Disney cruise ship staffers among 28 arrested
in massive child porn operation

I worked at DisneyOnline for about a year. It was a liberal looney bin. I didn't dare let it be known what my onions were. Everyone on the left felt completely comfortable spewing their malarky. This was long before Trump. I can only imagine what it's like now. I doubt I would last one day in that environment now.

my onions???? how about "my opinions"? Freudian slip

DIsney and Disney Land/World has always been about children. So.....the pedophiles flock to Disney, like they flock to teaching jobs. Anything to get them close to children.

FTA: “After boarding the vessels and interviewing 26 suspected crew members from the Philippines, one suspected crew member from Portugal, and one from Indonesia, officers confirmed all subjects were involved in either the receipt, possession, transportation, distribution, or viewing of CSEM or child pornography,” the CBP spokesperson said.

Many years ago I had a co-worker from the PI print out child porn on the office printers. He was, or course, fired, but he really didn't see anything wrong with it.

If it were up to me, I'd shut Disney down. I did go to Disney World back in the early '70's. My brother in law had worked on the electrical stuff there while it was being built. I had the time of my life. They couldn't pay me to go again. I will not support what Disney has become.

I agree with #3. I have always been somewhat suspicious of adults who seek situations that put them close to children not their own. Teachers, youth ministers, scout masters, daycare workers, etc. I could be wrong, but I kinda doubt it.

You are dead on, #7. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, coaching little kids when you don't have kids playing, Catholic Priests. All are areas of opportunity if their wiring is faulty and many organizations have been disgraced. Disney is okay with their sickness.

#2 Made sense to me. Yikes! Curious what an online Disney job entailed.

The Boy Scouts had old men hanging on for years after the kids moved on. Very creepy.

I'm with #3, 7, 8 .... Between 1966 and 1970, I was in a Boy Scout troop associated with our (Presbyterian) church. We had an outstanding group of boys who advanced to the rank of Eagle Scout at ten times the national rate, and, almost to a person, became successful in later life. The only scouters (adult Scouts) we associated with at meetings, on campouts, and at two weeks of Scout camp during summer, were all fathers of boys in our troop. In other words, they were completely reliable. The softening of the national organization to participation by homosexual scouters, one gigantic immoral leap, was the death knell for scouting. Can it be undone? Sixty years ago, scouting helped me to grow up and to be responsible, to live up to the twelve bullet points of the Scout Law. It was time well spent with exceptional people all around. Our adults were all properly motivated. They were our dads, our greatest protectors. (When Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon's surface in July 1969, I was with 35,000 other Scouts in the Idaho panhandle, watching on closed circuit television at Farragut State Park's natural bowl. We all had white candles which we lit and held aloft. What an awesome sight for patriots to see. We were so proud of our astronauts.)

To the Left in this country, the only "real" pedophile is Donald Trump, but not their sacred immigrants from third world crap-hole countries.

This story not only doesn't surprise me but the fact that it doesn't angers me, but that's my bailiwick with which to deal. To #11 above, your post - especially the end - made me cry. The ending is absolutely beautiful, it made me cry. But your overall post highlights how much we really have lost as a nation, a community, so sad.

Well... I'm sure this is nothing but "political persecution"... right, Merrick? Holder? Obama?

Child abuse on a cruise ship ? HMMM After the trials, would keel hauling the abusers be appropriate ??? Just a thought. If you don't know what keel hauling was, look it up. Something you wouldn't wish on anyone !

#11 - On that wonderful night in 1969 I, too, was at Scout camp on Catalina Island. I was part of a small group, about six of us, who began sitting in front of the TV brought into the dining hall for that occasion right after breakfast. We wanted good seats, and it was only a small portable that belonged to staff house. We took turns throughout the day "saving" our prime location. I'll never forget that night. We were just a few hundred girls, without candles, but we gathered on the beach and sang our National Anthem. I also agree with your main point, Scouting used to be lead by the fathers and mothers from among the troop. The exploitation of children happened, but it was not as widespread as today...and no where near as "acceptable" as in our current "progressive" society. I had great experiences in Scouting, but the organizations were long ago hallowed out by "progressive" infiltrators.

FTA - "“After boarding the vessels and interviewing 26 suspected crew members from the Philippines, one suspected crew member from Portugal, and one from Indonesia, officers confirmed all subjects were involved in either the receipt, possession, transportation, distribution, or viewing of CSEM or child pornography,”" As we see, the moral decay worsens. I put my years into scouting, too, and continued into what was known as the Explorers which came after Boy Scouting. Other posters provided thoughtful comments as to what has happened to boy and girl scouting over the years and why. So, I won't try to rehash. But I will say this from my own life's experience (I'm 73) - proper child upbringing and moral grounding in the 1940s,1950s and 1960s was a priority for post-world war families. The ones who fought in the war all saw the worst in humanity during WWII. After the war, strengthening moral behavior and beliefs within the family unit were top on the list. The family unit was strong and intact. Our educators knew how their bread was buttered as post-WWII fighters. Most kids my age seemed well-grounded. There was very high appreciation for being an American. We recited the Pledge of Allegiance at school every morning at the beginning of the school day. Then in the late 1960s and 1970s a major transformation in America occurred. The college student protests. The Vietnam War protests. The terror organizations. The Walter Cronkite propaganda. The msm cancer had metastasized. Hanoi Jane's treason. Woodstock. Morality and belief in God, Our Heavenly Father and Creator, became a four-letter word. And the porn industry became well-established even though it preceded the internet. Today, in my neck of the woods in western Colorado, boy/girl scouting much less visible. Parents have other priorities for their children like youth sports. And the decreasing quality of public education is enough of a worry as it is. And then there is social media that controls what people think about and when. SM has made the evils of porn and sex trafficking all too available to anyone at the expense of our young people and their spirituality. Can America, "one nation under God", be restored? Of course it can. God is waiting. Humanity holds the cards.
