I love this comment

I didn’t mean to suggest that all child-abuse victims went on to become abusers.

Lot of people here saying ‘well duh’.

The target audience for UKIP, Reform, BNP, and whatever new name they come up with are gullible, and do not think critically.

People need to be reminded constantly that these parties are filled with fucking awful examples of the worst of humanity.

It’s a difficult question.

A very large percentage of paedophiles are victims themselves. Children don’t have any characteristics that arouse me, and to dwell on the thought males me feel very uncomfortable indeed.

If a person is attracted to a child in a sexual manner, then for want of a better way of putting it, there has to be something wrong with that. Arguably that person needs help rather than incarceration.

But then there are the victims of the paedophile. They deserve justice, and children deserve to be safe.

Maybe MJ was a private and quirky troubled artist who was guilty of poor optics. Maybe he was a serial serial offender, who was enabled BT paid off security, parents etc.

We will never know what MJ did or did not do with those children, but they were failed by multiple adults, regardless. If you let your kid play on a main road you are a terrible parent, whether they get hit by a car or not. Every person that did not intervene, allowed that child to continue playing is as responsible as the parent.

The vote is for a fascist or not a fascist; it doesn’t seem like a hard choice really.

Impossible body standards

Just fold the map in half, like in Event Horizon.

Shit worked out fine.

Something classical. Maybe Claire Du Lune by Debussy.

I want to be 100% centered when I bust in there, and open them up, one by one.

Huh.

Supply Side Jesus

TIL

Jesus would be so proud

I am sure the police will behave in a polite but professional manner, shooting keeping the people safe and suppressing free speach maintaining order.

It fucking blows my mind that trump continues to get away with what he has.

Riot police is what you get when parents don’t show their children love.

Made in 1987 and still on the road. I can’t imagine what a standard one would be worth now.

That cat is about to get yeeted into Oblivion

I think the problem here is making rape sound like an opportunist crime: like you left a wallet stuffed full of cash at a bar and someone took it while the owner was getting a drink.

"Well, you were dressed showing too much skin, and you didn’t take your knight-in-shining-armour, so what do you expect?

If a person don’t see the problem with this view, then there a significant lack of insight. But then that is probably Tates’ target audience.

How do you make a milkshake in the fucking microwave, Marie? Are you drinking hot milkshakes?

Is the wire hidden under the water, like a trap, or 8s it very obvious an plain to see.

Neither are good, obviously, but one is infinitely more horrifying than the other

Razor wire in the water?

What kind of monster would do this?

I am not joking; I am genuinely asking.
