Would you get upset?

That's the sort of response I would expect from someone who considers watching child pornography a victimless crime.

Yes...you said it.... "women AMONG THEMSELVES." Never have I been with a man and said "Oh, WOW!~ Look at the bulge in HIS pants! Damn! Let me get a PICTURE of THAT!" Of course...MOST of my relationships were pre-cell phone, but blatantly looking and making comments is the same thing. As a veteran of this sort of crap, it is rude and disrespectful and it tells the person you are with that they are worthless and not enough for you. More and more I am thankful to be old and done . My late husband was the only man who EVER respected me. I'm sorry but as a whole, you guys suck. Period.

By the end of this year, after a review dating to 2009, the U.S. Sentencing Commission plans to release a report that's likely to propose changes to the sentencing guidelines that it oversees. It's a daunting task, given the polarized viewpoints that the commission is weighing.

The issue "is highly charged, both emotionally and politically," said one of the six commissioners, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell.

On one side of the debate, many federal judges and public defenders say repeated moves by Congress to toughen the penalties over the past 25 years have badly skewed the guidelines, to the point where offenders who possess and distribute child pornography can go to prison for longer than those who actually rape or sexually abuse a child. In a 2010 survey of federal judges by the Sentencing Commission, about 70 percent said the proposed ranges of sentences for possession and receipt of child pornography were too high. Demonstrating their displeasure, federal judges issued child porn sentences below the guidelines 45 percent of the time in 2010, more than double the rate for all other crimes.

On the other hand, some prosecutors and members of Congress, as well as advocates for sexual-abuse victims, oppose any push for more leniency. At a public hearing in February, the Sentencing Commission received a victim's statement lamenting that child pornography offenders "are being entertained by my shame and pain."

"They need to be taught how much pain they inflict and a greater term of imprisonment will teach them that, (and) will comfort victims seeking justice," the victim said. "I don't believe that short periods of imprisonment will accomplish these things."

Once completed, the Sentencing Commission report will be submitted to Congress, which could shelve it or incorporate its recommendations into new legislation.

Already, the commission has conveyed some concerns. In a 2010 report on mandatory minimum sentences, the commission said the penalties for certain child pornography offenses "may be excessively severe and as a result are being applied inconsistently."

However, similar misgivings voiced by the commission in previous years failed to deter Congress from repeatedly ratcheting up the penalties — including legislation in 2003 that more than doubled average sentences for child pornography crimes.

Many of the offenses carry a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison, and the guidelines call for additional penalties — known as enhancements — based on a range of factors, such as the age of the children depicted in the imagery and whether a computer was used in the crime. As of last year, the median sentence was seven years.

Then we need to up the sentences for killing and assaulting children

You used ghe phrase victimless crime, that is a lie.

It shows your attitude towards women and children.

You can hide behind as many judges and legal definitions as you want, but there's no escaping what you are.

Maybe those judges need to be locked up.

So you know that an adult raping a child is wrong, but just watching an adult rape a child is not that big of a deal?
