And I'll say this... Anyone, any high-up official or legal entitity etc, who would make the move to bring a lawsuit with the aim of shutting the show down, those people leading such a move would aquire the label of supporting the predators.
I woudn't want that label, that stigma.
But it's been explained six ways to next week as to why the show and the process employed to catch the perps is NOT unconstitutional, and is not unlike the methods used to catch johns trolling for hookers etc. In my mind, the show serves to raise awareness out there, in parents, and in kids, which is a good thing.
To argue that the show should be cancelled and shut down, you are always going to have people saying you are supporting the pedos, that's just the way it is. People feel too strongly about this issue and are sick and tired of this shit going on. I'm betting a lot of people that watch the program for the first time are scared to death once they see just how rampant and widespread the problem is.

Now, the issue of being a supporter of pedophilia.
To begin, just because I am supporting the rights of these people does not mean I that I support pedophilia. All it means is that I think this show should be looked at for possible violations of the rights of citizens.
You may think that some people deserve rights, and others don't deserve rights. That is where you and I differ; I believe everyone - a rapist, a murderer, a child molestor, a terrorist - everyone and anyone that is a citizen of the United States, deserves the rights granted to them.
I also believe that these rights should be respected, and attempts to beat them should be looked at closely. I feel that the entire mass media situation with this particular show needs to be looked at, but that does not make me a supporter of pedophilia.
