So by that logic it would not be illegal to hire someone to kill another person as long as you do it over the internet? Why is online gambling illegal then?

Because someone in government wasn't on-board, financially speaking.

In one case, there's money to made made. Opportunity cost.

In the other, well I don't understand; but I know there's no money to be made.

well... then you’d be taking money out of their pocket... impacting them directly. that cannot be allowed

as for kiddie porn, pedophiles aren’t attacking their kids... so it’s ok
/sarc

advertise the everywhere you can... alongside the left’s outrage over the ban on homo marriage. the VAST majority of America will be repelled by what they see

just don’t let them distance themselves from the association

stick this crap to them with a branding iron
