(29,346 posts)"From your posts, you are very concerned about E. and perhaps others, not being called or labelled pedophiles. Only that they commit sexual acts with underage females against the victim's will like E. did, a convicted sex offender. "
I'm not concerned about Epstein, who is apparently a serial rapist and a human trafficker, if the allegations are true. That's enough for me to be outraged. I don't need him to also be a pedophile. I do think the term should be used correctly. I think victims of both pedophile predators and non pedophile predators deserve that.
"It's like trying to insist that a person who broke into car is not and can't be called a thief, or a burglar; or that a heroin addict is not and cannot be called an illegal drug user or a junkie. "
It's nothing like that. A person who breaks into a car fits the definition of a thief. A person who is a heroin addict fits the definition of an illegal drug user.
"he example I gave of Clinton's well known and well worn BS is the familiar attempt to obscure, re-label and minimize the true action, verbally and legally. To call it something else, other than a spade is a spade."
Sorry, but I have no idea what you mean by this or why it's relevant. Are you saying Clinton is a pedophile too?
