What I mean is how does CP harm society more than "legal" (in the USA and not in Australia) Violent/Extreme BDSM pornographic material? Who views CP? That's right paedophiles. Are they paedophiles because they were exposed to CP (monkey-see-monkey-do)? No. Oh maybe you believe the argument that people exposed to CP will be more likely to commit acts of paedophilia? Well wouldn't that mean people exposed to "simulated rape" would also be more likely to commit acts of rape? My argument is the world has a much bigger problem then CP. And that's the extreme stuff that America is producing. Many more people are exposed to that then to child porn.
This is like saying the Columbine shooters killed their fellow students because of Marilyn Manson and 1st person shooter games. There's a line between fantasy and reality. If someone has problems with that line, there's generally an underlying issue. So should we regulate everything so some people don't get confused? Nay.
