Quote:You don't know that, you assert it without a shred of evidence. You know that some priests (how about you give me a number?) have indeed done so. Now, back up your assertion with statistics drawn from known pehophiles elsewhere, and we can have a conversation on the topic. What is disturbing is the "tip of the iceberg" problem. How many pedophiles out there, that we don't know about, are exploiting children for their kicks?
"The religious people" are not all priests, indeed, priests make up a miniscule percentage of Christians. As for another of your canards, a pedophile priest will burn in hell alongside a pedophile from the laity, according to doctrine.
Thanks for playing, but I think that delicious vino locale might be clouding your thinking. It did the same to me for three years! :lol: Brain cells well burned.
Occhi
Come on Occhi, you know what I meant. That there is absolutely no proof, and not even a suspicion, that pedophilia would be more comon under certain groups of people, the same as homophilia. Certain groups try to deny it, of course...but that does not mean it isn't there.
And more important......the fact that in Holland these people are stirring up society with saying they want to start a political party does not mean there are more pedophiles in Holland.....just to make things clear here.

I see you point, but do you really see this as a viable threat? That people will side with paedophiles in opposition to the extreme right movement?
In the spirit of having to choose between two evils, I'd rather side with a genodical maglomaniac like Adolph Hitler than rally behind child molesters, and I'm more inclined to believe that Dutch liberals will lean more to the right to distance themselves as much as (in)humanly possible from these psychopaths rather than support them.
But hey, I could be wrong.
edit: typo
First, of course this is not a threat..it is not going to happen. Second, these people that want to start this party are no child molesters...if they had ever molested a child they would be in prison for a long time.
Stop thinking that In Holland people are crazy.
