5/30 Pedophile Europeans want the legal age to lower to 12:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060530/od_nm/dutch_pedophiles_dc
\_ "The party wants private possession of child pornography to be
allowed although it supports the ban on the trade of such materials."
Uh... what's the point of that?
\_ Umm.. so they can make their own?
\_ It's the "go after the producer not the consumer" model. Lots
of countries do that for drug laws. If you make and sell a
shitload of drugs they will go after you. IF you have a couple
hits of e on you they won't hassle you.
\_ Right, well explained. I think the people who are proposing
this don't get that child porn actually involves a victim.
\_ They get it. They don't care. Criminals don't care about
their victims. If they did they wouldn't commit the crime
in the first place.
\_ But "It's the demand, stupid" They wouldn't have to target
drug traffickers if possession were a serious crime.
(Personally I think drug laws are stupid, but that's not the
point in this case)
\_ Uhh, for many drugs possession IS a serious crime. And
yet wow, would you look at that, there is still demand.
Hell, for child porn possession is a serious crime and
yet it sure sounds like there is still plenty of demand.
\_ In Holland it is common for super extreme groups to have a small
but marginalized voice in the government. This is a bit more
excessive than usual... |

| news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060530/od_nm/dutch_pedophiles_dc Reuters Pedophiles to launch political party Tue May 30, 1:03 PM ET AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch pedophiles are launching a political party to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations to 12 from 16 and the legalization of child pornography and sex with animals, sparking widespread outrage. The party said it wanted to cut the legal age for sexual relations to 12 and eventually scrap the limit altogether. "A ban just makes children curious," Ad van den Berg, one of the party's founders, told the Algemeen Dagblad (AD) newspaper. "We want to make pedophilia the subject of discussion," he said, adding the subject had been a taboo since the 1996 Marc Dutroux child abuse scandal in neighboring Belgium. Other politicians only talk about us in a negative sense, as if we were criminals," Van den Berg told Reuters. The Netherlands, which already has liberal policies on soft drugs, prostitution and gay marriage, was shocked by the plan. An opinion poll published Tuesday showed that 82 percent wanted the government to do something to stop the new party, while 67 percent said promoting pedophilia should be illegal. "They make out as if they want more rights for children. But their position that children should be allowed sexual contact from age 12 is of course just in their own interest," anti-pedophile campaigner Ireen van Engelen told the AD daily. Right-wing lawmaker Geert Wilders said he had asked the government to investigate whether a party with such "sick ideas" could really be established, ANP news agency reported. Kees van deer Staaij, a member of the Christian SGP party, also demanded action: "Pedophilia and child pornography should be taboo in every constitutional state. Breaking that will just create more victims and more serious ones." The party wants private possession of child pornography to be allowed although it supports the ban on the trade of such materials. It also supports allowing pornography to be broadcast on daytime television, with only violent pornography limited to the late evening. Toddlers should be given sex education and youths aged 16 and up should be allowed to appear in pornographic films and prostitute themselves. Sex with animals should be allowed although abuse of animals should remain illegal, the NVD said. The party also said everybody should be allowed to go naked in public and promotes legalizing all soft and hard drugs and free train travel for all.
