Moral Absolutes Ping.
Anyone surprised? Porn is destructive, and child porn even more destructive. In case anyone doesn't know this, the SCOTUS in its infinite wisdom /sarc off ruled some time ago that "virtual" child porn is legal. So it computer generated child porn is perfectly fine. As if sickos who are sexually aroused by children need any help. And by repeated exposure people get accustomed to sensual input. If anyone doubts this, just tell me why ads work and why people with more face time get elected. What you see, hear, read about and so on affect your mind. No doubt about it. Scientific fact.
That's why child porn including so-called "virtual" should be eliminated and the producers of such should be executed, distributers and users should be SEVERELY punished.
Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
And NAMBLA should be dismantled and its members criminally liable. For what, you ask? Oh, any number of offenses.
With all due respect to your excellent daily commentary, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal child porn law applied to actual, not virtual child porn. That is not saying that it is ok. It's just saying that the law doesn't ban virtual child porn. What should happen is that we should pressure congress to pass a more comprehensive law that includes virtual child porn.
