I pretty much agree entirely with that rant.

Either these guys are really good and can disguise their collections from a thorough examination of their hard drives... or they aren't quite as guilty as Big Brother paints them to be. Find the guys (and girls) with 500 images of child porn, and I think it's safe to say that they have a problem.
There's also the grey area no one has brought up of what constitutes "child porn". Many legal sites with participants aged 18 and older advertise as "teen" sites. Yet as we all know, "teen" can refer to those aged 13-17 as well as those 18-19. If there's a link to "young girls", that could refer to porn involving those 7-10 years old, 13-14 years old, 18-20 years old, or 22-25 years old, and the latter two groups are the vast majority. Most people looking for the latter, but accidentally finding the former, will just go "ick" and close the window. And there is also the rule of thumb in locating any porn on the Internet that 99.9% of the time, the file name does not actually describe what is in the file. Quite simply, there's no way to tell the intent of someone clicking on a link to so-called "child" porn, even though the MSM would like us to believe that anyone who ends up with a single image of child porn on their computer is a loner who abducts little girls and tortures them in his basement.

This is an odd one for me.
For a time I avoided this thread as it causes painful memories to come back to me.
I have daughters who were abused by a pedifile....May he burn for ever in Hell...and yes I have peed on his grave.
In my mind there is a huge difference between men who abduct, molest and exploit children and those sick SOB's who read about or look at images of them destroying those children's lives.
I understand the concept that the viewers of this filth are injuring the child by providing a market for the crap, but in many instances that child is long dead or grown before the "crime" of looking at their image is committed.
The end does not always justify the means....as in bombing abortion clinics.
I have a problem with the method, and not with putting perverts away.
I hope the Feds are working harder to find those who are out theremaking this crap than they are in looking for those who are buying or viewing it.
The ones that are making this stuffare the ones who are actively destroying the lives of children and when you stop them, you may still be able to save some of those kids.
In my mind the Feds putting those images out there...grainey they may be...is still wrong. There has to be a better way.
I hate child abuse and itsofspring... pornography in all its forms and not a day goes by but what I deal with its aftermath, in the lives of my family members.
Child abuse, in all its forms and manifestations,is like a great tree and it seems that to many spend to much time trying to kill that tree by plucking off its leaves, when they need to attack its trunk with an ax to make it fall.
