[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are VERY naive if you don't think there are widespread pediphilia rings amongst the elites in DC, Hollywood, Palm Beach, NYC...[/quote]

You are sick.  Pedophilia is very very rare.[/quote]

Talk to someone in law enforcement.  It is not rare.   That doesn't mean I think Podesta was running a ring--but, don't deceive yourself into thinking it is not a serious problem.

I'm sure Comet is blameless here (although it probably would've been wiser not to publicly post any photos of taped-down toddlers in your restaurant), but pedophilia really is a serious problem that is more widespread than many think. And oftentimes people just don't want to believe how pervasive it is because it's such a reprehensible crime. So you get people turning a blind eye when there are indications of abuse, especially if the alleged abuser is someone thought to be upstanding or powerful or prominent in the community. This happened with Sandusky and Savile, and consequently many more kids were abused when their abuse could have been prevented. The abuse in those cases went on for literally decades.

Some of the people "investigating" pizzagate are probably aware of the tendency to sweep these crimes under the rug, and that might be partly what's motivating them to be so dogged here. A lot of them are probably actually well meaning, and maybe someone of them are taking this to such irrational extremes because they themselves were victims of abuse growing up. [/quote]

Wow, no.  The Comet fiasco is entirely due to the scourge of fake news and people creating/promoting it for political reasons.  It has nothing at all to do with legitimate work against child abuse. FFS, in the Sandusky case people *literally saw with their own eyes* him raping children and did nothing.  That has absolutely zero overlap with what is happening here:  a bizarre, possibly politically  motivated, internet-mediated conspiracy theory with the foreseeable result of triggering a likely mentally unstable person towards violence.

I'm curious if you get extra points every time you work the trendy new term "fake news" into a post.[/quote]

What would you like us to call it so that you don't have to retreat to a safe space?  [/quote]
