im not suggesting anything utopian, only that we currently celebrate molestors and abusers where once they were shamed.
Who is "we", Kemosabe?
I disagree. Strongly.
The mainstream of our society doesn't provide any laudations for the act of child molestation, as you suggest. The one reason the Michael Jackson case is so BIG is because society hates child molesters. If Jackson receives any support at all, its from people that truly believe he didn't do it.
I personally think he's a pedophile, and that he did it. But he, as weird as he is, also is entitled due process. I think his supporters are deluded fans...but he still should have his day in court.
Now, obviously NAMBLA "celebrates" child molestation. There are organizations for heterosexual pedophiles that do the same thing.
Note: They are the fringe. Please don't use "we" in referring to "them".
I think pain and humiliation are 2 of the best ways for anyone to learn a lesson.
Child molesters rarely "learn a lesson". The recividism rate for them is over 70%. Most of them are sociopathic and could give a rats *** for "rules". The only consequence of their actions they ever regret is that of getting caught. If they learn any lessons at all, it is NOT TO GET CAUGHT NEXT TIME.
