The Kray Twins, Jimmy Saville and the "Pink Ballet" Paedophile parties

[Gandalf]

It is a very disturbing topic for sure. Personally, I dont think it is right for middle aged men to be having relationships with young kids and I believe anyone below 18 is a kid and needs protecting. Instead society sexualises people and schools them on sex and it just makes me queasy to see vulnerable, impressionable young minds abused. It has gone too far. I interact with 18 year olds daily and though they are adults, many are still like children. They are immature, funnily so, but they need to grow on their own terms and with people their own age.

thats because they are Koreans that they are so naive and immature. Cultures have a lot to do with it. Believe me 16/17/18 year old girls in Brooklyn and the Bronx have already been sexually active for 3 years or more and will come after you like demons. Whole different can of worms. Think that's bad? I personally know 3 Guatemalan families in East Orange, NJ who got married when they were 13 years old to 12 year old wives and had 3 kids by the ages of 16 and 15 respectively. In Guatemala and El Salvador (just for 2 examples) you can be a grandfather at the ripe old age of 27, that's the way they been doin' it for thousands of years. These are not forced or religious marriages either.

It is because the kids are more protected and the family remains strong. It is nice to see young adults being young adults. The way kids of 16 are left to fend for themselves or get shacked up to 40000 pounds of debt or be taken advantage of back home is repellent. Most kids go to Uni here and they grow up in their own time. It is how it once was back home in decades past. I cannot even imagine a single teenage Mum here. The shame that would bring on the family. Its good to see values and respect for the young. There are bad apples for sure, but it is observably different.

yes Korea is totally different than, say, Queens, NY. night and day.

What I would say is think about yourself. Do you really think you were completely grown up at 16? I wasn't. I would have said I was, but I was a naive messed up kid who simply knew how to read and cover up his feelings. A damaged little fuck like the rest of them. If some 30 year old MILF had come along she would have been abusing me and I wouldnt have known any different. But she buys me lollypops! Kids need love and nurturing and should be kept away from grooming adults. I feel quite strongly on the issue as kids are damaged the best of times. Young girls must have a much harder time than young boys....though seemingly not from what we hear. Very bad.

I hear you. But I am personally a different case, but I know exactly what you are saying Miles.
However when I was 13 I used to fantasize about all my female teachers who were atleast in their late 20s/early 30s. I would even flirt with them after school, they must have laughed their asses off. Ms. Toscher was a hottie, I had her in 6th grade, I was 12 and she was about 33, I wanted her to strip naked and go into an empty classroom with me after school when the Fall sun is starting to set at about 4 p.m. when the hallways are all empty and there is nobody around but maybe a janitor mopping the halls on the other side of the school and it is a bit spooky. I would get butterflies in my stomach fantasizing about Ms. Toscher. Eileen Toscher was her name. She was a hottie. Never forget her!

Oh, and Miss Stevens, yes, Virginia Stevens, WOW!!!!!!! "Stephen, I'll see you after school for detention!" and I was like YEAHHHHH BABYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! NO PROB

I know what you are saying Brock. I know some of the more laddish ones here would say I am just being a square too, but something about all that just creeps me out. I had a teacher at school who lost his job because he slept with a student. I dont understand it TBH. Last week a student discovered I was married and declared amongst her speaking group that she felt 'betrayed'. You have to be very careful with kids. This girl was 21! That's how immature some can be. It's an unrealistic fantasy. I had a laugh about it but made sure to move onto observing the next group. As teachers we have a duty to keep up our performance at all times. I think that should extend to all adults.
