If the evidence is solid and verified, post links to the thread. You're undermining your own argument by asking people to email.

Many of us have access to academic literature databases, so even if you just post the authors and titles and we can look them up.

Right now it looks like you're trying to harvest email addresses to spam with deranged fundamentalist muck.

I agree with Sancho. You would have to be very wary about contacting an email address posted by partimeparent.

In fact I am very wary about responding to anything written by the author Warwick Marsh.

He always seems to have his rent-a-crowd bitter male followers and accompanying Christian fundamentalists ranting and raving about what the 'nasty feminists' have done to the world.

No thanks- they will be happy to know I am out of this one.

Among all of the posts criticising Warwick I see not one genuine acknowledgment of the truly epidemic and horrific nature of what is happening in our society. Our obsession with pleasure, especially vicarious sex, is blinding us to the pain and suffering on the other side of the screen.

Some 300,000 children will be sexually exploited this year in the USA - for profit! As posted yesterday, I see far too much of the collateral damage myself in counselling men addicted to this trash.

Though abuse of the innocent has always been with us to some extent, we are now seeing a literal explosion of abuse and exploitation that is unprecedented.

Either prove otherwise, or get out of the debate, because merely slandering those who really do care and want to be part of a solution is effectively stripping yourself of any semblance of humanity.

Rob R,
A lot of people want to talk of solutions and stopping all kinds of abuse but you wont get much assistance from many on this Forum
As long as it is not them it is okay
Society is just grooming the next generation of abusers,drug addicts and drunks
Children were once allowed be children but today they are being taught to be adults while still children
Society has just about made me sick and yet I am supposed to be a low life because I have done time in gaol but half of the ones that condemn me wouldn't last six months on the other side of the wall

Thanks anyway
From Dave

"but you wont get much assistance from many on this Forum " - not when it's about using the abuse of children as an excuse to promote the views of a religion with a long history of sexually abusing children and creating unhealthy views of human sexuality.

If the author and others want to "man up" then they could address that history and be outspoken about change within the church and it's teaching.

Well said, RObert.

The alarm bells go off as soon as one sees the author trying to draw some parallel between pre-war Nazi Germany and the supposed 'moral decline' in Australia today.

The obvious irony is that the Nazi Party rose to power largely based on a platform of morals and good old family values. So let's look at what the Nazis promoted:

"When Adolf Hitler and the Nazis came to power in 1933, Adolf Sellman, a spokesman for the West German Morality League, reported that all filth (i.e., pornography, homosexuality) and trash vanished from the public domain, that prostitution was banished, and that a correct population policy (i.e., racial purity) was established."

"Everything that respectable citizens deemed sexually improper, if not abnormal, and all that conflicted with general average notions of morality could now be punished by a range of penalties, which included imprisonment, internment in a concentration camp, and execution."

"(Hitler) felt that youthful urges toward sex could be overcome by physical education and that the "filth" existing in the theater, art, literature, movies, and press had to be eliminated by censorship and outright repression."

"...the official ideal was one of sexual restraint. Sex education emphasized self-denial, self-control, will power, and discipline."

"One of the more ironic contradictions of the Nazis is that they claimed on their ascendancy to power to be restoring old-fashioned family virtues. Though they did officially eliminate pornography, the total effect of their administration was to establish one of the most obscene regimes in human history."
