I imply that American guys in Colombia are "all" paedophiles....

Mr Podrowski writes (and I'm trying hard not to role my eyes here).

[Carita writes ] some mumbo jumbo about having relative economic advantage or objectifying women or having certain 'motivations' that she knows about even though no one else seems to. For having accused (insinuated, implied) that folks here are committing serious crimes or the 'equivalent', I'd say it sounds like you don't get much hate mail at all.

Still on about the are we? Again, and again and again, I didn't accuse or imply anything of the sort. If I think that you are committing a serious crime, I will call interpol. People who commit serious crimes shouldn't approached by members of the public - on or off line. The proper course of action is to call the cops. Isn't that right?

At no point, ever, did I say, or imply, that any PBH member was a paedophile. What I said was that the practice of coming down to Colombia to seduce local women was a form of sex tourism, along with other forms of sex tourism, (such as paedophilia, and that if you wanted to be thought of as a good man, you shouldn't keep bad company. Obviously, in spite of having been told this many times by men, and several times by moderators at PBH Mr. Podrowski likes to repeat this ad nauseum - but its preferable for him to persist in this stupid, deliberate misrepresentation than to engage in proper debate.

As for mumbo jumbo: is he going to call into question the serious, neutral academic studies in the fields of anthropology, law and international development, the concerns of numerous independent NGOs such as Oxfam, Christian Aid, etc, Interpol, and even the Catholic Church. I'd like to say I was the first to point out this obvious, so frigging obvious, problem, but several thousand lawyers, scholars, international organisations, faith-based groups and government departments already got there before me.

Mr Podrowski likes discussing political economy too - I am surprised that he came up with that, from a man who said that Prostitution (a different thing, of course) was purely economics. Of course its about compartive advantage, or you don't know your David Riccardo and Adam Smith. As for objectifying women, I submit to you, sir, that men have being objectifying women since Adam first saw Eve and said "Stand back, darling, I don't know how big this thing gets".
