I will never make advances on a child. The law has nothing to do with it.
Still it's aggravating when people offer to cure me, just like it would a closeted homosexual to tell them they are going to hell because of how their brain is wired. Society wisened up about homosexuals, but I still have to hide.
It might be surprising that I am an opponent of child abuse; but these laws help nobody, especially children, who get terrorized with "stranger danger", "online safety" and other gobbledygook, ignoring that child abuse almost always happens within the family. Banning child porn prevents a father from abusing his child in private... how? Might as well ban condoms to prevent rape.
You think the war on drugs was a disaster? Sexual urges are even more basal than the drive toward altered states of consciousness. Abusers will abuse and druggies will drug. It sucks, and I don't know what the real solution looks like.
But this whole CP thing? It's a political tool to piggyback agendas onto, like the anti-piracy lobby or thinly veiled justification for sweeping spying programs. Anything can be justified if the discussion can be conveniently derailed into For The Children territory.
