Previous Entry  Add to memories!  Tell a Friend!  Next Entry

Over at the libertarianism community on ElJay, [info]lefthandedninja asks, "Do you think possessing child pornography should be a crime?"  in reaction to this article.  (Apparently, instead of turning in his final exam, some dumbass turned in a CD full of child porn.)

Fantastic.

[info]kadeshaderow gets things started off the right way by asking, "Are you fucking retarded?" and then continues to splooge all over the place.  (Now with bolding and underlining action!) 

The wank then moves on to whether or not the age of consent is arbitrary, and whether that even pertains to the subject at hand since the CD turned in contained pictures of very young children.

[info]vox_soli feels the need to tl;dr to the max about how she is an anarchist and actually SAYS, "I more or less think that it's okay as long as the child in question has a sufficiently mature understanding of the whole idea of sexuality to consent and there isn't any question of coercion or undue influence from an authority figure."   She, [info]cyclotron, and [info]ragnarok20 go on to have a nice healthy debate over whether or not you can define a law if you don't actually believe in laws.

But!  [info]ragnarok20 simply cannot take this lying down!  Instead of replying on the first post, he has to make a whole new post about how big of an idiot [info]kadeshaderow is.

Thankfully, this post looks semi splooge-free at the moment, but the second the usual suspects show up, it'll explode, mark my words.

Do you think possessing child pornography should be a crime?

If not, why?

If so, how do you reconcile that with your libertarian beliefs?


WTF? Do Libertarians seriously believe that it shouldn't be criminal to have (and , thus, create a demand for) child pornography? I just don't see how there's anything irrational about failing to see how allowing people to posess child pornography is a live and let live kind of situation.

"No, it doesn't cause any harm to anyone to just possess it"

Right, because the CHILDREN in the PORN that's being possessed at all haven't been harmed at all in making it.

The logic is not strong with that one.

How is it EVER "okay" to POSSESS that stuff? If you possess it then that means somewhere some poor little kid suffered to MAKE it. Doesn't hurt anyone my fucking ass.

Sorry, any of the abovementioned fuckwits who actually take the "it's okay to possess" stance are the recipients of the Seal of EXTREME FAIL.

(Apparently, instead of turning in his final exam, some smartass turned in a CD full of child porn.)

Not defending his actions in any way at all, but since he turned it in accidentally according to the original article, then how is he a smartass? Incredibly sick, yeah, but not exactly smart anything.

And I keep thinking this should have been about horse porn, not child porn. OTF broke my brain.

ragnarok20 loses big time for accusing someone of behaving like the religious right because she said her objection to people owning child pornography was based on ethics, not law

So, only the religious right are allowed to have ethics now? *scratches head*

[info]vengeance_bean

Marijuana is currently illegal, and to some for good reasons. Hemp comes from the same plant. Buying hemp therefore encourages the growth of this plant, and encourages the growt of marijuana. Therefore buying or possessing hemp should be illegal.

Okay, now, let's put "child pornography" in there as the commenter intends...

...

...anything but child porn come from taking pictures/video of children being exploited sexually?

This comm has done everything possible to kill my sex drive lately. Not even Oded Fehr's magnificent ass in Deuce Bigelow could arouse me. And if that doesn't work for me, nothing will. Curse you, otf_wank!

I will concede their right to possess child pornography, if they will concede my right as a parent and former victim of child molestation to torture them to death. I've got several ideas that just might end in the perverts begging for the justice that these idiots are begging to restrict.

[info]kadeshaderow is being wanky as hell, but I'm completely on their side. Are these people idiots? If you wanna talk about the arbitrary consent age regarding teen poronography fine then don't use a case preface that involves prepubescent pornography, dumbfuck.

"I more or less think that it's okay as long as the child in question has a sufficiently mature understanding of the whole idea of sexuality to consent and there isn't any question of coercion or undue influence from an authority figure."

The depressing thing is that I've actually heard that argument being used in my presence, along with "I'm only trying to help this poor child by providing emotional presence/I really care for them/I'm a subtitute for their neglectful family."

Now I remember why I went quite depressed two years ago, hanging around those sort of people.

Wank about someone in possession of child pornography, and it's not about my high school science teacher? I'm not sure whether to be relieved or worried.

Of course the age of consent is arbitrary. It has to be, because it has to be the same in all cases. If it wasn't, it'd have to be decided on a case by case basis, and how would you prove in a court of law that someone was or wasn't mentally mature enough to give meaningful consent to having sex? Plus, the behind prosecuting someone for statutory rape is that the adult is mentally mature enough to realize that they shouldn't have sex with someone who's mentally immature, which is why you don't prosecute two 15 year olds for statutory rape for having sex with each other. If you decided on a case by case basis, in the case of a very mentally mature 14 year old having sex with a mentally immature 16 year old would you have to prosecute the 14 year old for statutory rape? And... well, it'd just be a tangled nightmare to do it that way.

...Honey child, are you familiar with the phrase "contradiction in terms"?
