Originally Posted by AWPrime Its quite simple, his definition defined art as a 'medium of artistic expression', and porn is clearly a visual medium quite suitable for expression. Let me get this straight: Art is a "medium of artistic expression", and Porn is [clearly?] a "visual medium quite suitable for expression" Ergo porn is art! I see a critical word missing from that second statement...

Once again... Quote: DDWW and Avalon, you still there? Please respond to: Originally Posted by KingMerv00 You aren't going far enough.

She is lucky she murdered someone in Europe. It means she won't be murdered by the state with people gripped by bloodlust gawping at her in her death throes. In Europe we are more civilised than that. It also means that if new evidence should become available and she be found to be innocent in the future she would still alive to be freed.

One thing I noticed was that they refused a Captain's Mast, and that the defense is making a lot of noise about how much damage a court-martial could potentially do to them.
