Lets ban "virtual murder" as well. Watching images of "virtual murder" will only arouse murderers to commit the real thing. Every day thousands of virtual adults and children are virtually murdered in computer games and movies. </sarcasm>

Honestly though, Which is worse, sex or murder? If murder is worse then how can you justify having virtual murder legal and virtual sex illegal. This seems analagous to wanting to ban violent video games. I thought the conservative position was to hold individuals responsible for their own actions and not to blame it on TV or video games. Perhaps I was mistaken.

From my post right below yours:
"A wise man by the name of Godel( sorry I don't know how to do those funny dot thingys above the "o") would tell you why if he were still alive. "

I swear I didn't even plan that!

That is definitely the weirdest thing I've ever seen on FreeRepublic!

Child porn takes a human urge and twists it and explores in hideous detail all kinds of different sexual activities with children. Once one is exposed, because of the inborn sexual drive, it is like a drug. It creates an addict that is harder to satiate as time goes on.

The need to commit murders is not inborn in every human being, and is therefore not an appropriate comparison
