I've seen snuff videos, most of which are faked, by the way. What law makes them illegal?


Hi JerryM, I second Cicero's welcome to the Cellar.

Hi JerryM, I second Cicero's welcome to the Cellar.

On topic:
The conspiracy to commit law. 5 years ago it became illegal to talk about a crime you are intending/ or not intending to commit. Just talking about killing someone with others is illegal. Actually doing it of course, is also illegal. Unless they have changed the laws about premeditated murder which I don't think they have. How many are fake v. real is not an arguement or debate I want in on..........And you thought Pingu was strange?http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...comedy&pl=true Huh. Curious.....
Now let me go find that law for you. I wish I had an account with Lexis Nexis, this would be so much easier. Ahhh- here we are:
http://http://www.law.cornell.edu/us...1----000-.html
I fail to see how these activities aren't illegal......really.

Do not forget that laws are supposed to arise from ethics , and not vice-versa .

The point about snuff films and child pornography is that laws are broken and people are harmed to create them, hence viewing them makes one an accessory. From a pure information standpoint, is there anything that people should not be allowed to watch/listen to/experience/know?

This has a clever ring- but I think I need it clarified for me. (too slow)

It means what good , simple people know . The old-fashioned difference between right and wrong . Them folks don't need no laws to tell 'em that .

I do not need laws to tell me what is wrong either . I know what is wrong .

That link gives me some server.....in German, or something.
Why is a faked murder on a grainy 8mm film any different from a fake murder in a Hollywood film? Could it be a myth to help marketing crap for big bucks?

I'll be expecting to turn yourself in, Rich. I know you've watched the Magruder film of JFK getting his head blown off.
Oh, and Jack Ruby's performance too...I'll bet you've watched that, haven't you?
