Free mints? because the circus wasn't in town so you thought you'd just be a loser and waste your money? Couldn't have been to get advice and help dealing with emotional issues. Of course not. |

Must have been since it was at school and it was free. On the side they were selling lollipop condoms for a dollar |

I'm sorry, but I just have to respond to this because, well I DID answer your question. I even provided a totally awesome analogy. Let me try and sum it up again: society doesn't encourage something by letting it be legal. Cigarettes are legal, but everywhere society is telling you not to smoke or to get help in quitting. I'm not going to comment on the counseling issue because I've never been to a psychiatrist, and I don't know anyone who has. I really don't know very much about psychology. |

I agree, it's about time to lock it
You mean that small sentence? If real child porn is illegal, wouldn't they make animated child porn illegal also? It may be something society doesn't encourage but it's hypocritical to allow the real stuff banned but not the animated when it causes the same affect on people. People are still jerking off to the animated stuff as they do to the real stuff. Now that everything is clear, I'm not going to reply again. |

No, don't lock it just yet, I'm still waiting on a proof from Porcupine.
EDIT:
Child pornography isn't illegal because people jerk off to it, it's illegal because the child is a sexual victim. There is no such victim in the creation of animated child pornography (at least not inherently - I believe that animations based on a real child are also illegal), so it's not illegal. "Ew, gross" is not a sufficient legal base for making something illegal. Last edited by Kilgamayan on Sat Aug 25, 2007 12:08 pm; edited 1 time in total |

You're making the illogical assumption that child porn is banned due to its "influence" rather than what is necessary to make it. Which if true, would mean rape porn and 'fake' child porn with young looking actresses pretending to be underage would also be banned. But they aren't. Violent video games also haven't yet been banned.
It's pointless arguing with you because you continue to ignore very basic facts and continue to pull out "facts" with no real proof. "Oh, a couple of people did this, so clearly all pedophiles are like this" |

Then why are people classified as sex offenders when they have possession of child porn? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/5389756.stm There, not all paedophiles go after child. Besides, I didn't say all paedophiles were like that I just showed proof that child porn isn't enough. |

Problem is, then it just seeps into other threads bringing them down and off topic. I know I have already had to redirect people to here because they were bringing it up in another thread. Better to just let it get out of their system and have one place to do it, instead of them randomly bringing it up in other threads trying to get a bite. Also I am sure Zac would have locked this if he wanted too as he has no problem locking threads. Just because a thread makes you want to blow your brains out doesn't necisarrily mean lock, although it could mean both. In other words he would have done it by now. |

Because it's illegal and that's the law. Keep in mind that the law isn't necessarily always "right" and can at times be really wierd. After all, laws change because people disagree with them, so using legality as an argument for what *should* be or anything outside of whether something is legal, can be a weak argument.
*sometimes" isn't enough. Once again, you use an individual to prove a trend or a sweeping statement. Yep, Columbine proves violent video games aren't enough, eventually they'll need to kill to satisfy themselves. |

This tread is going in circles, but as long as people still want to post they should keep it open. Maybe Zac should join this tread too. If he does mistress_reebi will finally have some allies and not have to go it alone.

Kilgamayan, I have absolutely no proof of that. However there is also little to no proof that counseling is a scientific and smart profession. In any case, I'm glad to see that my attacks upon psychologists and counseling practices have finally gotten some wrath lol. I'm not sure continuing that discussion is a good thing here though, so I think it's best that some of us just agree to disagree on the virtues of counseling. |
