Kevin Spacey

Again, we don't know. That said, it is not a false equivalence. It is the exact same issue. Pedophilia.

Quoting numbers is meaningless for the reason I mentioned. Two of the groups hide the perverts from justice. The public school system tosses the perverts to the justice system. So while you may HEAR more about the public school offenders... that doesn't mean there are more of them.

A few media reports have indicated that sexual abuse by teachers in public schools utterly dwarfs the problem of priestly abuse, in a system where dismissing a teacher is exceedingly difficult. In New York City, for example, public school teachers are ten times more likely to abuse children than are Catholic priests. Teachers, Boy Scout leaders, foster parents, counselors, and physicians all have higher rates of child abuse than do Catholic priests.

LOL... if the abuses are hidden... how would you or they know? and again... WHO CARES which group has the highest number? It is ALL THE SAME... pedophilia. It is horrid whether the 'number' is 1 or 1,000,000

You don't think those other groups hid shit?

I stated I do think a lot was hidden. The point is... ALL pedophilia is bad. I don't care what group it is. It is also not a false equivalency to point to examples of pedophilia when discussing a pedophile like Spacey.
 
No surprise that you like to bash Catholics whenever possible. Tell me, which has more problems with pedophilia, the Catholic Church, or the public school system?

The catholic church appears to have less of a problem because of the systematic ways they hide their queer child molestors under the cloak of Jesus...
 
Corey Feldman talked about pedophilia in Hollywood and how he and Corey Haim were a victim. I wonder if Kevin Spacey was a contributor with either of them

It's false equivalency when you ignore the statistics and attempt to change the subject by bashing on another group unrelated to the discussion.

1) you don't know the 'statistics' of Hollywood or the Catholic Church because like the rest of us, you don't know the extent of the cover ups

2) Again... talking about pedophilia in a thread about pedophilia is not a false equivalency.
 
I saw one comment, Hollywood is the new Catholic Church! I’m so sad, I really liked Spacey’s work, this will be it for him, a House Of Cards.

Notice how Rana said it was the new Catholic church... that is perfectly relevant. Both groups hid pedophiles. It is an apples to apples comparison. Then YOU brought up the public school system. While the public school system pedophilia is just as bad, you are the one that brings up the false equivalency in that the public school system isn't trying to hide the pedophiles like the other two groups.

Covering up crimes is what all criminals try to do. The fact that some focus on one group with fewer known cases rather than other groups with more is false equivalency.

So by your logic if I claim that Hollyweird is the new public school system, that would be perfectly relevant.

Again, and do try to keep up, Hollywood and the Catholic Church tried to cover up the pedophilia within their groups. That is what makes them an accurate comparison. The public school system has been prosecuting the pedophiles via the justice system.

You may want to keep up yourself:
[Article date 2010]Since 2007, over 2,000 separate sexual abuse cases have been filed against U. S. public school employees. This takes into account the relatively small number of cases dismissed outright, dismissed under plea agreement or changed to other charges upon conviction, but does not include the many others that get swept under the rug, covered-up, or never reported at all, according to records kept by the website BadBadTeacher.com.

Just started binging on that one. Really good show (at least so far).

Spacey is a great actor. This kind of news is always a bummer; one of those things that completely changes the way you view someone.

You don't like him now because he's gay?
 
It's a false equivalence because of the numbers. Tell me, which has more problems with pedophilia, the Catholic Church, Hollyweird, or the public school system?

Then why not use the date?? Catholic church had a problem w/ this for hundreds, if not thousands of years, American public or even private, not so long.:dunno:
