Japan Moves Toward Blocking Online Child Porn
crimeandpunishment writes "In the wake of increased international demands that it do something about its legal lenience toward child pornography, Japan is beginning to take action, albeit slowly. Thursday a government task force recommended that kiddie porn sites be blocked as soon as they're discovered, instead of waiting for an investigation or arrests. Making or distributing child porn is illegal in Japan, but possession is not ... and critics have called that a legal loophole making Japan an international hub for child porn."
My sister's wife taught English in the rural areas of Nagasaki pref. in the late 90's and she relayed a story about being astonished when she discovered 2chan being browsed on the lab's computers. She tried to have the site blocked but the admin told her it was too popular. For those not in the know imagine 4chan but with even more lolicon, child porn and tentacle rape.
An Education is the Font of All Liberty
In response to public criticisms abour Japanese whaling practices, Japanese officials had the following to say:
"A fuck-a-you whales!!!!!! And a fuck-a-you dolphiiiiiiiins!!!!!"
No further comment was necessary, but a young man that prides himself on his vocal abilities in the popular Rock Band video game exclaimed matter-of-factually:
"I don't give a crap about whales so go and hug a tree."
Motorcycles, Robots, Space Gossip and More!
If only they listened to the world about whaling too.
They do listen to the rest of the world about Whaling. The International Whaling Comittee gives them permission to hunt NON ENDANGERED whales. Which they do. And they can hunt like 5 blue whales per year or something to that effect. But the main thing is that the whales that the Sea Terrorists are trying to protect are non-endangered and a nuisance. And you namby pamby idiots rooting for them are just as bad as rooting for Osama. They're violating international law attacking unarmed fishermen who are following the law.
Lets be realistic, the majority of human beings aren't that. And if the majority aren't crazy like that it makes no sense to create laws expecting people to act like that. Lets put it simple, if you saw someone murdered on tape you wouldn't go and murder somebody would you? Because you have a conscience right?
It has been shown, in multiple studies, that pornography leads to sexual deviancy and inconsistent expectations of sex -- and that individuals will seek out to attempt these acts. Pornography is based on lust and greed. Those two fellows tend to erode a person's sense of morality to the point where they, like you, completely lose their sense of morality. One year ago, you probably considered even the CONCEPT of having child pornography as something despicable. Now, if you bother to look, you're advocating the filth. It's not the world that's changed -- you've probably even degraded to the point where you'll tell me that there's not even such a thing as "right" and "wrong" because those are oh so relative!
The greatest flaw in your psychopathic argument, however, is your disregard for disregard. Normal individuals will see movies where people are murdered and banks are robbed. They will chuckle and label the deeds as "bad" or "misbehavior" and move on. Normal individuals, however, will not masturbate to pictures of death and thievery. Sexuality is one of humanity's most powerful stimuli, and it becomes very dangerous in the hands of people who have lost their sense of right and wrong.

Westerners and Asians are so different. When the US military base was originally built, the soldiers didn't feel like banging the prostitutes because they looked like kids. On top of that you have the fact that Asian men and women look more alike than Western men and women, then there is testicle porn, how breasts used to sometimes be shown on public TV, New-halves and the gender guessing games, gender-bender cartoons, and a culture that generally gratifies women who press up like high school children. Everything is just a mess.
Given Japanese culture and their craziness, it would be interesting if when a bunch of no-nonsense laws are put in place the suicide rate suddenly takes a small spike for various reasons.
Once you start despising the jerks, you become one.
Wrong. In a premeditated murder the person actually dies - it's only a difference if you planned to do it, but there's an actual victim.
What's the difference between that and manslaughter then? The victim or the intent?
you guys fantasize about screwing children and you want society to accept and facilitate that.
Ad hominem attacks don't fly here, sorry.
Do you even know what an ad hominem attack is? I'm telling paedophiles that they should expect to be socially ostricised for being paedophiles! That's not an ad hominem attack! Not a paedophile? Then the argument certainly doesn't apply!
Appeals to anonymous authorities don't work either. If your argument relies on some sources, the onus to provide them is one you.
This isn't some bullshit courtroom drama. This isn't a game. The evidence is right out there for anyone to search who wants to -- and it's not my "burden" to provide it. Not providing the links when you can just google it doesn't make me wrong. I am right, and I will allow you to prove yourself wrong if you have doubts. Citing the sources won't change the truth.

In that hypothetical scenario, do you support prosecuting that 16 year old girl? Yes or No. BTW, if you say no, then you (by your own statements) are enabling sexual predators to rape a child. If you say yes you lack enough common sense for anyone to bother taking any more of your comments seriously.
Well, gee, let's see, um, so you basically are telling me there's no right way to answer the question you say I'm dodging? Obviously, not warranting your trap question with an answer was the best answer I could have given, and should speak volumes for my common sense.

What you are doing (besides drooling on your keyboard) is called an "Appeal to emotion" and is usually done by someone who cannot argue the facts because they aren't on his/her side,
Perhaps you should remember that my fact-based post was modded "flamebait/troll" and the post you're responding to is the answer to that mod's emotional response? Tit for Tat and all that.
You're ignoring the issue completely. "Lock up anyone with a picture on his computer for 40 years" is not what I'm suggesting is it? What part of "seek help" did you not understand? You mention councelling, yourself.
NO no no... The point of that post... That post was made to wake someone out of their sleep. To evoke an emotional impact that will help someone realize that they're not the well-adjusted, ok person they thought they were. That can not be done with a dissertation. It must be done with a bucket of cold water.

How do you tell? A 19 year old japanese girl looks like she's 12.

A lot of 30-something Japanese girls still look like teenagers... and behave accordingly
