When sentencing a man for possessing child pornography, Nevada Judge Bill Maddox said, "These kinds of offenses are problems with impulse control. When I say that, it's my understanding that most men are sexually attracted to young women. When I say young women I don't just mean women that ... you should be attracted to. I mean women from the time they're 1 all the way up until they're 100."
... there's a line -- or deep, crocodile-infested moat -- that should be drawn between sexual attraction to babies and the unpleasant-but-natural reality of sexual attraction to post-pubescent teenagers.
The Maddox ruling doesn't recognize these distinctions. In his ruling, Maddox defined child pornography as "malum prohibitum" (an act that isn't inherently wrong) as opposed to "malum in se" (an act that is inherently wrong).
... this kind of moral philosophizing seems inappropriate coming from the bench. And setting legal and moral standards according to other cultures' values seems like a reach when we have our own cultural value system handy -- a value system that holds that sex with children is inherently wrong because children are not able to offer consent in any kind of meaningful way.

snicker ...
I wanted to add one more thing here. This isn't the product of one of those Californicated liberal judges. No siree. This was a product of true American values. The only shock was that it wasn't a Utah judge.

I have nothin useful to add beyond this, other than I been fightin the good fight on this one since the early 90's when it came to my attention that what we do to our youth is the direct source of many of our social ills.
We do unto them, they grow up, and they do unto US... hard to blame em.

As a prosecutor I can say that the only thing I look at is the "malum". If you "malum" in my City I'm putting you in jail. You can debate the "to se or not to se" all you want after that (your new husband Bubba will enjoy the pillow talk).

And here I thought the linked article was about ONE Judges ruling on a child pornography case. You sure don't mind making large leaps when it serves your purposes.

Sounds like Judge-firin' time to me. At that level, 'put brain in gear before engaging mouth' is a given.

Compared to some of the leaps and lies you've spouted adding an 's' to a sentence isn't even on the radar. But I guess selective reading and history is something you sure don't mind doing when it suits your purposes.
Hypocrite much?

Enough of that already. I sent you one discrete PM about making changes to your post after posting it. Since you are apparently not mature enough to handle that, I guess it's now everyone's business. It must have struck close to home if you are still bringing it up.

Please link al least two 'leaps and lies' I have made. Do not personally attack me without proof, that could be misinterpreted as trollish behaviour. And I am well aware of how anti-troll you are.

So adding the 's' to judge was a simple mistake on your behalf? I would be more inclined to believe that if you didn't follow it up with the following

I appologize for my crappy sarcasm. I was in no way defending those idiots or attacking you--quite the opposite really. Sadly, I often mangle these things. (The 'poofter' was a Spike thing.)
