Looking at pictures has no effect on the children. The other day a kid was charged with being a terrorist for drawing a picture of a gun. I'm going out on a limb here and suggesting a picture of a gun is not actually a gun. Pictures are actually nothing more than what they are, that is pictures. Pictures are not the real thing they are images.
Lets put people in jail for the real thing. I have no problem with that.
NO, I DO NOT HAVE ANY CHILD PORN NOR DO I HAVE THE LEAST BIT OF RESPECT FOR THOSE WHO DO.
Patronizing things that feature the sexual torture of children supports those things. If you support things that feature the sexual torture of children you support the sexual torture of children.
Paying for child porn increases the incentive for it to be produced. Paying makes you an accessory by giving the ‘producers’ the means and motivation to commit a crime. You’re paying for cameras, sets, ‘actors’, etc.
REAL kids are being raped because of guys like this paying for the images. If there was nobody paying, kids would not be raped for profit.
It is difficult to go after producers in other countries so the demand has to be stopped here.
