Thinker, I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't understand sexmy's comment. The first sentence seems to me to contradict itself. If all FGs are guilty of all crimes committed against children in TF because of the "collective" nature of those crimes, then how does that "collective" nature allow FGs to "slink away"? I don't get it.
Were all Germans guilty of the crimes committed by the Nazis? No. Maybe it's only that sense of collective guilt that sezmy is thinking about. Personally, I think there is a spectrum of guilt, from the completely innocent to the completely guilty, and that you can not paint everyone with the same brush. Having said that, it is understandable if someone who was abused by an FG thinks all FGs were the same.
