Pedophilia: Now open for discussion?

Posted by CIENNA MADRID on May 30 at 10:55 AM

Dutch pedophiles now want a voice in parliament and a hand in your child’s pants.

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch pedophiles are launching a political party to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations to 12 from 16 and the legalization of child pornography and sex with animals, sparking widespread outrage.

“A ban just makes children curious,” Ad van den Berg, one of the party’s founders, told the Algemeen Dagblad (AD) newspaper.

“We want to make pedophilia the subject of discussion,” he said, adding the subject had been a taboo since the 1996 Marc Dutroux child abuse scandal in neighboring Belgium.

As appalling as this is, I must admit I’m curious to find out who is brave/stupid enough to step up and become the talking head (or poster child, if you’ll pardon the terrible pun) for pedophiles everywhere.

This is just another step in the downhill slope the Netherlands is on following the legalization of Gay Marriage. Next thing you know, it'll be polygamy, people marrying animals, etc. Just like the good Sen. Santorum predicted.

So, if I understand this correctly - *everyone* who has written is *that* certain and afraid that these people *do* have majority support?

Wow.

"As appalling as this is, I must admit I’m curious to find out who is brave/stupid enough to step up and become the talking head (or poster child, if you’ll pardon the terrible pun) for pedophiles everywhere."

den Berg is one, Norbert de Jonge is another... forgot who the third guy was.

...I have to admit, I don't follow it all that much. Wikipedia has an article on the party, if you can spell Flemish well enough to find it.
