Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Chanology?
KvP:
I remember when I was in high school, one Halloween I dressed up and acted like a "revolutionary" for a day. I had a beret, dressed in all black, carried around a little red book, and scrawled meaningless slogans all around the school. It was pretty fun. I bet these protests are too.
I'm of the persuasion that what Scientology really lacks (along with other young religions like Mormonism) is the shroud of time taking off its sharp edges and lending it a "traditional" legitimacy that people really latch onto. Other religions are only slightly less weird and outrageous in their claims. But that doesn't mean religion in general is detestable or even ignorable.
Ozymandias:
Part of what makes other religions more tolerable is a claim of the metaphysical. You can't prove the existence of a God and, thus, you can't disprove him has the cause of miracles and other such things.
Scientology implicitly makes the claim that all of its tenets are provable, real constructs of the universe. And, as such, they can be dismissed as absurd.
David_Dovey:
I have no trouble dismissing the metaphysical claims of most religions as absurd.

Yeah, moot and the mods have been against child porn since the very beginning. It's only ever been an issue because the mods got lazy on /b/ for a week and some jackasses decided it'd be real goddamn funny to take advantage of it.
Mod laziness is no longer the case, and as a result, every time child pornography is posted to 4chan it is quickly taken care of and reported to the authorities in whatever country the IP address is from. The poster is IP banned as well.

Also any regard for the law or common morality.
