    None of those say it is good. I disagree with him, he also disagrees with him and apologized for saying that. But that is very different from saying its good. I don’t think alcohol is good, I also don’t think it should be illegal.

      Huh?

      He said it’s a shame that paedophilia is outlawed and that it was narrow-mindedness that made it so.

      He said it’s untrue that having sex with children harms them.

      And yeah, he later apologised and said he doesn’t believe it anymore… 2 days after his job became on the line.

      Ask yourself this:

      A man has been publicly championing raping children for decades. Publicly. He firmly believes he should have the right to fuck children.

      News media hears about this, and now his job seems untenable.

      All of a sudden, the man claimed changed his mind, that he’s completely reversed his opinion (that he held for decades and publicly shouted to the world). In just 2 days, he’s gone from thinking it’s a tragedy that you can’t fuck children, to thinking fucking a child is bad.

      Do you believe him? Or do you think he’s just saying anything he can to try to keep his job?

      I don’t think alcohol is good, I also don’t think it should be illegal.

      There’s a big difference between “it’s unfortunate that adults can’t fuck children, it really should be legalised. People against fucking toddlers are just bigots” and “well I don’t like alcohol, but I think it should be legal”

      How you just equated raping a child and drinking a glass of wine is beyond me. Wow.
