We are not talking about marriage here. We’re talking about illicit sex between a child and an alleged adult.
This is wrong and the fact that there are people on this thread defending, excusing, justifying or in any other way downplaying the seriousness of it is a tremendous indicator of what is wrong with this country.
Attitudes like yours and others on this thread are why stuff like this happens in the first place. It contributes to the degradation and deterioration of society in a way that is going to destroy it faster than any liberal politics we see being put in place.
Destroying the moral fabric of society is a recipe for disaster. The fact that there are those mocking this, making jokes about it, and treating it lightly is an abomination and a total embarrassment to FR. Those kinds of attitudes and comments are more fitting for DU or KOS than FR.
I expected to find the pedophile defenders show up on this thread and they did.
There's one missing.
Oh my!! That is disturbing.
I would very much appreciate your showing me where someone defended pedophilia. Thanks.
Well said, metmom.
“We’re talking about illicit sex between a child and an alleged adult.”
I like your use of “alleged” adult. It is, IMHO, the most succinct and accurate summation of the teacher’s behavior possible.
Please don’t attack the bearer of bad news. I agree with durus’s posting of Edmund Burke’s famous line about responsibility for one’s behavior. In a republic, there can be no substitute for a self regulating citizenry.
Back to the thread. I have made clear my agreement with the Judeo-Christian concept of marriage. That we live in a cluture of sluts, ho’s and long legged mack daddies is no reason not to question our present situation.
The deliberate trashing of religion and the family has been the consuming effort of commies since Stalin’s day. As Antonio Gramsci said, take a generation or two and take over teh educational system. They did.
Cucumber and condom purchases by elementary schools is proof of Gramsci’s crowd’s domination of state schools. Contrary to what one of the angry poster who attacked me, the state does assume the child is rightfully theirs to shape as they want, not as the parents wish.
To assume that any state program, or set of state laws, can keep children from acting out the Sluts-R-Us is delusional. Only concerned and involved parents can raise children able to reject the cultural “norm” and recognize it as abnormal, antisocial, and unsustainable.
Funding a huge swarm of government intervenors does no demonstrable good to offset the cost, both financially culturally, let alone Constitutionally, which such programs inflict.
Parents, and society, does not need government to tell us what is right. That was done some thousands of years ago, on a mountain top. Said message was repeated about 2,000 years ago.
Government isn’t needed in this area, and I am of the opinion that the sooner we get government out of family issues and decisions the better.
Government activity in family is a form of charity, at best.
As madison said, there is NO Constitutional authority for government to do charity. That means, government should keep its hands off the family.
Yes, some children will be beaten, seduced, raped, even killed. But, given that government intervention is worse - perhaps we must rely on family and neighbors, and church members.
Those used to work.
Evil acts were not prevented back then, but they were fewer in number.
Lastly, allowing easy divorce guaranteed child abuse because non-birth fathers do not care for children as they do for their own children. Such is human nature.
I don’t have answer, but I did hope that raising questions would stimulate thought, not provoke personal attack.
