Frankly, I don't get upset about child porn unless real children are used. As long as it is just a creation from someone's mind, similar to cartoon except perhaps a little more real looking, then so what? In fact having simulated child porn available, may satisfy the craving someone feels and thereby eliminate the real child porn.

I realize most people are emotional and not logical; however, I would willingly permit 1,000 simulations if that would prevent 1 child from being used.

Short of gently giving them a shot that will let them go to sleep forever, there is not much you can do to prevent people from acting on their cravings. I don't believe they can control their cravings. However, if their cravings can be satisfied with simulations and, if that in turn, will reduce the actual harm to children, I don't believe people's objections are logical.

I personally don't wish to watch crude porn or much violence in videos so, when I find it, I just delete. However, if others like it, that is find with me as long as they don't expose me to it.

i don't care if it's fantasy child porn or real hardcore child porn, i think the creators and users of this filth should be shot, there is nothing more sinister than the abuse of a child, exposing them to things that kids should not witness, and your theory of simulated child porn satisfying their craving just shows us how naive and ignorant you are, it wont satisfy them it will leave them wanting the real thing, methadone doesn't satisfy a heroin addicts cravings, and to think that filesharing isn't a part of the problem is just ludicrous, it's the biggest medium for sharing this **** that has ever existed, i use limewire a lot for music and movies but if shutting down p2p would reduce the traffic of child porn by even a half then i am all for it, i for one am disgusted by the lack of responsibilty taken by computer hackers and experts, if i had the knowledge i would seek out child porn distributors and users and expose them, there must be a way to plant bugs in their computers letting scotland yard or the FBI know where they are, if you can't expose them then surely you would be able to destroy their systems. but i don't think enough is being done, even when they are caught they are let off lightly, somebody i went to school with was selling pictures on the web, he was benifiting finacialy and he was also having sex with a 13 year old boy, and his sentence was a mere 18 months, needless to say, he was out in 6, he still has his old friends and has even got back together with his ex-girlfriend,
the lack of empathy from society will sicken me for life
