Censorship limits

**awa355** · 23rd April 2013, 13:31

Here's something from the Dept of Internal Affairs,

1933 Minimum Age of Marriage raised to 16 years.
Prior to this it was -
14 years for males
12 years for females.

Nowadays bonking your neighbours 14yr daughter would get you locked up. Back then it could get you walking up the aisle with a shotgun in your back. ( maybe). This was probably an archaic law even back then.

Queen victoria signed off a law outlawing homosexuality. She refused to sign a similar law about lesbian because it 'didn't exist' according to her.

Now both are legal.

Censorship seems to be whatever society in general deems immoral at the time.

Exactly. Travel back to ancient Greece for a few eye-openers...

I see your point .. but this happens to be porn cartoons, not kiddie friendly cartoons ... the age of the cartoons does not matter .. porn is porn ... pixies and elves, etc are associated with childhood - so there is a link between sex and young children ... and I'll bet these pixies look pretty young ...

And we agree to censorship all the time ... that's why we have age ratings on movies ... and would you let your children watch X-rated movies?

If they had of imprisoned him because he was caught hanging around primary schools and "grooming" children then fine, but for doubtful artwork

I do hope there is more to this case than cartoons or we have another Dot Com "the powers that be" lynch mob.

He's a convicted kiddie fiddler ... no-one is seriously goig to defend him ... let alone form a lynch mob ... ecxcept maybe his next victinms and half of KB if he offends again ..

Our pixie-loving children are safer with him where he is ...

Didn't pick you as being into naked men?
Because only men were allowed. Maybe naked to prove they were men?

I don't agree to censorship, it gets forced upon me!

Also are the "pixie-loving children" now safer in the long run? Think about it if you're gonna be convicted at the same extent for a fantasy as you will be for the real thing which would you choose next you "offend"? would you rather watch someone (lets say) wheelie down the street or do it yourself if the conviction for both is the same?
So are kids really safer now once he gets out knowing he's fucked to the same extent regardless of how he satisfies his fantasy?

For the cops to pursue charges over something like that, you'd think maybe there was something we haven't been told.
Like maybe there were other charges or incidents n the past they couldn't get to stick.

Very few child abusers get caught on their first shot at it - makes you wonder how many other victims the filthy cunt has. fuck him, let the cunt rot.

Nup, the arguments don't stack up. Are murderers banned from watching Midsomer Murders on telly? Are fraudsters banned from watching Fair Go?

To apply ludicrous censorship rules that you or I don't have to live by is non-sensical. What next? A convicted burglar gets caught with a 5 year old copy of "The Great Train Robbery" doco and he gets hauled off to court? Last time I was in a video store I don't recall being asked if I was an arsonist before I rented Stephen King's "Firestarter".

You can say "But he's a kiddy fiddler!" all you like, when these self same ludicrous policy's edge closer and closer to mainstream ordinary people you won't have a leg to stand on in defense of what could be you. Think twice about opening that next email attachment from your dodgy mate, 'cos by agreeing to this action you're willingly putting your own head in the noose.

Seriously, who here hasn't got a speeding conviction? Now imagine being in an accident where you were speeding and someone was hurt, good luck when they introduce those crazy (Ghostrider, 300kph on a Swedish motorway) bike clips you've stored on your PC when it comes to sentencing time: "I was going to impose a fine and disqualification, but in light of the PC "evidence" that seems manifestly inadequate, 3-6 months in prison should give you time to realise the error of your ways."

Been in a fight at the pub? I hope you haven't recorded any UFC (ultimate Fighting Championship) episodes on MySky...

There may well be some court imposed sanction that the bloke in question has transgressed, but applying the same process to other crimes/situations just shows how screwed up it is.

Naa .. I was thinking of the modern Olympics .. they'd be much more fun if the athletes were naked ... we could look at the women and the women could look at the men ..

You really want to look at the Russian women shotputters??

or worse, watching Princess Anne naked on a horse?
