Germany reduces sentences for child pornography

[Barba]

It's time for some fire and brimstone.

If people didn't find this revolting they wouldn't be even discussing it. Know thy enemy.

Even thinking about it makes me head towards the bathroom, so thats that.

I watched a documentary on Jimmy Savile and it reinforced my belief there is something wrong with Brits. Here in the US, someone with Savile' personality (clownish, really) wouldn't have risen to fame.

The ordinary people are among the coolest in the world, but their "leaders" are something else entirely. I don't believe David Icke's reptilian theory (suspiciously like the science fiction TV shows, "V"), but I wouldn't die of shock if Draco was in charge over there.

Well, there they are. The conspiracy theorists don't sound so crazy now, do they? I predicted the concurrent trends of infantilizing adults and sexualizing children, which is the reversal of how things should be in a sane world. You just know that the drag time story hour creeps want to add a "P" to "LGBTQ".

I dont like nazis but even Hitler would be better than this shit. Europe should wake up very quickly.

Other cultures are even worse for example In Japan or S.Korea they have this trend of idolizing Infant looking women and unfortunately other Asian countries aren't so far from their steps.

Take a look at the Filipino member and see what kind of women "he's into"

Such ideas have no suppor here. I can’t see it gaining traction in many other places either. Germany has a stereotype for weird fetish behaviour amongst some.

Poor kids. Hope no one traffic them for disgusting shit

In the 1970s homosexuality and paedophily were treated essentially equally. Since then homosexuality has become viewed "flawless" while paedophily has become the most condemned matter thinkable - both developents in an exaggerated way.

They are now just taking back some of the most pronounced exaggerations compared to other crimes.

At all criminalising the posession of whatever documents is a close to unique legal condition.

I don't like it for principal reasons. Because the step to then criminalise the possession of other documents with "not appropriate" content, f. i. political content, is not far at all. Why not also criminalising the possession of such "devlish" things like racist literature?

All that now throw stones and scream "burn the witch!" (figuratively) should have some thoughts on thiat.

Precautionary: If I advocate against a life sentence punishment for a theft, it doesn't mean that I'm pro theft or even a thief.

Not approving of it, but decades ago there used to be films with underaged actors in sex scenes. In Germany there used to even exist a magazine for teens (Bravo) where they answered questions about sexuality and showed nudity of 15 yos and older. In the past people followed more the 'ghost of the law' rather than the letter of it, hence you see such decisions getting made today in making a past situation more in line with the letter.

For instance, the Dutch film 'Schatjes' used to be widely popular when I was younger, nowadays would be labeled 'child pornography'. Back in the day people didn't look at it that way. Just a mainstream movie when I grew up.

Don't just think times have gone crazy compared to past generations. The boomer generation was the worst in this.
