    Your rationalization sounds like the same rationalization that pedophiles and child molesters use to convince themselves that what they do is OK.

    Man: Would you sleep with me for $1,000,000?
    Woman: Yes
    Man: Would you sleep with me for $50
    Woman: No, what do you think I am, a w****?
    Man: We already established that, now we are just negotiating the price.

    I never considered a boy who has reached puberty willingly having sex with a female teacher (especially a hot one) molestation. I consider that awesome.

    I wasn't going to reply, but now I am.

    You've clearly never been molested. If you had been you would know that there is no amount of money that ever makes it go away. It haunts you for life. It makes future sexual encounters awkward for you, even with your wife. Recovering from molestation as a child is incredibly difficult, and that is when you have fantastic parenting. God help the people who have to try to recover mentally and socially with crappy or absent parents.

    I'd take the $20 million, and I have a kid. I don't trust the legal system enough to put him away. Then again I might keep the civil and criminal parts completely seperate. Then maybe you get justice, and financial security for your family.

    Would I have let my son be alone with Michael Jackson for $20 million? Not for more than 10 seconds.

    the ONLY way i take the 20 million is if im a liar and say someone molested my kid, but really didnt....or there's little or no evidence.

    I definitely understand this post. If the question is

    "Would you take the $20 million because you are fearful there will be no justice?"

    Probably.

    That isn't what's being posed by the OP though. His core position is molestation isn't a big deal at all and that it's a good business decision to have your child molested in order to get the money.

    You people must have wonderful childhood then. But not all children in the world are as carefree. If you ask the kids in Vietnam who sleep on the streets, they definitely would not mind letting someone feel on them for that huge chunk of money. Some things are only so important if you make it so. If you think of as someone touching your body is just that, then it would not be such a big deal.

    There was a time when a woman's virginity was her most important treasure.
    Why now, that they sleep with guys they are dating? (Not all) Are they sluts now?

    Like I said, there are women in Asia who are now selling their virginity for only a few thousand dollars. Are they low class? Or are they too poor?

    You guys are blowing things way out of proportion.

    Are you speaking from experience? Do you know that, when I was growing up in Vietnam, it was normal for older men to play with kids' penises? To them, it's just like kissing on the cheek. NOTHING sexual at all. I have never heard of any such thing as molestation until I got to U.S.

    Different societies have different values. Just like traditional Vietnamese think girls these days are sluts for sleeping around before marriage.

    Neither side is right or wrong.

    Simple question.

    Assume you (and by you, I mean Tree-Mac) had a 4 year old son and were in desperate need of money. Would you (and by you, I mean Tree-Mac) allow your son to be fondled by a suspected pedophile in exchange for $20,000,000?

    Yes or no?

    In that situation I take him to both criminal and civil. He might as well have to pay for my child to go to whatever college, see whatever psychologists, and rot in prison to protect other children.

    Part of the problem in the question of $20million or jail is that the damage to your own kid is already done. The money actually has more benefit to your family than sending him to jail, but it would benefit other families more. Neither is going to cause what happened to go away. Neither is actually going to make me happy.

    I think if it came down to it, I'd take the money. I'm just not sure I would let him live long enough to pay me. I don't think I could control my rage enough no to at the very least severly injure the guy.

    Exactly. You probably thinkn playing as in jacking off the kid right? But I'm talking about flicking the penis. Hey, I had mine flicked on as a kid by some neighbors. It's just their way of expressing affection. These people worried about having food to eat more than anything else, so no time to think to deep into these things.


    Just like traditional Vietnamese, probably Asians too, they think girls who sleep around pre marriage is abnormal and low class.

    Different societies have different views. You people are criticizing me because you know this will never happen to you.

    But can you honestly say that you would not take the millions if someone really did molest your kid? Honestly?

    Dude...seriously??

    STFU already.

    I won't even reply to your RIDICULOUS ideas on how okay molestation is as long as you make a buck off of it, because it's "not as bad" as rape.

    What I will say - and I say this on behalf of any decent human being with morals in this country or any other - is that I desperately hope that you soon have a vasectomy or else expose your genital area to high doses of radiation as soon as possible.

    Quite honestly - some of the things you've said here are scary enough that if you had children, you might prompt some parents to call the authorities or CPS to have you investigated as soon as possible. I've seen people investigated for much MUCH less, and seen children taken from their homes for much less.

    No matter how "free" you think your speech is, sir - there are ramifications for every opinion.

    So don't get on here and pontificate on how poor countries are or how poor you were or what country you lived in, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

    Right is right. Don't tell me that I just don't understand. Don't tell me that because I find you to be truly disgusting human trash that I'm wrong because I just don't get you or I don't get people in more dire straits than I.

    I've been dirt poor, sir. But I would never - REPEAT - NEVER... think of allowing some dirtball to touch one of my children, of which I have three, the way you're describing if it would net me 20 million dollars, 20 billion dollars, or a hundred times as much.

    I'd rather be licking dried three times eaten and regurgitated food off the side of a TRUCK STOP TOILET - than sacrifice my child, their mental well being whether POTENTIAL or REAL.... for a chance to live in a mansion.

    Truth be told, and call me WHATEVER you want, immature, whatever.... but if I even heard the words come out of someone's mouth that they would do this, it would take every last ounce of my strength to prevent me from strangling you to death right on the spot, because of the total reaction of revulsion that would overwhelm me that someone with an opinion like that existed and could possibly enact such a plan using one of his own future children.

    So again - FAVOR - PLEASE -

    SHUT.THE.****.UP

    You'll find no one who agrees with you here.
