"Sure, we're too old to change the world, but what about that kid, sitting down, opening a book, right now, in a branch at the local library and finding drawings of pee-pees and wee-wees on the Cat in the Hat and the Five Chinese Brothers? Doesn't he deserve better?"

rumpelstiltskin:The judge is just assuming that jacking off is frowned on at every library on the face of the earth. I thought judges weren't supposed to make assumptions like that. They have to follow the law.

The judge is assuming that their powers extend outside the borders of the US.

It's a term of his probation. He's not ordering libraries to do anything. He's ordering this wanker to stay out of all libraries.

And you can be prosecuted for crimes you commit outside the US, even if they are not crimes in the country where you commit them. (e.g. underaged prostitution).

It's amusing how people assume he was looking at a book. He wasn't. He was jacking it to internet porn. Or some other naughty shiat he found on the library's computer. Because they have computers now. It's the 21st century.

Sometimes I miss working at the library. Then I remember the elderly gentleman that shiat his pants and tried to hide it by tucking them into his socks. Or the daily visits from the schizophrenic who insisted upon reciting scripture while using the computers to look at porn. Or the bum I discovered passed out half naked in the restroom next to a bottle of booze. Good times.
