"Debono you have totally missed the point as we are not discussing nude children per se. "
Dili
Your arguments lose something when you don't read properly.
Suggest you try again and see who missed which point.
your NB point also lacks sincerity
If you read a tad more carefully I agree with most of your views on this subject.
However you don't argue your points very well.
As for the rest of the posts following mine that support the displaying of naked children, your posts lack substance, integrity and any logic.
Lets re post a few of the great supporting arguements thus far for violating the innocence of a child by publicly displaying their nudity for profit.
In no order of stupidity or relevance
"Yes the parents that let their kids run naked are sick.
They will be probably sent to prison soon for this horrid offence."
"I was watching a pocket sized gymnast and diver doing their things today on TV.
May I suggest that these waifs are far more "abused" than any artist's model, especially if the modeling is done within the home environment.
And I won't even mention the apparent disparity between what constitutes "abuse" of boys and girls, if the Church's actions were considered"
"Protection? Has it worked this far? Any stats that keeping kids in nappies until they are 15 works? "
"Morals are a mind set based on conditioning. Wasn't that long ago our mind was set to believe that homosexuals were nasty pieces of equipment, locked up they were. Now days flavour of the month, funny that."
"Two seperate neighbours during these past summers have their kids running around naked at times...big deal! Myself and other neighbours make nothing out of it.
When I and the other kids grew up we all had photos of us naked. You should see all the christening nude photos!"
How can so many people completely miss the point?
all the above is totally irrelevant to the issue and a very poor attempt at justification
