Where is your commentary KFS? I want the old KFS back damnit.

An Anti-paedophilia expert turning out to be paedophile himself happened in the UK a couple of years ago, he was a consultant to London police and social services who advised on paedophile behaviour, who turned out to have a long record of convictions for child abuse, but had changed his name.

There was also a case of a government-run child-protection authority in Wales being infilitrated and taken over by a paedophile ring (which IIRC correctly included police officers and members of the judiciary). There were horrific accounts of children trying to report abuse only to have the person who they reported the abuse to abusing them. The poor kids apparently ended up too scared to tell anybody until adulthood, by which time many of them had serious psychiatric disorders and/or substance abuse problems.

They make a big thing out of it because he molested ONE girl?

I thought in the world of MA everyone was allowed at least one.

What has this world come to- now its “wrong” to have sex with 14 year old girls.

Yes.
A child is a child.

But what if she’s really hot?

PL

No exceptions.

What if she’s almost legal?

Hope it was not making any sense for him whether she is or not!!!

Now I see why my brother’s paper on comparative ages of consent caused so much trouble:

People are fucking idiots.

Wish that remained as dream

I have learnt some initial moves of karate-do, when I was 12 years old I used to practise my karate lesson, then slowly I grew older and time wasn’t permitting for all those stuff. Then I had a deep inclination towards movies related to martial arts. Now it has turned in such a way that I am even unable to see the movies. This a art that should be preached, but not harming any one.

Silverstar, I just hid your post because it had nothing to do with this topic. The next time you post on this thread I’m hitting you with a ban.

The discussion about the combact sport forum is very interesting. I gained more knowledge from that topic.
