"kiddy porn" isn't necessarily used to reference porn per se. It was more of a put down of the whole genre. The argument made was that as teenagers we should have been reading more about history (and yes, the French Revolution was one of the examples given during the discussion) or some of the more important pieces of literature, instead of the teenage angst books. My argument was that I have no interest in history (it took four times before I finally passed history in college) and even if they did teach me about the French Revolution, or any other revolution/war/uprising/activism/etc. I never would have paid attention period. So why must I get ridiculed because I don't about things. I've met some airheads who know only a fraction of what I do.
