Since you refuse to even state what qualifications you have in even a general manner everyone will quite rightly assume you don't have any. Certainly Enid Bloch (a PHD who teaches Greek Philosophy and Ancient History) is qualified to recognize that what your hero and his homosexual pedophile friends were doing to the young Greek boys of their day was child abuse. You can and will call me every name in the book but it won't change the fact that these child abusers are your heros.

"Solon, Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, etc. were the young Greek boys of their day! There is no mention in their writings or any other of their contemporaries that there was any child abuse against them or toward them."

Of course the journal published scholarly article by Enid Bloch titled Sex between Men and Boys in Classical Greece: Was It Education for Citizenship or Child Abuse?
points out just such evidence from the writings of Plato, Socrates and Solon. That's why you immediately attacked her character as well as her qualifications and even made fun of her appearance. Surely a weak and desperate attempt on your part to deny the obvious. Namely that grown men using young boys as sexual objects was then and still is CHILD ABUSE!
