“Should the number 1 be illegal?”
And how would we indicate an inventory that’s above 0 but not 2? “Zero, half-two, two, three…”?
“the number 1e10000?”
I did too much hexidecimal math to argue against making the math illegal, but this is just a translation from decimal to hex.
“infinity?”
That’s a concept, not a number.
“What about all the numbers in between?”
All the numbers between infinity? That’s… infinity.
“If you answered no,”
Actually, my answer would be ‘how the hell would you tag the evidence?’ But ‘no’ also works.
"congratulations, you just agreed child porn should be legal.”
No, you stupid shit, I absolutely did not. I don’t want to outlaw the number that describes the age of the victim, that does NOT mean I want to erase the law that says don’t victimize her/him/them. It’s a completely separate thing.
“An image is nothing but a number,”
No. So, if i say this image is 1E11000? What is that an image of?
But if i say this is an image of a minor who is being put in a sexual position to excite pedophiles, there’s no number in that statement at all. We could even outlaw numbers and STILL define ‘minors,’ it’d just be a lot more wordy.
“to make a set of images illegal is to make a number illegal.”
Nope. Saying, “it’s illegal to possess an image of a minor being sexualized” doesn’t outlaw the age of consent or the age of the minor. You must be typing this while erect. I mean, I’m sure it makes sense to you, but words have meanings. And all you want is permission to not be punished for being a creep.
