If you're stupid enough to try theft 3 times and get caught, then you deserve to be sent to jail for 15 years.
Saying that the system is too harsh for the crime is like saying that for fooling around with a gun around your friends, and one of your friends getting killed is too harsh. Having fun with weapons isn't anything unheard of here in america, though most of the times it's illegal, and your friend died. You shouldn't have done it, but you did, and now you have to pay.
You shouldn't have been fooling around with something so simple yet so
dangerous, yet you did. Just don't do it and you won't get in trouble. Simple. -

read the posts. It is legal. After having talked to police officers and FBI agents, I can assure you that it is legal. Remember that nudity does not equal pornography. I own a copy, and reccomend it to family and friends becuase, for one the scenery is breath taking, and two it is a great exploration into the mind of a preteen or a teenager. Being a sociologist, this movie sparks my interest in (1) trying to understand my own painful experiences of when i was that age, and, (2) explaining why children and young adults act the way they do

America does not have a 3 strikes law. Only a handful of states (the only one I know of off the top of my head is California) has a 3 strikes law. The vast majority of states do not have any such laws, because they are in fact silly.
And the reason laws like that exist is not because citizens of those states have a "warped sense of right and wrong." It's because those states have privitized their prisons. In other words, the owners of those prisons get paid for housing prisoners. Therefore, the longer someone's in prison, the more money a businessman makes.
Most laws and attitudes are not the reflection of the everyday American, but the small group of millionaires and billionaires who run this country. -

Unfortunately, religion still has far too much influence on our legal system. Things that shouldn't by any stretch of the imagination be considered crimes are illegal because Bible-thumping assholes in positions of authority find them offensive.
There are 8.2 billion people in the world. 8.19 billion of them have never heard of and don't give a fuck about Charlie Kirk. Get over it. -

Why in the world is it so hard to get a no or yes answer on this movie? You can research any data you want and still come up short if you are "not" a lawyer" and then be wrong.
Why is it anymore difficult than a traffic violation to state "This movie is NOT legal to own in the USA" or a "Stop sign" demands you to stop or you break the law? "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" if one goes before any judge on a matter of where you did not know.
Can there not be a data base for illegal movies by name aka's etc? I am only concerned for the simple reason that too many good people go to jail over stupidity of not being aware and that is a shame, what would be so difficult for our law makers to put important jail time giving laws into plain English so you do not have to graduate law school to understand those laws? Of course it is too difficult, take you tax forms you fill out or should fill out, are they EZ, no! One poster stated "Kids" is worse than Maladolescenza and I am sure he is correct but not one post have I read about Kids is if it is legal or not but could be, hey I simply do not know.
I have seen parts of the movie and agree with Marcus 100% on "kids". Why is there not a plain and simple solution to this movie problem? There are so many crimes in this area it appears the law makers would want every single American to be aware of any movie that had anything to do with underage actors that would be illegal to view/own or sale this would help stop the spread of any such movie I would think.
Yes I buy many movies as a very serious collector of many foreign films and but if I have to sit and worry every time I buy one that I could do 5 to 40 then it is time someone makes it damn clear which movie/s are not to be owned in the USA. Not one of you do not know if you rob a bank your butt is mud and you could tell me by what agency, or maybe go on a hot check cashing spree across 3 State lines, you know what you have to deal with and most likely from all 3 States, also you would know when you started the spree what to expect if caught.
It simply is not right to be so damn shady about an issue as important as this. I would not buy "Kids" in hopes of it becoming priceless someday just because there is no true answer or real data from our Government who gives you 5 to 40 if that movie is not legal to own/view, sure many sell the movie but remember ignorance of any law is none excusable, another way of saying sorry but you are screwed unless you have big bucks.
90% of the USA citizens cannot tell you the meaning of any given law to any extent that they would bet their home and job on it, you must be a lawyer/attorney with the tools of research at your disposal to understand many laws, butttttt,,,not laws our Government wants you to understand clearly like paying your Federal Income taxes, we understand very clearly sex with a underage person is 100% against the law no matter the reason or excuse, run a stop sign, it is against the law and that is EZ to understand!
But hells bells owning a movie if you are NOT a underage convicted sex offender that is this controversial over the content is simply super screaming ridiculous, if there were sexual intercourse simulated or real intercourse then it is suppose to be illegal you and I understand that or maybe understand that,, but hey I eat at Mcdonalds every once in a while and kids make out in the parking lots, inside at times some what, sell drugs and simulate every Friday and Saturday nights and you as a person would have to be blind not to see it, what do I do? Stay home, never stop at Mcdonalds or Jack in the Box because of a few wild running harmonizes? Am I going to get jail time over this live simulated sex? Where does it end? I am sorry but I get so upset at our laws sometime and I love the good old USA, but folks is it not time to become real and demand of our law makers to supply a statement of a law we as the people can understand clearly on many legal issues, one other being my frigging income tax forms?
Clearly we must have good laws and we do, many very good but some simply suck. "I never had sex with that woman" and got clean away with it, see that is what I am trying to say, sex is what or not (clear huh?, if a underage person grabs you and does a Monica on your person and you did not want to hit that underage person so not to break yet another law "DID you have sex or NOT? Clearly they (our high court) for Mr. beep did not think it was sex, so is this mixed signals or can we all have oral stimulation without calling it sex? My wife can clarify it for me if you need to ask!
Viewing a movie commercially made either by another Country or not if it is illegal we the people should know without paying $2000 to a lawyer before we purchase such a movie so we would not spend 5 to 40 years, is this reasonable?, but again "ignorance" is no excuse and "I did smoke but I did not inhale" nor "I did not have sex with that woman" will not wash "IF" you are not "R -

So, you're basically saying that you viewed a film with children having sex. Saying it is repulsive is a given, but you watch movies with children having sex? Sounds inherently repulsive in itself.
Do The Mussolini! Headkick! -

[lolz]You obviously don't work with the law or are part of any of those group of people because you're writing about "borderline slander" over a medium exclusively done in writing. True learned people don't mismatch "slander" and "libel".[/lolz] lol at you again for having watched a movie showing children having sex and admitting it. Of course, this being the intarweb, you can admit to it and nobody has to know. I mean, in real life this is just as repulsive as the ones you accuse of producing it.

"The movie "Kids" does not contain under age sex scene's(I know, I have seen it) and can be purchased full uncut at K-Mart for pete's sake" (quote)
BS!!! The first scene in Kids shows a 12 year old having intercourse in her bedroomit shocked the hell out of me, much more than Maladolecenza because it seemed REAL, not like a student art film.
As far as Maladolecenza goesporn or not..it is available for free download on many torrent sitesuncut with subs in DVD quality.
So go see it for your self. IMO once is enough!
