Ah! Is it yours? rug May 2016 #4

took me a minute to see it, but EvilAL May 2016 #5

Well that's just creepy as fuck... truebrit71 May 2016 #6

If you want to see creepy, check out English public schools. rug May 2016 #7

But there's not as many of those, thankfully... truebrit71 May 2016 #8

Ah, "mild pedophilia" as Dawkins called it. rug May 2016 #9

No, not really. truebrit71 May 2016 #10

I see nothing in this thread about pedophilia other than what you brought up. rug May 2016 #11

Actually, you brought it up specifically.... truebrit71 May 2016 #12

Actually I didn't. rug May 2016 #13

Sorry ruggles old bean, but you are the one that brought it up... truebrit71 May 2016 #14

. . . . which you immediately equate with pedophilia. rug May 2016 #15

Because they have a history of molesting kids...You're aware of that, right? truebrit71 May 2016 #16

And that is its entire history, right? rug May 2016 #17

Oh goodness no, it's entire history has even more unsavory aspects to it.. truebrit71 May 2016 #18

I doubt you know its history given you reglar slanted and uniformed comments. rug May 2016 #19

Nice try, but you were the one that dId that. truebrit71 May 2016 #20

This entire subthread is a deflection by you from an amusing First Communion picture. rug May 2016 #22

That's the SOP. Defend and deflect. No matter what. cleanhippie May 2016 #24

Yup, typical behavior. truebrit71 May 2016 #25

Unfortunely, it's only because of the "amnesty" that we have to deal with it. cleanhippie May 2016 #37

Typical cleanhippie SOP. Snipe from behind a tree. rug May 2016 #27

What's that on your face? cleanhippie May 2016 #38

What's thatcoming out of your mouth? rug May 2016 #43

Well, there's a picture of a Catholic priest bvf May 2016 #21

Well there's another ignorant statement. rug May 2016 #23

Taste may be the accident, but it's flesh nonetheless. bvf May 2016 #28

Those pictures are usually taken before their First Communion. rug May 2016 #29

How is pointing out the cannibalism bvf May 2016 #30

You're showing your ignorance - and your mindset - again. rug May 2016 #31

Oh, I know exactly what it is. bvf May 2016 #32

Then it's the latter. rug May 2016 #33

Tsk, tsk. bvf May 2016 #45

As was your inevitable hide... truebrit71 Jun 2016 #48

Yep, lean on an absurdity long enough bvf May 2016 #42

When I hear of someone getting a shot, inoculation not indoctrination comes to mind. cleanhippie May 2016 #39

Hilarious! stone space May 2016 #26

It took me a while. stone space May 2016 #34

I was wondering about him too. rug May 2016 #35

I can see myself doing something like that at that age. stone space May 2016 #36

Given the environment, he knows where his hands will provide the most protection. cleanhippie May 2016 #41
