too bad it was a cyber town hall. A real one would have been SOOOOOOOO useful.
Boom.

I think that one way to combat this problem is to punish countries where it is accepted or legal like certain European places, by completely shutting them out of trade or aid....or even kicking them out of the UN and getting NO protection or funding from the rest of the civilized world until they change their ways

It still won't be acceptable to the mass public and those who process such filth will be dealt with... without a court of law.

Then tell them the age and see how many can still bare to look at the picture when they realise it is only a child and not an adult they see... it's a social thing more than a sexual thing. You can still find the child sexually attractive, you just choose not to when you know it's a child because soceiety says it is wrong.

What people think is attractive and sexaully appealling doesn't matter.
The mind and body are not developed for that. The issue isn't if the someone finds my very tall 13 year old sexually appealling. It is that her mind and body are NOT prepared for that, and she has no defenses against a person who has the authority and experience of age.

By what is wanted by somebody with a penis...? Clearly you havn't spoken to many 13 year old girls recently, at least not truthfully.
They know what they want and they sure as hell know ways to try and get it. They may not be ready for the consequences...but they certainly 'think' they are ready for 'it'.
That right there is half the trap... and underage girl pretending to be legal...and doing a very convincing job... can lead to a man in jail. Heck even if she admits she is a year or two younger, I would put money on it that many men who say they are nto peadophiles would consider it... even if they then said no.

Do you know what having a baby does to a thirteen year old? You live in the richest area of the planet, where they have access to hospitals.
In areas they don't, the physical damage can be quite extensive. Fistulas - where giving birth through a vaginal canal that isn't ready rips your vagina into your rectum so that poop drips from your vagina for the rest of your life.
Don't let the fact that you live in an Ivory Tower blind you to reality.

You seem to assume every girl who has underage sex is being abused...when the fact is the majority chose to do it willingly...and continue to do so, and will grow up and lead perfectly normal lives.
I am in secondary school, the young girls are VERY sexualised and speaking to female friends my own age, they knew perfectly well how they were dressing when they were younger. And that was exactly why they did it.
You said it Moo, (last line)

This just goes to show you that once again the people at the top are pedophiles.
For those who are unaware, Harriet Harman is one of the UK MPs involved in the recent "Expenses Scandal" she had put in an expense claim whereby the tax payer paid for her husbands porn !!!! The idiotic woman should not even be in office.
Societies needs to grow up and stop burying their heads in the sand over this subject, it needs open mature discussion which frankly there appears to be more of here than in the public domain.
Above all else I believe that pedophilia although a criminal act (and rightly so) should be publicly investigated as to whether it is a mental illness or not.
In many countries Alcoholism is treated as an illness whereby the alcoholic gets support and treatment, much is known about the subject due to studies eg that it can run in families. So why no serious medical investigation as to why the pedophile acts the way he/she does ?
Could the truth really be that abusers act the way they do because they are themselves victims of this type of abuse ? If this is true then are we not dealing with an illness (perhaps a pandemic) that causes a crime ?
We currently have someone to blame, that is the abuser but if it is really true that the abuser is suffering from an illness of the mind, it makes it difficult to lay blame and confuses the reason to seek justice.
To my mind if you have centuries of sexual repression eventually something will have to give and the demon will have to be let loose, not unlike the situation with the Catholic Church and it's pedophile ring. Move this up a scale to an entire society being very confused or having feelings of guilt in relation to their natural urges and the suppression of them and it has to be time bomb waiting to go off.
Or am I talking out of my arse ?

That can also happen to fully grown women....but besides the point.
