Pete Townshend admits downloading child porn

[Lancer]

In that case, let their rotting corpses be a warning to all those that follow. Child molesters

[Datajack Franit]

Police never shut a pedophile site until they can track all the users of a certain network- they just monitor every illegal site they get in touch and, when they think they tracked enough people, bust in their homes and kick the crap out of those filthy pigs!

I can't agree. When systematic abuse and torture of children becomes a profitable industry, those buying the products are just helping propagate evil.

I would agree. And anyone who doesn't let them become a parent and see how quickly their view of the world would change. Bottom line on it is do you want some sick puppy looking at your child?

I agree w/ Trappist and Tiamat. This man should be locked up for a very long time.

Shi, while letting Bubba have a go at him in the prison shower is certainly a good idea, I think the death penalty is better than what child molesters deserve. That way kids will be safe from these monsters. Also, if a child is molested the parents will be able to tell the kid, "that bad man can't hurt you anymore, he's dead."

It's too easy for them to get away with this- cops should cut their cocks away with a knife and let them live a long, pathetic life, hated by every single person of the country. That's why I'm always death penalty, if the crime is really that repulsive either they get killed in prison or manage to become insane rotting inside a 1x3mts cage

Very timely thread Laz. I saw a program on 48 hours this week that was to the subject. I was totally amazed at the level on stupidity the parents of these children exhibited and even the fact that some of these mothers saw a way for their girls to "progress their modeling carreres" by doing this. Ok.....question how many of the top modeling agencies like Whilemina, Ford, Vogue etc.......really reqruit their models from the porn sites on the internet. GET REAL!!

These mothers were either nieve or out right stupid (I choose the later) in their beliefs that the fact that their 12 and 13 year old daughters were posing but not posing ludely or pornographicly while taking these pictures. Can you imagine the shocked look on the faces of these mothers when the photohgraphs of their "little girls" in nothing but langire was brought out. One of the mothers even had the neve to say she didn't see anything pornographic about it since her daughter wasn't nude

Newwflash woman!! It doesn't take much for a person who is disposed to already have pornographic thoughts about children to set them off! How stupid do you have to be. In my opinion that mother should have a daughter taken away from her or at the very least be investigated by Child Protective Services cause in my book and I do have three teenage daughters........in my book that mom wasn't looking out for the best interest of her child or protecting her.......she was pimping her.

a DP? no-ho.

what are "life in faraway punitive colonies and hard labor" sentences for? besides, imagine if he really wanted to do some research on a campaign? ( , what a lame excuse) the chance for that is not very small. I'd say around 13 percent. 1/8 chance to kill a (somewhat ) innocent man? I don't think that's fair.

I do think that child molesters should be very severly punished, though. sick puppies. ( I guess he picked that habit from all the shows. )

I'm a bit puzzled why most everyone so far thinks this guy should be given the harshest possible treatment. If he was really doing research for his autobiography, as he claims, that may be a legitimate reason to possess such materials under UK law. Granted, paying for access to a child porn site was a rather stupid way of going about it, but that doesn't mean his life should be destroyed. This guy isn't a David Westerfield here. He's also married and has children, and thinks he may have been sexually molested himself as a child. If anything, he's just another moronic celebrity. I don't think that stupidity is sufficient reason to send someone to prison to get raped by Bubba the Luvva.

EDIT: After all, look at what Michael Jackson did. Celebrities aren't known for their mastery of this thing called common sense.

Jules, we're having a rant here and you're messing things up.

So because this guy is a celebrity we give this guy a pass? They should have to follow the law just like anyone else. If he contributed to the child porn industry by paying for acsess to a website with it, he deserves to be punished.

Not because he's a celebrity, no. But there is such a thing as an honest mistake. My view is: once, with a semi-plausible reason and he admits to the mistake, no crime. If, however, it turns out he's done this sort of thing before, or does so again in the future, that would be enough to change my mind.

In today's society, pedophile is the absolute worst thing a person can be labeled as (right next to bigot). That's why I want to make damn sure the label is appropriate before it's applied to someone, regardless of celebrity status. Until this matter has been thoroughly investigated by the police, I say he's probably innocent. And I don't like it when other people make snap judgments either.

Here endeth my rant.

So, any bets on how high a re-release of "The Kids are All Right" would chart?

I could invent myself into a parent and tell the whole forum a sob story about it.
