Gov't Report on Youth, Pornography, And The Internet

Posted by timothy on from the goldurn-interweb dept.

Frisky070802 writes "I don't recall seeing this already, nor am I finding it when searching for it ... the National Academies commissioned a report on how youths are affected by child pornography, predators, and other threats on the net. They've issued a 400-page report on their findings, which are very extensive, and were used to support the argument for the new kids.us domain."

    Whats wrong with Child Porn? Its a act of nature, and should not be banned. If God didnt intend for us to sleep with 13 14 and 15 year old children then he would of made them different.

      God doesn't exist, so whatever you thought he said doesn't come into play here.

      Sleeping with 15 year olds is perfectly legal in Sweden, for instance. Whether it is morally right to do so for a 30 year old is an entirely different dilemma (my stance is that it is morally correct if the younger takes the initative).

      In thirld world nations, it is pretty common for girls to be married away at the age of 12 or so... they don't have a say in the matter.

      So what is called pedophilia in the West, is common behavior elsewhere, to a certain degree (12 year olds are nearly sexually mature, but certainly not 10 year olds and younger).

      Real pedophilia is somewhat more serious than having a desire for teenagers. The latter is biologically normal, but morally wrong in many parts of the world.

      Teenagers are supposed to experiment with sex to get prepared for adult life. Some teenagers are more advanced than others, and also more mature. Some of them will be perfectly happy dating older people, and society should't really interfere in this without a valid reason (the bible isn't a valid reason).

      And teenage girls can certainly be predators in their own right.

    Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the world with your offspring, just don't look at any pictures of people doing that.
    Thou shall not kill, but pictures of people doing that are just fine. So Sayeth The Lawwwward!
