You used to be cool, now you're being a dick.
No, not really.
But, I am getting rather tired of the old 'paedo behind
every bush' furphy, and the way we blokes seem to be
automatically deemed to be paedos by some sections
of the media and a largely ignorant section of the community.
You must admit that the media stirs this hysteria up on a regular
basis, simply to get ratings, and because they know that the
general public are stupid enough to swallow it whole.

the fact that you even have to make that disclaimer pretty much proves your point.
Child sex offenders get punished appropriately and sometimes overly-severely. There is one teacher on trial at the moment for 'inappropriate touching'. He touched a boys KNEE.
This is what you get when you let hysteria have its way.
