Wilhelm, I can never use the Holocaust as an analogy.

you don't have to - i did. and would again. the key here is the word, "analogy." i didn't use it as an "example." i used it as an analogy.

You went off on a tear about something completely different.

not really. the "terror" i went off on was to illustrate how people are mislead - and we use media that appeals to children to further spread those ideals & get them entrenched early.

the nazi's did this. i think you & others might be getting hung up on the details of the holocaust, understandably. but if you can get past that & consider that my point is not to compare the two - but to illustrate the analogous relationship. both situations display a very methodical, systematic conditioning of behavior.

i talk about the USA because that's where i live. sex trade goes on everywhere - but i try not to talk about things with which i'm not very familiar. and living in another country & experiencing that culture is something i've not done.

so i confine my criticisms to the US. and i have to say, they're well deserved. i love this country & wouldn't choose any other to make my home.

but the fact that we will pay so much to do such blatantly abusive things to children is convicting.

And for the record, its physically impossible to constantly surgically re-create the hymen in a female.

i'm not sure what your intention is here. do you doubt that this goes on? it's an easy fact to validate. i'm not making it up.

but i would think that understanding it to be true - and seeing the relationship between this phenomenon & a porn-soaked culture would make it more difficult to tolerate, much less ignore, the epidemic of pornography in our society.

it is every bit as ugly, to me, as is the harsh reality of the holocaust - and is born of the same dark tendencies of the human condition.
