or mere consensual fondling)
  4. and now this insanity: airline safety will be compromised

Airline safety sacrificed due to insane child porn laws

Planes may get blown up & passengers may get killed, due to child porn law compliance

Airplanes might get highjacked, might get blown up, or flown into towers. That is less important then silly child porn laws. One the one side the danger of many people’s violent death. On the other hand the danger of what? Some security official getting turned on when seeing x-ray photos? Who will get protected?

nude-airport-scanner Kids May Be Barred From ‘Nude’ Airport Scanner

Manchester Airport has admitted it might be illegal for children to use its new “nude” security scanner when it comes into operation at the end of the month.

The full body scanner, which was launched in a blaze of publicity, reveals everything under clothing and shows a clear outline of the passenger’s genitals.

The airport has now said that no under-18s will be allowed to use the device unless it can clarify the law on indecent images of children.

Manchester Airport’s head of external communications, Russell Craig, said they would be taking advice before starting the trial at the end of the month. Source: see title link

But not only children (under 18) should be exempt, but nobody should be scanned.  Airline security be damned:

What’s more, the group claims the machines, among other things, violate the federal Video Voyeurism Prevent Act, which protects against capturing improper images that violate one’s privacy.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a recent statement that the deployment is “enhancing our capability to detect and disrupt threats of terrorism across the nation.”

Child Porn prosecution causes suffering, watching child porn is harmless

Almost all so called “child porn” in reality is “adolescent nudity” or consensual “sexual activities” of sexually active teenagers. We are not not aware of any deaths due to child porn production. Most child porn is totally harmless, like adolescents taking their own photos, or formerly legal 16 year old sex films made legally in Holland 30 years ago.

On the other hand there was a death in the production of the following documentary:  Beating Death Of Derrion Albert,16,Caught On Video as described in Nude adolescent photos: a Crime. Videos of lynching, killing, beating adolescents are legal Prime Time TV.

Jack B. Weinstein: A reasonable judge
opposing cruel child porn jail terms (!must read!)

Finally, a few sensible judges. The first glimpse of reason in the witch hunt. Jack B. Weinstein against the cruel child porn witch hunt!

Defiant Judge Takes On Child Pornography Law

In his 43-year career as a federal judge, Jack B. Weinstein has come to be identified by his efforts to combat what he calls “the unnecessary cruelty of the law.”[…]

Judge Weinstein, who sits in the United States District Court in Brooklyn, has twice thrown out convictions that would have ensured that the man spend at least five years behind bars. He has pledged to break protocol and inform the next jury about the mandatory prison sentence that the charges carry. And he recently declared that the man, who is awaiting a new trial, did not need an electronic ankle bracelet because he posed “no risk to society.”

There is little public sympathy for collectors of child pornography. Yet across the country, an increasing number of federal judges have come to their defense, criticizing changes to sentencing laws that have effectively quadrupled their average prison term over the last decade.

Last week, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated a 20-year child pornography sentence by ruling that the sentencing guidelines for such cases, “unless applied with great care, can lead to unreasonable sentences.” The decision noted that the recommended sentences for looking at pictures of children being sexually abused sometimes eclipse those for actually sexually abusing a child.

Judge Weinstein has gone to extraordinary lengths to challenge the strict punishments, issuing a series of rulings that directly attack the mandatory five-year prison sentence faced by defendants charged with receiving child pornography.

“I don’t approve of child pornography, obviously,” he said in an interview this week. But, he also said, he does not believe that those who view the images, as opposed to producing or selling them, present a threat to children.

“We’re destroying lives unnecessarily,” he said. “At the most, they should be receiving treatment and supervision.” […}

“I don’t see Judge Weinstein as a judge,” Mr. Polizzi said during an interview as tears rolled down his face. “I see him as my father. He helps people. He doesn’t destroy lives the way the prosecutor has. He’s the one who is going to set me free from the court.”
nytimes.com/2010/05/22/nyregion/22judge.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all

And Judge Weinstein seems to talk about REAL child porn, 5 year olds engaging in sex. Convicting a guy for watching 10-17 year old girls dancing provocatively, wearing leotards (in Knox vs US), or for inadvertently downloading photos of 17 year old nudes is even more disproportionally cruel.

