| The whole underage thing is very controversial and as an anthropologist minor Ive learned about societies where it is the norm. So in other words I am a little more forgiving of such things happening (though I understand some of the posters here who are parents not seeing things this way). The two problems I have with the Polanski situation is that 1) it was apparently forced and 2) he ran away. Now, Im going to bring out my inner freak a bit and say that when I was a kid (and Im talking well underage) I used to fantasize about having my attractive female teachers kidnap me and "teach me about the mystery and the muscle of love". Of course on that same token, I dont think I could have sex with a prepubescent underage girl no matter how badly she may be begging me to. I like women, not girls, lol. Of course a lil foot worship doesnt hurt, hahahaha.
