Women Can't be Pedophiles

[Keith Nichols]

Court has nothing to do with justice. Court is about the law. Justice is just an occasional by-product.

From my studious watchng of American televsion shows (Law & Order etc) and reading various reports in The Economist, the link seems to be very weak over there. I don't know how much better it is in the UK, but any disconect is not so obvious.

In my current locale, Justice & the legal system are so loosely linked that there is little point in contemplating the 2 in the same thought.

The problem with the court system is that ordinary folks like us keep using terms like "fair" and "justice".
Fair and just are subjective terms.
I was only parked there for a moment so it was unfair I got a ticket.
The Officer who gave you the ticket thinks its totally fair he gave it to...otherwise he wouldn't have written it out.

What we are stuck with is the law. There's a law against parking your car there so you got a ticket.

OK, time to clarify something: pedophilia has absolutely nothing to do with this case. Pedophilia is sexual attraction to prepubescent children, not people under the age of consent. At age 14, 97% of boys are well into the final stages of puberty; they have pubic and body hair, they have adult-proportioned genitalia, they can be aroused and father children. They may be young-looking and not fully developed, but they have well-defined masculine qualities. Pedophiles, on the other hand, are attracted to children who have not reached a level of development where they have developed defined masculine or feminine qualities.

Or to put it another way, this woman's problem is not with her sex drive but with her judgement.

....and why is this in the Watercooler? Perhaps Ken will use his illustrious new powers to enforce the differentiation between the 'Cooler and the Politics forums?

I never quite sure why there has to be diffrent forums. I think it was better when there was just one forum for non-technical talk. The tittle of the thread usually gave it away.

 

[ColinEssex]

I agree, plus - people always hijack the non-access threads anyway so why split them up?

I don't really consider this a political discussion either, but I like having split forums.

Me too. Keep the GWB and why America is bad talk over there in the Politics forum. Give us a place over here in the 'cooler to talk about other things.

We need one more for Jsanders and Rich to slag each other off in peace.

You mean talking about American pedophiles here is o.k. though, I thought we were the "evil" ones for daring to discuss anything concerning America

 

[statsman]

How about giving J and Rich their own forum.
We'll have it password protected so that only they can get on it.

Of course, J and Rich aren't going to get much work done.

 

[Rich]

Of course, J and Rich aren't going to get much work done.

J won't get anything done because he's constantly misinformed, Rich on the other hand researches the subject first and frequently posts the results of that research here, even when he's subjected to scorn and derision for doing so

American Forum Member: Your powers are weak, old man.
Rich: You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
