The other topic was getting long and off topic.

But I define right and wrong by the harm an action causes.

I believe punishment of an action should be equivalent to the harm the action caused.

Producing child porn causes a lot of harm to the children involved. But watching child porn causes little to no harm...

Criminalising the act of watching child porn is punishing a consumer of a product.

It's like criminalising people that use cosmetics tested on animals rather than the companies that produce the cosmetics by testing on animals.

I don't believe watching child pornography should be free game. But look at the punishments given out. It's akin to the punishment for rape...

Look at this tree. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time [...] No matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.
