Re: My older step-cousin just got sentenced
You're awfully submissive to a highly counter-productive system that tends to create more harm than good. That's some serious conditioning man.

You have a very strange definition of what 'harm' means. Or is your defence here seriously "Well, the child was -already- harmed in the making of child porn, so it's not like someone buying/downloading/watching it is creating any MORE harm" because man, I don't even know what to tell you if that's how you think of this. |

Re: My older step-cousin just got sentenced
I don't see how that is incorrect. Watching someone who was murdered won't make them any more dead either. Although that is kind of the point of saying "directly" as opposed to "indirectly".

Re: My older step-cousin just got sentenced
I don't understand how it's such an outrageous position to hold that the possession of CP should be a severely punishable offense.

What about crazies that go shooting movie theaters up? They're mentally ill, do they deserve treatment too? Prison is rough generally speaking, but minimum security facilities are heaven compared to some places. Inmates get fed better than elementary school kids who rely on meal programs...and to some extent I agree with Arkuski here. A pedophile is certainly intelligent enough to understand that possession of child pornography is illegal, as do people who abuse drugs. They are willingly breaking the law knowing full well the consequences if they are caught...unlike a child who gets their hands on daddy's gun and shoots a family member; the child cannot grasp cause and effect.

Re: My older step-cousin just got sentenced
yes because abusing a child over and over for the sole purpose of pleasure and entertainment can be compared to ending someone's life

Re: My older step-cousin just got sentenced
On the subject of prison life in general, I don't think anyone deserves what happens in prisons. Prison is about rehabilitation and containment, not torture. I hate it when people are like "lol hope they have fun with Bubba in jail!", because they're basically saying "Rape/violence/possible death at the hands of fellow inmates as part of the punishment for the crime is a-ok!"
tl;dr: Prisons need serious reform. /thread hijack |

Re: My older step-cousin just got sentenced
Nobody is saying they should be rewarded, but they should be helped instead of left to rot in a jail where their psychological problems will only intensify to later on be released and let back out again into society.

Re: My older step-cousin just got sentenced
Maybe you all should do some research on crime and punishment in other countries...America has it tough boy *phew*
I agree though that law is subject to over-generalization a lot of the time and a lot of circumstantial details including mitigating and aggravating factors are taken out of the picture. It seems unfair to convict two very different people of the same offense and give them the same punishment...but it's the system we live in. Last edited by Dynam0; 12-1-2013 at 07:34 PM.. |

Re: My older step-cousin just got sentenced
Is that even relevant? The point is that viewing something doesn't directly cause what you are viewing and shouldn't be considered as serious. It's an exaggeration to point out the issue in that logic.

Re: My older step-cousin just got sentenced
By that logic, nudes of anyone taken or spread against their will would be a-ok since the harm is already done. The harm doesn't simply stop there, photos like that can haunt someone forever in their life. I'm also against the idea that murder videos are legal to watch, as the same shit happens for the family of the deceased, and the deceased him/herself can't even consent anymore.

Except that if 1000 people pay for that video it demonstrates a market which is profitable, which will encourage those people to -continue- to abuse children to make -more- child porn. So yes, I would go so far as to say that acquiring and watching child porn causes direct harm. If nobody bought it, nobody would make it. |
