freedom of thought/speech boundries...

[dannyday5821]

If a man walked into a police station (UK only) and said...

"i am a peadophile...."

would he be arrested? i mean i know it seems like a stupid question...but surley, if we have freedom of speech, then the police can only say "fair enough mate, er, see ya later"

I mean, say they arrested him, they find NO evidence of illegal activity - i.e. porn from the net etc. (whatever etc might be!) not ONE single thing to actually show he is a peadophile, but he claims with 100% certainty that he is...would he go free of charge? what, IF any action could the police take?

surley he should be free to think whatever he wants. even if 99% of the population disagrees (and in my eyes, in relation to peadophilia - rightly so!) yet they section people for thinking they want to kill people. does the same happen for peodophiles?

the same again...what would happen if he goes to his Dr and says the same thing again, but claims he's never done anything that would actually get him in jail. what could/can the dr do for him?

what can i say...im curious. mainly because peadophillia is such a taboo subject. no one wants to think about it or talk about it. dont get me wrong i understand that...but didnt we have the same problem with homosexuality in the days Dr's thought it was a mental illness? Now its widley accepted...although living in a world where peodophiles are widley accepted...is to be honest, very scary!

By the by there are a few countries where Polyandry (multiple husbands) is practiced.

I wonder how many parents of teenagers off on School trips to Spain know what the age of consent is there.

I'd also love to see the faces at the CPS if the police arrested a 14 year old and 18 year old spanish "couple" over here

(I can imagine a very quick "not in the public interest" reply!)

Can you explain why if 1 husband with 2 wives is a better system...

..why 1 wife with 2 husbands is not also widely practiced in the countries you allude to?

Logically, that should also work well?

[keyplus90]

I said 1 husband with 2 wives out of those 3 scenarios. Otherwise I did say that only one is enough.

1 wife with two husbands is a problem because if they would like to know whose children are these then sometimes it may not be possible even for the women to determine that. Then even in the animal kingdom you would never see two males sharing a female apart from pigs. Whereas one male with more than one females is very common and they would not even fight.

[Gromit]

A female with more than one male breeding partner is very common in the animal kingdom.

If the problem is determining parenthood, would it be acceptable for an infirtile woman to have several husbands?

But do they mate at the same time or once the female animal has delivered the baby?

About parenting. Then infertility Is not the question, parenting is main but one one of few problems. Then it comes to desire of possession. Apart from odd examples, males are naturally more possessive and do not share their partner. Have you ever seen two lions sharing one lioness?

[WaldoMcFroog]

Since you (wrongly) believe that humans did not evolve from other animals, how is it relevant what lions do?

[keyplus90]

To Evolution, I do not (rightly) believe that Human evolved from monkeys or any other animals. But I do believe that once God created the creatures then they did change their size, shape and other characteristics as their surrounding atmosphere changed. In simple words they adapted. I do believe that Allah changed ignorant and sinful people into apes and other animals because Quran talks about that. And I am sure you must have read that as I know you have knowledge of Quran.

Lions are used as example. At least human can learn few things from other animals. After all humans are social animals.

Seen it, read it, snorted with laughter at the fact anyone takes it seriously and dismissed it for what it is, Keyplus.

U can get away with your 'thoughts' on here but dont voice them.....you could be hung, drawn & slaughtered by the public......!

[WaldoMcFroog]

Pardon..?

And it's 'hung, drawn and quartered' - you're already dead after being hung and drawn.
