Should a man go to jail if he's caught with child porn in his house?

[Daz_Hockey]

Man, why is this thread dragging on?...if you download pictures of children nude in any way shape or form, you have serious problems and deserve to go to jail. Simple as that.

Downloading pictures is just one step on the way to performing the act yourself. Someone I am related to (although, luckily, he's not alive anymore) was imprisoned for child abuse, he never stopped, they sent him to prison, poured scolding water on him, regularly beat the crap out of him....and STILL he never stopped.

Do you want to know what made him stop in the end?...doesnt matter if you want to know or not, I'm going to tell you....he heard a very close relative of mine had found out he'd been keeping a stash of child porn and he was so scared of going back to jail...he had a heart attack and died.

And I dont feel any sympathy for the dirty depraved child molester and I'm just sad he didnt get the chance to get brutally beaten in jail again...and you know?.......





that was my grandfather....

(besides your continuous line of questioning makes me think perhaps you personally have something to hide)

 

[Toro]

Yes.

If there was no demand, there would be no child pornography, simple as that. Thus, hit those who demand what is illegal.

I'm not one of those who think that pornography leads to sexual crimes. Something like half the bandwidth usage on the Internet goes towards porn (or at least it was a few years ago) and there certainly hasn't been an explosion in sexual crimes around the world.

 

[fatbasturd]

I think i would insert my boot in his ass so hard and fast...that he would have no disire to look at children again for a very long time.
So in short...yes he should do jail time...lengthy time at that!

"Would you be ok with someone degrading you like that?"


No, but the only people I want to be punished are the people who actually did it to me. Not some one who happens to have a picture of it. Let me ask you a question. Do you eat meat?

What on earth does vegetarianism have to do with child molestation?

I seriously doubt you'd be ok with some sicko getting his jollies out of your degradation.

 

[eh1eh]

That should answer you question Raw? Better delete those photos.

 

[L Gilbert]

A child had to pose for that picture. Does this really need explaination?

Apparently for some people it does require explaining.

I think it was an exersise in Trolling.

Or trying to justify his own collection.

 

[TenPenny]

Without hiding behind the "it's the law" excuse like the other guys TenPenny, please explain why he should go to jail.

Because, by downloading the pictures the person (male or female) is participating in the child abuse. People who download child porn are guilt of exploitation and even complicit in murder of children. They should either be in jail, or dead. You pick.

 

[m_levesque]

Yes, but in this case, the guy hasn't hurt anyone. All he has is a picture he downloaded.

It seems fairly clear to me you're not a parent. Hasn't hurt anyone? Let me be blunt, since we're all adults here. If I caught you whacking off to pictures of my children, you'd pray they'd take you to jail.
Straight enough for you to understand?

 

[DurkaDurka]

Yes, but in this case, the guy hasn't hurt anyone. All he has is a picture he downloaded.

By downloading that crap he is supporting the people who produce it.

 

[DurkaDurka]

"Plus, it's men like this (those who "just" download pictures) who are the cause of those pictures being posted on the internet in the first place."


I'll disagree with that. If no one ever downloaded child porn, the molesters would still post those pictures anyway and they'd still hurt children. It the actual child molesters that are the cause of those pictures, not the man with the bad taste.

Looking at Child Porn is not "bad taste", it's an indicator of being a pedophile. Seriously, are you retarded?

Nope, He's a troll.

Pretty much exactly as my husband would say, and with my full support. Even looking at children in sexually provocative ways is sick. Downloading them from the internet is as bad as if they were in person. It perpetuates the industry, and the abuse of children.You're right, the original poster cannot possibly be a parent!

I'm thinking you're right. No sane, rational adult could possibly try and justify Child Pornography...unless of course it is his own passion too???

If you eat meat then you're supporting the killings of millions of innocent creatures. And I wouldn't be ok if some sicko got his jollies from my degradation, but I don't think he should go to prison for that. And I think it's hillarious that some of you are flamming me and accusing me of being a monster when all I'm doing is arguing from the other side. How dare I not go ape if someone says a guy shouldn't go to prison for just having a sick picture that he didn't take himself.

So what's wrong with that? I eat meat, I expect lots of other people do, I have no problem with "innocent creatures" being slaughtered for meat. I don't expect children to be sexually abused, though, and I'm not sure how you connect the two.

People caught in possession of child porn, even if it's "just downloaded", should go to prison for 5-10 years. Those found guilty of making child porn should go to prison for life, or be shot.

 

[Zzarchov]

are you looking for one of to say that it is morally unacceptable, so you can make a connection between this and your feelings on abortion?

Ok I'll bite...

Because of the physical and life long damage to the children abused, to make such filth, the majority of our society find it so reprehencable that it was made into a law.

As a parent I find it actually just sickening and gross, that someone finds an under developed, child, sexually attractive.

Ug, ok, lets play devils advocate here.

Assume the picture is either hand drawn or made with photoshop to look real. Should he still go to jail? No Child was harmed.

My response is yes, but for a different reason. As there is no inclination in Canada to research treatments to alter someones sexual preference (since it could be used not only to alter faulty sexual preferences like this one, but alter healthy sexual preferences like heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality) there is no cure. Sooner or later this person will break down and commit the crime. A lifetime is along time to go without sex as it registers in their brain.

So if we aren't willing to offer treatment, then we need to isolate them so they don't harm the most vulnerable members of society.

So then yes, we should lock them up even if no one was harmed, even if he's just sketching Child Porn for himself with pen and paper.

 

[Rawisbetter!]

So you don't think it's wrong that millions of innocent creatures are being killed, but you think a guy who whacks off to a picture of a half-naked child that he didn't do anything to should go to prison. .....................ok.
