There are all sorts of predators on the internet, including of course many heterosexual males trolling for females.

1) Unqualified, there is nothing wrong with that (assuming a cynical definition of "predator").

2) 'Trolling' has a special meaning on the internet. "To lure" certainly, but to lure into outrageous discussion - not into bed.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Not sure I completely understood your post, but what I was trying to say is that there are of course plenty of adult males on the internet trying to lure underage girls.

The purpose of my thread is not to single out gays, but to point out the kid glove treatment that MSNBC apparently accorded the issue.

Tell me, how many women are sexual predators on the Internet?

I think it's a pretty safe bet that it is a low percentage.

This subject is close to my heart, because the Liberal party in Canada has refused to increase the age of consent from 14. With such a low age of consent, Canada has become a well-known sex tourist destination.

Who was behind the Liberals' refusal to increase the age? Not a woman's rights group, but the powerful homosexual lobby, NAMBLA among them.

Days after the initial meeting, Justin called, sounding terribly upset. A man was visiting him who, I believed from our interview, had molested Justin in the past and had provided him drugs to keep him compliant. Given the situation, Times editors agreed to fly Justin from Bakersfield, Calif., to Dallas, where I could interview him while he worked through his drug withdrawal.

After arriving, Justin angrily told of molestations at the hands of multiple men since he was a young teenager. He took me inside his online world, showing corners of the Internet where predators spoke among themselves.

I agree with you governs..From what you report they "edited the truth".

You're right the women predators are not on the Internet
They are all teaching Jr High.

Second one from the right can prey on me anyday.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

We'll go out on a limb and assume you're of legal age ;-)

[phoenix0468]

So that doesn't make me prey? Doh!!

If you sprinkled Krispy Kremes and beer on yourself, you would surely get Homer's attention ;-)

Actually I would probably become a narcicist. HEHE.

Ann Coulter (Live And Let Spy) (December 21, 2005):

Monday's Times carried a major expose on child molesters who use the Internet to lure their adolescent prey into performing sex acts for webcams. In the course of investigating the story, reporter Kurt Eichenwald broke open a massive network of pedophiles, rescued a young man who had been abused for years and led the Department of Justice to hundreds of child molesters.

I kept waiting for the catch, but apparently the Times does not yet believe pedophilia is covered by the "privacy right." They should stop covering politics and start covering more stories like this.

In order to report the story, the Times said it obtained:

copies of online conversations and e-mail messages between minors and the creepy adults;

records of payments to the minors;

membership lists for webcam sites;

defunct sites stored in online archives;

files retained on a victim's computer over several years;

financial records, credit card processing data and other information;

The Neverland Ranch's mailing list. (OK, I made that last one up.) Would that the Times allowed the Bush administration similar investigative powers for Islamofacists in America!

Our woman Ann slyly points out that The Old Gay Lady gets their undies in a bunch about Bush "invading the privacy" of terrorists, but has no compunctions about invading the privacy of Americans.

Well, at least the Times kept the gayness of the Americans whose privacy they violated "private". ;-)
