"Nude children can be found in paintings and photos- look through some online museums. " They can also be found running down the street- I was 9 months pregnant with my second child, trying frantically to potty train my first child ( he wasn't quite 2 at the time) and he slipped out the door and ran down the sidewalk nude- laughing at me as i ran (waddled) after him, trying to catch him-now that would have been a hilarious photograph to send to all my relatives or put on a homegrown web site for family to view and dl and print out for their personal family albums. nakid child= porn? not when it's innocent in context, as long as they aren't in provocative or compromising positions. But then again, pedophiles don't actually care if children are naked or not- there's one dispicable site that's famous for pedophiles stealing family pictures of peoples children,( you know, home grown web sites of the " here's my lovely family" flavor) posting it on their forum and talking about what they would like to do to those children. That site is monitered very closely btw. It's a good thing it's not "monitored" by me- I'd have to hunt them down and kill them. There is one particular poster/merchant here who makes my stomache turn. No matter how much this person says their images are innocent, - it reeks of "sick pedophile" to me, but the images are allowed to stay. This same person also has the habit (according to a 3rd party) of when being brough to task or critisized for these same images, they push the line even harder- to tweek the ones critisizing them- also reeking of a phycological disorder. I'm just glad this person lives no where near me and my children. My gut-o-meter doesn't go off very often, but when it does- i listen- it's usually right. People have complained and brought these images to the PTB 's attention, yet they remain, while others ( not belonging to that particular person and no where nearly as graphical in nature) are pulled. The whole problem//issue here is and always has been- inconsistancy of application of the tos. While the PTB may try to be consistant, it hasn't happened yet, nor is it likely to happen any time soon. Best just to use some judgement, common sense, and if one gets slapped every now and again.. scream and rant about it in a forum thread, then wait for the next biggest crisis or fire to happen- cause there's always another on the way ( ok that last part was a bit tongue in cheek..) ;D
