    Strategy: You start with the rhetorical “why don’t paedophiles hang around old peoples homes” and work the problem back from there.

    Hogday, I can’t get the link to open and you’re just down the road from me, MOL. Stop hogging all the internetz.

    I feel like I have to take a shower after reading that.

    It really shouldn’t come as a surprise, though. These are the same people who support Roman Polansky.

    We have seen it over the decades, now and then one gets throw out as a sop to the public to make it look like something is being done about the problem. All just window dressing.

    But I think it is minor compared to the problem in the school system. I’ve seen some reports that 8% to 10% of the people in the school system are chronophiles of some sort.

    Now, that said, in general I have some trouble understanding why there is the prohibition on people having sex at the age of 16 or 17. Historically most were married at around that age. And physically we are more than ready. The problem, as I see it, with it in Hollywood it the abuse of a position of authority.

    The next big push from those who drive the Far Left social agenda is de-criminalizing of child molestation and child rape.

    For those who immediately wave their hands and declaring such to be impossible, I would tell you that there are psychiatrists and psychologists lined up from Boston to New York who will be happy to provide advice that sex with a child is conducive to his/her development. They will find sympathetic ears and justifications aplenty in Hollywood (as you can see), and in education, and the media. After all, who would have guessed in 1975 that we would be seeing advocacy for declaring children as young as FIVE to be “gay”? And that cross-dressing, “transgender” lifestyles with the concomitant extreme promiscuity being promoted well ahead of heterosexuality?

      Ever hear of a movie called Powder? A Disney movie from the mid 90′s. It was directed by a guy that filmed himself molesting a 12 year old. Disney knowingly hired a convicted child molester. I remember the cast doing interviews defending the guy, talking about how the main character (Powder) was expressing the “terrible pain” the director felt (not remorse, mind you… nothing to be sorry for in anything-goes-Tinseltown, unless you insult a minority of some kind). The guy went on to direct a series of highly successful horror films, including Jeepers Creepers. He still works in Hollywood today. Along with Roman Polanski and Woody Allen. When it comes to moral crusades, Hollywood is composed of the ultimate hypocrites.

        Douglas,

        I have never heard of that movie. Or the story behind it. Yet, I am not in the least surprised by it, not one small smidge.

        Some people deserve a shotgun under the chin and a deer slug out the top of the head.

        Disney knowingly hired a convicted child molester.

        Um, Doug? Not quite accurate. In fact, Disney proper had no idea about Salva’s past.

        Caravan Pictures -then a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group- made the movie. To a great degree they were independent of Disney. The head of Caravan (Roger Birnbaum) was the one who hired Salva.

        One person who still defends Salva is, believe it or not, Frances Ford Coppola. Some of the more … interesting quotes in that article include:

        The Orlando Sentinel’s Roger Moore wrote that Salva was perhaps too talented for an exploitative horror movie, “but this is all that Hollywood will let convicted child molesters do.”

        From Salva himself:

        I pled guilty to a terrible crime, and I’ve spent the rest of my life trying to make up for it. For almost 20 years, I’ve been involved with helping others, I’ve been in therapy, and I’ve made movies. But I paid my debt to society and apologized to the young man. And all I can hope is that people will give me a chance to redeem myself.

        Note that he “plead guilty” to a crime, as opposed to to accepting guilt for his own actions. But, hey, if you go to therapy and apologize, it’s all good.

        From Coppola, later in the article; a fairly long cite:

        Throughout Salva’s tribulations, Coppola has remained his loyal patron. After Salva’s release from prison, Coppola gave him $5,000, which he lived on for a year. When MGM was nervous about hiring Salva to direct “Jeepers Creepers,” Coppola, then producing a slate of films at the studio, vouched for him.

        “Someone had launched a campaign against Victor, saying, ‘How can you give this guy a movie to make?’ ” recalls Coppola. “Some of the financing for the film fell through. One of the actors resigned when he learned about the case. So I helped Victor get the job. I was criticized for it, but my attitude is, he has a talent, and that talent in itself is good. We don’t have to embrace the person in believing that their art is a contribution to society.”

