Young soldiers have been sometimes necessary and sometimes shamelessly used by the many numbers for the aims and interests of the few, the powerful. It has been the same with child labor both slave and free. And accordingly the sexual use (misuse, abuse of children. I'm not defending the or a Beatle(s) but the unhappy truth is most likely they were mere products of their environment. Even before fame, drugs, the culture of the times. They seem to have been in working class, knocking around without mothers <br />situations. Child sexual misuse happens in all times and strata but in the said environment it happens more pervasively. No this is not a defense but an absolute criticism. And in every time and place more should be done to curtail this crime and it should always be criminal. <br />And now here were are in this modern "enlightened" age and the state is insistent to supply ever younger children contraceptives and abortive methods which can allow more sexual abuse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-27388390561824744172013-07-26T12:02:57.857-07:002013-07-26T12:02:57.857-07:00Childhood wasn't as long as it is now.

Once upon a time, people who are now considered children, fought wars, led armies, ran companies and explored the world. <br /><br />I think the response to these kinds of monsters varied with the times. The prevailing "wisdom" of the 50s and 60s was tainted by this notion that we were nothing more than animals with deterministic drives and that complicated how sexual interactions were perceived. Of course, not everyone was so moved and there were problems when the Beatles came to Minnesota and were basically accused of statutory rape by police officials. One of the band member's pathetic response was filled with self-justification and priggish libertinism.<br /><br />Tancredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015531337154301560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-585428317458172262013-07-26T11:26:23.271-07:002013-07-26T11:26:23.271-07:00Oh yes.

Are they really too busy worrying over the Muslim question and hunting Nazis? And beings continuously extorted by the E.U. and the Eternal Reparations Committee. What even is the age of consent to be violated in Germany? Why are these known child abusers not in jail much less having seats in the bundestag? Does all this speak to a shamed society, a shameful society? Both. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
