they really should do what they experimented on in denmark, they gave repeated sex offenders and option, the entire sentance in jail, no chance of parole or to have all sexual tendencies removed with chemicals and get probation

I have never been so filled with hatred in my life until I had to view the evidence for a child pornography case today. The attorney needed assistance in locating information on some of the information contained in the pictures, so unfortunately, I had to view the evidence. I could literally kill someone right now because of what I just had to see. Rage is the only word that can begin to explain what I feel at this moment.

Has anyone else had the misfortune of assisting in such a thing? I need some moral support right now.

God no. I hope I never need to either.

There are some sick fvckers out there. They need to be killed.

I'd rather pedophiles get their kicks from porn than getting out there molesting kids.

Oh, that is just brilliant.:roll:

There is the theory that kiddie pr0n only creates demand for the real thing...

while in a sense i agree. BUT still takeing pictures of kids nude does still harm them. Some guys get off on the pictures but still want the young kids for real sex and they may fulfill the fantasy.

There is also a "theory" that Marijuana is a gateway drug.

Wow. People were saying the same thing about homosexuals 50 years ago!

Killing and hating is not the answer, or did nobody learn from Jesus or Ghandi or MLK Jr.? Child molesters are sick in the head for some reason, lacking some emotional component. There are other ways to examine the issue, but how can you do that if pedophiles are scared for their freedom, lives, and testicles?

What, do you think the pictures are cg? If nothing else the victims of child molestation are physically depicted in child pornography.

Same concept IMO.

They should definitely prosecute those who take the pictures, or molest children, but just having photos on your computer should not be getting the punishments that some here are suggesting.

I think would-be child molestors will eventually molest a child, irrespective of whether or not they find kiddie porn. The porn is merely a symptom.

Of course possession of child porn doesn't necessarily mean you're a child molestor, but from what I understand 95% of the time it's the case. Addictive personalities, escalating acts, blah blah blah....

On a lighter note that may hopefully bring people out of the intense depression this thread is no doubt bringing, try looking at some kitty porn. See? It's cute. And not depraved. (Happy thoughts, happy thoughts)

odd that they had you do this.

What the hell does it matter if they are under 15? Do you think that maybe some of the participants in this type of porn do it against their will even if they are over 15? There are adult women out there in the world that are forced to be used as sex toys. It doesn't matter what age.

Well, did the guy take those pics, or is he molesting those kids in the pics? We shouldn't be encouraging it, but at the same time some punishments suggested here or given in reality are outrageous and a waste of taxpayer money.

I think that if you had kids (or if you do have kids) you wouldn't want your next door neighbor to be taunted by a hard drive full of child porn.
 
Neil Bortz loves to ask this question of radical-right conservatives who call up, complaining that homosexuals should be burned at the stake. That question is, "At what age did you decide your sexual orientation? What day did you wake up and say, I'm gonna like girls instead of boys?"

No, most people can't answer that question because they just grew up being attracted to this or that. Who is to say pedophiles aren't the same way? That doesn't make their preference right, and yes, acting on those preferences should have its consequences, but who are we to judge whether or not these people have control over their preferences?

I'm not sure that's even the question at hand. Psycopaths see no wrong in their violent crime, yet they are punished for their actions.
This is a debate over incarceration versus rehabilitation, and goes beyond the scope of just pedophilia.

So we should throw anyone we don't like as our neighbors in jail and throw away the key?
I still think even having a terrobyte of child porn is nowhere near as bad as molesting a single kid. Not even close, not by a longshot, and should receive punishment proportionate to the crime, not sending people away for life for having some jpgs on their hard drive.

The going theory is that pedophiles are, in fact, "wired from birth". Alas, there's no medications to suppress those desires.

Hell, I think science holds that pretty much all sexual prefferences are "wired from birth". But that's an entirely different discussion.
