Ok, I'm not exactly trying to argue that child porn should be legal, but I do think the law needs some wiggle room there. We need to understand that judges can fuck up just like any other guy, we need to understand there are always going to be 'yeah, but' situations that people get caught up in and we need to understand that if the sexual predators know the law well enough and we have strict lines drawn, they'll push things as far as they can go while remaining inside those lines (and still hurt children in the process). I know I've seen enough of the art world to understand that the line between art and pornography can be an extremely fine line and I have a good enough understanding of human sexuality to understand that pretty much anything can be turned into a sexual fetish object.
I'll say, I don't like anyone hurting other people, especially children. Children are generally innocent and are at a stage where their personality is still fairly malleable. If we treat them right and raise them well, we can turn them into good people. If they live under constant abuse, neglect and mistreatment, it's probably going to scar them and, often, the child will turn into an abuser themselves.
