      Are you saying that it's acceptable to do this to children?

        I hope it's that people won't think it's suitable for the kiddies. Personally I think it should be compulsory viewing.

          Which one ? The one he has been caught with, or one of the others ?

          I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

                    Human trafficking (slavery) is estimated at 1,2 million children of which half are for sexual abuse worldwide (600K). So, how did they get 14 million? By adding up all the marriages in the world of people who are under 18? :confused: In a lot of tribes in the world children are adults when they are 14-16. They do not go to school; they start working when they are 10 years old. That means that they are already working for five years before they get married. This is not a coincidence; there's a clear correlation to the average time a person starts providing for the economy and the average time they get married. This means that you can't just take a arbitrary age and then declare that this is the universal standard for adulthood. It also means that if extreme poverty goes away in those regions, people would stay in school longer and the "problem" will go away automatically. Comparing every culture in the world to western standards is therefor highly misleading; especially when it's presented as the absolute worst case scenario of being sold to a pedophile. Also that hip hop song is out of place and made my ears bleed.

                      Honestly who cares? there would be only 1 cry it would be 1 too much... But in your logic I understand that one person can not cry more than once, right? My question is for pure rhetoric: I just don't care about your answer

                        I agree, so I believe you didn't really understand what I was trying to say. But you don't care about my answer, so I won't bother trying to explain it better since you already judged that you're morally superior to me...
