I hope he gets hit by a truck today. I really do. There isn't, nor will there ever be an argument where the enablement of child molestation and rape is acceptable. And if there is collateral damage, then so be it. I'd rather 100 go to jail wrongfully accused than to enable 1 child to be rape. This guy make me sick. Seriously Rick, please kill yourself.

I'm not 100% sure if you read the article, but the _first_ _point_ is that making criminalizing child pornography (therefore causing 100 innocent people to wrongfully go to jail) will, in the future, enable more child rapes.

The possession of child pornography carries harsher penalties than the act of raping the child in the first place, which is I think wrong on a very obvious level, but by your (hopefully knee-jerk) reply, is a position you would agree with.

> The possession of child pornography carries harsher penalties than the act of raping the child in the first place, ...

And the rape carries higher penalties than recklessly killing them.

Thank you for addressing me personally and wishing my premature death. However, I have no intention of obliging you in this particular matter.

Cheers and enjoy the Sunday night, Rick

Okay, fine, I'm being an asshole.

[godDLL]

I don't think that's an accurate assessment of your behaviour. You're doing the asshole thing on the Internet, which makes you a globally accessible asshole.

When I and others say, "The quality of discussion at HN has diminished of late", and others respond, "I don't see it," I will refer them to your comment history and the fact that you have positive karma for it.

Please read the article before you comment. The author doesn't suggest at anytime that child molestation and rape are acceptable nor that they should be legalized.

[ThePherocity]

I read the article. The author intends to create an environment where a select few take a risk so many can gain access to the material.

[mekwall]

Read the article again. Child molestation and rape is obviously never acceptable (except to the most disturbed of minds), but the same should be said about putting innocents in jail. You lower yourself to the most abysmal level to wish Rick upon this fate.

[guard-of-terra]

But what if you have 100 people wrongfully accused while still not saving that one child? "Well, it was worth a shot anyway?"

[stickfigure]

I sincerely hope that you someday find yourself one of those 100 wrongfully accused.
