And perfectly reasonable Greeks used to pot their children ... particularly the unwanted females.

These are some pre-Christian and non-Christian realties that are about to be taken to a whole new level in what folks like to call the Post-Christian World.

It's worse than you think ... and it's true that the fish is rotting from the head.

Some Post-Christian Realities

[Lorianne]

Yeah but all this stuff (and worse) was going on to women and children (of both sexes) and some men BEFORE the advent of contraception and widespread access to pornography. Also, the debauchery and abuse continued apace in Christian as well as non-Christian countries and cultures.

Sorry, I don't agree with the rose colored glasses view of history that many Conservatives like to engage in. Although I agree that pornography probably contributes to the cultural acceptance and continuance of girls/women/children as ojects of sexual gratification, I don't agree that it started it or is the primary cause.

The primary cause is the superiority complex of elite groups of people with virtually unlimited social/economic/political power over others .... who feel ENTITLED to do as they wish. Just look at the recent sex slavery scandals with both UN and USA contractor employees in Bosnia. As long as these people have any kind of power over others ... in this case enslaved young girls and women bought and sold like cattle, these people will abuse that power to the detriment of the weaker members ... the weaker the better for these "priveledged" degenerates ... which is why they frequently target children.
