Fox hunting?

(Quote from Splinter) Point 1. Our Ancestors also used to rape young girls, murder and eat other human beings do we carry on with these acts? No we apply a moral code to the acts and as a society legislate against them.

I don't think that's a very good example- from what I've seen, quite a lot of people are offended. And did our ancestors really rape young girls? I always thought the humans were attracted to others of roughly the same age. And what your basically saying is, all our ancestors are paedophiles.

Well it is. It was common and still is in many Middle Eastern countries for middle aged men to be married off to young girls. The Islamic prophet Muhammad was married to a 9 year old. Paedophilia is something invented by our society. It effectively comes quite naturally to us but as a society we have stamped it out due to the inhumanity of it.
