Seriously enough to still be talking about it and defending Townsend.
Yes, of course I do.
Or, perhaps, I just don't take the opinions of false accusers too seriously.
Townsend and Child Porn?

So your saying you would access those sites if you know how to and there was no chance of committing a crime and no chance of going on the sex offenders list?......is that what your saying.
More false accuser logic. The people demanding that Townshend be denied entry to the United States are using a police caution for one offence to falsely accuse him of another. At no point have I said that the actual offence was not wrong. I have only said that it cannot be used as evidence that Townshend committed the far worse offence that he is being falsely accused of.
You, and anyone else suggesting Townshend be denied entry, are guilty of simple logical fallacy.
It's this simple. If a man buys a gun illegally and then that gun is used by someone else to kill someone, that man is guilty of buying an illegal gun, not murder.
Funny, I thought everything I say was a joke.
It still is.
How could you use Mr. Burns as an example and still expect people to take you seriously?
The comment was intentionally daft in order to highlight the fact that your idea of guilt makes it sound like he's guilty of every crime ever, including the ones committed before he was born.
It's as simple as this - if the police thought Pete Townshend was a paedophile he would be performing in his prison talent show, not a Superbowl. If you believe otherwise, provide evidence that can be used in a court of law.
HANG PETE TOWNSHEND FROM THE HIGHEST TREE IN ENGLAND FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
Will the absurd statements ever end?

You do see that it's intentionally absurd, right ?
I don't think driving a Lincoln Continental in to a hotel swimming pool is a crime against humanity. Oh, wait, that was Keith Moon.
I never understand why these people are willing to give their credit cards to obviously illegal sites. That and bringing a broken computer in to be fixed is how they invariably get caught. If the Internet has taught us one thing is that you can find anything you want for free if you are willing to look around long enough. Haven't pedophiles ever heard of Japanese search engines?
Your dodging the question, would you at any time access these sites....of course you would not, there is no excuse that can explain why anybody in their right mind would want to sit in their home and access that type of stuff never mind pay for it....the only people that access these sites have some serious issues and need to be registered on the sex offenders register for life.
He needs to go on a stupid, naive person's register, nothing more.
But whatever register he goes on, there is nothing to suggest that allowing him to perform with his band at the Superbowl would put anyone in any danger.
Checking up on this story, it seems he accsessed the site in 1999, the police went after him in 2003 and after an investigation of the computers and materials in his home no child porn was found. So it seems all we have is this one instance of him using a credit card on one site 10 years ago.
First of all, yeah, it's illegal to go to these sites so he fudged up there. But he deserves the benefit of the doubt he was on the site for research for a now abandoned book and that the man is not a fan of child pornography.
In the grand scheme of things it seems foolish for American officials to ask that he register as a sex offender for one website he visited 10 years ago following which no further abuse of child-porn laws has ever been found.
That's the price for stupidity when you access a site that's red flagged for a zero tolerance crime.
There can be no justice so long as laws are absolute.
If you honestly believe a grown man can naively enter his credit card detail into a site to access child pornography then their is not much you wont believe.
Anyway the authorities over there seem to have some common sense unlike over here when after 5 years sex offenders are removed from the register, although i have yet to read about the cure they administer to all the sex offenders that mean they wont reoffend after 5 years.
He did something he admitted he knew was wrong and illegal, especially if he already knew the conequences due to his "research". So justice is being served and I'm sure he's well aware of it.
^The attempts to block his entry have not yet been successful. So far any action is purely hypothetical.
Of course, I do wonder if the groups attempting to block his entry have applied quite such stringent background checks to the players. Whatever teams end up playing in the Superbowl, no doubt at least one of their players will have been a victim of some kind of false accusation in the past.

Exactly!!
Townsend is supposed to be against child porn & doing a book against it but has no clue that going on such a site and entering his personal credit card info is going to get him in trouble? What research has he actually done if he didn't know something as simple as that?
