The ability to be able to draw cartoons or landscapes with some talent does not lessen a paedophile's crimes.

I have no doubt there are some good artists amongst the criminals in our jails, just as there are out in the wider community.

I don't consider what Harris did to children as young as seven a 'moral flaw'.
I consider it a sexual deviant crime worthy of long jail time.

Runner, why bring your religious rubbish into every thread on this site?
It becomes very boring...

Suseonline,
I totally agree. Just like I agree that child sex tourists should be charged on their return to Australia notwitstanding them being Australian.

<< It is a feeling of betrayal and the portaying of himself as a really friendly and outgoing personality. It appears from reports that it was all a big front. >>

I don’t think so Bazz. I think it was his genuine personality. It was the good side of his character.

<< It is the public disappointment that is so widespread and felt equally amongst all and is so intense that there is no alternative but to wipe his presence away. >>

There is a very real alternative – to realise that this sort of behaviour, as bad as it is, is human nature, is prevalent throughout history, and is much worse in many places around the world, with no come-back on the perpetrators.

And to realise that his life achievements are really very good, and should be cherished…. and that all of this stuff should absolutely NOT be wiped away because of the bad side of his character.

There should be no equivocation here. Adults having sex with children destroys their very concept of self. Children should be allowed their brief time of innocence and care free exploration without some adult pervert destroying their lives.

Rot in your own hell of perversion Rolf Harris, since you have destroyed many lives because of your sick weakness. Rolf had the money to entertain his wildest fantasies with prostitutes, yet preyed on our most vulnerable.

I think that we need worry no more about Harris's d'ouevre.

Dear individual,

You wrote;

No you most certainly do not.

You thought the English and Australian girls Harris assaulted “just led him on until they realised money could be made by stitching a bloke up.” You saw him as a victim to conniving under aged girls and feminists.

It then follows that you must really think the child prostitutes in Asia are just leading our Aussie blokes on to get at their money and they are the dinky di victims not the girls.

Dear fungus,

I am with you on Polanski. Can't stand to watch his films either and the fact that actors like Winslet and Foster still work with him after what he did is a sad reflection on them.
