And that doesn't count as child porn why? Just wondering.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

The level of flouride in our water system is so low that it isn't anywhere close to harmful.  In fact, you'll be unhealthier drinking water WITHOUT flouride in it.
Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

Even the worst union is better than the best Walmart.

Because the kids are taking a bath, not getting molested.

And who knows our average daily intake? Why whoever figured out how much tap water we all drink on average. Then just multiply that bit by how ever much flouride is in a typical serving of tap water. Duh.

Parents have been charged with manufacturing child porn before when they took pictures of their kids bathing to get developed somewhere and the guy working there saw the pictures.

Here's one from the University of Texas' Daily Texan regarding the Trayvon Martin murder:

Looks like the cartoonist for that got fired.
Yup, I just saw that. Awesome.

Which I have to wonder how you prove that a character in a drawing is underage and doesn't just look young like the porn star gauge. I've also heard them say it's not that the child is naked, the child could be in what could loosely be call a provocative pose(unintentionally). It's the person's intent that matters. How the fuck do you prove what someone was thinking? Thought police?

Plus, cases of parents being arrested for taking pics of their kids in the bath really aren't as common as the media would have you believe. Almost every parent has at least one picture of their child(ren) bathing -- many of whom are now posting those images on sites like Facebook -- and very few have been arrested or hassled over it. Hell, my baby album has tons of images of me in all my naked glory, including a couple where my crotch is at least partially visible.

Side note: It would be whack if someone came along and charged me with possession of child porn over my own baby pictures.

Thing is, almost anything can be viewed as pornographic if you look at it the right (or wrong) way. It's also very difficult to legally define what is and isn't pornography. I mean, there's the whole "intent to elicit arousal" line, but like you said, it's quite hard to prove someone's intentions when we get into that weird, grey area between pornography and non-erotic nude photography.

To be honest, I can understand why some people might worry about the wrong kinds of people getting a hold of those pictures and trading/selling them for the purpose of arousal, thus violating the child's right to privacy, but in those cases, it's the sick fucks who steal and misuse the photos who should be prosecuted, not the parents who innocently took a picture of their baby's first bath.

The thing is you can be arrested for your baby pictures and charged with several felonies. It would be treated the same as a 16 year old sending naked pictures of themselves to their boy/girlfriend. It's bullshit, but that is how the law can be interpreted.

How can you be arrested for your own baby pictures though? At least with sexting, the kid's taking pictures of herself. Parents are the ones who take baby pictures. They shouldn't get in trouble for that, of course, but if anyone's going to be prosecuted, it should be the person who took the picture. But parents shouldn't be prosecuted for their kids pictures in the first place, unless the intent is obviously nefarious.

Well, some of it has to do with the question of "Is this an established character from a show"? Bart Simpson screwing some girl isn't easy to call anything besides child porn, but outside of that it would depend on the creator of the character, I imagine.

I've seen a fair amount of porn involving Bart screwing Lisa, and I wasn't even trying to find it.

And as I said, most laws in this area, no matter how good the intent, can be twisted to lock up damn near anyone.

Especially since I think it's a felony just to see CP. Though of coarse the cops(who have the largest collection of CP in the world) are exempt from this. There's no way that's ever been abused. /sarcasm

And I've seen sites like that shut down.

The first step of combating CP is actually getting the motivation, and hentai doesn't do much of a good job since no one is actually being used for it.
