Pornography - are you for or against it and why?

[Ashendant]

@RevJ- I wasn't talking about anything.. It may be a slippery slope but that's no reason not to do something about it. I see no problem with having the child pornography laws expanded to include other pornography pretending to be child pornography. I don't think it will cause the market to implode or violence to erupt, in fact I think it would be a great PR move by a more reputable porn industry to distance themselves from something socially unacceptable.

@Ash- So which is more likely
A) that the entirety of the reason child pornography is illegal is to protect the victim's privacy?
B) to protect the child's privacy and because society doesn't condone or want to see child pornography?
C) A number of other variables to include both of the above

If you answer A, no amount of discussion will help you see any different and I don't wish to try any more.
If you answer B or C then let's fast forward the train a bit

If you answered B:
1)The purpose of child pornography laws are to both protect the victim and the general consensus of society doesn't want to see child pornography
2) Faking child pornography creates no victims
2.5) Faking child pornography is legal with proof of age
3) Faked child pornography is something the general consensus of society doesn't want to see
4) Intentionally faking child pornography is meant to imitate illegal child pornography
5) While faking child pornography causes no victim and isn't illegal, it is still something the general consensus of society doesn't want to see.
6) Faking Child pornography breaks the intent of the law, but is not punishable by law.

I could go on with my train of thought on this, but this is starting to seem like an argument to argue.

A is the true answer, Laws are there to protect people and act neutral(mostly, stupid religious people), it's not there to condone behaviour but to judge people on their actions, it's just that some people want to impose their vision of the law on other's people social freedoms
