    If Google really wanted to they could stop child !!!!!! on the internet over night, I have no doubt.

    I would stick to the burgers.

    Probably not.

    However, if Tom and Jerry wasn't a cartoon, but real life, cat's would have to be hurt for your enjoyment.

    Are you for real? If there are loads of people out there actively searching for videos of kids getting raped then people will supply that by filming and raping kids in some nightmare part of the world. If people wanting to watch causes it to happen then there you go.

    By watching and creating a demand then someone will supply. Now tell me more about what Tom and Jerry have to do wih child abuse.

    But would you pay to watch T&J knowing that the money you were giving was being used to promote the torture of cats?

    As long as people pay to view child !!!!!!, even if they have no interest in actually partaking, the people producing the pictures and films will continue making them.
    It's a business like any other. If the revenue dries up, the business closes down.

    Are you a psychologist ?

    If they stop people viewing images of crimes and crime scenes in this country then that reduces the number of people who get off on it in this country. Which makes this country slightly safer. Getting onto the mega Billionaire search engines and telling them to stop it is the way to go along with the other measures in place. If Google really wanted to they could stop child !!!!!! on the internet over night, I have no doubt.

    Kids were being abused long before the internet came along. Not seeing something wont stop them abusing kids. Those thoughts have always been there, they dont watch a child being abused and think i'm going to try that, they were already turned on by it in the first place - else they wouldnt have been searching for it.

    All kiddie !!!!!! does is delay the abuse. Sometimes only by a few years, sometimes by decades.

    Personally I think they should be given the death penalty but apparently thats "inhumane" (and their treatment of kids isnt? ha yeah right).

    Given that a lot of people who are attracted to child !!!!!! were themselves abused, it seems somewhat unfair that as well as suffering abuse the child may well end up being executed because the lasting effect of that abuse leads them down the road of abuser.

    What we, as a society, need to do is to find ways of finding people who have these desires and helping them overcome them thus stopping the abuse, rather than executing them after the event.

    Of course, that's much easier said than done.
