And once again you attack *me*...

Bit over the top *attack* being a bit emotional there.

"Thy're obviously not very intelligent". You would "imagine". You assume.
Once again you mistake opinion for fact.

No, I don't know them personally, but I think it is a safe assumption.
Quote:
Rubbish!
Appealing to emotion *distracts* from the relevant issues being discussed. It is the sort of tactic used by Tabloid Newspapers and people losing arguments.

Rubbish yourself.
Highlighting the emotional impact of an issue can help bring more people in to discuss the relevant issues, thereby making for a healthier debate.
"losing argumets" don't flatter yourself.
Yes it is....

Yes, the Sarah Payne case is a tragedy, I don't deny it. But to claim it as *representative* is a mistake
|
I was not making it representative of all paedophiles you have jumped to that conlusion yourself. I was merely highlighting it as scenario that can,has and could happen.

A child is *MUCH* more likely to be knocked down by a car or be injured or killed in a household accident,

I've never heard of a Ford Capri raping a child??
Quote:

because cases like Sarah Payne get the big media coverage, because it taps into an emotional fear, people lose sight of the *real* dangers in this world and, instead, focus on tragic, but *rare* cases instead.
|
Just because a child is more likely to be killed by a car/whatever does not detract from the argument and is quite quite frankly a very weak point.

There is no evidence to support or deny that maybe, were I to meet you in person, I wouldn't haul off and try to punch your lights out. That is *also* the uncertainly of human nature.

I know who my money would be on.

However the legal system in this country *does* rely on *evidence*...!

And I don't dispute that. The shame is that before you have the "evidence" that a Paedophile is a re-offender a child must either be raped or killed.
Not a good state of affairs when once when he was caught the first time he was off the streets and a danger to no-one.
