Wow can't believe we finally get to ask you questions point blank. This case comes up a lot on Reddit, so I figured it would be higher up.

What do you think with regards to the culture of pedophilia in the 1970s?

I've read all your answers but there's something missing from all this. Having seen the doc, "Wanted and Desired," I can't help but wonder how the culture of the 1970s could ever condone underage sex. No matter how freethinking, creative, or liberal minded someone is, there's got to be something fundamentally broken about a person who has sex with underage strangers for fun.

I understand that Polanski suffered a major blow to the brain with the death of his wife and in his time in a concentration camp, but I can't help but feel, given subsequent interviews after the case on video and in magazines, that in his heart of hearts he really doesn't think he's done anything wrong. It's almost like he doesn't give a shit but won't come out and say it. Even his friends in the documentary have a cavalier, callous attitude about his "shenanigans" in the 1970s with girls, calling him a "teacher" for all those underage girls.

I'm all for forgiveness if it means a person is moving towards the light, but there are countless and disturbing stories of Hollywood stars sleeping around (Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson, to name a few), their lifestyles, etc. You can't tell me they don't know what they're doing is wrong, that it's all for creativity.

Some of the attitudes from the 1970s just don't add up: it's almost as if his friends at the Oscars would give him a standing ovation even if the court treated him fairly, even if he'd served jail time, because fundamentally they just don't see anything wrong with underage sex. Of course Harrison Ford and Jack Nicholson would never come out and say this. Nicholson would instead hit on Jennifer Lawrence, saying, "You look just like one of my former girlfriends, only much younger."

Genuine remorse?

Yeah but these people haven't changed to this day. I guess I would have to ask them directly because you, as you said, wouldn't know.

Hey dude I'm a guy and will openly admit you're FAR from unattractive. Girls are shallow, but then again people are shallow. You'll find that people our age will grow up soon. I wouldn't want to date someone who was so shallow someone's cancer could override how attractive someone like you is.
