Havent you technically "downloaded" something just by having the thumbnail load in your browser?

the guy was arguing that temp internet files were not possession of the material

Then they would start up again somewhere else.
Attacking the symptoms is nice, but the disease goes on anyway.

that a few of them find their way here, is tolerable.

lol yes I think so. I had to recover some files from a wiped HDD and it pulled up little internet images from sites I don't even remember. banner ads, single words.. all kinds of useless crap.

thousands of them.

Yes, you have downloaded the thumbnail into your temporary directory. That image was downloaded from their server to your harddrive. Technically the same actions took place as if you intentionally downloaded it.

Fixed

wow. that was a lil excessive.
I think 'noob' got the point across.

4chan'ers call everyone "fags".

Newfags, oldfags, femfags, WOWfags, ATOTfags, etc.

I find a lot of the stuff on there pretty funny. /v/ is pretty safe and usually doesn't have most of the disgusting bullshit /b/ has.

only if you're a dumbass that drags and drops every link you see
or executes/opens everything a random person tells you to

i see. hmm. maybe ill go check it out.

The destruction of innocence right here.

Edit: Combination of /co/ and /rs/ = amazing if you like comics. Also should be largely devoid of pr0n.

The people here that quote /b/ in one breath and then go on crying about something make me cringe...bonus points if they run to a mod.
