I really wish Trudeau had the balls to tell King Charles that if he wants his face on Canadian money and our continued involvement under the crown, then he has to stop sheltering his pedophile brother and let him be extradited to the US. I had always leaned towards getting rid of the monarchy in the past, but now that the brother of the King is such a despicable human being it shouldn't even be a question now. Just look at the controversies section on his Wiki, even beyond him being a rapist he's a grade A twat

You know I was thinking about it more in the form of a 'Sponsorship' kind of relationship.

Yeah, we'll put your Monarch's face on our money and his name on our buildings and such, but we're no longer paying to do it. Every dime will be invoiced and billed to Buckingham Palace or 10 Downing.

Oh. And if he or his family do anything to diminish or otherwise devalue the brand we will be invoicing or suing for damages.

Lookin' at you Andrew...

I haven’t followed this thing closely, but are there credible allegations that he had sex with pre-pubescent children? Or are we using the newly-minted QAnon definition where sex with a minor = pedophilia?

Sex with a minor is a bad thing - immoral and in most cases illegal. But it’s not pedophilia, and was not called pedophilia by anyone until very recently, when conspiracy theorists started warning of pedophile rings everywhere.

If sex with a minor = pedophilia then three-quarters of the people in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are pedophiles. Do you really think that’s true?

If you're f****** stolen children who are caught up in an international, pedophilic black-mail scheme. You're a pedophile and your mom deserves to go to hell.

Is it really though?

We popped down to London’s Covent Garden to have a word with the queuers outside Sony’s PS4 pop-up store, The Sony Lounge. Armed with tents, sleeping bags and plenty of gloves, this line was started on Monday to brave the five days of cold until the Sony PlayStation 4 goes on sale this Friday 29 November.

Cliff “Nazis did some good things” Fletcher strikes again with another scoring hot, necessary take.

Frankly I don't mind lumping him in as a pedophile. So I'll continue to call him one, especially because he aided and abetted the trafficking of young girls. Not sure why he felt the need to bring it up in this case though.

But I do think there is a difference being attracted to a 16 or 17 year old who looks like an adult, and a pre-pubescent child.

And Cliff is right about rock and roll. KISS even has a song - Christine Sixteen. It's disturbing.

[Enoch Root]

The definition of pedophilia is sex with a child, typically meaning pre-pubescent.

Sex with a minor typically means a 15-17 year old, and - physically at least - 15-17 year old girls are young women.

Still wrong, but very, very different than sex with a pre-pubescent. CF was simply asking which of those things took place?

Not to mention, in many places (Canada and the UK included) the age of consent is 16. So not only is it not pedophilia to have sex with a 16-17 year old, but it's not even illegal in much of the world.

Based on the allegations (at least the ones I'm aware of), Prince Andrew is a rapist and was involved in sex trafficking. Those are horrific crimes on their own; people don't need to juice it up by calling him a pedophile for having sex with a 17 year old (which is the main allegation I'm aware of).

Well the big difference is that Prince Andrew was having sex with unwilling teenagers as part of a sex trafficking ring. If '70s rock 'n' rollers were raping teenagers, then they deserve just as much blowback as Prince Andrew.

I think a good general rule is don't #### kids and don't try to get super fine on the description on what a kid is. If it takes more than a second to clarify whether or not it's legal and moral, then that's a kid.

I must have missed this part.

The Nazis did kill Hitler, so there's that.

And it's just as gross that grown-men are salivating over 17 year-olds and can't wait for them to turn 18. Like the only thing preventing them from being dirt bags is the law.
