What sort of vicious weaklings does the BBC hire?

The answer is in the question.

Sadly.

Brit elites have always been pretty vile.

I think it comes from not slaughtering all the aristocrats, but you have to admit they are good for tourism.

We are living in a society that glamourizes celebrities.  I believe its why we have the President that we do.  It is deplorable and as the Bible says, 'it will be better for them to have a millstone tied around their neck and drowned in the deepest sea' Matthew 8:6.  This includes the abusers and the enablers that allow them to continue to abuse.

This is a manifestation of the mantra of 'Let Authority (Police, Fire) take care of any problem.... don't get involved.... let someone ELSE take care of it...

Let those idiot Soldiers protect our country... Let Police protect us... because we are trained in school that getting involved gets us in trouble... that violence even in self defense gets you suspended...

Thus, it leads to a non involved Populace... one who is so trained to be helpless... that when even great evil confronts them, they are clueless as to how to confront it.... and also IMO manifests into low voter turnouts (because people feel powerless).

Many people 'knew' about this pedophile... yet they all were waiting for 'someone else' to stop it...

When I first met my FIL, he showed me where all the booze and beer was kept. (And he had a ton of it) He said "I got two rules, you drink enough that you puke and you'll never drink in my house again and don't drink anything on this (pointed to particular shelf) fucking shelf. Got it?"

This is the sort of coverup is a symptom of institutional cronyism that always develops when accountability is discarded.

As Ace remarked on...it's similar to the Penn State debacle.

We also see it in our public schools, when bad teachers assault kids and are not fired.

Another example is the UAW members who were re-hired after being fired for drinking and smoking pot on their lunch breaks.

*sigh*

I know. I can only hope that I can teach her to be one of those independent, DIY type girls. Cause apparently us men find that emasculating and we hate those women.

#97 No, because Penn State had Graham Spanier as its President, and Spanier is pretty much a professional sexual libertine.  Before he got into administration he wrote several papers and articles on sexual freedom and one was on wife-swapping.   He was considered on the "cutting edge" as an academic.  I'm convinced he knew all about Sandusky and saw nothing wrong whatsoever with his "alternative lifestyle." 

Pedophilia is not considered immoral in many elite circles in Europe and in the US; it's just kept quiet because they know us plebes still do not approve.  I believe Jimmy Savile and Jerry Sandusky are just the tip of the iceberg, and both were known and tolerated by superiors who saw nothing wrong with their behavior at all.  Hollywood is full of pedophiles; the stories have leaked out about some very famous child stars being sexually abused by directors and studio execs.  The names of the abusers are being kept secret, but I wonder how long that will last. 

Once we accept gay marriage, the next effort will be to lower the age of consent to 14, or to abolish it altogether.  Mark my words.  The elites are pushing gay marriage for a reason, and it isn't because it's the civil rights issue of our time.  It's the gateway to legalizing adult-child sexual relationships.

Also, the judge is female and a member of the Working Families Party.
I hope that won't make a difference.

Have her removed from the case.      I'd scream that it makes her prejudiced and produce the WFP propaganda to prove it.

the rumors were all that Sevile was gay....

>>>

And, we can't keep persisting in the notion that gay people might be deviant in other ways too. There's no such thing as a gay pedophile!!!!!!!!!

Ace,

You shouldn't do a post on this fuck without showing his creepy picture.

This guy just screams pedophile.  Look at his creepy face.

Yes.  Corruption, moral, total, sums up the British.  They are dying as a country.  Very sad to watch.  There is no young blood anymore.

Will it rise again.  Who knows.

I'm taking the Berlitz course in liberal speak, so here goes:

"Mistakes were made."

How'd I do?

Let's see,

1) de minimis acknowledgement of wrongdoing - check

2) passive voice construction to avoid attribution of wrongdoing to ... well ... anyone - check.

Joffen,

Everyone here is on your side and wants the best for you, but you might want to back down on this one.

You did go through a bad time there and it's not totally clear if everything is 100% fine now.  Not the type of uncertainty a court wants to put a child into.  Accept the custody arrangement and tell the court that, at some point in the future, you would like the opportunity to amend the order to include unlimited visitation.

Especially without a good lawyer, keep yourself in a good light now so that it's easier in the future when you're ready to make an argument.

