1349: Six Years Down

[Blitzgal]

From what I've read on Gawker, the kiddie porn book included explicit photos of the author touching children. It was NOT just "words."

It's also why I do not accept the rationalization that viewing kiddie porn images is a victimless crime. Real children are assaulted to create the images that other pedophiles share. So frankly I don't give a shit if guy A only looks at pictures on the internet. He is creating a market in which guy B exploits and assaults children to provide the product that guy A wants.

he said he was dating Kat with a quick little comment at the end of a show...I think he is married and his twitter is a red herring. Is there a way you can accidentally say you're married when you aren't married?

He said ALL OF THAT on the show? I must have missed it...where did he SAY THAT ON THE SHOW? Funny, how I just believe things out of the air with no one actually SAYING it...yes, ON THE SHOW.

oh ok, thanks for clearing that up, for a while there I couldn't figure out why you would infer I was stupid for believing something Keith said because I tend to believe people when they state facts and was basing my thoughts on previous experiences.

Allowable.

Two things...

1) If there are pictures of naked kids in the book, agreed that that is worse and more worthy of being illegal than just words. (But then I would still say, why is it "obscenity laws," and not "child pornography laws," unless that is indeed what it is, in which case I'm on board.)

2) What do you think about the idea of computer-generated pictures of naked kids? Where real children are NOT assaulted. (Sort of the opposite of an organic, free range, locally grown situation--all artificial, no children were harmed in the making of this porn.) I believe that stuff exists and that there have been legal battles over whether it should be allowable. (It would probably be easy for me to google it in the time it takes for me to say how easy it would be, but I didn't. Thoughts or facts, anyone?)

I still have a problem with kiddie porn if it is animated. Can't it just be one of those things where everyone agrees that it is really wrong and shouldn't be depicted in any way? It seems to encourage the thought that it is ok.

I'm trying to think of a comparable and I can't. Even cruelty to animals isn't a crime if it is only animated. Child porn is just on its own level and even when animated is very wrong. WRONG, Myq Kaplan!
