I was taking pictures at a show near Scunthorpe the other week. Nobody seemed to bother me there despite me taking pictures of all the children playing on the bouncy castle.

stupid!!, thats what it is, the whole country has gone bloody daft!!

My son was in the newspaper for his school, did they ask permission off me to put it in?....no, but then again you do fill out a form at the begining of term mentioning giving permission for that sort of thing

Id be more concerned if they where playing in the park and some fella/woman was taking pictures who were not there with ANY kids

No shame at all. I'd do the same thing again. If a serious injury was resulting then of course I'd do something, but I'd never approach a child in the street nowadays. It just isn't worth it, and I work with young people on a daily basis.

spot on granny, how the hell have we got to this position? its a deep question, one i reckon the folk with common sense will have some inkling, the do-gooders n P.C. brigade will be clueless.

Going a little overboard over there aren't we .... sure there are pervs out there, but the vast majority of men do not belong in that category .... but it does seem to be a common trend to condemn the whole group for the actions of a small minority ....

danny27 · 16-07-2008, 14:32

Its beyond the Joke!!! What is the world coming to where you cant take pics of your OWN kids.
"Daddy, take a pic of me standing next to goofy!"
"Sorry son, i might get called a perv or something"

Its a disgrace!

A little girl was lost and sobbing in Superdrug the other week. She had lost her mum and was only a toddler. Mum was just in the next aisle. I took the little girls hand and we headed off to find mum.

I know I was doing the right thing and had the right intentions. Must admit, it did cross my mind to keep my nose out.

It's seems like it is hard for a man to defend himself against allegations of perversion .... what does a guy do? Wear a t-shirt saying "I'm Not A Pervert." Or "I'm Not a Rascist," or anything like that ... When half of your country's population is placed on the defensive, because of the actions of a relatively small number of individuals something has gone wrong. And this at a time that kids in the developed countries have never had it so good .... they are not sent down the mines, or up flues any more .... they are not sold into slavery or brothels like they still are in some countries. I realize that there probably is a group who believe and act on the belief, that all men are potential perverts. The stupidity of it .... all men are potential cello players too.

I'm just wondering if perverts are born or do they become perverts due to certain influences in their early lives .... simply: are perverts born or made, or is it a little of both?
