> You shouldn't care about people possessing child pornography, because if you do then it's because you should have "paid more attention to your kid and improved your parenting".

You are right; I don't care. You might possess illegal tactical plants: I don't care. Why should I?

> Yes, criminalizing possession of child pornography reduces the consumption, and therefore demand, of said child pornography.

Citation needed. I believe it's false on the same principles that apply to illegal substances. Criminalizing possession of illegal substances do NOT reduce the consumption, and do NOT reduce demand. I'm willing to change my view on this in presence of reliable evidence to support your claims. I somehow doubt if you were to revoke those laws you would see an increase in demand.

> I rather think reducing the number of child abuse cases is a worthier goal than stroking your misplaced sense of worth.

You are making the false assumption that possession of child pornography necessarily lead to child abuse, i.e. actual physical violence which I am deeply against. I need citation to support the claim that child pornography laws regarding possession of such do indeed significantly reduce the number of child abuses, and that possession of child pornography usually lead to child abuse.

Additionally, what constitutes child pornography varies greatly between places: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_regarding_child_pornograp....

On another note: I hope you are aware of child neglect being a form of child abuse, which involves the lack of attention and safety of your offspring. You are responsible for your kid and nothing you say will change that. Please do educate yourself on child development and parenting as required. I know I would.

> I'm sorry if this offends you, or that you think your "freedom" (to own child porn?) is threatened by this

I know you are not sorry, but in any case: don't worry; I'm not offended, however, please save me from your covert and false accusations.

> Oh you're one of those guys. You just couldn't resist the urge to shoehorn your agenda and announce at the top of your lungs: "look at me guys! I'm rugged and tough and I don't care about your kids! I am so smart!".

Please save me from your evidently false accusations. If anything, I seem to be caring more about your offspring than you do. Read my previous comments. I'm literally straight out bashing lousy parents and telling them to pay more attention to their children and so on. People down-voted it. How is this in any way an indication of me not caring about your kids? You seem to be really confused.

> A: "Please pay more attention to your kid, improve your parenting as needed. Make sure your kid is safe, educate your kid of the risks and potential consequences of sharing photos on the Internet, etc. If you are not financially stable and you are unlikely to be able to feed your potential future kid, please use contraceptives instead or something."

> B: "You troll, you don't care about our kids! down-votes A's previous post"

You are hilarious. This is some serious cognitive dissonance, can't make this up.

> What I care about is measurable decreases in demand for child abuse content that are the result of criminalization [sic] of possession.

Citation needed.

> Finally, kindly knock off your stupid fucking derisive tone. I would wager a considerable amount of money that you wouldn't talk like that in person, with anybody.

You mean perceived (by you, and possibly others) derisive tone? Adding the word "kindly" does not make your sentence any less threatening where the threat may be non-existent but is still perceived by me. Please do re-read your comment and focus on evaluating YOUR tone while you are at it, as you don't seem to be doing any better. It's not an excuse, but unlike you, I'm not offended nor care about your tone which in no way invalidates anything you say. I care about content.

> EDIT: I know I shouldn't reply to trolls, but your drivel ticked me off so, dumb as I am, I'm going to respond.

I put a warning for you, did you deliberately ignore it? Make no mistake, I don't mind that you are going to lose sleep over it, I just find it perplexing. Imagine you have epilepsy: are you going to ignore the warning that says "The following video contains flashing lights that may trigger seizures in individuals with epilepsy"? Are you going to call the person uploading the video a troll, too?