There was a Hollywood blog that a year or so ago ran some explosive anonymous comments after the Feldman interview.  It was all hushed up very fast after that.  There must be some VERY VERY powerful people involved. 

Watch Hayden Panettiere's amazing performance on "Nashville" and think about where all that emotion and hurt in her character is coming from. 

We saw this at Penn State. But Penn State's football program was small, and everyone knew each other. It was intimate.

___

Not so intimate when you consider that  one of the Board of Trustees was the PA Governor, Ed Rendell, who was in a position to more thoroughly investigate the allegations and news percolating up from Happy Valley.

After the Sandusky dust settled, it came out that one of Rendell's major Democrat operatives from Philadelphia turned out to be a career pedo and Friend of Jerry:

Eddie Savitz.

------------------------------

Seriously?  I'm going to assume you're not being serious.  You had an assistant coach that observed Sandusky raping a young boy in the shower and reported it to his boss (Joe Paterno).  It was also reported to the Athletic director and to campus police - none of which chose to take any corrective action.  The last time I checked, the Athletic Director also runs the football program. 

While I agree, he gained access to the boys via the kids camp, he was able to do so as an upstanding member of a large university's athletic department. 

These crimes occurred and were ignored especially because of the Penn State athletic department.  Therefore, the entire department should have been wiped out.  While I admit this would have been grossly unfair to the young men and women involved in the program, it would have been a very small price to pay for the crimes the school was directly involved in perpetuating.

I'm confused. If men hate women who can fend for themselves because it's emasculating, wouldn't a really hot woman who can fend for herself be doubly emasculating?

I don't know what beef your ex (or soon to be) has but she is using the kids to get back at you or to get something from you.   Find out what it is, and surrender that, not your time with the kids. If it's supervised, you'll never get to take them anywhere, your kids will start to resent their time with you, etc. 

If it's anything like  my experience with the Daughter of Satan during my divorce,  what she wants  is your death at her hands. Failing that, it's your frontal lobe and both testicles.

Good luck, Joffen. Oh, and Pro-tip: don't mention the Horde.

This.

I too have predicted that the age of consent is on Death Row, once homosexual marriage is allowed. NAMBLA is warming up in the bullpen just waiting for that.

Disagree on why the "elites" are pushing homosexual marriage, though. I think they view it as a good way to undermine the nuclear family, which is and always has been the biggest single impediment to imposing communism.

(See the kibbutz movement, an experiment in pure socialism, which foundered as such largely because women did not want to be separated from their children. Out goes barracks, in comes single family houses, and now it's everyone looking out for his own family. End of socialist bullshit.)

Yeah, I was being polite. They're full-on, straight-up, in your face Reds.

The Sandusky thing isn't going away. The new PA AG, a Dem, has already pledged to start investigating Gov Corbett and what he know/didn't know about Sandusky while Corbett was AG .

Posted by: Joffen, fucking sunshine patriot at December 13, 2012 02:40 PM (5UlAL)

Anything that SCOTUS has said about the standard to be applied before parental rights may be abridged will already be baked into the cake.  The "cake" is the body of state law that specifies in detail when and how parental rights can be limited or terminated.  Presumably, the judge will already be way more familiar with these than you are.  The only response you're likely to get by arguing about your constitutional rights is eye-rolling and you don't need to gratuitously antagonize the person who's going to decide this.

I travel to London regularly and trust me, their collapse is imminent.

We are still going strong here, even though we have suffered big time setbacks lately.

But it's possible they don't do things like that."

Posted by: tasker at December 13, 2012 02:51 PM (r2PLg)

Tasker is right.  I didn't mean to offer giving up visitation right off the bat, but if that is the way the hearing is going, back off and accept it instead of trying to make a constitutional argument.

Also, the idea of a letter from your doctor is great.  It never hurts to have professional opinion in writing.  Don't bother trying to find out what the ex wants, as Backwards Boy said, nothing short of your banishment from the planet will do.

The statement that personifies this is "I don't want to judge." Why not? Do you not know the difference between right and wrong? Or are you too scared that people will think *poorly* of you for judging and reporting the pedophile/ necrophiliac to the police?

An acquaintance once chided me for being "judgmental." I replied that grownups render judgments all the time; it's an essential part of being a grownup in fact. This is good, that's bad, the other is indifferent.

