I just watched Quadrophenia and was inspired to wear one of my Who shirts, I guess I still will, whatever. My dad says that Pete thinks he might have been molested when he was 5 or 6, he says part of 'Tommy' is about that. I wouldn't disown the Who just yet.
To write anybody's name in the world = child molester is a awful thing unless you're sure the man is guilty. And all indications are the man is not guilty. Imagine what any of us would feel like if we were accused of that and yet we knew we were Not guilty. The poor guy if he is innocent is being done the worst injustice you can imagine!!

Sure…<P>He didnt molest any children, but he did admit to looking at kiddie porn. There is no excuse for that. I mean if you suck cock then you are gay, if you kill someone you are a murdurer. You cant really use an excuse of just wanting to see what its like. Duh!
im sure if we all dig a little deeper we can link phil collins to this kiddie porn.

markie meant if you suck his cock you are gay because he pays young men to suck his meat stick.
I don't think his wife is gay and I bet she sucks his cock.

By paying to view the pictures, he was providing a market for others to violate children's rights. That in my book makes him an accessory to the crime of child molestation.<P>ACCESSORY = One who incites, aids, or abets a lawbreaker in the commission of a crime but is not present at the time of the crime

I agree with your line of reasoning, to a degree, about creating demand for child porn…would it have been less incriminating if he got the images for free? <p>[This message has been edited by Celeste (edited 01-14-2003).]
This could open an interesting debate about images vs. reality. Would it be wrong to create or posess paintings depicting "child pornography", in which no children were actually involved?<P><p>[This message has been edited by Celeste (edited 01-14-2003).]
Psychoanalyzing total strangers based on their songs is about as valid as doing it on the basis of what they type on a goofy message board. Peter Gabriel wrote the intensely creepy "Intruder," but I doubt he gets a chubby from contemplating home invasion, and Mick Jagger isn't the Midnight Rambler. As for Townshend, I adhere strictly to "innocent until proven guilty" for nobodies and somebodies alike, regardless of what they're accused of. <P>Have you noticed that some TV/radio reports are (unintentionally) making it sound almost as if he's suspected of being involved in a child porn or pedophilia ring or distribution network rather than Net viewing? At least they do initially; then eventually they get to the website information, but it creates a misleading impression for drive-by listeners. <P>While it's fine to bust the alleged consumers of the product, I'm not sure it's the best use of limited law enforcement resources–just as jailing illegal drug users doesn't have much effect on the supply side. It probably just encourages serious pedophiles to get even more crafty. The vast majority of these folks ain't using their own credit cards openly on public sites, that's for sure. Using Web activity as a starting point for tracking the big gun distributors and active pedophiles makes sense, but arresting (even in the more flexible Brit manner) someone on the basis of one credit card hit seems a bit like spitting on a forest fire. <BR>

It seems to me if he were doing legitimate research, that should not be a crime, and that person should not go to jail.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by markie:<BR><B> I agree, but it does send a clear message to anyone else wanting to do research of their own…..
