Yes, I do get your point, and that is why you won't be allowed to vote for another three years. It's called "maturity" and "life-experience",
something the law gives you time to collect before allowing you to meddle with it.

No, that is not what many peple are saying. That is what YOU want them to be saying, but that's because you can only think in didactic forms.
to wit...

Robbie,
Your "it's people like you post" was one of the most self-righteous, condescending pieces of crap I've ever read on ATS.
Nice strong opening. Certainly judgemental and only slightly self-righteous, but for the real irony, why don't you open mouth and insert both feet?
This issue has zero to do with artistic expression, or drawing a conclusion that nude photos of prepubescent girls are sexual vs.
artistic.
Not at all condescending or in any way correct.
The issue has everything to do with protecting the welfare of minor children so that they will not be exploited for financial gain
See, that bit is actually true. That is the reason the images were pulled. But, that is only the beginning of the issue, not the end of the issue. And
this
by placing them in a position to strip naked and be photographed so their guardians, and a guy with a camera who calls himself an "artist",
can pocket some extra spending money.
is so perfectly self-righteous that it takes the sweet, baked flour product. Talk about editorialising. You continually trot this emotionally-charged,
intellectually-feeble crap out in your determination to paint Henson and anyone who defends him as a pseudo-paedophile or tacit supporter of such
while depicting the Nazis supressing artistic expression as living saints.
"It's people like you" who actively make public discourse on sensitive subjects impossible. It's people like you who deliberately miscast the
facts of issues to achieve an emotional end. It's people like you who make the world a duller, greyer and poorer place to live.
As for societies in deep trouble, the Taliban had things to say about art, too.