It is amazing that judge Weinstein has not been arrested, deposed, assassinated yet. He really goes against the grain of the entire child porn witch hunt.

Geert Wilders in court for offending Muslims (who threaten his life and already killed Theo van Gogh)

Geert Wilders is under constant death threats from Muslim Extremists and under 24 hour guard. Film maker Theo van Gogh was already ritually executed in Holland.

And now Geert Wilders is risking jail for comparing Muslims to Hitler and the Koran to “Mein Kampf”. Now that I write this I understand the analogy. His court case is a living example how Muslims march through the institutions, taking advantage of a weak and toothless democracy to gain anti-democratic dictatorial powers.

First Video: Muslims openly calling for Geert Wilders’ death.
Later movies: Geert Wilders speeches.
Now who should be in court facing a jail sentence?
Dutch MP Geert Wilders

In a clear case against free speech, Member of Parliamaent and member of Dutch government is being prosecuted by over-zealous judges – against the express will of the prosecution. In liberal Holland a leader of the 3rd largest party can not speek freely without risking jail, against the religious and political movement that is threatening his life. Imagine where the freedom of the average European is heading!

Political correctness is prohibiting offenses to Islam, like in

  • Koran burning (Fatwas ordering murder, embassy burning  etc ara much lesser crimes)
  • caricatures of the prophet (they justify murder, riots, …)
  • the example of Wim Wenders. (he is constantly threatened with murder but he, the victim, risks jail for speaking against the murders’ culture)

Political correctness is also prohibiting research and scientific arguments about race and intelligence

, or open scientific discussion about underage sex.

Discussing unpleasant truths is dangerous, gets prosecuted in many countries. Discussing muslim religion is so dangerous that even human-stupidity.com avoids to discuss muslim religion. this is a very rare exception.

The focus here is not analysis of muslim terrorism and religion, but freedom of speech for an articulate and quite moderate politician (listen to muslim preachers to see how moderate Geert Wilders is)

The human stupidity in all the above cases is:

  • pretending to be open-minded, liberal, scientific, and at the same time repress free speech, repress the truth (or at least potential truth).

Washington Times: Acquit Geert Wilders
Western countries need to defend Western civilization

Dutch member of Parliament Geert Wilders is on trial in the Netherlands for “incitement to hatred and discrimination.” His crime was daring to criticize Islam.

Get a lawyer before sex: 27 precautions before risking sex with a woman

A man who dares to have sex with a woman needs legal counsel. He is guilty until proven innocent on many charges, which can be filed years after sex. A woman can claim she withdrew consent in the middle of the act, was unable to consent because she was drunk, drugged, had mental problems; she can look older, lie about her age and have fake id; can insert sperm from a condom into her vagina to inseminate herself, can get child support even if SHE raped him; injure herself and accuse him of battery and rape. He may go to jail for doing a DNA test on the cuckold child from his wive’s adulterous affair. Even sex dolls can look underage, and masturbation has its risks.

Nowadays, a man cannot simply engage in sex. He might get arrested, jailed for decades, registered as a sex offender, or have to pay spousal support and child support for a few dacades.

A mere 27 precautions can help to significantly diminish these dangers, but can not eliminate them

Precautions in order to safely (?) engage in sex with a woman

Legal precautions before engaging in sex in Brazil

The following text has been made popular in Brazilian blogs. It proposes a list of all the precautions a man has to go through before risking to engage in sex with a woman. Other countries are usually even more stringent and have even more dangers, as I will show

Then I will show that the author has been very optimistic and his precautions are way insufficient.

