How comes every time the news reports a case of child abduction (track, quote)

If I'm not mistaken in America is it classed as a paedophilia related crime to be in possession of pornography in which an 18+ parades themselves as being beneath the age of consent?

Rach, I think you need to slow down and read what the Unfan is saying more thoroughly. He's not saying he would rape a 7 year old child, he's talking about the differences caused by cultural and social upbringing.

Another example of the difference in maturity caused by society is your reference to 14 being a silly age of consent. Being 14 isn't what makes you a dizzy moron, the fact that society caters to the idea that a 14 year old SHOULD be a dizzy moron is. Only a few hundred years, 14 year olds were responsible for themselves and considered eligible for marriage. Look at Romeo and Juliet; the character of Juliet was a 13 year old. She's portrayed as a determined person who well knows their own mind. Nobody bats an eyelash to the idea that a 13 year old should be getting mixed up in all the sort of crap she gets up to because at the time children were raised in such a way that by the time they were 13 they could handle themselves.

I do however take contention with the suggestion that paying for paedophillic pornography is a victimless crime. Though simple possession is a different matter, to pay for it is passively encouraging the crime by supporting the people who commit them.
