Do we take away the ads, and make society in general responsible for the sick minds, or do we make the sick minds responsible for their own brains/actions?
Now, again, I'm in no way condoning the sexualization of children, however, I (me,me,me) don't see a child in a swimsuit and think gross thoughts...now do I think most people here think gross thoughts. It's not the child's fault. It's not the parent's fault. It's no one's fault but the pedophile. And, if we take away the child in a swimsuit, does that cure the pedophile? No.
So, what? We take away all of the pictures of half dressed women and swimsuited children? We cover up all women and children to 'protect' them?
Isn't that what they do in Iran? And how many people here have a problem with the way they treat women in Iran?

So.
What is it exactly you are saying?
I am not really sure how this reads.
From my *Me* place here is my summation (of the topic):
Pedophiles will be Pedophile, regardless of the state of dress of the victims.
Take away the over-sexualized children and you've still got pedophiles.
Remove Pedophiles from the equation.
Practice good parenting. Let your children be children. Whether or not a six year old in a thong & padded bra attracts abuse, a six year old and a thong/padded bra don't go together.
Work on making your children comfortable with their bodies, with who they are and let them be kids.
sex and children do not go together, whatever the reason.
that is all.
