This is more of a 2 part question. Should child porn that does not include a real child be illegal? If so, who is being harmed by it?

The other question is; does giving a pedophile access to “imitation” children give them an outlet for their desire, so they won’t try to engage with real children, or does it just reinforce their desire, thus helping them to rationalize their behavior and lead to them being more encouraged to harm real children?

I’ve heard psychologists discuss both sides, but I don’t think we have any real life studies to go off of because the technology is so new.

I’m just curious what the other thought out there are from people who are more liberty minded.

You didn’t read my comment.

You didn’t read mine. No wonder, given how self-absorbed you are…

I want nothing to do with fucking criminals.

Ah, so everything’s fine and dandy with ya, if they aren’t caught and sentenced? Brilliant strategy, milord!

Now, I give you simple challenge: prove that you’re willing to set an example and coexist with those loathsome deviants you want for the society to embrace.

If you can’t, if you don’t want to - admit that your ideas aren’t that good.

I did read yours. What makes you think otherwise?

If someone who wants to kill, never does it, they shouldn’t be put in prison. They shouldn’t even be hated or feared.

Someone who gets away with it, should be in prison. Someone who did kill, should be hated and feared.

I will admit only one thing, that you refuse to understand what I’m actually trying to say.

I wouldn’t need to prove shit, if you had the capacity to think clearly enough to understand, or even fucking read.

I did read yours. What makes you think otherwise?

The fact that you constantly avoid the challenge of proving your convictions true and correct.

The other explanation is that you’re simply scared of it, or trolling, but I preferred to think you were simply too preoccupied with writing yet another comment. I don’t anymore.

I wouldn’t need to prove shit

Uh-huh. You absolutely has to do, since “burden of proof…” and all that.

But you won’t. Because you realize how weak, irresponsible and “let this be other people’s problem” your train of logic is.

Fgures.

Except what you’re asking me to prove I believe, isn’t actually what I believe, because you refuse to even think about what I am actually saying.

You’ve made assumptions, and because those assumptions are so heinously evil, you won’t even consider what I have to say.

Because you’re acting based on assumptions, you keep missing when trying to dismantle my argument, because its not my argument you’re attacking, but your imagined idea of what I’m saying.

So here we are, going in circles, me trying to get through to you, you accusing me of avoiding the point, because I keep trying to force you to see my actual point, instead of the imagined one that you’ve fixated on.

About us

An open, user owned community for the general disscussion of the libertarian philosophy.

  • Libertarianism is the belief that each person has the right to live his life as he chooses so long as he respects the equal rights of others.
  • Libertarians defend each person’s right to life, liberty, and property.
  • In the libertarian view, voluntary agreement is the gold standard of human relationships.
  • If there is no good reason to forbid something (a good reason being that it violates the rights of others), it should be allowed.
  • Force should be reserved for prohibiting or punishing those who themselves use force.

Most people live their own lives by that code of ethics. Libertarians believe that that code should be applied consistently, even to the actions of governments, which should be restricted to protecting people from violations of their rights. Governments should not use their powers to censor speech, conscript the young, prohibit voluntary exchanges, steal or “redistribute” property, or interfere in the lives of individuals who are otherwise minding their own business.
