As I pointed out earlier, I don't have the stats. But in my own experience, at the ripe age of 70 (almost), I've met a lot of people with a lot of different stories. I can't even remember the number of women I've known who said they were raped as children, by older men. The men weren't jailed in most cases and the girls grew up to be fairly normal women.

Yet nowadays, if a girl is raped, she is required to identify her attacker and maybe even testify against him. After that, she gets years of 'treatments' to help her live a normal life. Those treatments usually require her to tell and re-tell the story as many times as some social worker thinks is neccesary to effect some sort of healing. When was the last time you stuck your hand in a fire to heal a burn?

I'll try to find that article and make some sort of link to it. I'm not going to do it right now though.

Child molestors and gun owners have more in common than most people think. ...

And the recidivism rate for child molestors is actually quite low...

he had molested a child once ...he was discriminated against and treated like an old-fashioned leper...

we westerners once condemned the caste system in India. Starting our own seems somewhat barbaric to me....

I could do a quick reply to each of the above-pasted clips from your posts on this thread, but I think just putting them up there, next to eachother, is enough.