#211 That's a lot of partisan bullshit aimed at stirring up innuendo about Corbett to hurt his reelection campaign in 2014.  Corbett's said that while he was investigating the case they only had one boy that had come forward, and that was not enough to convict Sandusky.  They needed to find a pattern and corroboration or it would just be one kid's nword agains Sandusky's.  Once Corbett became Governor he was still sworn to secrecy about the case.  Good grief, he was the first AG to open a child sex crimes unit in the AG's office. 

There is a lot of butthurt among state Democrats that (a) Corbett was elected Governor, and (b) that he got to take credit for beginning the investigation of Sandusky and then for forcing Spanier and Paterno to be fired.  Also a lot of diehard Penn Staters despise Corbett because he ruined Paterno and damaged the football program.  They would love to see the entire investigation tainted, even if it means manufacturing a case that Corbett was either incompetent or compromised by big donors who were Penn Staters.

I don't agree that one pedophile discredits an entire government media agency, hence the government, hence the culture and the country.  That's just stupid.  Blaming pedophilia on single mom's -- that's beyond stupid.  Read a fucking book or just shut up about it.

Do they really want to go there? Because in PA, all roads lead to Rendell. It's no secret he's a notorious jock-sniffer. He of all people would have reason to squash the Sandusky story. And that is apart from the Savitz connection.

We didn't hear one murmur of criticism when Lynn Abraham and Seth Williams took years to deliver a Grand Jury report on their Catholic clergy sex abuse prosecutions.

Could it be because they're Philly donk apparatchiks?

Yes, I was so proud of our AG for establishing the Child Predator internet unit.

But I still hope that Bruce Castor primaries him, and wins. Because this "What did Corbett know" bullshit is PA's LIV mantra.

Years ago a local talk host interviewed a cop who went undercover on NAMBLA. He described the vast network of pedos who hid in plain sight - because they hold positions of esteem in the community. They had booklets and leaflets they used to distribute to each other instructing how to attract children, how to groom them, how to introduce them to the pleasures of sex with hairy old pussy-bitch-men-monsters years before their little bodies were prepared for these acts.

This was at least a decade before the advent of the internet, imagine how much more easily these beasts can now ply their trade. And the higher the positions of power they hold, the more of a cudgel against exposure. Because anyone who discovers their activities could end up seriously compromised.

Well, you don't have to get.....something...about it.

Kallisto, I don't remember much about the AG election, except that she never identified herself as a Dem in her commercials. But from what I understand, she said in one of the debates, directly, that she would probe Corbett over this.

Posted by: rockmom at December 13, 2012 02:30 PM (aBlZ1)

Bang spot on for everything here.  I'm very interested to see if the trail ends with Sandusky because from what I've heard there are plenty of people elsewhere who were using his organization for sick purposes that make him look like a bit player.

That's a fine opinion, but you have to realize that it's a prescription for permanent political marginalization.  This is so fringe, so ridiculous, that I can't believe anybody takes it seriously, much less declares "bang spot on".  If political alienation to the extreme is the plan, to somehow justify an armed revolt of some sort, that's the only way supporting this makes any sense at all.  And even then, it's barely there intellectually, morally or politically.  Does anybody here think anything less than the homosexual=pedophilia analogy is appeasement to gays/liberals?  If so, the GOP is dead in the house in two years.  You can "mark my words" on that.

She won by a pretty healthy margin.

Recall though, that Corbett won election to AG while Fast Eddie was governor. Maybe part of the dumbass AG-elect's constituency was that oh so sophisticated voter that likes to have "balance" in Harrisburg.

But I do believe the mob wants Corbett's head for allegedly slow-walking the Sandusky investigation. Corbett didn't even get it until 2009 when the Clinton County DA didn't want to touch the hot potato and rolled it to him. I even heard Steve Martorano, a way lib talk show host defend him. The NYT wrote an article describing all the pitfalls and obstacles Corbett had to overcome during the investigation. It really isn't easy to get sex abuse victims to come forward in any scenario, especially when the perp is so close to the legendary JoePa.

Unless Corbett does something to really make a positive mark on this state and its voters in the next two years, I hope Castor primaries him and wins. Because in a media-savvy world, Castor is younger, cuter, and more articulate. (and accomplished, as well).

Once we accept gay marriage, the next effort will be to lower the
age of consent to 14, or to abolish it altogether. Mark my words. The
