Are you a Pedophile?

Hey DA, it's been a little while. ~:wave:

And I see you haven't changed a bit. Just so you know: this is not frickin' liberalism. If anything, it's simple public hysteria coupled with, ah, the "capitalist" BA "establishing measures against Pedophiles" to profit from that hysteria.

Propaganda and Leftism aren't connotations, you know. :yes:

Oh, why am I bothering...

As the title of the article says, how many paedophiles can there be? And who the hell is going to molest a kid on an airplane in front of all those people? Has there even been any cases of this before? And how do the airlines get away with this blatant sexism? Certainly labeling the entire male sex as potential child rapists or paedophiles would cause much more harm than good?

Notice in the comments section too - some men have been too afraid of receiving an accusation of being a sex offender to help lost children! This law is ridiculous.:thumbsdown:

EDIT: Thanks Del Arroyo.

The flight he was on was to India if I'm not mistaken. My ex never sat near a man on flights to India. She had bad experiences in the past and was determined to avoid them in future. She travelled there 3-4 times a year. She was a bit of nutcase but I did understand her very well. Having said all that she was a 9 on a scale of 10 lookswise (sorry I'm male I quantify/objectify so sue me) and I can understand why people would want to feel her up. But I don't accept people who would do it against her wishes, that's just cruel. If they don't have any shame to molest an adult female, why would'nt they do the same to minor females who are even more vulnerable.

There are a lot of perverts out there, and on one occasion, in Paris airport while I was seeing her off on a flight to Bombay. I saw this Indian man about 45 years old behind us in the que. Just the way he was looking at her was so bad, so lewd, so lacking in any decency whatsoever, I understood why she would'nt sit next to a man on India bound flights. If he had his way he would'nt care whether she wants to be touched or not, he'd just do it.

After she left I went and had a word with that guy, just about manners and general civility towards women. How sad that he did'nt take offence and provoke me because my knuckles were itching to knock his teeth out. Instead he apologised ! Well that's great, yeah ?, but I'd have preferred to kick his ass.

I'm not defending BA, all I'm saying is that child abuse and sexual abuse is a big problem for females in India. Just caught my mind when reading that article.

Secular utilitarian ethics is as horrific as it gets.

You see I think it is the response of the weak minded to the moral outrage and frantic curtain twitching of the petit-bourgeoise right wingers.

So, you find an article easy to dismiss as although it is based on fact, there are some inane examples in it? Cheerfuly throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Moral outrage at what exactly? Men??? I've not seen any rightwingers advocating that men are less trustworthy with children than women. Can you provide anything to prove me wrong?

Becuase a serious point should have a reasonable number of examples to draw on. As soon as someone - and especially the gaffe-prone Johnson - starts shooting from the hip, I rightly switch off.
