Most people have wondered how censors can watch so much horrible, degrading stuff without be affected by it, especially the stuff that's so bad that ordinary people need to be protected from ever seeing it.

In what might be the first of its kind, a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is claiming damages for the Post-traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) he is suffering after years of exposure to child pornography.

Const. Michael Wardrope says he was exposed to disturbing videos, photographs, interviews and interrogations as a member of the child abuse and sexual offence unit in Surrey, B.C.

"His mental health was impacted by unescapable images and memories from the files he had worked on," says the lawsuit filed in B.C. Supreme Court.

Wardrope says in the court document he was "flattered" when he was recruited to the unit in 2009. But he says he told his bosses he had three young children, had to commute hours per day and didn't think viewing child porn would be healthy.

He alleges his supervisor assured him that overtime was uncommon and that the amount of child pornography that needed to be viewed was "very minimal and almost non-existent," as the work was, for the most part, interviewing children.

Eventually Wardrope suffered a mental breakdown, and the Mounties dragged their feet for ten months before transferring him to another unit.

    So here's a question for you: Assuming you actually believe all this shit you keep spouting... are you aware of just how tiny and how reviled a minority you are?
    Your views are probably shared by less than one in a million people in the country you live in. The vast majority of pedophiles understand that their urges are unhealthy, and at least attempt to keep a lid on them. The ones like you who actually embrace it and seek to justify it are incredibly rare. Those willing to go a step further and campaign to legalise/ institutionalise it are so rare as to be practically non-existent. In this world of ours you are practically alone.

    My point is this: Given that there are, like, a few hundred of you at most prepared to fight for this "cause" of yours, and given that your God doesn't appear to be actually helping you in anyway at all, can't you see that it is a completely lost cause? You are never going to get what you want. Not going to happen. You can wish for it as hard as you want but not in a dozen generations will public attitudes shift so much that your wishes will ever be realised.

    What I'm getting to is... Give up. Just... give up. You aren't going to win. Nobody cares, nobody is going to be swayed by your "arguments". You are wasting your time. Buy a playstation and do something more rewarding with your time.

    Dammit, those lame troll posts were modded into oblivion where they belonged. The discussion got back on track as was doing good until you and another poster fell for the bait.

      Well, we've been ignoring and downmodding him for how long? A year? Two? And he still hasn't gone away. I'm inclined to believe he's not a troll looking to cause a commotion (I mean he's hardly going to divide us into "for" and "against" camps of his agenda, is he?) but someone who is genuinely convinced of what he is writing. Granted, he clings to it so fervently that my words are unlikely to shake him, but... well... I see nothing to lose in trying.

        You entice others to follow a ruler/judge/God other than that of D__teronomy. It is commanded that you be killed on the spot.
        If this was followed feminism, women's rights, anti-marry-female children ideas would not rule over all the earth.
        If this was reinstated, you would all be slaughtered and your child daughters would be ours: and your adult rebellious whore daughters who tried to fight for feminism would be executed.

        Just as Moses' men did.

        I hope there is a nuclear war that burns you and those who think as you do and enforce the global woman's culture alive.

            D_e_u_teronomy is censored on this website. You can't post if your post includes it.

            Which suggests the site owners should be killed in some cruel manner for being heritics.

        We seem to have a lot of those around lately, eh? Something about the site seems to be drawing them in, making this place more and more toxic by the day.

    It wasn't so long ago that men could marry girls:

      >In the United States, as late as the 1880s most States set the minimum age at 10-12, (in Delaware it was 7 in 1895).[8] Inspired by the "Maiden Tribute" female reformers in the US initiated their own campaign[9] which petitioned legislators to raise the legal minimum age to at least 16, with the ultimate goal to raise the age to 18. The campaign was successful, with almost all states raising the minimum age to 16-18 years by 1920.

    What happened? Cunts (women) gained political power.

    D__teronomy gives the solution: kill those who entice one to follow another ruler/judge/God than that of D__teronomy.

    No begging women to vote for it. The only solution is to remove them any any man who is a good boy and supports them from power. By any means.

    Women and their good men will never give up power peacefully.
    The God of D__teronomy gives the correct instructions for dealing with them and you.