First take the girl to a hospital emergency room and request a blood test for alcohol and other drugs, to avoid charges of sexual contact through fraud with a person unable to consent or resist.(Art. 215 CPB) Then go with her to a notary public and require her to file a declaration that you are practicing consensual sex, to avoid charges of rape. (Art. 213 CPB) Also, demand that she register a declaration with the notary republic that she is engaging in casual sex, to avoid any claim for breach of a stable common law relationship with her partner. (Law 9.278, Art. 7) Next, go to a laboratory and require an examination of beta-HCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) to make sure that you are not the guy chosen to support it her in a pre-existing pregnancy with a baby that is not yours. (Law 11.804 Art. 6)
At the motel or at home, use condoms and don’t even think of “rough sex” to avoid accusations of domestic violence and get thrown in jail for spousal abuse ( Law Nº 11.340). Also, you should pamper her, praise her, never criticize her or complain about anything, (you must be the perfect mate), so as not to cause any “physical, sexual or psychological suffering and moral damage.” You of course are without any of the same rights in return. (Law 11.340 Art. 5) Upon leaving the motel, take her to the Forensic Medicine Institute and require a medical examination, be sure to request an expedited report for the possibility of bodily injury (Art. 129 CPB) and to check for the presence of sperm in the vagina, to TRY to avoid spending nine months of hell if she later becomes pregnant by another guy (Law 11.804 Art. 6).  Finally, if the presence of sperm in the vagina of the girl is detected, immediately require a collection of samples for further investigation of paternity ((??Law1.060 Section 3 paragraph VI) and request a refund of any alimony obtained through deception or fraud. (Art. 171 CPB)

Having done all this, MAYBE you can practice “safe sex” if you are still interested.

This list is a good start, but unfortunately quite incomplete and left out a lot of risk factors, such as

  • underage statutory rape charges
  • fake ID
  • rape charges due to withdrawal of consent in the midst of the sex act
  • jurisdictional problems during travel
  • prostitution charges (which soon might elevate age of consent to 21 years)

I attempt to remedy these omissions and elaborate a more complete list of measures

27 precautions in order to safely engage in sex with a woman

A) Get Legal Counsel to understand the local law

you thought you could have sex without a lawyer? No way!


The girl looks quite clearly underage. Thus ID check, verification for fake ID, study of federal and state law regarding their age differences for application of Romeo & Juliet laws would be of major importance. Also informed consent about the risks, for example that the girl might withdraw consent at any time, a right which probably cannot be signed away in a contract. A lawyer should also advise his client that no photos must be taken, to avoid sexting child porn charges. So the video, though interesting, is very very incomplete.

Hollywood movies glorify criminal heroes: how romantic!

Romantic Hollywood movies are full of illegal (criminal) actions, perpetrated by movie heroes, our role models!  Interestingly, most of these illegalities are considered highly romantic (when perpetrated by a heartthrob movie star)

“When done in real life, many of the tricks used by onscreen singletons to successfully woo potential lovers can get you put away for a long time.”

  1. Pranking a Rival by Doctoring His Drink
  2. Defending Her Honor – With Your FISTS
  3. Watching Your True Love From the Bushes (stalking)
  4. Just Tie The Guy Up (rape committed by females is romantic)
  5. “Oh, It Was You I Was Having Sex With!” (sex by deception)
  6. Dashing Through Airport Security to Declare Your Love
    Source: Romantic Movie Gestures That Can Get You Prison Time

It is fun to read all the details and examples:
Romantic Movie Gestures That Can Get You Prison Time

If a man tied up a woman, with no explicit consent: 10 years jail time
Man tied up to be raped by a woman (in mainstream movie)

Do these movies send us wrong messages? Do they mis-educate us and our kids? Should they be prohibited for minors? Or are our laws wrong and the movies are right? Tough questions!

Hollywood glorifies ILLEGAL violent actions perpetrated by handsome role models …. but photos and movies of LEGAL acts are child pornography

Hollywood glorifies ILLEGAL violent actions perpetrated by handsome role models …

Our inborn insticts are not acceptable in laws of the modern world. This has good reasons. Genocide and ethnical cleansing can be found not only in the holy Bible, but even in chimpanzee colonies in the wild. Overreacting in self defense is a deterrent to thugs, but nowadays gets victims of bullying and robbery into jail. Of course, occasionally, the old illegal method would work as well or better. Vigilanteism and lynching, in the past, helped to maintain order.

In Hollywood movie clearly illegal and dangerous actions are perpetrated by the hero! Not just by the villains, but by the beloved and adored hero that serves as model for adults and children alike. I always wondered why the hero never makes a police report, but rather solves his problems with his fists and guns. What a role model for our gullible children!
