"I have to disagree. If the police has a list of known sites then they should contact the hosts and have the sites shut down instead of merely blocking them"
Yeh, i'd agree with that. That was the point i was trying to make, blocking...shutting them down...pot-tay-toe, pot-tah-toe.
"I think a greater solution is to march pedophiles into concentration camps. They deserve it, they aren't Jews or gays or sapient or animals"
Yeh, shall we not. That solution is as moronic as the view of 'bringing the death sentence back'. By simply killing them we treat the symptom, not the cause.
If, however, we subjected them, as well as serial offenders of any crime, to human experimentation whilst they're alive, we then have a greater chance at discovering the cause and then finding a cure.
"Anyone telling me what I can and can't watch will swiftly be given the finger"
I'd agree usually, but in this case people are being harmed. Well, children are being harmed, and by allowing people to watch you create a 'fanbase', which means more children get harmed to supply the base with it's kicks.
It seems that most on this site seem to be thinking in the usual Black and White way of liberal Hippies. The World isn't Black and White, by banning one thing you don't ban everything, and vice versa.
I look at it this way - the ends justify the means.
If, by limiting a persons freedom to view something, you spare a few thousand kids in the process, that's fine. 'But will it spare them?', possibly. Some kids may only get abused because they get so many people wanting to see more of that material.
Such sites tend to be high money earners, anyway, so take away the sites and you take away the money, meaning you take away the desire to risk their lives for the cash.
There is, though, the argument that if you let people view such things, that satiates their feelings and they feel less inclined to actively go out and do the stuff they're watching.
Meh.
