IT'S A SAD SAD DAY

Pedophiles to launch political party in Amsterdam pushing for the legal age for sexual relations be dropped to 12 from 16 and the legalization of child pornography and bestiality.

full article c/o Rueters

i don't think i've ever read anything so depraved! by definition pedophilia involves an adult engaging in a sexual activity with a child - does it not? when the heck should that ever be OK? that comment about bans only making children curious is a huge load of shit! kids are going to be curious and no ban nor law is ever really going to stop them from having sex. who are they kidding? the drop in the legal age is only to serve adults who wish to take advantage of it.

it's outrageous! so much so that i can't even stop to consider the implications beyond sick adults taking advantage of children. the idea of allowing someone to appear in pornography or prostitute themselves is a debatable topic in mind but somehow not when the discussion involves children. but what is a child? if we allow prostitiution what should the legal age be? whatever constitutes an adult, i suppose but there's something hideous about thinking of a 16 year old prostitute.

excuse me while i go curl up in the corner and quiver.

Did you think modern society would at a certain point stop sinking into depravity and find some type of moral center? Today, "we" find this disgusting. Tomorrow it will be terribly distasteful. Eventually, I'd be surprised if we didn't regard it similarly to the marijuana laws in Amsterdam. Although not legalized per say, child prostitution is rampant in certain arts of Asia, but we don't hear about that so often.

A hundred years ago, the world was a FAR different place. Since the early part of the 20th century, it has progressively slid to where it is now - morally bankrupt - and it will not stop. It can't or it would have already.

The only thing that can be done about it is try not to be swept up in the tide, find your own morality. Then try to continue exercising that morality as society degrades. It's not as easy as it sounds; the time will come when come when you will be regarded as closed-minded or even prejudiced because of the morals you hold yourself to. For many, this has already happened.

Some sobering thoughts for a Thursday morning…
