Apparently building plans are being changed because of fear of paedophiles these days:

Should we live oue lives just because paedophile might be around?
Maybe we should make driving past schools illegal. Or maybe we should just build big walls around our schools and houses.

This ridiculousness has got to stop. We should not be making town planning or building policies on what a paedophile may or may not do.

We are living in a crazy society. Are class photographs still taken?

If I really wanted to perv on children, I'm not going to see much from 8 storeys.

The greatest threat to your children are probably the people you trust.

We are in danger of becoming a segregated society where children are kept away from all adults, very much like Muslim countries seperate their men and women.

I expect in 20 years time we are going to see results of the so called child protection the last 10 years has provided, and I believe a lot of what we are doing is giving children no protection whatsoever.

More madness. I suppose paedophiles in Brisbane only live in apartments above the fifth floor?

Don't you just love moral panics?

The decision does look ridiculous when you consider how it is legal for the perverted porn industry to feed the minds of every potential deviant on the planet.

If we are not sickened by this story we should be.
The PC driven idiots behind this, some are from my party, are a real threat to our wellbeing.
Gaol, real sentences every offender but leave us alone.
Next to me live 3 great little kids, all boys 3 to 6 years old, I fall over when they kill me with a stick gun.
Say gday as they chant gday Belly every time I walk into the yard.
Fill their shirts with fruit in season.
Each says some times + I love you Belly+
I walk away,see I love them too but you can not tell some ones kids that.
Give us a cuddle Belly nearly makes me run.
How would you like to be a male teacher?
Lets target offenders and the PC fools who are a real danger to us all.

CJ Morgan: "Don't you just love moral panics?"

I wouldn't of cared until this one. But for some reason, this one has got to me. I will be going to the first political rally I have ever attended tomorrow. Given the weather, I expect to be either washed away or stewed like a prune - probably both, and either way will have to put up with hours of boring pollies yabber on.

These people should be held up to ridicule. Honestly. What other response can there be to: "Help, help! Someone is looking at my child!", other than "Lady, get a grip." One would of thought knocking a few storeys off an apartment block during a dire housing shortage would be right out, yet apparently this Amanda Cooper thinks there is votes in it.

Hopefully this particular wave of panic is about to crest. People are getting hurt by it now.
