  2. to even address this issue with that kind of bullshit officious denial of culpability is exactly why this world is wracked repeatedly with war, genocide, victimization, rape, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. FUCK YOUR SEMANTIC LEGAL GAMES THAT RUN CONTRARY TO LIVED HUMAN EXPERIENCE! BLACK IRON PRISON, indeed:

  3. How about an apology from the Church of England? Turing was chemically castrated and driven to suicide by the religious bigots of his day: http://seanrobsville.blogspot.com/2012/02/alan-turing-gay-buddhist.html
