This is my opinion, humble though it might be..
Since when do people tell us what to think? Well the government seems to think by bringing in this new law stating what we should or shouldn't do or look at or even think about is wrong. I mean by looking at simple images or storing them on your computer. This is so wrong it is amazing. Where are the laws protecting us our human rights to think and enjoy what we like?
In my humble opinion I don't think that activities that bring us so much pleasure, as well as recording them either by pictures or video, should be illegal after all it does no one who looks at them much harm neither does the consensual play that happens to leave a mark or two afterwards. If someone who doesn't like such things stumbles upon them on the internet they can simply close the page. It is a matter of choice. There has been no link found between those who murder for their own sadistic pleasure and these images it has only been assumed so.
Yes we should protect children, but it is up to those who look after children to stop them accessing such things. It always has been so since the certification of movies and the internet began. For ages porn has been available to those who want access to it, yet its only recently has people begun to question it. It is the same with these images, of a 'violent nature' which we know to be fake and done for the pleasure of those who find it so.
To sum up simply it is the freedom to choose, to think, to find pleasure in things that others might find abhorrent that this law is seeking to curtail. I in turn find it abhorrent that the government is making this knee jerk law to 'protect' us. It is not protecting us but stifling us and making criminals out of innocent people.
This shouldn't happen!

Applauds ....... and thank you. "Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph." Haile Selassie, 1892-1975 |
