This is what I mean about reading comprehension. You don't even know what my opinion on lifetime probation or the US carceral system is, and you're not going to know, because it's completely unrelated to why your comments are disgusting. Your comments are disgusting because of your extreme downplaying of the serious sexual offense that is at play here. First you described it as "just some bad pictures", and then you're straight up denying reality about the harm possession causes, just saying "nuh uh!" when it's pointed out to you. Why? Why are you so set on defending child pornography every time it comes up? Is there something on your computer history someone should look into?
Here are some facts for you, wwwarea, about why seeking out, collecting, and distributing child sex abuse media is completely, absolutely indefensible:
If you have any shred of empathy in your body, you should then see that it's not "just pictures" or "not that bad". If you have any sense of self-preservation, you should hope that your real name will never be linked to your vehement, repeated defenses of child pornography.

It directly leads to an increase in child sexual abuse - because more children are abused to meet the increased production
A large percent of people who possess child pornography possess particularly violent pornography such as torture, and an even larger percent (at the time of the study) both possessed child pornography and sexually abused real-life children. It's an indicator of danger to children.
Pedophiles collect child pornography for three reasons: to fuel their own sexual fantasies (which leads to increased cognitive distortions validating child sexual abuse), to groom or blackmail children for child sexual abuse, and to share online with other pedophiles, which grants them "status" in those circles. Higher "status" is achieved by producing original child sex abuse content, (see above links) which in turn drives the production of new child pornography, aka increased child sexual abuse.
Child pornography harms the victims for life, mentally and sometimes physically. (See above links.) No, PTSD cannot be cured.
