[QUOTE="Fladian, post: 127826, member: 5833"] No, that's a realistic attitude, and one I share with him. The truth is, there is nothing you can do against it, no matter how hard it may feel. Warning people about this stuff is a path with no end. People will not take warnings as heavily as some should. Therefore this is completely useless. There are already numerous ways to prevent (or at least, lower) this from happening and I coincidentally recently watched a documentary about it on TV where they showed several ways to prevent it from happening and lower the chance of it - sexual abuse, that is. But despite of all those heavy equipment to do things, still it isn't stopped. It is something endless. Accepting it, trying to prevent it from happening with the people you know and finally soothing the person who needs it the most; that's perhaps the best and only thing you can possibly do. An interesting quote to give to this would be the following. I have nothing else to add to that. "What do you think you've found? Here... in this dying world. Why do you build? Knowing destruction is inevitably. Why do yearn to live knowing all things must die?" (- Final Fantasy VI, Kefka) Then your dad wouldn't want to live here. During the last election, a political group was formed that encouraged pedophilia. Or rather, they were completely focused on it and wanted to make it legal. The political group was not in the end not elected and got a minimum amount (if they got any at all, I'm not sure) votes. The way most remember them is as a: "Sick political group." To be honest, I'm not quite sure how serious I was supposed to take this group - and with me, the rest of the country as well. They also encouraged something related to the Nazi's. Do remember that they are still looked down upon out here, in the Netherlands, which holds the largest rivalry to Germany than any other. (I fall a bit out of line here, I actually like Germany =P) The quote is right, but looked at it from a different way, which is not related to the subject. The quote would fit better during war. Though what you say is true. "Being used for violence, destruction and the ruining of life," is perhaps the worst thing that could happen for somene who was against it. Coincidentally, not too long ago I saw a movie/documtentary (and read a (amateur)story) about it. That was on the 12th of October in 2006; it made it to my Quote of the Day. It would be something terrible to imagine. That is one of the reasons, another reason which probably gets a second place after the one you mentioned would be the kick of it. The adrenaline which is gained from it. Which does make me sick are several punishments against it. The death-punishment (death-penalty?) is not legal here anymore; a life-long imprisionment is not life-long either. I don't have my law book here (that one is downstairs), so I'll be doing it from my memory, but I believe the longest punishment is sixteen years.
