Sure it happened in old times but that doesn't make it ok. My dad is 90 and when he was 10 his boy scout leader asked him to sit on his lap and my dad said no so another doy did and then went into the tent with the scout leader. Even at 10 years old and having never talked about sex, my dad knew something was wrong with that. |

Papa Santa User ID: 69598034 United States 07/14/2015 05:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Dawkins made the remarks in a interview with The Times magazine. He said that during his time at a boarding school as a boy in the 1950s, a teacher “pulled me on his knee and put his hand inside my shorts.” Dawkins described the incident as “mild pedophilia” that left him no worse off. Neither Dawkins nor the other boys abused by this teacher suffered permanent physical or mental damage, he said. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69474485 “I don’t think he did any of us lasting harm,” said Dawkins. Dawkins also said that it was improper to judge the acts committed by this teacher by today’s higher moral standards. “I am very conscious that you can’t condemn people of an earlier era by the standards of ours,” he said. “Just as we don’t look back at the 18th and 19th centuries and condemn people for racism in the same way as we would condemn a modern person for racism, I look back a few decades to my childhood and see things like caning, like mild pedophilia, and can’t find it in me to condemn it by the same standards as I or anyone would today.” His perspective on sexual assault drew strong criticism from numerous victims’ rights organizations, including Peter Watt, director of child protection at the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69614893 Probably not, because he attended an English Boarding School. The English Boarding School system has been fucking notorious for its homo-erotic and paedophilic activities, for centuries. All the top "Establishment" figures attend them as small boys (mostly, though Cheltenham Ladies College and Roedean probably turn out a bunch of young dykes) and it appears that about 90% (yes, 90%) of all boys that attend these places have one or more homosexual encounters during their time there. I applaud the 10% who somehow manage not to get buggered by the sixth-form prefects. They all claim in later life that this didn't affect them at all, as they go about their sodomitic business in our Houses of Parliament, our Law Courts, our Police Stations, our Military establishments, our local Council offices, etc. etc. etc. |

It happened to him and it didn't have a long term effect. This feeble attack on the man doesn't make your gods exist. If you want to investigate paedophiles, you'll find plenty of material among "holy men". Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42778409 he is anti-god and you say he wasn't affected? he doesn't have enough of an objective perspectiveto make that claim anyway |
