Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns— whether they be green or dry—the wicked will be swept away. [b] The righteous will be glad when they are avenged, when they bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.Then men will say, "Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth."

that will not heed the tune of the charmer, however skillful the enchanter may be. Break the teeth in their mouths, O God; tear out, O LORD, the fangs of the lions! Let them vanish like water that flows away; when they draw the bow, let their arrows be blunted. Like a slug melting away as it moves along, like a stillborn child, may they not see the sun.

For the director of music. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." Of David. A miktam . [a] Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge uprightly among men? No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth. Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward and speak lies.Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,

I'm switching tabs between porn and atheists vs. believers I rock.

I agree that using many methods in parallel is a good strategy, particularly when progress is difficult and it's not (yet) clear how to make progress. But one's methods need to stay within the bounds of morality, and whether that's being done in all cases is what we're discussing.

I'm not sure it's that different. You know there are dangers out there on the streets, people get mugged, etc., yet you decide to go out anyway. But I come back to my question: If it's not an ambush, why is Rational Response Squad withholding information about the video's potentially shocking contents from individuals deciding whether or not to view it?

People can find out what RRS is about beforehand. It is a different situation if RationalResponse sent 5,000 people who didn't know them an email with a direct link to the video. It's within the bounds that one might expect in Youtube. However a person is right in his or her expectation that he or she will not come across kiddie porn on Youtube unless they are viewing videos that no one has seen and vetted before them.

You should acknowledge the difference of situations. Me getting ambushed while on the way to work or the shopping mall is different from me browsing Youtube on the Internet ("Internet" is capitalized because it is a proper noun assuming you don't use different internets). I have done the clicking and made the decision of what to see.
