    Wow. What a self-absorbed society we live in.

    I actually used to laugh when I read American Psycho because of the biting satire.

    Now it's not so funny.

    It's bible belt territory so I'm not surprised. Most southern states in America seem to be stuck in the stone age.

    The closet homosexual homophobic pastor is as common in that part of America as the pedophile priest over here.

    Bit of a biased generalization there .

    How common, exactly do you think paedophile priests are here?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 174 ✭✭Sergei Malatov


    Not very common at all.

    But a very damning minority in those subsets all the same.

    I've honestly no idea what your post means.

    What's a "damning minority"?

    Ted Haggard instantly springs to mind.

    That is one of the most retarded applications of law I have ever seen.

    Considering Sergei's last thread was about admiring underage girls arses (that was rightly closed) I wouldn't expect much of a reply tbh.

    A minority in terms of country population. Less of a minority in terms of the priesthood.

    You don't think pedophilia is damning?

    STOCKTON, Calif. (KCRA) —Earlier this year, a Stockton student was handcuffed with zip ties on his hands and feet, forced to go to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and was charged with battery on a police officer. That student was 5 years old.
    http://www.kcra.com/5-Year-Old-Handcuffed-Charged-With-Battery-On-Officer/12648852
    In it, the officer, Lt. Frank Gordo, says he placed his hand on Michael's and, "the boy pushed my hand away in a batting motion, pushed papers off the table, and kicked me in the right knee."
    If I had a kid that's what i'd want him to do, in fairness

    He also had a picture of his 16 year old girlfriend which he was charged with.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 935 ✭✭✭Whitewinged


    Thats mad. What kind of message is this sending to the boy involved? And also what effect is this going to have on him. He's a victim of the system.

    That thread was a bit disgusting, don't you agree Sergei???

    Please don't say that in front of Sergei......

    He's not a victim.

    Distribution of pictures of underage girls is a serious problem with serious repercussions.

    Someone needs to be made an example of.

    Like the individual in the story.

    You don't think it's a problem when boys resend pictures of naked underage girls to their friends?

    Ever hear of Steubenville?

    Did you read the article?

    This is a perfect example of being strict on the letter of the law, while not giving a crap about the spirit of the law.

    Absolutely farcical


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,174 ✭✭✭✭jimgoose


    Could be worse. If the youngfella was having an oul' pedal he'd be a rapist, Ted. :D

    While US bashing is of course splendid fun it would be interesting to compare the situation to here in Ireland. It's my understanding (I'm open to correction of course) that at least on paper the law here with regard to pictures of minors would be fairly similar. Whether in practice this would actually lead to prosecutions of juveniles is another matter.

    Only if people are silly enough to ignore the spirit of the law, due to slavish devotion to the letter of the law

    Ah.

    Perfect example of someone that didn't read the article.

    Great.

    That is completely bonkers. I don't know if there's even a reasonable discussion to be had about it through the spluttering. I have a feeling it's not the first time it has happened either.

    If the letter of the law says that taking naked pictures of yourself is illegal as a sex crime then...they really, really need to rewrite that law.

    Splutter.
