Why is it not illegal to watch a rape video or a murder video, then? Watching that shows the same intent (I.E. none). It's as if jacking off to rape is ok, unless the victim is under 18. Pretty much just as bad.

It's the only law based on the slipper slope fallacy, and it's fascinating.

I'm sorry...ist not illegal to watch a rape video or a murder video?

Nope, as far as I know that's fine. I believe child porn is the only thing you can actually get in trouble for simply watching.

As long as you don't so something to support it watching someone be murdered is not a crime.

Well, the reason child porn is illegal should be obvious- it supports the industry and therefore harms children.

Making it, yes.

Buying it, yes.

Watching it? Maybe. Maybe not.

Why would you want to watch it?

I dunno.

I imagine there are plenty of possible reasons.

There's a really funny Doug Stanhope bit about child porn. Should look it up.

Point is, watching something doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to commit said act.

Being a pedophile should not be illegal. Molesting children should be (and is).

Yet watching the molestation of the Child for anything other than legitimate study is criminal.

If you find that entertaining. Then there is a problem.

However, I can see your point. Interesting.

Pedophilia isn't wrong because of "this" and "that" or because it makes you do those things. It's wrong because it's CHILD PORN. It's sick and wrong. There's no need for any argument or explanation...it shouldn't take an Einstein to tell you that much. The problem is not that pedophiles are some kind of persecuted minority. The problem is that there are people who somehow became dumb enough to think they are. Just because some group of people like pedophiles/furries/etc is not "white males" does not magically mean that they're "persecuted" or "oppressed".

That's a very flimsy defense for not being able to understand the issue.

Well I know for a fact that pedophiles are ostracized, victimized and can even be arrested for their sexual feelings. So you must believe that pedophiles are not in the minority.

What has brought you to such a conclusion?

Nah, he likes his men a bit on the worn out side. You know..second....to third hand.

I like sloppy seconds.

i do have moral problems with people getting off on videos of children being forced or explited or people being raped etc. on the other hand, i do not think simply WATCHING it can be or shud be made illegal. buying it on the other hand, or making it or distributing it{anything which fuels the industry or actually commits those actions} shud be banned. ofcourse this only really refers to porn with actual people involved, not loicon and stuff.

Pedophiles are supposed to be ostracized and victimized. We're talking about sick freaks, not rational human beings. "Sexual feelings"? Give me a ****ing break. Has the world gone mad?
