I abhor censorship in any form.

The thought police have tried to stifle free speech and expression for centuries. Fortunately the human spirit has always prevailed.

Whilst I find stories of parents and others abusing children offensive as I do with snuff stories, the solution is simple - I don't read them.

As Voltare is so often quoted "I disagree with what you say but will fight until the day I die for your right to say it"

Besides it is all so contradictory. How the churches can oppose snuff movies when they so openly supported the recent Mel Gibson movie "The last passion of Christ" escapes any logic.

Besides the distinction that others have made between fantasy and reality is perfectly valid. I read Harry Potter but I don't believe in magic. I read crime novels but have never robbed anyone let alone own or fire a gun.

Thank God for sites like this and congratulations to those with courage enough to set them up
