It is psychologically a very different crime. While that sounds logical enough, the reality, first of all, the movies portray murder that you know is fake. They obviously don't actually show a murder, and while the drama is good it is clearly fake. The child porn stuff is different, imo, and it is more like alcohol on the brain for the warped minds who even want to view it.

I think freedoms need to be kept in balance and not simply reduced to the lowest form possible. I've heard the argument plenty of times that "we must tolerate that because otherwise the government will take ALL freedom away." Hogwash. When it comes to the freedom of the Boy Scouts, they nearly lost with a closer vote than the one referenced above. The more moral the freedom choice the less our current political definition of "freedom" supports you. The more outrageous, the better chance you have.

Freedom does not mean we must act like animals without the ability to reason and think. A little moral common sense and judgement does not mean totalitarianism. Freedom works both ways and I'm tired of it always protecting the criminal first, or the immoral scum bag.
