It's past time for a contrarian viewpoint.

How about we legalize child porn? The vast majority of the time when it gets brought up is in the context of using it as a pretext to attack civil liberties of law abiding citizens.

When there is a child porn arrest it almost always ends up being a honey trap run by the FBI using decades old photos, so it's not like there are many children being protected by these laws.




Do you have numbers to back that up? I don't have that impression. But maybe our equivalent of the FBI is not as active in setting up honey traps.


Sounds like a paedophile's rationalisation...


You spelled paedophile the right way. sounds like you know a lot about it...


Thanks.
