(The old "If they do it, so can I!" argument I think, is weak)
I guess my own belief is there are lines in the sand. A beauty pageant where a component may be a swimsuit competition, to me, isn't something I'd watch or condone but IMO doesn't quite cross the line. Owning/operating a site featuring under 18 girls in non-nude (but presumably sexy or teasing) poses and charging for memberships, again - to me, crosses that line. I don't think it's criminal, but morally, I don't agree.

I think i just proved that there isnt a line in the sand , theres a line in your MIND that can only be drawn once you have seen it in action , as you very words indicate that the content isn't dangerous by itself only how its shown.
Also in your own words your saying that a beauty pageant is moral as long as its not on the internet .. Thats pretty low thinking dont you think ?
Again i think with all this arguing you will end up agreeing with me by your very own words...
The content itself isnt the question so , making a bland statement like EVERY SITE THAT HAS ANYONE UNDER 18 CLOTHED OR NOT IS IMMORAL. is just not true
When infact i think everyone would agree , that although legal the only way to tell if something is morally wrong i to make your own judgement by viewing the material and either agreeing with it or disagreeing with it.. But to just say anyne who profits from children is immoral is just ignorance and excludes everyone on the planet.
