Is it wrong to view child pornography?

what bothers me about this thread is that, the victim is sacrificed in order for those who desire this kind of abuse, the victim is never the same and is robbed of any self esteem for the rest of their life where is the victims psychology of importance here ? has it become okay to destroy the victim for sexual want ? it is so and is this another example of the ME generation ? its all about me , the consequences don't matter, I think it has, and its shamful to the extreme

I try to put myself into the mind of such a child actor, by remembering myself in childhood. It did not occur to me to raise funds by offering my services in that endeavor ( indeed, I did not work at all, not needing additional cash ), but it seems to me that if I had accepted that job, I 'd not have been "sacrificed" nor woud my self esteem have been affected, neither then nor now, many decades later.

so you weren't abused

I have never been abused in any way that I can remember. I was interested in the reasoning of your post, as to WHAT u had in mind, in a specific sense. Do u choose to reveal what u believe happens in this regard ?

it all about the abuser its the "me " generation from the sixties, thats the way I look at it anyway

The ME Generationwas supposed to be the1980s: the Reagan Era.

How about a THOUGHT EXPERIMENT: (Thay are fun.)
Let 's imagine that I can and do go back in time
to when I was 1O years old. I discover that
instead of enjoying sex for free, I can get a job
that PAYSme for it, with photografy involved.

I agree with the photografer in regard to compensation,
maybe $2OO an hour and we proceed with erotic entertainment.
At the end of the day, he pays me and I go on my way.

As u see it: HOWdoes the "sacrifice"and the negative
self esteem become involved

Do agrote's ideas remind anyone else of OmSigDavid's crazy notion
that if only more people had guns there would be less people getting shot?

You're so OCD about guns that you replied to a four-year-old comment?

I'm beginning to think you've got dementia,
and your gun programming is the only thing keeping you going.

I like living in a rude society, where people behave normally,
and if I give someone the V sign for cutting me up, they won't blow my head off.

It's apocryphally linked to the Battle of Agincourt.

Right... that's why the Thomas Jefferson never wrote the Declaration of Independence
and the US is still a colony... because we all still buy into the divine right of kings.

That's why we still have slavery, and black people only count as 3/5 of a person.

The story goes that because the Eglish longbow was so effective the French would remove the first two fingers
of any bowman they captured.

So the archers would make the V sign to show they could still fire a longbow.

Well done for spotting the right king.
