There is this massive fear (or at least their will be), that anyone who shows an interest in anything vaguely communist, IS a communist and should be reported. So, anyone who shows an interest in children, IS a pedophile and should be reported. Most child molestation happens within families. There aren't strangers lurking around corners waiting to grab up your children and rape them. Sure, it's happened, but should we derive our children of connection with adults, and people, because of the ever so slight chance they could be assaulted? We might as well sit at home wearing body armor all day. BUT THEN WE CANT RUN WHEN WE... PEDO MAGICALLY TRANSFIGURES RIGHT IN FRONT OF US AND RAPES US!!!! The answer is to nuke everyone! that way u get rid of all the pedos, obviously. seriously though, just being a little cautious doesn't mean you are some prosaic tightwad | ||

I just can't stop laughing... But please give an example of the trivial deviousness which devours most of us disgusting mortals. | ||

Is this how life is supposed to be? no, because people are supposedly born inherently good, but as we often see it is easy for people who have an evil streak to take advantage of others because it is so easy; "power corrupts". | ||

people who are untrustful will have hard time living in the social so there's a trade-off for them too just respect people's choice and apply "ignorance is bliss" | ||

The girl couldn't get up, so I helped her. I help her up, and the mom tells me "Don't touch my daughter!" You don't want strangers appoaching your young child when you're a parent. I don't think the mother's comment had anything to do with fear of pedophilia, just general parental paranoia of anything that could harm the child. Although your motives were noble, sometimes it's best to not try to help in situations like this. Child stuck in the sand is not exactly a critical situation needing instant aid. | ||

(not the parents, not some old conservative farts, nobody - talk, yes, lots of it) i just wanted to make clear what sexual freedom you have here in germany in contrast to north america. if the singing teacher in fact is pedo or if it was real love towards a person who does look more like 16-17 (mind you are of age at 18 here in germany) than 14 is not the question. Well, what he does think is important because I don't think he'd want to live in a place where that's allowed, and I'm sure many people here agree. Pedophilia is not just about how the person looks, it's about taking advantage of a young person who makes stupid fucking decisions, as ALL young people do. The 14 year old would be an example of that. She's still going through puberty and her hormones are probably going crazy. I'd guess that she's not an adult mentally, and it is kinda fucked up that he's with her. | ||

Really I think the laws are unfair ageist restrictions on freedom. A person isn't allowed to do things because society knows better than they do. There is a certain point where a child is indeed too young to know any better, but it sure as hell isn't 18 (16 I think makes the most sense as an age of consent). There are reasons given about the power imbalance in certain relationships, that the girls are being exploited by men who have power and money. That is quite simply the sexual landscape of the country, and age is fairly irrelevant. Then there are cases taht are clearly wrong. 40 and 14 strikes me that way, and prepubescence of course being a total cutoff. | ||

In all honesty, is it only natural for a male to be attracted to a pubescent female. Regardless of the age? As long as she is sexually matured. I remember getting into a debate with a guy about this, we only find the 40 and 14 year old example disgusting because it is what society has taught us. If the world lacked society that would be perfectly normal would it not? Look at animals in the animal kingdom. Once a female reaches sexual maturity she is fair game. I'm pretty sure humans would also fall into this category. | ||

If you want to have feelings for someone, then you need to take both into account. | ||
