# so there will be some justification for the attention he's getting.
as it is, he's just a man with an attraction to younger people who may be legally underage in many places but who are, for the most part, in puberty or beyond.

do i want to have sex with people who are 14 years old? no, but i was having sex with older men at 14 and fully aware of what i was doing. labelling intergenerational sex as a one-way power dynamic that is always exploitation is stupid, facile and allows moronic busybodies with too much time on their hands to interfere in our lives in ways that are pernicious and more immoral than the odd child-fucking.

# "who are, for the most part, in puberty or beyond."

for the most part!

# actually, i should not have said that.
the 14 year old he allegedly had sex with was years ago, and he was acquitted of all charges. the childporn conviction reported no ages regarding his 'victims'.

# you do realise what 'acquitted' means, right?
whether you let him babysit is your business - i only have issue with screeching to the media in a panic about a 'crime' that involves pictures (or drawings, for crying out loud) of people. has he harmed a person?

You seem to be a very confused person, and defend your morally weak argument by judging me. Look i can do it too postbear! Are you a Sun reader, did your starsign tell you to condone child porn?

that's one example of child porn. it could be a drawing, or a photoshop or a kid in the bath pic - we don't know, but they're all childporn in certain eyes.

# grow up means just that - grow up.
you made a lame joke and i made an absurd wish in response. when asked about it by another poster, i replied, explaining my dissatisfaction with a public witch hunt. knowing exactly NOTHING about the actual ages of his victims, you've proceded to take the stance of a deeply offended person for no perceptible reason.

further, you've carefully avoided questions about the nature of the pics that he had, when that is entirely pertinent to the fact of whether or not he's any sort of sex criminal in ACT and not merely FANTASY.

# Well thanks for clearing that up, we can all go and 'grow up'......?
Here are your pertinent facts that I have not 'carefully' avoided:
1999 Glitter arrested with 4000 pics of child pornography (with definition, as it looks like you need to have it spelt out for you.)

Again: In late 2005, Gary Glitter was arrested and charged with molesting two under-aged girls, aged 10 and 11.

Sounds to me like you are the one living in a fantasy world.

edit: more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Glitter

# oh good grief.
arrested, charged and not prosecuted = innocent, not guilty. got it?

and a wikipedia definition has no meaning under the law of any country - the laws vary, too, from place to place and over time. what is legal where you are may be illegal here, and vice versa. to add hilarity to this, the very first sentence of the wiki article begins "Child pornography refers to material depicting children being in a state of undress..." which only supports my question - what is the nature of the pics he had? Were they just naked pics or drawings or silly-ass photoshops, or were they actually porn pics featuring underage kids?

we don't know! further, in my mind (and in the minds of many people, some of whom are posting here and some of whom are on the forefront of this legal issue), possessing pictures of illicit acts should not necessarily be a crime.

please don't try people by their wikipedia articles. it's just not... sane.

(I helped save b3ta! PointlessCamel Last one on drugs is a queer., Tue 2 Sep 2008, 3:47, archived)
# i don't care what porn people look at.
are you saying it should be illegal to look at a drawing of a child or a nude baby pic? or only illegal if it gets you sexually excited?
(I helped save b3ta! postbear has metal knees, Tue 2 Sep 2008, 3:50, archived)
# I think the idea is that pornography with children in is illegal to own, as it funds/endorses the creation and systematic sexual abuse of children.
That seems fairly logical to me, in the same way snuff porn and such would be illegal.

Though they do seem fairly content in pushing through with this stupid new law which would essentially cover everything from those ridiculous pictures they did in Brass Eye, to lolicon type hentai.

# we all mature differently.
i just get chafed when 'sex crimes' are bandied about, for two main reasons:

1. nonsense ones (regarding consensual intergenerational sex and other 'crimes') distract from real sex crimes, and

2. the wingnuts most up in arms about them tend to be puritanical freaks who'll only be happy when only monogamous sex between legally married opposite-gender religious people is allowed.

what ages were the people in the images? were they photographs or drawings? were they pics of naked kids that i could easily find on flickr or pbase or yahoo galleries or photobucket or imageshack, etc?

AND passing off child porn as a 'mild case' or so it seems.

Having 4000 pictures of naked kids on your laptop is not right, whatever the fucking media they are made with.

# you don't know what those pics featured any more than i do.
again: were they drawings? pics of naked kids put up on the internet by moms and dads who think they're cute? actual splayed baby-genitals being licked by adults? we don't know, but they're all illegal in certain places.

by your account it's not right. others disagree, and still others are more worried about the police and government having the right to poke into your computer or desk drawer to see if what gets you off is something that others frown upon.

what constitutes porn? it's so bloody subjective that people have been arrested for having snapshots of their own kids in the bath. further, it sparks a chilling effect, and can be used to harass artist and people on the sexual fringe who are not victimising children.
