Six Greensburg, Pennsylvania high-schoolers, found out to be exchanging nude pictures of themselves via text message this past November, have now been charged with child pornography, according to FOX News.

Three unidentified girls between the ages of 14 and 15 allegedly sent nude pictures of themselves to three boys, all between 16 and 17. Apparently, the school found out when one student's cell phone was confiscated for being used during school hours. Said pictures were stored in the phone.

This news, filed under 'sexting,' comes on the heels of a similar story, having taken place on the other side of the country. There is a big difference here, though. While the Seattle teenagers were kicked off the cheerleading team, the Greensburg teenagers are being charged as criminals.

While we all know that child pornography is a problem that should be taken very seriously, we also know the difference between middle-aged men illegally obtaining images of nude pre-pubescent children and teenage girls voluntarily giving nude images of themselves to teenage boys. The former is criminal behavior, and warrants prosecution by the state; the latter is dumb, and warrants a whupping from a parent. [From: FOX News]


At the moment, I have no words for this. Just the title of this thread and agreement with the last line in the article.
THIS is my side, THIS is the demiltarized zone, and THAT is your side.

"Good and Evil" is too complicated. I prefer, "Us and Them".

LOL! I had a conversation with a friend about the meaning of Child pornography because we have a friend in common who enjoys loli.

What is loli? It's Hentai featuring children.

Basically I called the friend in common a future predator and he got emo on me.

My first friend told me that in a way, if we were to take a harmless picture of our baby in the tub nude that would be considered child pornography.

Haha, that's a funny ass article. The guys around here used to love trying to get pictures of the girls they liked naked, but we didn't used to have texting so we had to do it by computer. Is that different?

Loli apparently doesn't count as child pornography because they aren't real girls. Which is why you can also murder and disembowel naked anime girls for your sexual enjoyment and not be judged by the law. You'll still be judged by your friends though apparently. But if child predators can get satisfaction out of drawn children then let them, that way they hopefully won't hurt any real little girls/boys.

Xantar: And for your information, I didn't call on any minions. They got into this on their own, and they seem to be having a blast.

Marci: Screw you too, I'm not your minion.

Xantar: Also, Makokam is not my minion. Just thought I'd point that out.

But sometimes the Hentai isn't enough and they still feel the need to act out, ya know?

It's like how they say viewing violence as a child can lead to self-esteem, abusive or anger issues.

So how does watching cartoon kiddie porn not work the same?

Hell, even when you mess their bodies chemically up they still have urges and find other tools to use in acting out.

They use images yeah but that only lasts for a short period of time. There is nothing like the warmth of another human being and isn't that what everyone wants?

There was an episode of this on some show. I think it was law and order SVU. Some 19 year old kids was presenting a slide show of photos he had taken in for an art class. Some of the pics had like 8 year old girls naked doing nothing but standing there. Obviously all hell broke loose but the kid wasn't being sexual. When they interogated him he was like: "It was really just an attempt at capturing innocence. It was two little girls playing and they were naked. It's the adults that made it pornographic, the little girls were innocent as rain.

Granted the guy still ended up going to jail, but it raises interesting questions about what pornography is and isn't.

I was still in school and my phone was confiscated and the school had the audacity to search through the pictures?

Isn't that illegal first? Or do high schools still have that right

It is illegal... although more then likely the kid was looking at the text before the phone was taken.

FYI: Loli(Lolicon) is a specific term used for a (mostly sexual) fascination with younger anime girls. The term used for boys is Shota(Shotacon).

Just a little lesson for y'all.


And to be honest, I agree with the final part of the article.

I mean, if you want to get really technical it's still child pornography, but...it was sent to someone her own age. It's incredibly stupid(and since it was sent via the internet you can bet your ass it's going to end up on a child porn website somewhere), but I don't think it needs to be dealt with via law enforcement and the court system. I think the kids involved need to be punched upside their heads for being fucking morons and then properly educated about all the problems involved with what they are doing.

This is stupid. Thats about all I can think of. Add the fact that whilst this whole thing is going on, REAL sexual predators and pedophiles are still out there it just becomes ridiculous.

I mean come on, raging hormones and sexual tension is like 60% of what highschool is all about. I agree with Trippy that they should have been been fucking educated in the shit that they landed themselves in, not bringing the cops into it. The fact is that a stupid mistake like this has now fucked up their lives majorly, and it's simply not right. Police should be focusing in taking down the pedophiles out there, not some ignorent randy teenagers.

As for loli and shota, I dont agree with that shit either. I like hentai and as an artist I dont see anything wrong with nudes or drawn sex (One of my favourite artists is Gil Elvgren, famous for his works with the old American pinup gals).

Hell look at the old Tijuana bibles from like the 30's. Drawn pornography has been around for decades without so much attention that it gets these days. But loli make my stomache fucking turn.

I like my hentai with a good deal more gravity defying breasts, Keitaro-like humor and a bit of tentacle (because, lets face it, all hentai has tentacle these days :D )

I eat babies. Also, read my fanfics.

So...do you have any interest in necrophilia?

Dragon: drops off all his drunk buddies at each other's ex-girlfriends' houses


Mystic Gohan: xantar has had his lasting effects on our easily influenced minds
Mystic Gohan: hes probably at home cackling as we speak


Me: Xantar never really talks unless you talk to him first.
Marci: And that will hold until he makes the first move. I've learned. Don't ever go into a Xantar conversation blind.
It's like going swimming naked. You make sure there aren't any sharks nearby and that you don't have any open wounds first.
