Richard Dawkins defends mild pedophilia, says it does not cause lasting harm

Is a 19 year old dating and having relations with a 17 year old or a 16 year old pedophilia? Depending on the state and other activities (taking pictures, sending texts, etc.) it most certainly can be. It doesn't matter if they are in love and getting married with both families' blessings. Should such an individual be prosecuted, deemed an offender and placed on the pedo list for the rest of their lives?

And a few generations ago this was how everyone got married - young to very young girls/women with older men. This practice still occurs in many areas of the planet; it is accepted. We may not like it and wish that they could 'evolve' as we have, but many practices that we condemn and place pejorative adjectives on are still considered normal and acceptable in many areas. That, IMHO, is what Dawkins is referring to. Having these types of discussions can be valuable, but not if those like Chrisuk and VG are hysterical reactionaries painting with broad brushes and making very awful accusations.

And Chrisuk, please don't call me an idiot like VG does. I am 100% spot on and accurate. I hate pedophiles, probably more than you, but I love justice and fair-mindedness more.

DOC,

Excellent summary, and that is exactly how I read his responses. I think we can accurately say that most/all on this board abhor child abuse of any type, especially sexual abuse. Having said that, I've seen too many rushing to judgment on this topic whenever it comes up. I understand this topic elicits strong emotions; I'm a father and from the time both my children were born I built a force shield around them, protecting them from the Borg, elders and anyone else who tried to harm them. My leaving the Borg was due in very large part to my desire to allow my children to live their lives unfettered from such control. Anyone who would have harmed them would have met with the full intensity of my anger. I would die for my children; I would kill for them.

Having said that, it should not be so very difficult to bring rational, balanced and fair-minded thought to this topic. I do not see that from a lot of posters. Rushing to judment accomplishes nothing. Mis-quoting or mis-stating someone's comments accomplishes nothing. Convicting others in kangaroo courts accomplishes nothing. It does not make those doing such more just, more fair, more concerned or more protective of children. It simply makes those responding in such a knee jerk, over-reactionary and broad brushed manner appear a bit un-hinged and a lot irrational. I've seen the exact same responses from some on this topic in general and on the "Pedo elder" and Woody Allen OPs.

And those of us who would prefer to bring fair mindedness to this topic (as I try to do with every topic) should not have to be accused by the reactionaries of being pro-abuse or closet pedophiles. That is disgusting. VG, you are capable of excellent posts - rational, well thought and balanced. But your emotional over-reaction and broad brushed approach to so many posts causes you to lose your credibility, as I've pointed out before. It is likely this tendency has impacted your professional career and personal lilfe as well.

That's why, other than this comment, I typically avoid these OPs. Good luck to you all arguing these points. And VG, please don't respond by calling me an idiot. Again. I am 100% spot on accurate. Not everyone chastising you is your enemy and not everyone agreeing with you or telling you sweet things with sweet words is your friend.

A supremely confident and sure woman is so sexy...

i have always been attracted to very confident and self-assured women.

so sexy.

example - a girl who may not look like a skinny stick model at the beach in a bikini and rocking it.

DJS

FHN,

Ouch! You win!!!! Not my cup of tea either but some probably like that look. For women, body building and boobs don't mix. In order to show striation, fat has to go. Boobs (and butts) are largely fat. A lot of female body builders buy boobs (don't ask me how I know, Oh, ok, ask).

second malaysian plane down

by prologos in

not that this is directly wt related.. images from the crash area indivate that the plane was burning as it crashed.

light debris was falling out of the smoke trail before the impact and other images show two distinct smoke plumes, one on approach the other after the impact.

this was not a vertical dive.. one of the theories about the first malaysian plane dissappearance is an incident with dangerous cargo catching fire.. 2 planes of the same airlime?

DJS

Based on the evening news reports, there is a phone conversation from a Russian Ukranian separatist who is heard stating they shot a plane down. The missile battery is supposedly from Russia, but all of this isn't definite. It is unclear why the Malyasian pilots fly this route. According to evening news, the US has issued directives to the commercial flights under its jurisdiction to avoid this sector, for obvious reasons. The Malaysians continue to perplex. Flying through this area, given the war zone and that other planes have already been brought down, is beyond clueless.

Anyway, too early to make judgments. 33,000 feet is called normal.

DD is spot on. Muscle is hot for both genders. And FHN, most women simply don't have enough testosterone to bulk. They can work out all they wish but won't bulk up like male - or female - body builders. A lot of men can' bulk up either, based on body type, regardless of T levels. Most women will simply look sculpted and toned. That is almost never a worry for women who want to lift weights.

And I had a major crush on Belinda Carlisle. Curvy, innocent, confident (at least on videos), beautiful, adorable. Yum.

Very confident and self-assured women? I've heard a rumor that such existed, along with unicorns and fairies. Just kidding.

I am doing Fab!!!!!!!!

by KateWild in

hey everyone,.

well me, fraz and laika had a little meetup before we went on holiday.....it was great to meet fraz for the first time.

our hols were teriffic and i have enjoyed dating too.

DJS

Fraz,

Ditto. Ditto. Ditto. Kate, good luck to you. I hope you find what you are seeking, but the Borg is evil. They will likely have henchmen who watch this site and your comings and goings - including your dating experiences. Unless you desire to become a nun, go to all of the meetings dressed in sackcloth and ashes sitting in the back gettting there right before the song and leaving right after the prayer and jump through all of the other hoops they will be holding up for you, and do all of these things for as long as the evil little men desire, you are wasting your time.

But good luck. Keep us posted (or maybe that isn't a good idea).

All morals are dead. Pedophilia soon to follow.

13 jul 2014. trottigy, on 12 jul 2014 - 9:25 pm, said:.

"yes, sadly it is only a matter of time before pedophilia and incest becomes an "alternative lifestyle".

it was true in parts of canaan and rome.

DJS

This is the same arugment used by religionists against atheists (god is dead, morals will go in the tank) in the past and the present. And yet, as has been pointed out and supported by excellent data several times on this site, the more secular/atheistic a state, region, nation is, the more functional, educated and intelligent it is likely to be. A better title of the OP:

"All Moralists (those concerned with regulating the morals of other) are Dead." and its sister topic: "All Religions are dead." Now that would be a great OP!!!

How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?

by Julia Orwell in

jw
friends

i'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.

as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?

surely education should come first.

DJS

Julia,

Ditto to DisArmed. You've heard (read) my story before. I left college - and a full scholarship - because of the Borg's influence. Upon exiting the Borg I returned to college, completed by undergraduate degree, then completed an MBA and am now pursuing a PhD. It has opened many, many doors and has enriched my life - and my bank account - immeasureably.
