But thats just a moral decision we make now, just as we have decided homesxuality is OK again... Its a subtle point I'm trying to make about what behavior people hold acceptable..

Ripsnort, is correct. A few years ago he announced he was bisexual.

I can agree to the extent that not too long ago a much older man marrying a 15-17 year-old girl wasn't all that uncommon, or even eye-raising. Similarly, it wasn't more than a few hundered years before that when weddings of 13 or 12-year old girls were commonplace. Of course when you lived to be 30 to 60 years old, and death during childbirth was common, those were more survival-related mores.

I do see a distinction though, a pretty major one, when you start to get below puberty. That applied back then as well.

Although it was common to have a child bride. The marriages weren't usually consumated until the bride was around 15 years old.

One notable exception was John Lackland and his child bride of 12 years old. Most people were pretty disgusted that he would have sex with a 12 year old girl, wife or not.

Ripsnort...I remember Pete coming out of the closet. He claimed he was a woman or some confused thing like that.

Your link to the gay listing was also a bit disturbing...

Hell, we knew that the Indigo girls, Ellen, Boy George was gay but I found a few surprises in there like...

Dave Navarro
Iggy Pop
Ani DeFrance

Dave's getting married to Carmen Electra and I thought that Ani had a husband of many years...confusing.

when child brides were all the rage, wasn't a life span about 50 years?

You were thought to be an old man at 40.

From a biological point of view, you would want the child brides body to deveolpe more, better chance of her and her babies surviving.

Apparently he paid for a child porn site based out of the US with a visa card. The account information was passed on to the authorities.

In 1999 a child porn site run by a couple named Reedy was busted by the feds in Plano I believe . They were convicted and sentenced Mr reedy to life i think. They then pulled the customer lists from what they could recover, judges, lawers politicians etc. etc. Part of that list was sent to Scotland yard where they recovered anouther 1700 names or so. And low and behold one of those credit crd acct no.s belonged to Mr Townsend. And the rest of the story you know.

Maybe he'll write a song about the ordeal...."Pictures Of Billy"

Here's another fella. Caught in UK, then caught again in Cambodia. Can you name him?

Dowding · « **Reply #44 on:** January 16, 2003, 03:47:14 AM »

Gary Glitter... and I certainly don't want to be in his gang.

He got kicked out of Cambodia for child sex charges, but he has now gone back.

Mirge - according to British law, even looking at pictures is equivalent to downloading. This in turn is equivalent to producing the pictures in the first place.
