>I thought the KKK killed a lot of people? Lol.

evidently the concept of "directly kill people" as something that food poisoning does was lost on you, but to clarify art that inspires the KKK 'indirectly' kills people. Lol.

>You like movies by spielberg, that's nice.

And I guess you like making incorrect assumptions as the opening for a new paragraph? In case the meaning was lost on you - no not that much. Maybe 5 movies by him. I guess that is a reasonable amount, but he's made a lot of movies I don't give a damn about.

>If age of consent increases to 21 20yrs from now for example, isn't displaying nude images of 19yr olds a crime after that time?

well three things:

1. huh!??!

2. age of consent means one can consent to sex (and presumably be allowed to have it), displaying nude images is not the same thing as having sex.

3. Are you feeling alright?



To follow your style of passive aggressive response:

1. Don't attack the person arguing against you, you can argur the facts just fine 2. Having indirect impact as opposed to direct makes no difference here since we are talking about prevention and not accountability. If you censor less people die or get hurt, that's why censorship happens not to blame or punish the artist. 3. It is not far fetched to assume that a very popular film maker being defended by you implies you actually like his work. 4. If a Child cannot consent to sex yoy cannot take their image as art and release it to the public. It seems you have no actual argument so you have attempted to take everything I said and repeated it to appear as if it was all unfounded fantasy. 5. If you falsley yell fire in a crowd that is illegal because of the harm it causes. Analogies like this used to help people understand reason but it seems you are more interested in winning an internet argument at all costs than a healthy discussion. 6. I am alright, hope you are as well.
