This is PizzaGate related in that it involves a Arthur C. Clarke ADMITTING to having sex with boys! It's also most egregious that PRINCE CHARLES was about to KNIGHT Clark in a ceremony.

'Paedophile' Arthur C Clarke sparks protests in Lanka
Child right activists in Sri Lanka have expressed shock over science fiction writer Arthur C Clarke's confession in a newspaper interview of a life of paedophilia and called for his deportation just around the time Prince Charles was to knight him.
Clarke, 80, widely regarded as a visionary and author of the celebrated 2001: A Space Odyssey and some 80 other books, was quoted as saying in the interview published in London's Sunday Mirror that having sex with children was all right.
''Once they have reached the age of puberty, it is OK... It doesn't do any harm,'' said Clarke, who has lived in Sri Lanka for 40 years.
"I am trying to think of the youngest boy I have ever had because, of course, you can't tell it here. I think most of the damage comes from the fuss made by hysterical parents afterwards. If the kids don't mind, fair enough,'' he was reported to have said in the interview which was conducted at his house.
''I am amazed why the law has not been enforced as far as Clarke was concerned,'' says Maureen Seneviratne, co-ordinator for a non-governmental organisation called Peace -- Protection of Environment and Children Everywhere.
''Why do we have strong laws in Sri Lanka?'' she asked, noting that such a law had been in place since October 1995 when parliament passed a bill without division on prevention of abuse of children below the age of 16.
She said that a bill replaced a 1983 law, under which abuse of children below the age of 12 was an offence, though the child was equally guilty as the perpetrator. Under the new law, child abuse carries a minimum sentence of seven years imprisonment and a maximum of 20 years. The laws were put in place following a public outcry over paedophilia and child prostitution in Sri Lanka.
Referring to Clarke justifying sex with children who had attained puberty, Seneviratne said even homosexuality was a crime under the country's penal code.
She noted that a German was undergoing prison sentence in the island after being convicted of paedophilia and said, ''It is strange that while some people are sentenced, others are going scot-free.''
She said she intended to take up Clarke's revelations with the presidential task force for the protection of children and inform all concerned, including the police.
She said her group had indeed heard rumours about Clarke's activities, but being a small NGO, her organisation could not take it up as that would be like ''tilting at giants who have written books and been made chancellors of universities.''
''It would have been like signing our own death warrant,'' she said in a reference to the official patronage enjoyed by Clarke, the first foreign celebrity to be given tax-free status on the island. The writer has also been made chancellor of the Meratuwa University in Sri Lanka.
Clarke is to be presented with a knighthood by Prince Charles, who will be the chief guest at Sri Lanka's 50th anniversary of independence on February 4.
Dr Nalin de Silva, a former Colombo university lecturer and an activist of an ultra-Sinhala Buddhist organisation, said he would launch a strong agitation, demanding Clarke's immediate deportation from the country.
''This is child abuse. It is a shame to have him as chancellor of a university. Now it seems Arthur C Clarke not only pioneered the concept of geo-stationary satellites, but also abuse of children. He has not brought recognition to Sri Lanka; he only projected the country to the foreigners as a paradise for paedophiles,'' Dr de Silva said.

But you always say the same thing as Clarke. It's ok if XXX or XXX because I'm really not causing any harm.
Your mere existence is harmful to children, even if you are not acting out on your fantasies. Every single young girl who is ever in your presence picks up on your vibe and her childhood view of the world is diminished. Instead of living in a secure world that she can learn and grow and thrive in she is now living in a world that monsters exist in.
Tell me that this is not true, even though you claim to never diddle can you also say, with a clear conscience, that you have never scared a child... with your mere presence.
Be honest.
Edit: Celibate means never having sex, now I question all of your other claims.

good, they need to grow up in the real world and not a fucking fairy tale. maybe you think it is better to lie to children up until they are 18 and then release them into a world that is nothing like the one you taught them about. but i think that is a shitty thing to do to them.
have i ever scared a child? sure i have, some kids are freaked out by their own shadows. you have almost certainly scared kids too, does that mean you are a monster?
if X doesn't cause any harm, than it is ok. now maybe you think X is disgusting, so maybe it hurts your fee fees. if X is forced on you and you find it disgusting, than it causes harm. if X is done by two other people, and you as an outsider that is not directly involved find it disgusting, well that isn't your business. everything is that way, you can't do any action without some person somewhere in the world thinking you are shit because you did it, if they are aware you did it at all. there are people who are opposed to the idea that you exist at all, same with me, same with everyone.
me and clarke might agree on a lot of things. i don't know the guy, i don't know what he espouses. but if he is saying that something is ok when it doesn't cause harm, well i tend to agree with that sentiment. as for dr. nalin's opinions, i don't respect them. here let me twist her words a little and still be just as valid.
i am honest, even pathologically honest. you might not like the way i see the world, but you can trust that i am giving you an honest opinion.

Our world views part in significant ways when it comes to children. You see, I am a Dad and it is my one and only job to make sure that my kids live in a safe enough enviornment so that they (as children) can learn all of the stuff that will make them both socially adjusted and economically independant when they become adults.
If one of my kids pointed out some freak nearby I will confront the freak. It is my job and the freak will not be happy that he was fingered, Not to worry though, I don't live where you do so please feel free to skeez at all of the children in your neighborhood, I am sure that there are no other Fathers like me out there.

i come from a position of experience that you do not have as well. i am not a father so i cannot see from your view. you obviously have not had both wanted and unwanted sexual contact as a child, i have.
i agree that as a parent that a major part of the purpose of your life is to protect your children. thank you for being a good father. not all children are so lucky. many of them would be better served if they were with me rather than their shit tier parents.
