Child Porn Not a Crime in Majority of Interpol Member Countries
The International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children recently announced the findings of its global reviw of child ponography laws. The study found that more than half of the 184 Interpol member countries (95) studied have no laws addressing child pornography and in many other countries, the existing laws are inadequate.
According to ICMEC, only five countries have laws considered comprehensive enough to make a significant impact on the crime (Australia, Belgium, France, South Africa, and the United States). Only 17 other countries, according to the report, were in substantial compliance with the recommended criteria set by ICMEC.

What stupid American law considers "child porn" isn't child porn to me...
I'm 20 years old and 16 year old girls are only 4 years younger than me and they're still hot.
