Be careful about photographing your kids!
"Alan Browne" "Alan wrote
I've read claims of the likelyhood that 40% of kiddie-porn users eventually 'have to have the real thing'. Wow... I'm surprised that 60% of pedophiles are strong-willed enough to control themselves. I'm quite certain that more than 40% of adult-porn users eventually have to "have the real thing". So, are you claiming that kiddie-porn causes people to rape children? I suppose you must also claim that adult-porn causes men to rape women, too. Interesting mind you have. |

They were all close to 18. ... I see nothing wrong with punishing those over 14 in the same way as others for the same crime. Why over 14? Do you really want 12-year-old murderers going free? No, but we have to determine where it becomes a crime of profit. It is rather unusual for someone under 14 to kill someone for gain. Note that it is VERY rare for someone to be sentenced to death unless the crime is one that promotes some kind of gain for the murderer. Those cases where multiple murders, or murders with outrageous violence, are usually committed by people who are insane, but not legally insane. The others are usually for some kind of gain. Those younger than 14 would at least be locked up for 7 years, then if they are deemed still a danger to society, they could be sent to an adult prison. In most cases, 12 year old murderers DO go free under out system. Reminds me of, "The Bad Seed"....A play on Broadway wherin a 10 year old girl pushes the old lady upstairs down the stairs to her death because she told the 10 year old that she would give her, "My canary when I die." When her mother told her that poor Mrs. xxx fell down the stairs and died, the little girl said, "Can I have the canary now?" We recently has a case in my area where a 12 year old girl and her 10 year old brother killed their 6 year old brother, and hid his body. Nothing was done to EITHER of them, and the courts didn't have to explain why because both of them were juveniles. Worse, the 6 year old was sexually tortured before being drowned... Sure hope those kids don't move in next to ME. |

Hey, they were old, and they did it willingly. |

I don't see any problem with eating people once they are dead. Are we sure he always waited..? If you do a google search on, "Jeffery Dahmer" you will be able to read all about it....... I have read more than enough on the subject. There is a quite scholarly work available to those who search Google about how to prepare a nice tender 10 year old for the table. I didn't get all the way through that one. |

I've read claims of the likelyhood that 40% of kiddie-porn users eventually 'have to have the real thing'. http://www.abc.net.au/news/justin/we...oct2003-26.htm You can read claims of just about anything by looking at the right Web sites. The 'virtual reality edition' of such kiddie-porn will not prevent that. Nor will it encourage it. So while allowing it might respect the free speech parts of various countries constitutions', it would remain morally reprehensible to allow it, and likely dangerous for children, whether the number is 40% or 4%. Why? Tell me that is "irrelevant". It is irrelevant. If the constitution of any country places free speech of that nature above the well being of children, then there lies a constituion worth spitting on. If people can't see the censorship disguised behind claims of "protecting children" (or any other group), they don't deserve to have freedom of speech in the first place. A recent case in Canada involved a fellow (John Sharpe) who reduced his pedophile fanatasies to 'written stories' and while found guilty on possession of images, he was acquitted on the stories he wrote as the had 'artistic merit'. This is the kind of horse**** interpretation courts are forced to make in the defence of free speech. How did writing stories cause any harm to children? Other legitimate writers include scenes of child abuse in their stories as part of the character and plot development. This is valid to protect legitimate writers...but leaves wiggle room for the perverts. How do you distinguish between "legitimate writers" and "perverts"? And why does it matter what people write? That has nothing to do with harming children, unless you hit them over the head with a hardcover edition of the writing. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

Why 12? Do you really want 10 year old murderers going free? At some point you are going to have to draw the line, and say that someone is just too young to really know what he was doing. - Draw it.....And stick to it.... There is strong evidence to indicate that even toddlers know that killing is wrong. It's something that people learn very early in life. That's why people don't routinely kill each other, not even in childhood. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |
