Keats, I agree. Further, it would lead to outlawing books like the Fire and Ice series and the like that merely describe underage sex.

Can someone provide a link to where this was made illegal? I definitely remember reading that it was declared legally protected speech. Was this overturned?

[edit: I'd look myself, but I'm not doing searches on "virtual child pornography" from work. Sorry.]

Have you seen the stuff coming out of Japan right now?

None of those girls look a day older than 10 years old.

Smoking marijuana fits nicely here. Yet the government makes it illegal.

Of course I am of the opinion that they have no right to do so.

At that point, though, your parameters that you set in your first post of not effecting others are no longer in effect.

In all seriousness, I find the damage of the ordinary type of porn to be overwhelming.
