Goddess type posts are clearly ok by US law. Whether they violate Japanese law and where they are posted is not my concern. I would hope that the goddess that posts her picture would take enough precauion that he or she or heshe will not get in trouble in their locale. If their post reaches a server that I own, it will be potected speach unless it violates the law here in San Francisco. BBSpink is definately the appropriate place for goddess posts. It is an adult only bbs, and the people reading it are adults, and should expect some explicit material. If reading bbspink violates the law in your locale, I am sorry for you, and hope that your laws will beomce more accomodating to you someday. Freedom of speach is an important right for all of humanity. It should not have anything to do with borders of countires. However we all know that iit does, and that some of humanity is more free and equal than others. I wish it was not that way, but it is. I will do my best to protect and defend peoples freedom of expression. it is my passion. If someone were to post speach that is not protected, I will not hessitate to report and help that person be apprehended by the police. Classic example of speach that is not protected is yelling FIRE in a crouded theater, or violating the rights of a minor by uploading provacative images of them. Basically don't be stupid and lets have fun!
