Don't try to scapegoat, it's a collective action problem, everyone on the planet is responsible for this. Think about how painful it would be for you to totally wean yourself off fossil fuels. It's the same at the nation leve

The U.S. and Europe can't actually do much about this though. Look at this chart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions_by_th... If everyone in the US and Europe dropped dead, that would be about

Generation of CP harms others yes, but propagation does not. Always did regard the criminalization of possession and propagation of CP as a censorious overreach.

Or not. Pretty sure it wasn't willpower, delayed gratification, and discipline that kept people from being fat back in the 50s or 60s. Something changed in the food, or, worst case scenario, abundant cheap food means it's easier t

Yes, but I am stating it's near guaranteed that criminalizing consumption in this case has no effect on the production of it. The "good" being child rape, do you actually believe there are people who have raped children purel

It still rubs me the wrong way that simple possession of child pornography is illegal. It's obviously a good idea to criminalize production of child pornography, and possibly the sale of as well, assuming that sales of child porn incen

That's pretty bad. Yet another sign of increasing Chinese dominance. I can't imagine an autocracy like China becoming the greatest superpower will work out well for anyone.

Everything would have played out exactly the same even with no Russian interference. There are some big value clashes going on in America, and since there is no established way to make is-ought leaps, facts are not of critical importance in

No, having an image of [thing] is not the same as having [thing], ceci n'est pas une pipe. Replicators would change that, true. Reductively, a gun is a pile of atoms, like everything else, but unlike child pornography, it has the capab

Legal child pornography wouldn't mean legal child rape though, or even being able to legally purchase it. Could be something like what France does with prostitution, where only soliciting is criminalized, e.g. purchasing and production

Is there really a point to being this strict about child pornography? I'm still uncomfortable with the implications of certain configurations of numbers being illegal, and it's unlikely these laws/bans protect any children, u

It doesn't matter if you're 30 or 50 or 60, there's all sorts of controversial opinions these days that are verboten. No, they're not all "shitty opinions".
