throw this away, do whatever you want with this.  I think there's 

something 

here but I'm currently at a loss as to exactly what it is.  It may be

nothing.

I certainly don't want to sound like an alarmist but some of these 

people

sound a bit fanatical.

Ok. This is quite simple. Some guy was busted for "Kiddie Porn" and
apparently now, you believe anime ML's and sites will be attacked for 

the

"Age" of these characters. I think I can sum this up pretty easily.
It-won't-happen. First off, Anime is completely fictional(unless you 

count

the historical ones). There's no child hurt, there's no real law 

broken. We

are completely safe from the federal government and we will continue to 

be

until we break some kind of law. This is complete fluff and I am truly
sorry for continuing this but I had to get my 2 cents in. 

 Famous last words.  Were talking about the same people who  got into an 
uproar about Mortal Kombat.  Heh. It doesn't matter if it's fictonal or 
not. These groups want a scapegoat .And they can get totally idiototic 
to do it.They'll go into a long stupid protest which will be ignored 
till election time  THEN the government will join the fray. Then they'll 
dig through the archives till they can find the most disgusting piece of 
lemon fanfiction they can find  ( Artermis' Lover anyone ? ), Governers 
will make long speeches  sprinkled liberally  with words like "dirty" 
"corrupting" "smut".  There will be outcrys of "free speech"  
"censorship". Then it goes 2 ways ...not solved or some sort of ratings 
that will most likely not be enforced. It has happen before it  will 
happen again and again.He makes a valid point on the "threat" . Calling 
it fluff is optimisim taken to a high degree. Of course that's just my 
humble opinion. I say ignore it till it comes .

don't call me Darky
