But why this is an excuse to forcefully collect money from other people who have nothing to do with this child? Todays social welfare is designed to create some kind of support for these kids. While it's doing an extremely poor job, mostly what happens is that money goes to corruption. Bottom line it doesn't work. Let's try something else: non profit organizations, charities, community support programs, etc.. Whatever it is, keep the government out of it, because, just like with everything else, they will do a poor job, while costing a fortune.

I agree, child porn is immoral and existing criminal laws should be able to target and punish the offenders as civil liberties of child are offended. This case isn't porn though. But again, this is in hands of law enforcement. There is no need for extra funding and special government agencies. But still best preventive action can be taken by responsible parents.
I have most respect for hard working entrepreneurs who care for society so much they work long hours and create jobs that employ so many of our society. Nothing better can be done to ensure harmony and prosperity than this.
Moderator: Back on topic please.

tkoind2, don't even get me started on social programs - biggest rip-off scheme in human history. they use little poor babies as excuse, but money just goes to corruption or worthless parents who use kids as excuse to get money so they can buy booze or drugs while their kids grow up to be 13 year old whores posing for old geeks in akihabara.
LFRAgain, again what you described is true, but fails to back your argument. What you describe is pure instinct. Instincts have an effect on logical thinking. So how do you expect mothers with protective instinct not to bias towards saving children while having absolutely no concern for economy, social order and civil liberties?

I think you have just the argument for me, cleo. You said protecting OUR children ins our basic instinct. Can't agree more. However someone's kids... if their parents are misfits, can't help them.

kirakira25, actually the other way around. See, when you are a parent you develop some kind of prejudice which affects your logical thinking and I can't blame you for that. You are speaking your heart and I am speaking my mind.

kirakira25 - easy to blame it on somebody else; just assume they have authority over you. funny thing - young models maybe get pressured to sexual tantalization, but you rarely see this among grad students for example. do you see the pattern here? Like I said in my first post. I could care less about what some dumb 13 year old and her deranged parents choose to do. What gets me going is that people are expecting the big brother to do something about it, although this is entirely in people's own hands!
As for me, world has bigger problems that this.

kirakira25, interesting experience, but unfortunately i can't see any relevance to this occurrence. I don't have to prove anything. innocent until proven guilty.

LFRAgain - you are a good writer, I applaud your language skills. Unfortunately English is not my native tongue, so forgive me for being brief. I will just comment on couple of your points: 1. Your calling me names for my opinion on cleaning gene pool? Uncalled for. We have overpopulated this planet largely by distributing wealth via Robin Hood politics. Gene pool can be cleaned naturally if we stop doing this. You will be amazed how good it would be for environment.
About killing movie industry: so where do we draw the line, who draws it and how government deciding anything on this matter is not dictatorship?
On America 100 years ago. Every detail you mentioned is correct, except for every single of American not liking those conditions could say "f*** you" and leave. They had all civil rights you could ever think of. It was all in the constitution, and yes, 100 years ago it did have a meaning. Voting, I am afraid has nothing to do with civil liberties, as America was never formed as a democracy. Please show me where in constitution democracy was ever mentioned. Founding fathers specifically created America as republic, not a democracy in order to avoid a gang-like mentality of majority.
Governments of the people, for the people, by the people destroyed worlds sound economy and turned it into an oligarchy of bankers and their puppet governments who would promise handouts to special interests to get votes. All that is done by support of majority, which main objective is to steal wealth from hard working successful business owners.
Your examples of indecency of what we see today are happing during this era. Obviously government attempts to fix anything has failed. I think that just gives my argument more credit. Let people take care of themselves. There is no place for government to dictate what is right and wrong.
I am sorry, but democracy is gang mentality. It is a fact and democracy never worked. History has proven it, dating as far back as Roman Empire and Ancient Greece. People want more. They will vote more, bankrupting the government as result. Look at all global government spendings and amounts of debt. Do you not see a failure here?
Show you deteriorating society? Look at literacy levels, look at corruption, misinformation, wars, central banks collapsing the economy. How is this not a deteriorating society? Few happy brothers and sisters? How about global society on virge of complete disintegration? You are failing to see the bigger picture, my friend.
I agree, criminal laws and civil liberties apply to children, meaning that parents cannot abuse, imprison, inflict bodily harm to their children. But that is as far as the government can go. They cannot force parents to do anything. If parents fail to raise their kids - gene pool cleansing. Natural survival rate for humans is much lower than it is today.
The irony of your argument is that services that you mentioned have nothing to do with government and have been delivered by private companies (and PC I built myself, thank you very much). Moreover, if government wasn't involved, we would have these products and services a lot better and cheaper.
I am all for law enforcement and government doing all they can to keep peace and civil liberties. That has nothing to do with my argument. But it doesn't give the governments the rights to dictatorship.
finally, my ideal to end all this: One is free do absolutely anything until it invades freedom and property of another being.

NYC_Samurai - I don't think you are in any position to make any judgment about me.
BurakuminDes - let's kill entire movie industry as well, as using kids as actors is such abuse!

kirakira25, can you please show me some evidence that it was the case?
and you are right, i am not a parent, but i fail to see what this prejudice has anything to do with it.
A true ideal society is based on personal responsibility. When that gets overwritten by government, people loose that sense. Even worse, when a gang naming itself democracy tries to force their understanding of common sense upon others, society deteriorates. people not agreeing with the gang automatically become loons, nutters, perverts, extremists or whatever.
We must protect ourselves from the gang of majority that tries to inflict their unjustified beliefs upon everyone. If our personal decency is acquired by ourselves, families and experience, we would be doing much better job raising our children.

i think this is one of the best posts I read on JT in a while.
BC, I mean exactly that, however if actions of parents goes against the will of kids, there may be a way for a counselor or legal adviser to get involved, but never the government.

LFRAgain,
Ok, so you insist I backup my arguments with facts, and although you have failed to do so, I will.
First, children and adults are a lot less free now than they were 100 years ago in America. When government was limited and law was defined in constitution, not by some worthless beurocrats, majority of people had more freedom.
So in my view if parents or legal guardian choose to send their kids to coal mines or to prostitution, as much as I would be against it, i think it's still their right. On the bright side, it cleans the gene pool.

griff, children are dependent on their parents and legal guardians. Not you or some bloke in the government that thinks he know what best for everyone and makes big money doing so.

LFRAgain, the ones that choose being sexual attractions for pervs will do this anyway. be that at 13 or 20 years old. I don't see that we should be wasting our energy and tax payers money to stop them.
Like I said, I absolutely don't care about these misfits (both appreciators and performers). and all that crap about becoming better society... are you a comedian? We have been having these laws and regulations for nearly a century now and we are still a crap society. Yet look at the amount of money spent on that bullcrap! At the same time individual visions of morals have been overshadowed by generalizations and self interest of few in power.
How about we try to be a free society for once. Again, you no matter how much of an adult you claim to be, you have no right to tell that girl how to live. Her parents and legal guardians do. If they mess up and raise a girl hat wants to shake her bikini arse in front of pervs at akiba - tough crap. Even freedom has its casualties.

tkoind2, why don't you be a good sport and show me the exact global regulation that shows that a bikini clad 13 year old is illegal...

You need a lesson in minding your own business. and another lesson of realizing that your are not some kind of know-it-all.
Who are you to tell these 13 year olds what to do? Why would you think government would know better? If you don't like it, steer away. I certainly do.
People mature at different age. How do you know that this 13 year old couldn't make an educated decision?
Even if not her, it should be up to her parent or legal guardian to decide. Not the government, and surely not a bunch of hypocrites on the internet news site.
