'Stranger Danger' is *beep*


Watch Penn and Teller's Stranger Danger. When I was a kid, in the 80s, I had friends of all ages (from old people down the street, to married couples next door) and I *beep* hate how there's a double standard of the male versus female in here. Just because it's a. a man, b. single, c. gay, and d. enjoys the delightful company of children, doesn't make him a pedophile. If I was accused of being a pedophile, I'd *beep* punch someone. THIS IS AS BAD AS CALLING SOMEONE A RAPIST WITHOUT PROOF. You don't just ACCUSE someone of something when there's no REAL signs. Being single, male, gay, or liking kids is NOT A VALID *beep* REASON for calling someone a suspected pedophile. Those are not 'signs'. Because again, if it was a woman who was single, gay, and enjoyed children- no one would care. No one would think twice. This movie brings to light the rampant homophobia, stranger danger, and sexism that many parents have in the back of their mind but never actually confront.

And don't give me that *beep* of 'it's a different world we live in' because all statistics show that is FALSE. The world is much safer, secure, and worthy of TRUST than it ever was in the past. Crime is lower (including rape and pedophilia) than it EVER has been in history and YOU are the moronic sheep that listens to the media. Good news doesn't make for numbers; bad news calls for a firestorm of attention. As I, and many others have said, STRANGER DANGER IS *beep*

Kudos to this brave gay actor and writer in bringing to light a powerful, little-talked-about subject that impacts our world and social norms in an emotionally charged way. This film shows our biases and that innocence is not lost. Perhaps the main character makes a few bad decisions, but he never did anything inappropriate that ACTUALLY was REALLY inappropriate, such as asking sexual questions, touching a child inappropriately, or asking them to take off their clothings. And again, if you still think there's something 'wrong' or 'creepy', then THAT IS ON YOU. The world is only as INNOCENT as you ALLOW it to be.

Lastly, to that dumb *beep* *beep* who keeps posting (sign654 or whatever), and is obviously a homophobic moron, your child is going to grow up so sheltered and socially retarded that once they hit college, they are either going to be so dependent upon you that they cannot function in the real world or are going to have some major issues, because of your mentally-hysterical projections.
