I also appreciate bacasper's willingness to take an unpopular opinion. It reminds me of the unconvential spirit of a lot of young people in the 60s and 70s before America's youth became materialistic and conformist again.

I do wonder exactly where he draws the line on sex crimes just out of curiosity.

I dunno. It would be one thing if it were a discussion about the collateral damage to the livelihood of common people in Afghanistan or Iraq and how that foments consistent ditrust and hostility against western interests, but this is a question of whether a middle aged man should be held culpable for attempting to do anything with an 11 year old stranger. I would say that the spirit of the 60s lives on when people look at how media such as the internet causes people to be conformist or is used as a tool to satiate depraved sexual interests for children. Mightn't you agree?

It wasn't freudian. They said that you unsettle other posters and lead them to think that you may have sexual issues, which it seems you do.

How do we know? So you've never done it in anything other than the missionary position? Or maybe you've never done it at all?


Missionary denotes religion, which is an anachronism, and a bane on society. As for sexual preference, position, if in a bedroom, matters not, as long as it's with a consenting ADULT.

No. Because you have the gall to defend a pedo, you're a slimeball. Because I have an uncle, I'd have SOUND legal advice if needed, and not the ranting of some pedo supporter.

Are you really that ignorant, or are you just being willfully obtuse?

Unless you are doing it in the missionary position with an adult male to whom you are legally married and only for the purposes of procreation, there are people somewhere who consider you a deviant and a pervert. Or is the whole world supposed to use NYC_Gal's definitions?

I will not allow myself to descend to your level of childish name-calling. Your resort to it only demonstrates your inability to refute my points and the vapidity of your position.

You don't think 60% of men would like to boink Miley Cyrus? Or would have liked to have had a threesome with the teenaged Olson twins? 60% sounds low, to me.

Heck, even George Bush 1 fantasized about Britney Spears, right? While the figure may well be higher, what I think is less important than what has been documented in the literature. If that study is out there somewhere, I missed it.

Maybe you should do a poll Exclamation

It's easy to stand up for fashionable causes. What Bacaspar does takes guts. The slimy jibes directed at him prove over and over and over what a necessary thing he's doing. I thought he was wrong about Polanski and I'm sure he's been in the wrong plenty of other times too. It really doesn't matter how many times he's wrong in fact, because in spirit he's absolutely right. Bacaspar is the conscience of the current events forum.


Actually, his posting habits generally disgust me.

What a coincidence! Your responses generally disgust me!

Wow, that was impressive. What exactly disgusts you? The fact that I call you on your imaginary statistics? The fact that I don't like pedophiles? Be specific please - because I have been.

Sorry you don't agree with my use of the term to signify enticing someone to commit a crime they otherwise would not have.


You've yet to offer one shred of proof that it was entrapment. You've since changed it to some other lame phrase in the hopes that I would leave you alone about your dishonesty.

I've given numerous examples of situations where someone can be charged and convicted for just planing a crime. You've chosen to ignore them.

He is FAR from the moral conscious of this forum. In fact, I view his posting habits as immoral and dishonest.

But hurling cheap shots at someone who can't defend himself - now that's righteous. Rolling Eyes

You've suddenly developed an inability to defend yourself? How so? Can't type? Can't think? How is is that you cannot defend yourself?

That stat is questionable, it's probably the number for under 18. The lower the age goes the less people you'll have entertaining such thoughts. Big differences in an 11, 15, 17 and a 21 year old.

"Minor" pretty consistently means under 18 which most likely explains the discrepancy with the study I cited which observed arousal to pre-pubertal individuals at 26% of normal (i.e. non-pedophilic) men.

The youth are hipsters. Ironically conformist and vapid.

Well, if you've been listening to bacasper, then you still don't.

As my law professor once said, the most dangerous people are not those that don't know anything about the law, it's those that know only a little.

let's just use your numbers then and add some 2009 demographics.

Quote:
US Population
307,212,123 (July 2009 est.)

Age structure
0-14 years: 20.2% (male 31,639,127/female 30,305,704)
15-64 years: 67% (male 102,665,043/female 103,129,321)
65 years and over: 12.8% (male 16,901,232/female 22,571,696) (2009 est.)

http://www.indexmundi.com/united_states/demographics_profile.html



so 26% of 119.56 million males (above 15) is still ~31million pedophiles

So we just put 1 pedo in jail. There are still ~31 million American males to potential pedophiles. Even if you don't account for age groups of 15~18 you probably would still have something like 25million people that are aroused by pedophilic stimuli.

Concerning Question

I read it. I'm paraphrasing. The "which it seems you do" was MY opinion. It DOES seem that others are creeped out by you.

Missionaries pushed their religion, telling natives that they should only mate in the one position. I belong to no religion, as I'm a good person because I want to be. I don't cop out and blame some boogeyman in the sky for life's doings.

Actually, I haven't seen my fiance in a few months, so there's been no sex. Those who find any other position deviant are sad religious fanatics. As for premarital sex, these same people belong to religions where it was okay at the beginning.
