Paedophilia

[sweet~teen]

This is a question that I have often wandered the answer to. Firstly I'd like to say I'm an 18 year old female and am not remotely sexually attracted to children! Now to my question. If someone has been found to have child pornography on their computer do they automatically get arrested? I ask this because I am sure there are plenty of people who are not paedophiles but for purely curiosity sake look up indecent images.They are not sexually aroused by these images and are infact repulsed but they did it for curiosity.Surely you can't call them paeodophiles? Sick it is but not paedophilic behaviour. The case of Chris Langham brought this question to my mind.He has ben arrested for having child porn on his computer and yet he has never abused a child.Maybe he was just curious?

True, this will get the hang em high club out ( i am the chairman of it ). BUT, people who raise such stupid points surely deserve to be put firmly in their place regarding such a terrible subject.

Neilzulu, there is no way, given 10 new green characters on the screen, of putting anything 'in its place'

[Neilzulu1]

Please do not respond any more as you constantly go off subject and are boring me now.

people who look at child pornography should be arrested, just because they never did anything to a child doesn't mean they should be allowed to carry on!

[johnlambert]

No one "accidently" looks at pictures of child porn, anyone who accesses thids material knows exactly what they are looking at and should be arrested for paedophilia

Hear, hear John.

Neilzulu I don't give a fiddler's fart if I am boring you, this is a public question and answer board, and it wasn't you who posted the thread anyway. Dimwit.

[Neilzulu1]

Do one you pr#t, not once have you condemned him or mentioned the poor kids. All you seem bothered about is people ,ranting, ( as you put it ). Well what did you really expect?

[bobtheturkey]

way too much reference to paedophilia on this site and i find it somewhat disturbing

[whiffey]

Not a lot from you, that's true. You demean your own moral high ground by calling me a pr#t.

I just get fed up with non-stop condemnation of anything where it might make you popular. Any thread about Tony Blair was a good starter, any thread about Paedophilia is a dead cert.

Goodsoulette sums it up in the first post here.

Looking at them creates a need and market for such.

You must have heard of "peadophile rings"?? Like normal porn to normal people, child porn becomes samely and boring for the kiddy fiddler. Hence they swap and barter for fresh pictures and videos between eachother.

There is also a business, of which the IRA have suspected involvement, of people creating child porn sites purely for financial gain. The same way somebody who sells gay fetish wear is not gay, or a vegetarian butcher.

Child porn is big bucks and makes people very rich. The trouble is at the end of it a child is abused. The finacial gain is thus greater than their morals, like drug dealers who never touch drugs.

Torture those who view the images, and kill the "actual" offenders. It is the only way to rid the world of these evil people, whether immoral financiers or really twisted nonces.

I can't see how you can possibly look at such vile images out of 'curiosity', john's right, they know exactly what they're looking for.
And bob's right, it's becoming an obsession on here!

[bobtheturkey]

indeed it is hellie im glad someone else has noticed im sure there is form of ocd going on but im no psychologist

[Shadow Man]

Like so many new things on AB did I not say it was becomming an obsession with certain people about a month ago.

Again Wardy states the obvious before the others notice!!!

sweet teen I think I understand what you are getting at. I am not for 1 minute saying it is ok to just look at child porn but once me and my husband went on a site called ogrish to look at people who have died in road accidents etc and the images were really gruesome and I believe it is illegal. I was horrified but curiosity did get the better of me so that is why I looked at some of the pictures, I would never ever be curious to view child porn especially as I am a nursery nurse but I can sort of understand how say immature teenagers might look once then be horrified and never do it again and if that is the case then no I don't think they should be prosecuted for looking once. If however it is an adult who fully understands what they are doing then I disagree because as an adult no sane person would ever do this and if they did then part of them must be a paedophile

[helliebobs]

you can psychoanalyse me anytime bob! On second thoughts, no, don't :)

Around 50 years ago, a 19 yo kid was hanged for a murder someone else committed on the roof of a Croydon warehouse. He didn't have a gun, and was under arrest at the time of the shooting. He was mentally subnormal. The actual killer is still alive. He was hanged because Society had to make an example of him. It is always well to be on the side of what is currently fashionable.

[Goodsoulette]

Im a bit confused by that comment whiffey, am I missing the point?

[sweet~teen]

thanks tigwig. I thought I was on my own then!

whiffey,
I'm probably missing something here, but what has Derek Bentley got to do with child porn?. or am I being naive.

As for downloading pictures, but not actually physically abusing a child, no difference at all, the two are interlinked, both deserve the maximent sentence possible, with no remission, plus, not segregated from the other prisoners.
