Why?

[saasher2012]

Why? If you removed all art because of the artists wrong doings no matter what it was, we wouldn't have much art !.
You are not only punishing the artist but also his dependants who have not done any wrong !!.

i agree with Sam

There is still a chance it was another miscarriage of justice.

[**bustysinclaire**]

Of course there is always the chance he was rightly found guilty.  We won't really ever know will we.

[saasher2012]

Do you actually know the definition of a peadophile?!

[rose2008-2008]

I really dont think there is any doubt he is guilty. They took a long time probably to go over and over the facts to be sure!.

Lambsy...do you actually know the correct spelling of Paedophile?

Anyone know what it means?!

In the era of the internet, you don't even have to be particularly well educated to find THAT out !!

[saasher2012]

Sexual attraction of children!

Maybe if you look in the Oxford dictionary but it is specifically prepubescent children!

[saasher2012]

Yes I did see that! But whatever the definition& spelling doesn't preclude any right minded person from knowing it is oh sooooo wrong!

Absolutely, but to suggest someone with a sexual attraction for post-pubescent children is the same as someone attracted to prepubescent children is also wrong!

If a school teacher had a sexual encounter with a 16 year old pupil they would be guilty of breaking the law that prevents them from taking advatage of a position of responsibility. If the pupil was 15 they would also be guilty of having sex with a minor, but neither of these are acts of paedophilia. However the headlines in the papers and the mobs on the street would be shouting 'Paedophile', because it makes headlines, rouses emotions and people don't know what they're talking about! I get fed-up of such ignorance!

[saasher2012]

I stand corrected! I took my definition from googling , as I said I had actually seen the other in the same definition.
But I also think emotions should run high on both subjects & neither should be tolerated!.

[lambsy_uk]

No neither should be tolerated but I don't believe we should label people so flippantly! People should either get it right or keep schtum in my opinion.
