This made me sick to my stomach just reading the first post
If you in anyway support or actually DO NOT DISAPPROVE of CP you should suffer the worst punishment on earth
if SR was in anyway ever associated with such things I would leave and never come back. CP is f*** up and I think anyone who does not disapprove of it likely is suffering from some form of mental deficiency.
Nuff said
Wow that sounds like an extremely excessive reaction to reading the first post, I think perhaps you should go to the doctor correlation is not causation you know.
Why do you feel the need to get on the forum where I buy my weed and talk about killing and blowing up motherfuckers, gore porn, and all kinds of wackadoo fucking bug-nutty boyfucking deviant weirdness bro?
Well I keep seeing people calling for the death of people who view CP, and ironically for the pedos using the same security technology as they are using for drug transactions to have the feds overcome their security, and I just cannot help but point out that they are fucking idiots. I think a better question is why can't people seem to go more than ten minutes without expressing their disgust with, and desire to kill, anybody who has ever seen a naked picture of somebody under the age of 18?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_hysteria
Mass hysteria — other names include collective hysteria, group hysteria, or collective obsessional behavior — in sociology and psychology refers to collective delusions of threats to society that spread rapidly through rumors and fear.[1] In medicine the term is used to describe the spontaneous manifestation of the same or similar hysterical physical symptoms by more than one person.[2][3]
A common manifestation of mass hysteria occurs when a group of people believe they are suffering from a similar disease or ailment.[4] Sometimes referred to as mass psychogenic illness or epidemic hysteria.[5]
dafuq is this suposed to prove
Nothing, I am just pointing out what the current situation in certain parts of the world is. There is a collective delusion that people viewing CP are a threat to society, and it has spread rapidly through rumors and fear. It is a perfect example of a contemporary case of mass hysteria.
thats it, i am done, your incredable idiocy has won.
Yeah I think I would stop trying to argue too if the only argument I had is that pictures of children are magical but other pictures are not.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias
Confirmation bias (also called confirmatory bias or myside bias) is a tendency of people to favor information that confirms their beliefs or hypotheses.[Note 1][1] People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. The effect is stronger for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs. They also tend to interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing position. Biased search, interpretation and memory have been invoked to explain attitude polarization (when a disagreement becomes more extreme even though the different parties are exposed to the same evidence), belief perseverance (when beliefs persist after the evidence for them is shown to be false), the irrational primacy effect (a greater reliance on information encountered early in a series) and illusory correlation (when people falsely perceive an association between two events or situations).
A series of experiments in the 1960s suggested that people are biased toward confirming their existing beliefs. Later work re-interpreted these results as a tendency to test ideas in a one-sided way, focusing on one possibility and ignoring alternatives. In certain situations, this tendency can bias people's conclusions. Explanations for the observed biases include wishful thinking and the limited human capacity to process information. Another explanation is that people show confirmation bias because they are weighing up the costs of being wrong, rather than investigating in a neutral, scientific way.
Confirmation biases contribute to overconfidence in personal beliefs and can maintain or strengthen beliefs in the face of contrary evidence. Poor decisions due to these biases have been found in political and organizational contexts.
Nice point, and although I think that they have many of the characteristics of confirmation bias (particularly: belief perseverance (when beliefs persist after the evidence for them is shown to be false)), I think mass hysteria is a better diagnosis. None of them are actually even finding any research or other evidence that agrees with them at all, and rather are saying they are right because they are right or calling people names, so since they have not actually even shown that they have found any actual evidence at all that confirms their beliefs, I think they cannot possibly be suffering from confirmation bias.
Cognitive dissonance also seems to be a common trait though:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance
In psychology, cognitive dissonance is the discomfort experienced when simultaneously holding two or more conflicting cognitions: ideas, beliefs, values or emotional reactions.
This is demonstrated in the people who believe that it should be illegal to view CP because the children depicted are victimized and did not consent, but legal to view other images where the subjects depicted are victimized and did not consent. They clearly hold two opposing beliefs at the same time and therefor are obviously suffering from cognitive dissonance.
