1. i thought sexual orientation was genetic
observer ,   australia   (11.02.10)
or is it?
2. One sick animal
Shmuel ,   Billings USA   (11.02.10)
enjoying the abuse of children...repent Israel and Jewish brethren or face judgement
3. This dude needs severe watching so nothing worse
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.02.10)
can happen. Pedophiles do not seem to respond well to incarceration or therapy, their problem is so ingrained that they can never really be trusted again, only monitored very closely so they don't re-offend.
4.  45 whole days?
JJohnson ,   Turks & Caicos   (11.02.10)
That'll will totally ruin a few weekends. BUMMER!
5. Not my view, but just a question
Raoul ,   NZ   (11.02.10)
How is it 14 years old girls boasting on New Zealand television having slept with over 20 partners under the influence of alcohol and one gets 45 days for watching them? Answers please - no attacks as I am not interested in children.
6. Shame!
A Jerudalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.02.10)
Plea bargain? For aiding the producers of child pornography by paying them for that dirt? This is a criminal action and should be treated as such, not as a weekend spa visit! Did the children that suffered to make those videos get weekends off?
7. No. 2 Shmuel
NYC Girl   (11.02.10)
What the hell does Israel have to do with it? A Canadian Jew is arrested and every Jew is supposed to repent? Frankly, you don't exactly sound like the poster boy for mental health either.
8. These schnorrers are leaders of nobody except
Al   (11.02.10)
for being heads of schnorrer organizations. They were elected by no one. I wasn't asked to vote for them neither were 380K other Canadian Jews. Stop referring to these moochers as 'leaders'.
9. #5 one sickness does not justify another
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (11.02.10)
The perv wasn't even watching 14-year-olds which you're talking about, but pre-pubescent girls, meaning under 12. That is rather sick. His punishment is deserved for creating demand for such videos, and thus supporting this vile business, meaning more young girls would be exploited. As for what you said about those girls on NZ television, it's indeed an indication of a very sick society... But at least it appears that they have a choice on the matter, and they willfully choose to be sluts...
10. #8 - You don't get it
observer   (11.02.10)
People like him are declared leaders by a media that considers itself an opinion-leader. It's all a game. There are political leaders, opinion leaders and communal leaders. You and I just happen to have to follow them because they have their hands on the purse-strings (and often in the purse as well)
11. 45 days to be served on weekends?
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (11.02.10)
WTF! The 45 days is bad enough for that kind of crime, but to be served at his leisure? Speaking of serving, I am sure the taxpayers will be taking care of the additional costs of his kosher meals, as he will not be eating the standard prison grub.
12. Dorothy#11
Sean ,   Montreal, Quebec   (11.02.10)
Bad news dear, it gets worse. Due to overcrowding in the prison system he may arrive on a Friday evening sign in and be told he can go home. Given his age, religious and political affiliations it is not only possible, but probable.
13. Adding Muslims to the watch list
Chad ,   Dallas US   (11.02.10)
I guess it goes without saying that Mohammed if he were alive today would be added to a sex offenders list. Also if he were a model today to any Muslim they would be following his footsteps and be on the same list he would. Oh wait that still happens doesn't it.
14. its early in the thread, but
i ,   jerusalem   (11.02.10)
I would bet that no one will answer #1's challenge. I am also wary of folks that automatically this guy is a full blown ( pardon the pun) pedophile. One can reach plenty of unsavory stuff with a few keystrokes, is that criminal activity? I don't see people calling for heads to roll when public servant goes public with his/her gay lifestyle which includes involvement with minors. I have also yet to see a bishop indicted for being an adjunct to child molestation. Let some honesty enter the public square.
