    I do think it's far fetched. To me it's clear that allowing adults to make these choices is a far cry from allowing adults to make these choices about children and vice versa, but based on your argument that is because I am a product of my time. Other than Ancient Greece, is there any civilized society that we know did not frown upon pedophilia?
    As far as I know of no society has ever approved of pedophilia. Pederasty was and is more common than you think...

    Edit: My larger point was that once a people becomes uprooted and alienated from its traditions (i.e. as the hyper-individualism of modernity continues apace) what was once unthinkable becomes increasingly possile. That's the pattern.

    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    You cannot make the same argument with pedophilia or rape for that matter.

    ...come to think of it, one time anal sex was thought to be rape, but not anymore, some people dig it...
