“Write about me running for president,” Greene said. “I’m running for president of the United States.”

Greene said he was born to be president and that he turns 35 in August of 2012.

“I’m the next president,” Greene said, while sitting on a bench. “I’ll be 35 … just before November, so I was born to be president. I’m the man. I’m the man. I’m the man. Greene’s the man. I’m the man. I’m the greatest person ever. I was born to be president. I’m the man, I’m the greatest individual ever.”

The accuser is blaming Greene for getting bad grades:


Camille was hoping for a chance to speak at Greene’s hearing so she could say how her encounter with the man she considers a predator changed her life.

“It just changed my personality in a way that was negative,” she said, adding that she is now nervous around older men. “I missed a lot of classes due to him and that messed with my grades, too, and I lost a scholarship."

So what is this guy being charged with exactly? Showing pornographic picture(s) to an 18 yr old? Did he not warn her that is what they were? How could she have seen more than one picture if the first one was pornographic, and she didn't want to see it, then wouldn't she have not looked at anymore?

I dunno, this girl is freaking out suddenly and saying he is a predator. Is a predator someone who tries to consensually get with someone? Why was she so scared? Have the transcripts of the chat not been released?

Then would you also say it should not be a crime to show a minor porn? You would discard the "obscenity" exception from the SCOTUS' interpretation of free speech? You would allow pornographers to send pornographic mailers out to houses where children may be? You would permit snuff films to be shown on cable television? You would allow Hitler to come to power, kill all the Jews you hate so passionately, lock up anyone who disagrees with you, and then enslave anyone left alive from your DISGUSTING FASCIST POLICIES?!!!

It's called sexual assault.

And libertarians wonder why nobody wants to vote for them.

Libertarian: We should have smaller government and more freedom!!!

Crowd: Loud cheers

Libertarian: And, showing porn to someone who doesn't want to see it is freedom of speech!

Crowd: Couple of cheers, mostly look at each other and slowly walk toward the mainstream R and D candidates

Yes it is. It is the crime of sexual assault, which is unwanted sexual contact, which would include unwanted showing of pornographic materials to someone.

She was at a computer in a school library, and the dude next to her randomly showed her porn. If you can't go to the school library without having to worry about the person next to you showing you porn, then you simply have no rights in this society.

What about mental integrity? This dude next to her showed her porn, and then asked if she wanted to go back to his place.

You should have the right not to be assaulted with porn if you don't want to.

so you have the right "not to be shown things"? where do you draw the line? what if i tell you bad news? what if i say something unpleasant to somebody that she claims causes her psychological harm? e.g., i tell a smoker it is bad to smoke. or i tell a healthy non-smoker that it is fun to smoke. the whole idea it's ridiculous. you don't have a right to not be shown things unless you have a contract saying so.

Porn is sexual. Bad news isn't. Porn is obscene. Bad news isn't. Where do you draw the line? Unwanted sexual contact. There you go, it's already on the books. Showing porn to people in public is sexual contact, and should be against the law.

You're argument is a weak slippery slope. The fact is, it is already against the law to show porn to random people on the streets, and it isn't against the law to tell someone bad news. The two have zero to do with one another.

And, also, can't I say the same to you concerning minors? You can tell minors bad news, but you can't show them porn? Where do we stop? You already are making a distinction between porn and other sorts of speech material, so why should we not continue that distinction to the realm of adults who choose to abstain from viewing porn?

dude, it's not sexual assault. it might be a sexual suggestion, but if he looked at the woman's chest, it would also be an inappropriate act, but there is no physical harm or even an attempt to force her to do something she didn't want to do. in your world a guy who looks at a woman below their neck, maybe even accidentally, could be in jail. and there is no principled case based on property rights or protection of life. it's just a ridiculous arbitrary law at criminalizing a behavior that doesn't violate anyone's rights.

Looking at someone does not involve intimidation. Showing them images of sex (the actual definition of porn, nudity does not equal porn) that forces one to think about sexual behavior is harassment.

Again, why should we make distinctions with minors in your system? By your logic, we should lock minors in their rooms so as to not allow them to be able to hear any speech.

rather than go through side topics that deserve another thread, i think it's better to go back to the heart of the argument.

i don't think we're going to agree, because we probably view what constitutes crime differently. i don't accept anything as a crime, and i think most libertarians would agree, unless it can be shown that it is a violation of property, contract, or physical integrity. is this case any of these three type of violations? if so, let me know, if not, we have standards to call something a crime.

as for having a right to not being shown things that lead someone to think about something... well, that notion is just too laughable to even discuss.

doesn't having a guy looking towards a woman's chest force her to think "this ass would like to see(*) or touch my boobs!"?

Umm, and how is it different with a minor?

This is a fundamental problem with true libertarianism in general. There can be no distinction between minors and adults in the system.

Anyway, you still have not resolved the problem. You are making a distinction between minors and the rest of everyone, and yet you refuse to make the distinction between the obscene sexual nature of pornography and the nature of non-obscene material.

i didn't say i made any distinction regarding minors. i mentioned the fact that she wasn't a minor so that the claim that she is a minor wouldn't be used, because she isn't. so you're claiming that i took a position that i never took apparently because you don't want to talk about the central issue. fine.

again, i have taken no position in this thread about laws regarding minors. she is not a minor. this thread has nothing to do with minors.
