Would you a molest a child to save its life?

You'll soon find that most people find that entertaining the hypothetical of raping a child to save them to be so far out of the realm of good taste that they won't touch it with any length of pole.
I dunno, I think "most people" are a bit dim. If we limited ourselves to what "most people" find acceptable, we would live very sad lives.

Unfortunately, many people do actually pretend to live like this, and then end up being revealed to be pedophiles.

Anybody who is as mad as BrawlMan is about the existence of this topic probably has some skeletons in their closet.

Or maybe they're just people from the facebook era of the internet where they don't know that you can be anonymous on the internet, so they're afraid to live a little. "Good taste" is something you think about when you're worried what other people think of you. Someone on a first date might not order BBQ ribs and eat with their fingers because they want to impress the other person. They might instead order something that can keep them neat and clean. They're putting on appearances. They're wearing a mask. They'd much rather order the food they enjoy, but they need to keep up a fake personality so that the other person will like them.

And then the people who complain about this thread being in "bad taste" switch over to PornHub and watch hardcore pornography, and forget all about how virtuous they pretended to be.

Hey, I got more people to visit the site than Arnox did.

Also, I love that you can just pull that image up at any time and make it look like I was just now looking at that thread. Makes me laugh every time.

Xprimentyl mentioned the site and brought up Houseman. The thread derailed pretty hard from there, Arnox ain't helping

There are free forum hosts out there. Nothin stopping him from setting one up and inviting all to it

Loses some charm knowing all can be edited

It's a matter of having a sense of good taste.
Here's the thing Bluegate, the analogy is trying to make a point, and while you're right that it's in bad taste, you're completely sidestepping the question it tries to pose. That's OK if you think the analogy is bad, but then why wouldn't you try to explain what you find disagreeable, or how it doesn't really analogize the original concept. There's no content in your reply. It's the same as "That's a stupid question" and then elaborating no further.
