You are the one needing a course in logic. You can't construct a syllogism of my statements above which is flawed, as they don't depend on consistency. My arguments rest on objective moral standards. Of course if you wish to maintain that censure of pedophilia is subjective, then feel free to show yourself without conscience or decency.

Strawman, Ad hominem and shifting the onus of proof all in one post. I have to admit, even I'm impressed.

I never condoned child pornography. I'm simply trying to show the inconsistencies in your arguments.

You can claim that moral standards are objective, but being that they have changed over the course of time and differ among cultures and indivduals, I think it's hard to prove that they are, although you're more than welcome to do so.

You stated that Google was wrong for not allowing the free dissemination of information in China. You later said that they would wrong for NOT restricting the free dissemination of information.

Now I'm not disagreeing with you that child pornography is morally reprehensible; I doubt that many people would. I'm simply curious how you can, in nearly the same breath, both condemn and applaud the restriction of the freeflow of information.
