700!!Thats scary stuff isn`t it.

[alijangra]

Yeah and just watch him being let off with a couple of years in jail.

[kwicky]

Do you think that the acceptance of sexual deviants which include homosexuality and lesbianism has created a culture where deviance from the norm is not wrong? Before a reply saying there is no correlation just think of it as a matter of degree.

[sp1814]

kwicky

No...but let's explore that correlation.

What do you think the answer is?

(Can't wait to hear this one!!!)

[Whickerman]

for probably the first time, I'm with sp1814. (Scary for both of us I'm sure).

Let's hear your correlation? I hope you have a good case because if not you'll be ripped to shreds on here. I can't wait... (deviants? you are a ****).

[Whickerman]

sorry - that was for kwicky...the ****

[mycats]

Just watching this on news and there arent any words strong enough are there?

Sick *******, I cant believe they were queing to get these images!!! JESUS- its heartbreaking

alijangra it does say "Cox was given an indeterminate jail sentence Monday at a court in eastern England. That means he will remain in prison until authorities determine he is no longer a threat to children"

[honest_joe]

I think I know what Kwicky was getting at. Until a few years ago homosexuality was illegal and the norm was a married relationship between man and woman. To many this is still the position. During the last few years homosexuality has come to be accepted. What brought about this change is unclear but many believe it is a difference in genetic makeup and cannot be changed. If this rule applies to homosexuals the same could be said for any person with sexual tendencies different from the majority including paedophiles. Do they deserve any understanding? I doubt it! But the same hate and loathing was probably experienced by homosexuals yesteryear.

[mycats]

but saying that

"Forensic teams examining Cox's computer found 75,960 indecent and explicit images in addition to evidence that he had supplied 11,491 images to other site users."

yet the scumbag got away with pleading guilty to nine yes NINE counts of possessing and distributing indecent images, er if they found 75,960 images how can he only be found guilty of 9??

[kwicky]

Its amazing how easy it is to bring their sexuality out of the woodwork!

[Whickerman]

Honest Joe - at first glance I thought that idiot meant that too, until he described paedophilia as just a matter of degrees from homosexuality.

As for comments about people's sexuality on here, personally as a happily married hetero guy I reckon he/she/it hasn't a bloody clue. However, I'm intelligent enough to know not to drag my knuckles when i walk.

[davkel]

i can't quite see where joe is comming from,equating gays and pedophiles there no contest.a pedophile takes pleasure from someone not strong enough to stop them plus hurting them in every depraved way a humane can to another human.and what humans did to gays not that many years ago was wrong too,

[littleoldme]

Do we really, in these supposedly enlightened times, still have people who honestly can't (or won't) differentiate between consensual love/sex between two adults (yeah, that's right, just like a heterosexual relationship) and the forced abuse and rape of scared, uncomprehending little children, with all the physical agony and emotional devastation that goes with it? Do we really? I guess we do.

Anyway, well done to the police on this. Our police force get a lot of criticism (some of it justified, some of it not), but they deserve credit for the success of this operation. Let's hope as many of these perverts as possible are caught and locked up for a very long time. This wasn't just a few softcore pictures of naked children (though that would have been bad enough!), this was systematic abuse carried out on camera for the gratification of a wide network of these despicable creatures.

[ruby27]

Isn't the issue of consent.

There are many sexual behaviours that some people find more or less acceptable or 'normal', but sexual abuse of children never involves informed consent, it is always about the gratification of the perpetrator. Some paedophiles will try and excuse their behaviours claiming that they are only 'awakening the child's natural sexual desires'. Children are dependant beings more as infants and less as older children, but whilst what is acceptable sexual behaviour does change over time and in culture -Nowhere is sexual abuse of children acceptable.

[ruby27]

No you don't know who you are talking to online but surely it is easy to recognise if someone is like minded or not. No one is going to accidentally fall into communication with a paedophile web site.

[sp1814]

kwicky

ruby27, littleoldme and davkel have summed it up perfectly.

There is absolutely no correlation between the acts of paedophiles and gay men and women. The most important factor is consent. Children are not consenting partners in sexual acts with adults.

They never will be and there never ever will be legislation which allows it.

I'm sure we all agree on that.

For you to in any way try to equate gay relationships with paedophiles is really, really, really cheap.

At first when I read your post, I was angry, but I accept there are a lot of people who think like you.

You're point of view is valid...insomuch it's a point of view, but it's wholly wrong.

If you know any gay people, I urge you to speak to them about this. They'll put you straight (so to speak).

[sp1814]

infundibulum

I had to read your post a couple of times before I got what you were saying, and yes - I agree (I think). I cannot understand why the ISPs who host these sites can't be brought to book and fined.

I know the answer proffered before is that a service provider cannot be held accountable for content (in the same way that BT can't be held accountable for malicious harrassment calls), but surely if a provider is earning big bucks from website traffic, then they should be held partly responsible for content (like a wh*rehouse owner who willingly lets rooms to call girls)???

700 paedophiles? Well, 700 suspects; can we wait till the trials before we know for sure? Police have been known to make the occasional mistake, or so I'm told.

And no, you never know who you're talking to online.
