Wow. I like how this thread is going. It's hard to have this discussion in most circles because there's a knee jerk, hostile reaction towards child pornography. I'm glad to see so many people who are able to look at this from less of an emotional perspective. Kudos to everyone in this thread!
Heh. When I was in high school, there were some guys goofing around during wrestling practice. They were running laps up and down a hill outside the gym. One of those times, one of the guys de-pants'ed another. No big deal, just boys goofing around like boys, right? Well, problem was, when this happened there also happened to be a school bus full of elementary children driving by and they all got to watch. The coach was pissed because this could have very easily been interpreted as a sex crime.
