quote plmcelligott: "I'm sorry, but I have a hard time getting too upset over a "perv" getting his jollies from a computer generated image of a person who doesn't really exist, regardless of the context. There is an easily discerned distinction between pedophiles stalking real children in a public place and someone getting over-stimulated by a fake image on the internet." I'm sorry that you can't see that they're the same thing. While I prefer to have no real opinion of this debate (tho I'd probably lean toward a case-by-case basis as opposed to a blanket ruling), your statement that a perv getting jollies off digital art kiddies instead of real ones isn't the same thing is disturbing. Full grown adults SHOULD NOT be stimulated by children, fake or otherwise. There'd have to be something inherently wrong with that person. You should be aware of the difference and wonder if a man who gets stimulated watching a small child in a playground or staring at digital art on the internet should spend quality time with your daughter or son. kmw
