When I clicked on the link, I had to register for a new site, which I'm not going to do. You did not state that the second opinion was a response to yours, so I read the quotes for what they were, a back to back response.

I agree with all of that, too.

No, you are not having to deal with fellow posters who have contemplated suicide due to some the lunacy you justified as reasonable and call my opinion as disagreement.

What does this conversation have to do with you? Have you EVER been sexual molested or abused? Because several people have as have I. And I find it shocking that we have to be careful being around adults because they cannot keep it in their pants or zipped up?

A child cannot help being a child.

And that is a perverse thought to enacted by that adult when they feel they should hurt children.

The other issue I don't care how cultural as we think it is. A child discipline is NOT that.

You are bullying me because you have nothing better to say to me.

Get over yourself and your arrogance, punk.

Your choice, but that still does makes you a vile person in my opinion...

Go away, please, I beg of you. I hate you so much right now, I cannot stand you.

This is the thing... you don't know what I've been through or witnessed because I don't put my entire life on the internet. Most of it, yes, but not all. GreekChat is not the place where I share those stories.

So what does this conversation have to do with me? None of your particular business.

That said, it's quite sad that you can't even see where I agree with you, as well. You can call me arrogant, you can call me a punk -- I've been called worse by better.

But if you can't handle the discourse, then you shouldn't have started the thread. This is a conversation.

While I agree with what you are saying, and in a perfect world, that is what parents can do for the protection of their children. However, a lot of sexual trauma does not get enacted by strangers, but by someone the child knows well...

And usually, the child is old enough to hear what the adult said as to "not to tell anyone, that's our little secret" and gets a prize, token or candy, and moves on. The disconnect is the child grows up and finds out how morally ugly it is, and if it was violent, they act out by hurting other children.

Yes, they should tell the loving parent that this is going on. But children aren't doing it because, of several reasons, traumatized and forgets, the parent is a drug addict and the person's doing the trauma is the boyfriend/husband, and/or a no one believed the child--i.e. no visible marks, etc.

So, it is irresponsible for an ordained pastor to run upon this with trepidation... I am sorry, I don't know how to do that...

You and I have nothing to discuss because I hate you, period. Your choice, live with your decisions. Dialog has been eliminated and it will always be combative.

I do not care to know who you really are, you are not a person I choose to interact with about anything. I think you know the reason why and I choose not to get over it and harbor this resentment forever. My choice.

As a result, you have nothing relevant to contribute to this conversation by your first post in my opinion. Others may can choose to agree with you. Whatever you write, wherever you write it on GC, I will NEVER, EVER agree with you... And what you have to say about posts, does not mean you have any reason to interact with me.

I am kindly asking you to leave. Please leave. I cannot stop your posts, I don't want to and I don't care, really. But you and I, have ZERO meaningful conversations ANYWHERE in the torrential OCEAN of cyberspace and on this planet Earth...

Yes, it is like that...

A close friend of mine, posted in response to this post:

The way I read this "pastor's" comments in response to mine, which were utterly benign by the way, it is still wrong to recommend to parents that they should control the "cuteness" of their children while sitting on offender's laps--I cannot believe I can write that statement correctly... :eek:

better to kill yourself, in the greater scheme of the universe, than to ever harm a child like that


good god, how can some people excuse it?

This has gotten out of hand. Thread closed.
