    Well from where I sit you need to study Quote of the Day a bit less and pick up some Dale Carnegie! Advocating doesn't equate with Winning either!

    And that doesn't equate to a reasoned rebuttal. Try again!

    That's it Col.. Your next CC will be an absolute shocker....... (just joking)

    Seen the same arguements on the thread that related to that photographer who took photos of children and claimed it as art. It ended fairly heated. I feel this thread will end the same.
    I read this thread cause I enjoy some of the comments, and what people feel on the subject. It's all healthy until someone gets hurt.

    Why? You've already admitted you have closed mind on the subject.

    It's like a car crash, you don't want to see it but when you know there is one coming you can't look away.

    No, I've admitted that nobody's presented any facts, evidence, or material that supports an alternative. Only fear, fear, fear...

    Oh well, if they get around to classifying everything at least we know that the politicians who we duly elected are well versed in the difference between art and porn.

    I have specifically discounted the specific Henson case and asked what specific law should there be to prevent exploitation.

    BTW Currently we have CP in two categories (<18 and aggravated 14) and a SA pollie being busted for CP on both counts. http://www.news.com.au/national/mp-a...-1226042484463
    Yet there are those that argue that this should not even be a crime as in their view it is either art or a 'natural' expression.

    When does it stop being art and come under 'exploitive' porn? Again, Where would you draw the line? be specific!

    There are already laws that prevent exploitation, in ALL Australian jurisdictions.

    The law already draws a line around what is considered CP. You just referred to it. No additional censorship or classification scheme is required.

    Is that YOUR answer, or the one you'd like us to accept as yours? The question was not where does the LAW draw the line but rather where would YOU draw the line! Come out of your anarchist bookshelf and fess up!!!