        Coppola was on hand for some of the filming of “Clownhouse” — since it was made, in part, at Coppola’s home in Napa Valley. “I didn’t know of anything improper going on, although I witnessed some things that caused me to raise an eyebrow,” he says. “Only in retrospect did things really add up. You have to remember, while this was a tragedy, that the difference in age between Victor and the boy was very small — Victor was practically a child himself.” (Actually, Salva was 29 to the boy’s 12.)

        Coppola is not surprised that some people will never forgive Salva. “They’re entitled to feel that way,” he says. “But he has a real gift as a filmmaker. The punishment has been completed, and he should be a citizen again.”

        This from one of the most famous & honored directors in Hollywood.

    More proof that there is no such thing as “the naked public square”. Absent Godly character, something else comes in to fill the void.

      The “public square” needs a platform and a noose….that’s if decent parents don’t shoot the SOB first. I KNOW I would.

      And before you say it, I’d be in prison with a clear conscience…that is, if they could get a jury to convict me.

    To the complaining parties: Name the names if you want to solve the problem – or not, and then you leave the perpetrators in place to do the same to more young people. I have little respect for the complaining parties in this article since they do not call out those responsible by name, have not had them prosecuted, and they don’t do so why?? To keep money coming in…not much different from those they criticize in the system who also ‘know’ what is going on but don’t upset the paycheck applecart. Sickos, all of them.

    So much money in Hollywierd – and no doubt that means there are some major funders of worldwide pedophilia right here in our backyard.

      I would agree with you Steve, name the names. If you don’t you are saying that it is OK for your child to be abused because further income is more important.
      I lived in SoCal for 12 years and knew several families that had their children in the film industry. What their kids went through was truly disgusting, let alone sexual abuse.

      Easy to say when you don’t have skin in the game, Steve. I don’t suppose you have any idea how mortifying it is for abuse victims to talk about what happened to them, not to mention what would happen to their life, including retaliation.

      Haven’t you read any of the literature about these people? One of the constants is the abuser constantly reminding their victim not to say anything, or the child will get into terrible trouble. That’s a huge load of brainwashing, and I don’t doubt many children find it nearly impossible to get past it.

    Someone needs to hit the plunger on that toilet. It’s symptomatic of societal breakdown at all levels…or it’s a major agent in that breakdown.

    About six years ago I was working for a company that flew a modified B727-200F on parabolic flights so passengers could experience zero-g, floating in the cabin. As a promotion, we were in Jacksonville just before the Superbowl and had some celebrities (actors, T.V. show hosts, models, football players and one pretty foreign news reporter from Televisa Mexico on the passenger manifest. One of the guests was a well known host of an evening news/entertainment magazine T.V. show. His entourage included a fellow who I was advised was the son of a wealthy H-wood family in show business. After the flight landed, we watched them de-plane with the usual mixture of sensory overload and amazement at what they had just done. Some looked a little green which was also normal due high incidence of nausea. Lots of high fives at their new status as members on the zero-g club.

    The next day post flight review of the cabin video cameras (we had four cameras taping everything) showed the Hollywood wealthy son floating close to the young female T.V. reporter from Mexico and as you would expect, the flyers were helping each other do flips and the superman trick in the cabin. During one of the last parabolas, this wealthy son waited until the reporter was floating in front of him, looked around to see if anyone was watching, then indecently and with intent, grabbed her crotch. The look on her face spoke volumes. She was shocked, humiliated and angry, all at the same time.

    I sent the entertainment tonight show host a copy of the tape. Said I wanted him to know what his pals were doing behind his back. From what I could tell, the celebrities aboard including the famous name host were none the wiser to the grope.

    The film colony has always been a morass of immorality. Nothing has changed that. Same with Politicians in DC.

    Observing this and your previous post about officers being relieved, I would say that this is no sleazier than what we would see if the military had children around. The only difference in opportunity.

      Why yes, the Navy has some. Best way is to take care of your own problems. Anytime you have more than a thousand people, you get behaviors found in society at a rate of 1/1000/year about…once a year.

      If you swiftly, carefully, and sternly impose punishment proportionate to the offense, the rate goes down. If you don’t the rate goes up.

      Prompt public application of detergent is deterrent. Works for pirates, perverts and politicians.

      Fair trial, stern punishment, bad paper discharge. Do not deviate from the order of operations.

      Cuts down on the rate of fired Commanding Officers too.
