Cannibalism is bad because it involves killing human beings. By the time the human meat is at the supermarket, it's way too late to do anything useful about it.

- rapala 16y agoMost people shopping at the supermarket could not see the difference between human meat and cow meat. Kiddie porn is not that hard to spot. It's interesting how we tie the act of consuming a product to the act of producing it. Sometimes it's more obvious, like when you buy your meat straight from the butcher. But is it as unethical if you buy the meat vacuum packaged from the supermarket? How about possessing kiddie porn, does it make you a child molester?
- rbanffy 16y ago> How about possessing kiddie porn, does it make you a child molester? No, but depending on where you live, you may be a criminal. I think driving kiddie porn consumers further underground will make it harder to find and prosecute the people actually molesting kids: the producers. While I have no sympathy with child-porn consumers and understand they enable the producers and molesters, I don't think they are the problem that demands most attention unless they molest children.
