      uncommon

      I fucking wish. It’s an epidemic. Especially in positions of authority and wealth. Not sure what that correlation implies, but it exists.

        Yeah you might want to look into academic sources on this because the media likes to imply this is widespread when it simply isn’t.

              Im the one arguing they are pedophiles.

              Because i have seen them be pedophiles at me, back when that was possible. Im fine (or, at least mostly avoided that hazard), but have literally seen it happen!

              And i was a pretty slippery kid, so odds are they got more than a few others. Im pretty sure i met some of them; the victims, but im not going to discuss that.

              What’s more pertinent: not one of them was ever prosecuted. So you wouldn’t see it.

            Ok then you are entirely incorrect in your perspective and you should actually look at facts as your personal experience isn’t a good source in this case.

              Ive met more than i would like to. Most of them when i was a child. I met other convicted pedos, knew em pretty well.

              I dont know that i could identify them now as an old lady, but looking back, apmost every single one had pedo vibes; at least a few asked openly.

              None of the names i recognize have ever been prosecuted. Because theyre rich.

                Vibes are never a good source when it cones to sorting data but at least youcan narrow down why you are getting it wrong.

                  There is no good data source. If you run by prosecutions, laws do not apply to the wealthy.

                  I’ve met a lot of rich assholes, and all if them acted like pedos. More than one tried to groom me.

                  More than not acted like pedophiles.

                    I know an old guy who groomed a 17 year old from a student group he volunteered with, and right as she’s 18 and graduating she’s moving in with him. We didn’t have grooming laws six months ago but we do now. Still doesn’t apply. He “did nothing wrong” . Not all child predators are convicted.

                    There are good sources your vibes/feelings/emotions just are not good sources (this is true for everyone).

                    I don’t think you can just tell if someone is a pedophile.

                    You should seek help if you aren’t already if you were really groomed.
