Dutch paedophiles want consent cut to 12

Dutch paedophiles are launching a political party to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations from 16 to 12 and the legalisation of child pornography and sex with animals.

The Charity, Freedom and Diversity (NVD) party said on its web site it would be registered officially on Wednesday, proclaiming: "We are going to shake The Hague awake!"

The party said it wanted to cut the legal age for sexual relations to 12 and eventually scrap the limit altogether.

"A ban just makes children curious," Ad van den Berg, one of the party's founders, told the Algemeen Dagblad (AD) newspaper.

"We want to make paedophilia the subject of discussion," he said.

He said it had been a taboo since the 1996 Marc Dutroux child abuse scandal in neighbouring Belgium.

"We have been hushed up. The only way is through parliament," van den Berg said.

The Netherlands already has liberal policies on soft drugs, prostitution, and gay marriage, but the NVD is unlikely to win much support, the AD quoted experts as saying.

"They make out as if they want more rights for children. But their position that children should be allowed sexual contact from age 12 is of course just in their own interest," anti-paedophile campaigner Ireen van Engelen told the daily.

The party said private possession of child pornography should be allowed although it favours banning the trade of such materials. The broadcast of pornography should be allowed on daytime television, with only violent pornography limited to the late evening, according to the party.

Toddlers should be given sex education and youths aged 16 and up should be allowed to appear in pornographic films and prostitute themselves. Sex with animals should be allowed although abuse of animals should remain illegal, the NVD said.

The party also said everybody should be allowed to go naked in public.

The party's programme also includes ideas for other areas of public policy including legalising all soft and hard drugs and free train travel for all.

I especially love the "free train travel for all" part That's their catch to get the non-pedophiles vote for them!

Neat.

Questions arise:
Is that article serious?
Does a political party like that exist?
If it does it's the duty of the Dutch people to react and show their disgust.

And why do they discuss gay marriage in the same sentence as liberal drug policies and prostitution?

[UPtimist]

It is absolutely true.

They were supposed to register the party today for what I know.

So who were our Dutch representatives here again?

Well, pedo's have rights too I suppose.

Why not? They would allow younger people to vote.

And free train rides!!!

Which I'm not saying I'm interested in, but you know...

Wait, you probably don't. Well, move along.

What's wrong with bestiality?

And free train rides!

And child porn and underaged-smoking and drinking?

[Sage]

Huh?!?

[Jelena]

Let me just tell you briefly:
I once worked at a school where one of the co-workers had molested his own daughter and her friend. He got caught, but never really understood that what he did was wrong. After having spoken with him as he phoned the school to arrange a meeting for him to collect his things we understood what a disturbed person he was.
He was also an active parent in one of the sport clubs of our town.

Being a mom and a teacher I just can't make jokes about pedophiles.

[UPtimist]

OK, sorry...

But this is for real.

For starters, it's icky and un-hygenic. It also takes advantage of our furry friends.

That bit's not so bad.

Because those things are WRONG! If an adult chooses to do those things that's fine, but some decisions should be left to individuals who have achieved, if not a certain level of maturity, at least a certain number of years spent alive on this planet.
Granted at 13 I would have felt quite differently about the subject, but I myself was immature in my thinking then.
As a friend of mine once said "For my parents to have been so stupid when I was 17, they sure had learned a lot by the time I was 21".

Has Gary Glitter just moved to Holland or something?

Scott, you did realize I was joking, right?

Around here, one never knows for sure.

[UPtimist]

Well, I can help you out a bit: I'm 98% of the time not serious
