When Child Pornography is Legal! Internet or otherwise!

When is child pornography legal? When it's TV or movie-makers doing the shooting behind the lens, that's when! Turn on your television, young girls slowly peeling off layers of clothing, dropping them on the floor below, long panning shots of her neck, her breast, her abdomen, her upper thighs, down her legs and back up, all in a slow pan! "Cut! That's a rap!" they say.


These are KIDS! And some mother is allowing their child (for the hunger of the almighty dollar) to be degraded.

I was watching a television show a few years back, "Invasion". On one occasion I was ready to write to the show, when a young girl peeled off her pants, in front of her step-brother, and dove into the water in her see-through spaghetti strap top and bikini underwear. But wouldn't you know it, when the stepbrother dove in, he left all his clothes on! Hmm

And in another episode it had the young sixteen year old girl (who is infatuated with an older man) kissing him! He is 26! Maybe 27. And this is what the media is feeding our children? Is this legal child molestation? You bet it is! It's a double standard!

In reality, if a teacher 21 has an affair with a 17 year-old student she gets arrested! Her face is plastered all over the news and internet and she is forever branded a child-molester. If a male teacher has an affair with a young female student, do we even hear about it? Not often.

The movie and television industry doesn't abide by moral standards. Nor does the internet. They don't have too they ARE the industry! They portray children in a derogatory fashion and get away with it! The music industry, the magazine industry, all of the media is a cesspool of legal pornography!

We, as a nation, have tolerated this crap for far too long. We do nothing about it as we sit and shake our heads. I have written a 200 word piece to one newspaper about the demeaning billboards (advertising for strip clubs and porn shops)*In DALLAS TEXAS!* and the response printed was my opinion of 50 words, ripped apart from the 200 that they allowed!

No industry wants to hear what they are doing wrong. They look at the dollar signs and run with what works for them. Exxon makes billions and claims its from out of the country business, Hollywood makes millions and claims its from making movies that people want to see, and the music industry promotes sex because they claim it is what sells! Not one industry will claim that they are DESTROYING and ABUSING children, ruining marriages, or demeaning life in any way. They claim Freedom of Speech! Demoralizing humanity is not a FREEDOM!

How is a naked woman FREEDOM of Speech? How is a naked child being molested Freedom of Speech?

I think the Freedom of Speech'ers need to wake up and see THEIR children in any of these positions (I bet it won't be Freedom of Speech then) Nope, it will be the almighty lawsuit!
