• 16. Honestly, coming and posting at THIS SITE makes you the worst kind of hypocrite, since this site has TONS of posts objectifying the female body.

• 17. I don't believe in the death penalty because I do not believe that it is any person's place to place judgment on an individual's right to life, no matter how terrible a person they are. I am not against jail time or punishment or anything like that, but I simply don't think we should be killing people. Especially when people on death row continue to be exonerated with evidence found later. And since men jerk off to pictures of actresses in swimsuits I personally don't see how that is that different. I realize wearing bikinis to a school function is inappropriate, but because it is accepted at the beach, the concept of showing that much of yourself IS acceptable to you, just not in certain situations. And I PERSONALLY have been the victim of sexual violence just for your high and mighty information. And I believe that you are letting men off easy if you say that it is what we wear that causes them to attack innocent women.

• 18. I would like you to cite ONE time when I said that I condoned rapists and pedophiles.

• 19. If the Taliban or any group or country enacts the death penalty for child rape, clearly they hold children to a higher regard than you or the pedophiles/rapist you are working so hard to defend. There is a huge difference between wearing a bikini to a public beach or wearing one to your child's school function, grocery shopping, the library, etc. Likewise, there is a huge difference between an actress or model wearing lingerie/swimwear and posing for pictures & someone encouraging lecherous men to look at, grope, fondle or in anyway see young girls in school uniforms as sexually enticing. These women may be of age but they are certainly portraying minors in school uniforms. That sickens ALOT of people, esp. those hurt by violence.

• 20. If you or your son or daughter were raped as a 7 year old child, you just might condone the death penalty then Most intelligent people above the age of 22, who have lived long enough to value more in life than how to party like there is no tomorrow, esp. the ones who have lost loved ones to violent, sexual predators, understand fully how women dressing as young, underage school girls to entice men in a sexual manner is not to be upheld, condoned & encouraged in a moral society.

• 21. Also, person who uses bitchy phrases instead of any identifiable name. Please explain to me how this sentence that you said: "If you or any of these females or any loved one, had the terrible misfortune to encounter an enraged man who, after numerous hours of "innocent, clean, fun" in a strip joint, or club where young girls, particularly those who decide to dress as even younger school girls, in outfits resembling school uniforms, you just might see things differently," is not in opposition to THIS sentence "Nor is it your fault, my fault or any scantily dressed females fault whenever a rape occurs."

• 22. To don't judge: THANK YOU, that was my entire point. THIS IS NOT THAT BIG A DEAL. People's ignorance on the other hand, is.

• 23. And really...is there a difference between wearing a bikini on the beach or in public? Are posting on all the posts about actresses in skimpy bikinis about how THEY'RE whores? They're certainly scantily clad. They certainly know they're being photographed. That seems right up your "Attention Whore" alley. And my ILK? Who exactly would that be? Upstanding empathic people who realize that not every book can be judged by its cover alone? Because I'd certainly rather be that then a person who is going to decide what they think of me from one photo.

• 24. If you don't think pedophilia is a disease then there is no point in talking to you because you don't accept scientific fact. Those people are compelled to be sexually aroused by children and it is a psychological disorder. Does that make it right? No. Does that mean I condone their behavior? No. Does that mean they could choose not to molest children? To an extent, if they are very dedicated. But what it DOES mean is that they can't help being attracted and aroused by it. And FOR THE RECORD, I never said I thought it was good clean fun. It is obviously a little raunchy. Nor would I do it MYSELF. I just refuse, and I say REFUSE, to make qualitative judgments about a person's worth based on a photograph. And a photograph where nothing is HAPPENING for that matter. And good GOD, did you REALLY just say we should enact Taliban laws in our country? Seriously? I am against the death penalty completely, for any crime, and those laws are oppressive of women and women's rights.

• 25. CONT. He was a very nice host and wasnt flirting with any of the waitresses. He's always super nice when he hosts paties. Its crazy how you guys took it to stds, strippers, no dads and being molested as a child when it was nothing but inocent pictures that lasted less than 2 mins. Its funny cause if you read the comments without seeing the pics, you would be expecting something completely different.

• 26. Wow. I cant believe how far you guys take these comments about a pic of girls you dont know in a situation you know nothing about. Let me fill you in... This pic is taken at BODY ENGLISH nightclub. (NOT a strip club) Its a Sunday party called "sunday school" where all the cocktail waitresses dress like school girls. This paticular night was hosted by Mr. Belding. He went on stage and thanked eveyone for coming and then had a few of the waitresses take pictures with him. Some still and some dancing. Look closely. There is no touching in bad areas and his "crotch" isnt "rubbing" against her butt. Look at the girls faces. Sexual... nope. Theye cracking up, having fun.

• 27. If an adult woman wants to dress like a school girl or a prostitute to please her man, well THAT is between consenting adults, IN PRIVATE. This behavior is displayed in public, done for profit & the images were put forth in a public forum, & I, as well as numerous others, deem it very ugly behavior indeed. You & others of your ilk, choose to condone, accept & approve of it. We differ. I for one am very grateful my that my social upbringing & class allow me to see this type of degrading behavior, as well as pornography & prostitution, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT INVOLVES MINORS OR THOSE STRIVING SO HARD TO APPEAR AS MINORS, for what they truly are. I dont feel any of those are, ok or good clean safe fun. You do. Enough said.

• 28. No one is saying we should wear burkas, but if you walk the street dressed in a bikini dont be suprised if you attract negative attention. Save that for the beach. There is a difference between what is appropriate & what is not. It might be ok for these girls to trip the stripper pole fantastic BUT call it what it is. Dont try to clean it up & call it anything decent.

  Posted at 3:45PM on 31st 2008 by no wonder the morals of this country are in such a state!!!!

• 29. I never said anyone deserved to be raped or molested simply by the way they were dressed, or acted. Nor is it your fault, my fault or any scantily dressed females fault whenever a rape occurs. Never once did I say that. I am merely trying to point out that SOMETIMES violent men feel encouraged or enticed to act out their urges. never once did I say that was right or justified, just saying it might have some bearing, esp. if it occurs over & over & over again. Perhaps SOME of the Talibans laws should be implented here - if their laws rule that someone, anyone, who rapes, maims or molest children, should suffer the death penalty, that would do wonders in this country. I disagree wholeheartedly with your "pedophilia is a disease" concept. Cancer, Alzhiemers, Lou Gehrigs, diabetes are diseases, While acting out the urge to sexually molest children is certainly "sick" behavior but it is not a disease.

• 30. And you can take your blessings, morals, and obviously right wing Christian propaganda and shove it towards someone who wants it. I will make my own path in spite of every person like you who judges others without getting to know them.
