  No to which, my call to create a coherent argument or to stand down?

  Mephis: "case law shifted one way and then back since, under the impact of various new legislation."

  Thank you Mephis, now we have a more balanced presentation of the facts, which is quite a bit different from what the terse statement you initially provided indicated.

  Thank you for proving my point: these situations are too complicated to be reduced to simplistic solutions.

  MD: 'Must' is a bit much in a forum like this.

  OK: Should.

  Are you happy now?

  Mephis, I clicked on the first link in the Google search you provided and found this:

  "There is no official statutory provision offering 'in the public interest' as a defence to copyright infringement." - Jody Tsigarides.

  That statement by Ms. Tsigarides (whoever the heck she is) hardly supports your claims. It does in fact the opposite.
  

  Saying something is "very, very well known" is not helpful nor academically sound rhetoric. It is in fact "puffing."

  Don't be lazy. Create a coherent argument providing tangible evidence or stand down.

  "For sale: baby shoes, never worn"

  by Simon in

  2. experiences

  if you've never come across the above title before, it's considered to be the shortest novel possible.

  a story, possibly a moving one, in just 6 words attributed to earnest hemingway.. it started a genre called "flash fiction" which is a memoir in six-words.. what would yours be?.

  indoctrinated child found freedom, love, family.

  me-you allow pedophiles to go d2d and into peoples houses even when they have children.. j.w-no we don't.. me-the one that interfered with a relative of mine does and another i know who raped his sister does in fact he's an elder.. j.w-we cant stop them going d2d.. me- so now your saying they do go d2d you can't stop them,no you don't want to!.

  j.w-it happens in all religions.. me- so that justifies sending pedo's into strangers houses.how would you like it if a pedo came to your place and you didn't know.. j.w- it happened to my mother and if he came to my place it knock him out.. me - but you have no problem with anyone from your church going to peoples houses even if they are a pedo.. we argued around in circles with him saying the elders may not know and me saying well i told them and so did the victim and he admitted to it ,then i told him about the r.c in australia and he said that could be anyone claiming to be a j.w could be on the stand ( by this time he was getting desperate)the i said like jeffery jackson?.

  i told them to look it up on you tube.. i gave then the names and congro's the 2 pedo's are in and said i'd come back next week and see if they had checked it out.the lady's body language said she knew the elder that raped his sister as they are a well know family they were in the year book a few years ago.. stand by for next week.. karter.

  Translation: We don't do that, but if we did it's because we can't stop them and it happens in all religions anyways.

  Denial, impotence and excuses.

  JWs are just like everyone else after all.

  Let's review: It's a cult!

  TGND: What I am arguing for is the negligence in identifying the hypocrisy of a community that has shared illegal copies of CoC and WT copyrighted material for decades

  What is this community of which you speak?

  Can you identify it in specific terms? Who are its members? Where do they live?

  Mephis: Lion Laboratories v Evans

  If you're going to cite a legal precedent you must provide a link and an explication, preferably one by a recognized jurist and perhaps a summary of your own.

  Cofty: Am I not right in saying that Canada is part of North America which is made up of Canada and the USA?

  Well, you obviously left out Greenland and Mexico. And according to many geologists/geographers, you should also include Central America and the Caribbean.

  • Bahamas
  • Barbados
  • Bermuda
  • Cuba
  • Dominica
  • Dominican Republic
  • Grenada
  • Guadelupe
  • Haiti
  • Jamaica
  • Martinique
  • Netherland Antilles
  • Puerto Rico
  • St. Kitts & Nevis
  • Trinidad and Tobago
  • U.S. Virgin Islands
  • Belize
  • Costa Rica
  • El Salvador
  • Guatemala
  • Mexico
  • Honduras
  • Nicaragua
  • Panama
  • Argentina
  • Bolivia
  • Brazil
  • Chile
  • Colombia
