I read somewhere that the argument of the Japanese government for
allowing possession of child pornography as legal is that "citizens
should be allowed to do whatever they like in the privacy of their homes
and it is wrong for a government to go into a private home and tell them
what they can look at and what not."

My main complaint though is that some countries call "child porn"
innocent erotic images and CARTOONS, that involve no sex, that makes
them lose any legitimacy when they shout "child abuse" as a reason for
banning it.
