I said I wasn't going to post after last night, but this is my last post:
1. Collin and I are not the only people to have these views. Are we the majority opinion? By no means, no. However, there are many people that do feel the way we do. It's just a government issue thing. You talk about all the children that are harmed, but you guys care not about the many people that are harmed every day living in a world that doesn't accept them because they are different. A guy who is attracted to young children can't even facilitate one of the human's post basic desires with porn, and we think we are doing good by it. Fine, no already made stuff, no current stuff, but I see no, absolutely zero, reason to stop CGI stuff. You talk about the children so much you forget about the adults.
2. You guys talk about "knowing" the pictures are out there would result in more mental anguish. A few things here, one, I don't disagree. Two, the fact of the matter is that they will be out there regardless, it is just a matter of whether or not it is legal. And three, the odds of someone looking at your personal picture with a myriad of pictures, videos, etc. to look at is slim.
3. There is positive correlation with child pornography and sex abuse. In fact, it is just the opposite. A study done a few years ago found that of a couple hundred people arrested for child porn, 1% of them actually committed a hands on sexual abuse. You guys are demonizing an entire people for 1% of sick dudes. I could say the same thing about fundamentalist religious people or terrorists, or any of that, and many people would agree with me. And lastly, I repeat, as the legality of child porn (and porn in general) increases, the number of sexual abuse acts decreases, and by a large margin.
Here is what happened to crime when Czechoslovakia split between the Czech Republic and Slovakia and porn became legal:
Now here is crimes in general. Everything went up, except sexual cases:
And here are crimes compared between sexual and non sexual causes:
These results are not limited to the Czech Republic, they can also be found in Denmark, Sweden, Germany, the US, Japan, China, Croatia, and Finland.
Usually, I would pussy out and say I'm sorry if I offended anyone in an instance like this, but I'm really not. I deeply feel what I'm saying, and you guys can call me all sorts of names, look down on me, call me stupid, dumb, horrible, and I don't care. I have presented cold hard facts that try to "prove" my point. Masturbating to child pornography in America, and around most of the world today, is thought crime, and I don't like it. You guys can think whatever you want of me.
Now, I really will stop positing.
