We all know it doesn't actually mean pedophilia, but the implication is obvious. Either way, it was pretty funny and I am glad he shared it.

It doesn't really matter what they do or don't mean, anyway. This type of lip service is pretty much the only thing that differentiates DF religions at the moment, so it's not really an issue.

Well, aside from the fact that i didnt hear about any rl empire, which would, ehm `experience children` on daily basis - yes.

Romans or the Greeks. Can't remember which. Maybe both.

Greeks, all the time. Read Hiero the Tyrant by Xenophon. After discussing the problems with women, Hiero straight up asks, (paraphrase) "And what about sex with boys?" Can't remember what Simonides says in response, but I believe he said sex with boys was more positive than sex with women. And that is why the Greeks are fucked up.

I think the samurai also had a formal institution for it (called shudo), but I'm not sure if that involved any actual children.

That was probably because the Greeks were so chauvinistic that they thought women were beneath their attention except when absolutely necessary.


Yeah they were not right in the head.

Not that it's any better, but you're mistaking Pedophilia with  Pederasty.   Also it was only allowed to be non-penetrative.   If there was penetration involved it was wrong,  Yes the Greeks were fucked up.

Don't forget the Ottoman Empire. Also, depending on what you considered commonplace and an empire, there are many pedophiles that currently live and work as priests in the Catholic church, hence the recent scandal in Ireland.

Edit:

Derailing may not have been my original intention, I am sorry. I just thought I needed to make that point.

Please don't turn this into that kind of thread. I know it's fun to derail into that direction and get yourself popcorn...
