My sensibilities don't match yours, that much is clear.

Censorship is also squelching my opinion about such matters. I can't believe I'm sitting here feeling guilty.

Did the dead woman, or the baby, have any say in the posting of those pictures? Do you think the mentally handicapped individuals thought about all the pros and cons of doing such a photo shoot, and made a clear, informed decision to go for it? Perhaps they were trying to make society aware that handicapped people, just like you and me, have active sex lives? Pleeeeeeeeeez. That, my dear, is exploitation.

Yeah, I don't advocate child pron either.

No, that's not clear. You're making assumptions.

Censorship and self censorship are two different animals.

You absolutely should not be. You have every right to express your opinion and I'll defend that right to the dea.. well, till it hurts a little.

What determines exploitive, is the intent at the time the photographs were taken. After that, exploitive is in the eye of the beholder... their reaction to seeing them. I would guess, considering the site they were posted on, they were being exploitively used, there.

I can't answer that. But neither can you, you're making assumptions based on your reaction.

Opinion, not fact.

It's your right to be in the majority, but that's a strawman.
