Wrong! What about the presidency? The occupation currently has a 100% sex offender rate.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 67 points 3 days ago

You can only say that because he was found liable for sexual assault through the unanimous decision of an impartial jury in a court of law.

Not just sex offenders, pedophiles. Currently 100% of sitting us presidents are on the epstein list

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

At least 4.26% of sitting presidents were/are pedophiles. That number is likely much higher, sadly!

IIRC pedophilia does not seem to be that much more frequent inside the Catholic Church than outside of it.

The problem the church has is the whole coverup operation every time a priest gets caught diddling a kid.

I found pastors at number 3, behind teachers and music teachers.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

oh man so the music teacher when I was in school married his former student. the band trip had a rule of no sex following someone getting caught in a previous year's trip, but the rumour is that it was his fault the rule existed and that they were fucking when she was still a student and during the band trip. Also his son with his previous wife was in the class where we gossiped about this shit. He was also really handsy with the students even on regular days. He retired a year or two after I graduated.

His replacement, I would hear some additional years later, got caught in the act with a student not long after his first child was born.

Ours was the health teacher. It was an open secret that he put the hot girls right up front even though he made it very clear that seating was random. He also enjoyed sex ed topics way too much. I don't think he ever got caught, but he was very weird.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

that reminds me, ours too only the teacher was a woman that would do the same but with all the popular 'cute boys'. She even offered to demo how to put condoms on some of them... She was considered the #2 rank in teachers you wanted to bang according to the male students that were vocal about that kind of shit

We had a Cajun teacher that claimed to have magic hands and would hover over girls shoulders, and comment on their feet. Real creep, but to my knowledge never went as far as touching.

Republican politicians, not just congress

Says a lot about priorities in America.

Catholic Priests have entered the chat...

birds of a feather, they go to where it is accetable to be SA/ or pedophile, and thats The right wing, because thats the only way that can shore up thier political base with numbers, if they all disavowed pedos and rapist, thier party will be non-existent.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 2 days ago

It's the one way to ensure loyalty. If you have compromat on your senators, they are very unlikely to oppose you.

[–] lukaro@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

I didn’t fact check this but I somehow know it’s true. Second lace are youth ministers.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

The repedocan party

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Has it always been like this, out just since the child rapist was voted in again?

If democracy is by the people, of the people, for the people; and if people deserve the government they elect, what does that say about the people?

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

It's fun to rag on USians, but their "democracy" hasn't been by or for the people for a long time. An exhaustive 2014 study by Princeton academics found that

"Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence."

Gerrymandering and the deluge of money in politics has allowed Congress to just ignore the people.

[–] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 days ago

I’d think Republican senators would be a better answer. Fewer of them, and they tend to have been in power much longer. The percentage of pedophiles has to be staggering.

[–] DeusUmbra@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I thought it would be cops, but I bet they are a close second.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

They’re more into wife beating.
