Only a fool minus compassion and understanding would
speak such things.

I never denied "wrong doing within the establishment." In fact, I'm the one who pointed out Rotherham and Savile. What I am DENYING is that it is fair, right, or just to malign an entire group of people without proof. What I am denying is that everyone who has alleged 'power' in this world is a child molester or protects child molesters.
And, ironically, I'd fight the same argument if you tried to say everyone who was on welfare was a child molester. Or everyone who lives in China. Or any other general stereotype.

I do not feel Tech is trying to generalize or broad brush an entire class of people, like has been implied. My personal opinion is that, while there are no doubt decent people in the elite class, it still takes a special breed so to speak. The difference between abusers in upper classes and lower classes is really simple. The elite have the money and connections to protect each other. And why wouldn't they protect each other? If one or two falls it could start a domino effect. Again, not broad brushing all elites as pedos and such. TBH I'm not sure at what point you join the elite class. I'm certain it's no easy task though.
Rarely has man been more cruel against man than in the condemnation and punishment of those accused of the so-called sexual perversions. The penalties have included imprisonment, torture, the loss of life or limb, banishment, blackmail, social ostracism, the loss of social prestige, renunciation by friends and families, the loss of position in school or in business, severe penalties meted out for convictions of men serving in the armed forces, public condemnation by emotionally insecure and vindictive judges on the bench, and the torture endured by those who live in perpetual fear that their non-conformant sexual behavior will be exposed to public view. These are the penalties which have been imposed on and against persons who have done no damage to the property or physical bodies of others, but who have failed to adhere to the mandated custom. Such cruelties have not often been matched, except in religious and racial persecutions.
—Alfred Kinsey (1948

I say what I want. And my worldly self says #### those
that don't like it. I say it for them. But I refuse to make
an issue of it in the wrong context. So no worries.

Exactly. It's the closed knit inner circles like that, that scare me.
I've got no problem with you or anything you've said in my threads bro. Got nothing but love for you just in case we've got our wires crossed somehow. We're probably cool lol but with all these indirects flying about now it's hard to tell. That's why I hate it when people come in and try to confuse matters.
Well it is pretty obvious that god has abandoned us,

This is exactly what I meant by your own lack of understanding.
