@BillRM,
Quote:his whole subject remind me of a college student who posted one hell of a sickening rape/torture fantasy on a newsgroup...
Do not confuse adult pornography with child pornography or obscene material involving children, as you are doing. They are governed by quite different laws, for quite different reasons. Your thinking, on almost every topic, is quite sloppy--not exactly a hallmark of intelligence or even of someone who is able to keep the facts straight.
Quote:Law enforcement had far more important tasks then to police fantasies of any type...
Except they are
not policing "fantasies" they are policing actual
images of an obscene sexual nature depicting children, which are being distributed, collected, and shared. And this is being done in many countries around the globe, not just in the U.S. The effort against child pornography, including these obscene and offensive drawn images, is being done on an international scale.
The fact you think they are policing "fantasies" simply reflects your lack of understanding of the topic, and your usual "junk thinking".
Why do you keep re-posting material on this topic which has previously been posted, more than once, including in previous posts by you? You're the only one who doesn't seem to understand these laws, or the fact they have been in effect for some time, and that convictions under these laws have already been obtained, including in the U.S..You'd be better advised to stop re-posting this material and spend more time reading it, and trying to understand the topic--you're the one clearly in need of an education.
And, in the U.S., and elsewhere, the penalties for obtaining and possessing this material are considerably less harsh than they are for images which show real children being abused--which is as it should be.
One concern is that this type of "cartoon" obscenity creates a demand for more child pornography with real children, and another is that it desensitizes the viewer to sexuality, violence, bestiality, etc. that involves children, and consequently makes it appear more acceptable---the same objections that are raised with virtual child pornography.
Your postings, which are highly repetitive, do nothing but reflect your ignorance, both of actual laws and their enforcement. You stopped having anything new to say on this topic quite early in this thread and, since then, it's been nothing but repetition of the same few opinions you have regarding the length of sentences being handed out in child pornography cases, and your empathy for those who are charged with violating these laws because they incur high legal fees, have their "useful" lives destroyed by incarcerations, their children suffer by losing their fathers, the prisons are too crowded and expensive to run etc.. You just repeat those same few opinions over and over and over and over.
You never acknowledge that these people got themselves into their legal predicament by knowingly violating laws which carry harsh penalties, and that they are responsible for such actions. They risk and forfeit their own freedom when they violate criminal laws. Most of all, you show no appreciation,
at all of how these criminals contribute to the continuing sexual exploitation and abuse of children--your heart bleeds only for the offender. And that's the reason your comments are pretty much ignored--except to elicit insults from other posters, because of what such comments reflect about you as a person, and what's reflected about you isn't particularly appealing or worthy of respect.
