Manual Topics > Kuge will be on "To Catch A Preditor" next week. (serious)

(+) 1 Yeah! (+)

You know, this topic makes me think.

In our society, there's no question that pedophilia is disgusting and harmful to the child... but perhaps, in some way, that's because it's considered so.

Er, let me try and explain where I'm coming from.

There's a tribe in Africa whose name is eluding me at the moment but I'm pretty sure starts with "Ma." Their custom is such that in their culture, a boy cannot be considered a man until he recieves an offering of semen from an older male in the tribe. It's certainly what we Westerners would consider an act of sexual contact between a child and an adult man... but in the context of that culture, I don't know if you could call it harmful. It's something to take pride in there, not a source of shame, not a relationship between a victim and an opressor.

In much the same way, in ancient Greek culture, young men were encouraged to have sexual relationships with older men, as young women were encouraged to do with older women, as a sort of introduction to the world of adulthood. Those relationships weren't harmful because they weren't done in a context that would make them harmful.

This is, of course, just getting to the whole "objective morality" thing. You know, "Is Rape A Sin in Andromeda?" sort of thing.

It's also moot when related to the subject at hand, because in the modern Western world, a sexual relationship between child and adult isn't about coming of age, it isn't a thing of pride--it IS a relationship between victim and victimizer, it is harmful, and it's a horrible, disgusting thing.

I also would like to know why people are acting like sting operations are new? Cops have been posing as drug dealers and hookers for decades to arrest unsuspecting buyers. People wear wires to get incriminating evidence. Entrapment is a lot of what police do. Next people will be whining that getting pulled over for speeding is illegal because the cop didn't let you know ahead of time that he'd be waiting over the blind hill or behind the overpass. The show host is a douche and the show in general is obnoxious, but there's nothing wrong with doing what they are doing as long as they perform due diligence to make sure the people they sting are actually guilty.

I have two problems with this story. I haven't made up my mind yet, but they are making me lean towards fake. First, if Mike set this up, wouldn't the cops be after him for soliciting the girl in the first place? Second is this picture,

According to your story you were let loose within 2 hours. That seems like an awfully short time to be sent to trial, be tried, and found not guilty.

In our society, there's no question that pedophilia is disgusting and harmful to the child... but perhaps, in some way, that's because it's considered so.

You have a fairly valid argument in some sense but it's completely wrong for the simple fact that adults may think its wrong for rational reasons, but children, especially young children who don't understand sex inherently know that these things shouldn't be happening.

I'm not talking teens, but young children, 5-8ish range. They don't know what sex is, and they don't know what there genitalia is for other than thats where pee comes out of. But all of them are extremely traumatized when they are abused. When they are being molested they know it shouldn't be happening even if they don't know why so you can't say that they are taught that it's wrong.

I could be wrong but what I think he said was that he was found not guilty in 2 hours. It's entirely possible that what he meant was that the jury deliberated, if there was a jury, or that the judge deliberated for two hours, not that the entire process took 2 hours. i could be wrong but that's what I took him to mean.

I don't even understand it to begin with, let alone when it's in bold!

I know I haven't used this board for a while, but this is the greatest topic I've ever read on this or any board.

You can take any of us out of board 8, but you can never take the board 8 out of any of us.

[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]

Notice how there was a turn around and faint in his story. Notice how the guy in the video was sitting down, almost puking for a while and THEN faints after talking to Chris for a few moments.

Good, but no cigar.

Do you mean... He saw only the short video and based the story on that?

^^^It's possible, in the longer video he also seems to eating something tasty.
Hansen also implies there was little more dialogue between them earlier.

It's not only possible but it's what happened. Too many holes and too many impossibilities.

...I turn around and it's Chris Hansen. I am in utter shock...

"..wha.." I manage to say, and then everything turned black.

When I woke up I was in a bed

This doesn't match the video at all.

And I thought someone once accused Shake of trying to get Ail's employers to think she was a pedophile? If this is wrong I completely apologize and retract my statement, but if it's true that makes his strong statements kinda hypocritical.

Apology accepted.

This is the first topic with more then 300 posts I bothered reading through entirely in like a year or something. Good job Kuge.

FALCON PUNCH!

Alternately, if it's real, he was arrested.

:) Shake's anti-pedophile rantings in the beginning of the topic gave me a mental image of a school shooting where the kid is massacring everyone in the room but instead of bullets it's his intelligence. >_> Yeah I'll shut up now.

I hope this is real (sorry Kuge, just makes it more interesting that way), but this has been entertaining nonetheless.

Kuge, still waiting to see a copy pic of a copy of that contract between you and NBC. Then i'll proclaim this topic epic.

That being said, this story is fake. I noticed that the fainting guy looked like the picture of "Kuge" from yahoo in which you guys thought I looked like him for some reason.

Once the topic hit 87 posts when I woke up, I decided to play it off as if it were real, lol.
