I was explaining to the missus last night about how Michael Moore got booed when he mentioned the Iraq "war" at the OSCARs when on the same night a man, who was wanted by the authorities because he admitted having sex with a 13 year-old, was cheered and clapped.
And now the same bloke (Roman Polanksi) wants to be allowed to give evidence in a British libel case from France because he's worried that if he comes to England he'll be extradited to the US.

Well you know what the Yanks are like... they will probably charge him with evading the law also, which adds like 4 years to a prision sentence

Right. So you believe a documentary without question? Maybe...maybe the documentary was biased in his favour!!
Or maybe it wasn't. Or maybe you've made a sweeping statement and now you're looking for ways to justify it. Who knows...

So why's he hiding in France and is scared of coming to Britain? If it's the girls fault then he's got no worries about facing the law in the US which he's running from since 1977.
And my original b!tch was about the fact that on one hand he disregards the law by running and hiding from a serious charge but at the same time wants to be allowed to testify on what basically is a comparatively minor thing: a libel case.

You seem to know an awful lot about the whole Polanski thing. Why's that?

So you don't read 'em, but you're happy to bring it up as a subject of outrage?

If you want something to go on about, only today, 5 famous footballers raped a 15 year old. Was in the one of the Tabliods, cant tell you which one because I dont read them, was on the back next to the England Spain Result

Make up your bleedin' mind, d##khead.
So, it was either the girls fault for lying about her age or the parents fault for not locking her in her bedroom, but definitely not the guys fault at all. No way. After all, she [I}said[/I] she was 18 so that makes it okay. Absolutely.

Oh, right, so because she looks older that absolves any guy who sleeps with her of all responsibility?
"But she was asking to be raped because she was wearing a short skirt."

"But she was asking to be raped because she was wearing a short skirt."
So...if most abusers were abused, does that mean we let them get on with it and castigate anyone dumb enough to let their kids anywhere near them? Do we have to go back in time to find the original abuser (maybe it's a bit like looking for the master Vampire a la Lost Boys)?
Personally, I dunno what happened with Polanski. I've seen situations where someone chucked themselves up a young lass and she was obviously a victim. By the same token, I've just as often seen extraordinarily young girls passing themselves off as 18 (it's amazing what push up bra's, advanced make-up application, and beer goggles will do to aid that) in order to...well, live out the fantasy that they're grown ups. And they invariably find they didn't want to grow up quite as quick as they thought.
This could be one, could be the other. But whilst he avoids any semblance of accountability for it, who will know?

Notorious Biggles has proved my point. It was the parents fault for letting their daughter out, plus, now-a-days, only in todays paper a 15 year old girl got a abortion, and is pregnant again. They showed a pic of her in plain clothes, and she does look older than in school uniform.
This is also highlighted as a social problem in Trainspotting, as well as drug problems in scotland.

Yeah but thats just scapegoatism in its purest form.
"I stole a tin of beans, BUT my father once hit me with a belt when I was 7"
It's irrelevent.
So he went through all this sick stuff, poor guy, he has my sympathy. Phycholigically it could desensertise him to violence, perhaps make him an unbalanced person who beats people for things. Perhaps one of those people who enjoys being strangled during sex to heighten the thrill as he maybe associates sex and violence as being to extremes. However to say that seeing all this violence makes him like kiddies is a little strange, no?
I might be wrong, hell I probably am, I haven't studied psychology it's just my sense of logic spilling out.
