My sincere apologies for burdening you with this but it's the loudest scream that I can muster:

It's utterly silent, as screams go, unless you précis the clip - all I can see is a Flash Player window which my computer is incapable of playing, since I have no Flash Player installed.

What's wrong with words?

Is it a comedy skit?

Don't bother. It's too gruesome.

Oh, bravo. Très amusant. Very drole. I suppose that's not an Adobe Flash product too, then? I haven't a clue what it shows.

I note neither person named in the thread title appears in Wikipedia, which is a bit of a warning sign.

This seems a coherent account, just looking at the layout and checking it's not the Daily Mail: Australian pedophile gets 30 years in US jail for abusing Russian-born boy — RT News

Umm... Two Americans who emigrated to Australia, rented out a boy for sex and went to jail for long periods.

I wonder what we're meant to deplore.

The two men? By all means. Bad chaps. Is there any doubt as far as that goes? Nobody's claiming they didn't do it, for instance?

The length of the sentence? Perfectly reasonable. Though if they'd killed the boy to prevent him from from giving evidence they couldn't have been given a much longer term. I'd far rather see a working rehabilitation scheme than a long sentence but nobody appears to care much about rehabilitation.

The moral of the story? Don't let foreigners adopt children.

What have I failed to grasp, so far?

I only asked what the video clips were about, since I can't play Adobe Flash video clips. Not everyone can. Words are the common denominator of Internet forums.

As you can see I found a newspaper article about the convictions. Russian boy, adopted and taken out of Russia, disgustingly abused by adopters and their paying customers. Lots of lessons to be learned.

The world seems to be divided on the subject of rehabilitation though. Some people feel punishment is an essential part of the criminal justice system, others think the criminal justice system exists to reduce levels of crime. I merely wonder what your intention is in capitalizing the word PEDOPHILES in the title of the thread. Is this a witch-hunt or a discussion?

The way witch-hunts work is like this. There's a quiet day on an Internet forum and someone starts a thread with the word PEDOPHILES in the title. Capitalized, for preference, just so people get the idea. The rest of the membership looks up, and they all shout PEDOPHILES!! in responding posts, often with BURN THEM OUT!! and such exclamations just to show they're the Right Sort of poster. Cut their balls off, cut their heads off, let's bring back spikes on London Bridge, that sort of inanity.

I don't much like capitalizing for emphasis, it's so juvenile. Or should we not we use juvenile in this context.

Would we like to discuss pedophilia? Or shall we just scream as loudly as we can instead.

The video is 46 minutes long yet you managed to get it beneath your Dr. Martins in less than 10 minutes. I'm, impressed!

I can't watch it! What bit of "I can't play Adobe Flash video clips" did you miss?

I actually first posted two hours after your first video went up and 24 minutes after the second, where do you get "less than ten minutes" from?

I just wonder why you felt the need to share this on this forum, without taking the time to share your thoughts on the subject.

He said he wanted to scream loudly in public. Reason didn't enter the equation.

Distinguishing right from wrong is culturally conditioned and changes continually. The fact that Charles Kingsley could create a stir by deploring the working condition of child chimney-sweeps, for example, marks a turning-point before which the deplorable working condition of child chimney-sweeps in England was considered entirely natural, acceptable and a way to keep the children out of the workhouse and gainfully employed.

All known pre-Columbian civilizations of Mesoamerica practiced human sacrifice. It was considered "the highest level of an entire panoply of offerings through which the Aztecs sought to repay their debt to the gods", it was more than just a moral duty, it was an essential aspect of survival for the community. Did that differ from what the English did to their child chimney-sweeps? Of course it differed - it was altruistic and benevolent instead of merely extracting as much profit from the powerless as could be legally managed. It was still, from today's viewpoint, vile and impotent.

There are things legally done in England today which will be regarded by future generations with the same abhorrence and disgust as either of the two examples I've given from the past, and I predict that high on the list will be our penal policy. The idea that this country, both government and electorate, is so obsessed by punishment that it doesn't even want to devise workable effective rehabilitation schemes should be a matter of shame, not pride, and one day will be.

Why are we so obsessed with a desire to punish rather than correct? Because of threads like this one. Because of News of the World campaigns to get mobs out on the streets baying for blood, from which this thread differs not one iota.

You must have misunderstood me. I ADMIRE you for criticizing a 46 minute long video after only 10 minutes had elapsed from the time I submitted an “additional link. :yh_worshp But I admit that I reacted much too soon because now you say that you couldn't see the film AT ALL - even apparently after the second link. Now I'm even more impressed. You threw the contents of that video under the bus without having seen ANY OF IT ¦ or to put into your own words, "I can't play Adobe Flash video clips". Excellent work. I only wish that I had your clear vision. :yh_clap

With the link, presumably.

Fortunately I found a transcript, otherwise I'd have had no idea what the program covered. For anyone else wondering what it says, it's at The Boy with the Henna Tattoo - Four Corners

Perhaps you could explain what the loudest scream you could muster was intended to convey.

I would suggest telling us what it was about before posting the video. I seldom watch videos some one just posts out of the blue.

What is it about this particular video that you find worthy of note?

Surely it's not news to you that such things are going on in the world. Children are, and have been, exploited by animals such as these for centuries. The only thing noteworthy with this case, IMHO, is the exposure of such a sophisticated organization, behind it.

Thanks for helping me start out my morning so poorly, By the way. I usually try to have my coffee and break fast before realizing just how feckin sorry civilized humans can be.



It seems that I must place FG on the same list as Facebook, as sites not to visit until after breakfast.

By the way, good to see you around, again.
