I don't 'like' rapists, paedophiles - or anyone who is placed on the Sex Offenders Register for accessing child pornography.

Yes, it's good to pretend everything's black and white. Makes things easier.

Props. I, however, am the complete opposite; I'm quite the paedophilephile.

Unless you're playing snooker.

Not for some, it seems...

I read a depressing report that says the average African-American male will spend three years of his life in prison.

I read a report that says the average politically-correct white American replaces 'black American male' with 'African-American male'. I asked a Black-Brit mate of mine why this might be and he said, "'Cus most of 'em is Kloset Ku-Klux-Klan types, innit!"

Of course, after a stupid comment like that, he is no longer a mate of mine.

I'm pretty sure I remember him being nabbed at an airport as he tried to leave the country.

After being released from prison (so the binary opposite of escaping justice), he left the country (Cambodia, I think). The one he first tried to go to (Thailand?) didn't let him past the airport. He was never arrested.

Morrace, the facts in Townshend's case have already been shown. He was put on the list because he broke the law; is he an actual sex offender though, in the way most people would take that term to mean? A paedophile? No, it seems not.

The law's an ass. A poorly written, ill-thought out ass.

"No, it seems not." :D

It doesn't matter if it was consensual, she was 13. Polanski had asked her mother's permission to photograph her, so he obviously knew she was a minor.

Yes, and also, how could it be consensual, if he drugged her?

- and (ironically) Pete Townsend wrote all the theme tunes for CSI's Vegas, Miami and New York. Thing is, do investigators, Gil Grissom, Horatio Caine and Mac Taylor know that Townsend was put on the Sex Offenders list? If not, I think they should be told.

I'm surprised at how often Gary Glitter's songs are used in American movies. He also performed in the 1994 Children in Need appeal. :O

>_<

Did fate and or numerology play a roll in RP's arrest? I wonder. She was 13; 31 years later he finally gets rearressted. 13 + 31 = 44 which was RP's age at the time of the incident!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Teary

I heard that Pudsy caught Glitter at it and he stabbed him in the eye.

You're a comedy writer, aren't you? I can tell.

I'd say a brilliantly written ass. If it doesn't worry or infuriate you, then you should start worrying.
