</div></div>Could we please talk about numbers?<br></blockquote><div><br>You can if you want, but it's utterly irrelevant to the moral position. Allowing one child to be abused here is simply wrong, and openness to involvement in that is also simply wrong.<br>

You can't justify your own disgusting approach by saying "ah well, there are times people are even worse than I am'. Would you regard the killer of one child as OK, given that someone down the street had just killed two? If not, then you should be able to see how irrelevant talking about numbers is: if something is wrong, it's wrong.<br>
