    I’m just gonna say it: at some point, a person becomes a serious threat and needs to be isolated from society forever. That point is waaaaaaay before molesting 71 children. If you slap someone on the wrists too many times, their hands just go numb.

        I can’t say that I agree with many Floridian laws but this is one I could get behind. To put it mildly, what a pos.

    So, 6 months jail time for permanently traumatizing a single child? “Think of the children” indeed!

          If you think that’s bad, here’s the joke I was going to post but thought it was in bad taste:

          The priest wasn’t interested in converting to Islam, he had his 72 virgins already.

    Less than a year per child? That’s not enough.

      Why was he even allowed access to the 72nd one? Isn’t there some point where we decide this isn’t going to stop?

    Muslims have to wait until after death to get their 72 virgins. Christians get them in this life. Which religion is superior I ask you?

      Obviously no religion. They all are useless in my books.

      No one should need some “ancient texts” to tell them how to not be a piece of human garbage.

      Christianity and Islam are probably the two major ones who have caused the most death out of any.

      Just be a good person.
