Child Nudity

[mick]

If anyone was in any doubt about this so called artist then read his comments as posted on his wife's website.
Unambigiously, there for all to see.
Yes, not being able to take photos of children playing sport etc is a form of moral idiocy, but we live in a very unbalanced age.
But this is on a very very different level, and it reminds everyone that a few in the art world use art as a cover for there own sick thought processes.
Creep is the most polite word i can think of for Nelson.

The most disturbing aspect to all this is that Nelson is a father...............

Yep I read the father's comments, pyscho-babble, but very disturbing

No not in minority mate -- as you correctly said most (including me) have no real interest in children over 10 years (perhaps more accurately past baby stage).

Problem is in the question -- do the pictures create the desire to criminally offend in the 1% or will the criminal offense occur anyway -- do the pictures really play a part in the equation --- there is limited evidence to suggest they do.

My issue as stated below is the wasting limited Police/court resources on overkill methods for clearly political reasons while not chasing the real offenders who conceal & protect offenders. Read the first four paragraphs from today's Advertiser article ---- should the Police be following this up or some minor art works that have been around for many years -- I know what I wished they were doing.

I agree with you oldfeella and with Wedgie as well, I think the current hullabaloo over this issue is a cynical non-partisan exercise in vote catching and being seen to be in the vanguard of "public opinion" largely created by the media in search of a beat-up. The binge drinking thing is another.

Yes. I also thinks it acts as distraction to real issues. Gets us watching the left hand while the right pinches the wallet

Protecting childhood isn't a real issue??? F*** me dead.

Those up in arms over childhood protection are probably people who are quite happy to be a billboard for clothing companies who exploit children in sweatshops. Geez, how about we kick and scream about catching real pedos and child exploiters for once... Oh wait, it's yesterdays news
