Women, Blacks, Gays, Paedophiles
44 Answers
Okay, following on from the topic regarding the homosexuals and the B&B, this is purely for a topic of debate (please do not get heated)and I am playing devils advocate.
100 years ago, women had very few rights. Today they are seen as having equal rights.
70 years ago (more so in the US than here), blacks had very few rights - today they are seen as having equal rights.
50 years ago, homosexuals had no rights - today they are seen as having equal rights.
Indeed, it was indeed illegal to be gay, you were allowed to beat your wife as well as your (black) slave.
How long before paedophiles are seen as an 'acceptable' minority.
In fact there needs to be two separate sides to this as we need to define what a paedophile is (or rather the age of the victim)
1) consider a paedophile to be interested in girls who have not reached puberty
2) who have reached puberty - Since the law tends to deal with ages, let us say (for the purposes of argument) 13
Your thoughts?
