Looks like this article comes directly from the Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/7723418/Japanese-government-blocks-a-ban-on-child-pornography.html That said, it seems Russia is similarly lenient on possession. You'd think they'd be mentioned in this too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_pornography_laws_in_Japan Japan, along with Russia, are the only two member countries in the G8 that have not outlawed the simple possession of child pornography itself.

Thank you. I’m not a fan of kiddie porn, or the exploitation of children, young girls, or even young women. It even bothered me that 18 to 24 year old women had to participate in a black and white pantie and tops photo shoot as a part of the Miss America process.

I think you know where I’m coming from here. Issues that should have been acknowledged, remedied, and completely cleaned up years ago are still bouncing around inside an organization that I have tried very hard not to smear.

And then this entity decided to publish something on the subject, and it angered me. The moral high ground has been abandoned on this topic, and it makes me (frankly) furious to see an entity associated with the name in any manner, try to address this type of problem as if to impart good conscience to the general public.

To my C friends, I’m sorry if that tweaks you, but from someone not a C who has tried to keep an even keel on certain matters, this just set me off.
