Uhg... here we go again.
I'll try to remain cordial... for the sake of the OP.
imaginary reality, yes, if find it incredible that one can find real child porn wrong and yet defend a mock up of same.
Have you ever watched a movie where someone is murdered?
By your logic, you are to be convicted of killing the person who was portrayed as murdered.
Fantasy does not equal reality.
I find it incredible that you are unable to distinguish between Reality and Fantasy.
With child porn, the CHILDREN are in a position to be harmed.
With DRAWINGS of the same, no children are involved.
No victim = No crime.
I know that you FEEL that it should be a crime...
But we do not make laws based upon your FEELINGS.
Why can't you get that?
We punish ACTIONS, not feelings or thoughts.
And we only punish ACTIONS that HARM others.
The very concept of making a drawing illegal is so unconditionally Tyrannical that you should problem be arrested for even promoting such an idea.
But I (unlike you) am fundamentally opposed to legislating ideas, speech, beliefs, and perceptions.
Free speech and freedom of expression have to have responsible limitations.
Are you going to be responsible for yourself, or would you chose to have an outside agency determine what your responsibility SHOULD be?
What you are doing, whether you know it or not... is GIVING UP your responsibility, because you do not want to act like an adult.
You do not want to take responsibility for your own actions, and you don't think that anyone else should either.
You want the Government to treat us like children, and make all decisions FOR us.
I have morals, just as you do....
IT is not your right to define MY morals FOR me.
They are *MY* morals... get it?
On the other hand you are suggesting that there be free availability of this for anyone
Is pornography available to everyone?
IS Beer freely available to everyone?
are Cigarettes freely available to everyone?
Or is a minimum age required?
Or are these things ALLOWED, but REGULATED?
You assertion of what you think my position is, is quite erroneous and trite.
To disagree with your position "Drawings of child porn should be illegal"
is NOT the same as saying "Drawings of child porn should be freely distributed"
Your argument, ONCE AGAIN, is ridiculous, childish, and obtuse.
which as I have stated stimulates and feed the appetite of those who may have less control over their lives.
Are you saying that they should not be held accountable for their choices?
Once again, correlation does not imply causation.
Your inability to realize this makes your arguments a mere repetition of unintelligible noises, akin to a parrot.
Alcohol stimulates violent tendencies in cases of domestic abuse.
Does this mean that alcohol CAUSES abuse?
No, it does not, and to claim this (which is your logic) is absurd and childish.
Edrick, don’t you think that there is a vast difference between sexually stimulation pictures or drawing and picture of
atrocities?
I do not like Gay sex.
I find drawings of Gay sex to be.... somewhat atrocious.
To Gay people, this is sexual stimulating.
Are you saying that just because *YOU* don't like a particular thing, than it is necessarily *EVIL*?
You are claiming more moral authority than you actually wield (which is closer to none)
This is presumptuous, Self Centered, Arrogant, and not to mention, Rude.
How dare you assume to wield moral authority over the world... this is not your place.
Isn’t it obvious that people are too weak to resist mental manipulation? Manipulation is the story of man’s history. Sexual stimulation is
at the top of the advertizing media’s ploys.
It is our inherent right to believe whatever we wish.
If it is your choice to believe that there is a magical man in the sky, who non-consensually knocked up a peasant girl to give birth to his son, to
die for OUR sin of not believing this magic sky man's original LIE in the garden of Eden...
then that is your choice.
I will not take that away from you.
IT is not my right to outlaw YOUR belief, just because *I* do not believe in it.
Nor is it YOUR right to outlaw ANOUTHER's belief.
Propaganda has been over-riding free will since the beginning of time.
According to MOST religions, all *OTHER* religions are JUST propaganda or lies.
No one has the right to make a belief illegal just because they do not agree with it.
Shaking head, (sigh), Edrick, don’t you think that it is obvious that one would have to be predisposed to molesting children in order to be
influenced by the porn?
Well, if they are already predisposed to molesting children, how is banning a DRAWING of child porn going to stop them from wanting to molest
children?
Ther real question here should be:
Why exactly should we cater to the depravities of the lowest among us?
What do you mean by "Why should we cater to them"?
WE ARE NOT CATERING TO THEM $%#^&$
They are catering to THEMSELVES!!!!!!!
Is there a Child porn animation studio funded by taxpayer dollars that I don't know about?
IF not... I do not see how *WE* are contributing to this.
Last time I checked, they drew this #$%^ themselves.
How does this help to make us a kinder, gentler more enlightened society?
By not believing that it is our place to tell other people WHAT TO THINK!
