Child Pornography in Public Schools?

Yes.

Most of you probably experienced it without even realizing it.

Most of us have probably seen the 1968 film Romeo and Juliet in high school.

What you probably didn’t realize or care about, was the fact that Olivia Hussey who played Juliet was only fifteen when she starred in it. So, the topless scene she does in the movie, is by definition, child pornography.

Sounds like a must see. Where can I download?

Squaring numbers is just like women; If they’re under 13 just do them in your head. (I know I’m a little old for Bo Burnham)

I recall watching that in 9th grade also. I remember that her face and said nude scene were the only reason to watch that film. Romeo and Juliet otherwise is only entertaining for its over dramatic plot and use of archaic words.

Unless you live in some Mexican states, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, the Phillipines or Japan, I think you mean 16.

I think it’s rather bizarre a play that ends in a dual teen suicide is promoted as a prime example of good adolescent love.

I think this blog is a pretty cool guy. Eh has links and doesn’t afraid of anything.

NO! It’s ART!!! You pervert scum. [:P]

There are a couple other films (limiting it to Western films, 15 year old nudity in film in many parts of the world isn’t that uncommon.)

One example is Pretty Baby, a movie from the late '70s that caused some controversy with a nude 12 year old Brooke Shields, but not much

As long as it’s for art any kind of nudity is fine! regardless of the reason behind it… as long as you don’t touch! gotta love those old puritan guidelines.

The most absurd and hilarious point about both of these films is that the minors who appeared nude, are not legally allowed to see themselves nude in a film.

This also reminds me of a legal case my father had. A boyfriend and his girlfriend had sex while their friend was taping them. For some reason, this was taken to court and the court tried to bring child pornography charges against them, (they were all minors). Again, it would be illegal for them to watch or possess a video of themselves having sex, because it would be child pornography. Nevermind that it’s their own body.

Someone pointed out a rather disturbing precedent that judgements like that (for example, girls being arrested for having pictures of themselves exposing their breasts on web cameras) could mean, if you take it to it’s logical conclusion, that underage Onanites are child molesters.

So… just um.. gonna kick this around…

What do libertarians think of…

Child… stuff…

My personal taste is girls between 17 and 21 (my girlfriend just turned 19), but I suppose you mean what do we think of how the State handles it. I think it’s pretty sick how the State uses the money they stole from us to sit around and trick people into clicking a link which contains a naked girl/boy and then putting them behind bars for years and ruining their lives. It’s even more disgusting how the State sets an arbitrary age (18) and everyone thinks it’s morally wrong and that you’re a raging pedophile for even glancing at a woman/man under that age.

However, I’d see no problem with a charity or some organization investigating what looks like pictures or videos of non-consenting girls/boys and exposing the persons behind it. They can then take whatever actions they think would be most effective (informing neighbors, insurance company, school, employer, local stores) in order to tarnish reputation and pressure the persons to stop.

I meant like children’s sized bikes and sesame street. Don’t know where you got child porn from.

Does this imply that you think the consent of a 5 year old is legitimate? I feel like we’re all walking on landmines here…

I meant like child sized bikes and sesame street. Don’t know where you got CP from.

Does this imply you think the consent of a 5 year old is legitimate? I feel like we’re all walking on landmines on this issue ><

Personally? No, I don’t. That’s why I’d maybe choose to not do business with a person whom I was informed was engaged in sexual activity with a five-year-old, given the information I’m told about this perosn. But, that’s just me. Other people might not care and will think nothing of doing business with him/her.

But CP addicts can do CP in the privacy of their homes and you’d never know!!! Without the state there would be no organization to catch CP consumers!!! Save us leviathan state!

What 5 year old owns property?

And by that, I mean land. Or a house. That could be a form of rebuttal. What property owner is going to consent to that type of activity on their land?

It’s not the consumers we need to be worried about(I read somewhere[Christian news site] that a lot of people who actually act out those fantasies use adult porn, anyway).

Purveyors of CP!

And how is the 5 year old going to get their by consent?

Kids will do anything for candy :smiley:
