It's yours!<br /><br />The state has absolutely no authority to tell people they can't make child porn, but if parents protect their children, then where are they going to get the children for the porn?<br /><br />And if a parent does sell their child for child porn then that's no different than a parent giving their child alcohol, drugs, guns or selling them for prostitution or beating them or any of another hundred things that could be detrimental for the child.<br /><br />But the solution is never state force because the state will always do more harm than good. <br /><br />There is no utopia and bad people will always do bad things even to children. The best any society can do is to hope families care enough to intervene on the part of the child. <br /><br />- Don CooperAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-71286741566507049232015-01-29T20:21:07.263+09:002015-01-29T20:21:07.263+09:00Interesting how AoC laws once had their basis in m...Interesting how AoC laws once had their basis in mental maturity or end of peak fertility age (25ish), as well as the more familiar sexual maturity (13ish) age. <br /><br />I see the 20th-century upward movement of AoC to be about educational-time expectations enhanced by feminism, coupled with an increased willingness to abdicate parenting to the state. <br /><br />Meanwhile, (modified) nature has a laugh as the age of sexual maturity only slides downward. I wonder if drugs specifically for attenuating sexual response will be marketed to families with college-bound children.Robert Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593686137881482050noreply@blogger.com
