allow exceptions to a law and the law slowly loses its power until ultimately the law is no longer even there any more..

we don't allow upcoming media, plain and simple.. trying to find loopholes and whatnot is not going to change it or we'll crumble like Ancient Rome.

"give a mouse a cookie, he'll want a glass of milk.." Ever hear of "argumentative fallacies"? Because Slippery Slope is a text-book one. The last great refuge of intellectual scoundrels, as my family puts it. The mouse analogy is sheer absurdity, as is the comparison to Ancient Rome. You do know that in real life, there is such a thing as "mitigating circumstances" right? As in, depending on those circumstances, exceptions or partial exceptions may be allowed.

So yeah, that doesn't do a thing to convince me. Quite to the contrary, it reinforces my belief that the "no upcoming media allowed" rule is nonsense of the highest order, and that exceptions to it ought to be allowed if sufficiently well argued.
