Pride event features a toddler on a stripper pole

No matter what the thread subject is about, there always seems to be a Rule 5 violation via something about Trump.

And if you’re implying something sinister with Trump and those kids, we have tons of pics of Biden sniffing, groping and pinching the beasts of kids.

 

What is you issue with this pic?

 

We have been sexualizing children for half a century. All of a sudden, it’s an issue. SMH.

 

You going to pretend no one raised issues with these beauty contest and minors?

Also the "we've been doing something for x amount of time so its ok" is a terrible argument. Applying your logic we would still have slavery.

to abe Lincoln "we've had slavery for hundreds of years, now its a problem?"

 

It took you quite a while, to say that you can't justify your charge, either. Just two points, as I can't be sure you realize them:
1) there is nothing "exclusively sexual," about what the woman & child pictured, are doing; I had already made that clear, by moving the exact same activity, to a jungle gym, on the beach. Clearly you cannot refute that, and nor did FreshAir.

2) FreshAir's perspective, to whose argument you are hitching your own, is that anyplace that he considers to have an "atmosphere" with sex in the Air (so to speak), or where is being held an event of a "sexualized nature," is automatically off-limits to children (so it has nothing really to do with the pole, per se). I do not disagree with that general idea, except I think it is too general, so winds up being arbitrarily based on stereotypical conceptions one has, which may have varying amounts of factual bases.

Have I lost you, SiNNik? I'll simplify it to the word "pre-judices," purposely hyphenated, to stress that the two of you ascribe to leaving decisions as to what is or isn't appropriate, for a child, to your own biases, which may not be well-founded, in fact. This method, I should stress, would implicitly work, in both directions. That is, it goes without saying that the person who prejudges something as "bad," without ever investigating, for himself-- because he already knows it's a bad vibe, to be around, of course-- will almost certainly do the same thing, when it comes to assuming that other events are "good," clean, wholesome, etc. And, those presumptions can also be, utterly mistaken. Sexuality, after all, exists throughout human society, making its way, as by osmosis, into things as seemingly innocent as cartoons.

Lastly, I will add, and I know many will find this shocking, that sexuality is neither, in & of itself, a wholely bad, nor an automatically inappropriate thing, for children to catch even a whiff of. Should a father abstain from kissing his wife on the lips, or sensually resting his hand on her (clothed) hip, or caressing her bare shoulder, just because the kids are around? To "shelter" children from seeing acts of affection-- which nonetheless do have a sexual element to them-- will only deprive those kids, from learning what it looks like to care for someone else, and to display that, through behavior.

Therefore, I advocate open minded vigilance.

 

Well, I don’t disagree, really. I’ve been rallying against subjecting kids to sexual behavior since that poor Ramsey girl. There has never been any real outrage against the behavior.

I am against ALL indoctrination of children. I was raised white, racist, homophobe, republican Catholic. I resent all that BS,now. Give kids the information and let them decide. Bible camp is indoctrination too.

 

We? You mean liberals. From Hollywood to Biden to the people who want to lower the age of consent, the left has always been attracted to little kids.

 

Do you have a source that suggest these beauty pageant moms are mostly liberal? Republicans, in general, are more interested in physical beauty. The libs on this forum tend to not post pictures of unattractive Republican women, however, the reverse is completely the other way around.

 

If anyone wants evidence that the Fringe elements of the left are attempting to normalize pedophilia, just look at the new phrase they came up with....MAP ..... Minor attracted person.

Trying to make it sugar coated when what they are is a pedophile

 

And look at the attempt to normalize it too. Like what in the **** is going on

 

The pic was to illustrate the point that doing something in 'bad taste' is a matter of opinion.

 

What they are are mentally ill criminals who prey upon and sexually molest children.

They don't deserve any legitimacy in society. They deserve to be locked away in prison where they cannot victimize children.

 

Lol...
NOT Even Close...
Parents are free to put their children in any variety of situations...
One person hands her babies to Trump...
One Mom dances with her boy on a pole...
They aren't MY Kids (or anybody else's but the Parents)...
So? Why should anybody get bent out of shape about how OTHERS raise their own kids?
Don't people have better things to worry about?

 

TLDR.

Watching House of the Dragon.

 

Kids (especially TODDLERS) don’t belong on stripper poles. Seek help.

 

Oh the horror! You have anymore whine with that cheese? Don’t be salty because your political opposition out-arms you 10 to 1.

 

Any good??

 

Hope the kid hangs on. You know what they say, "Pride cometh before a fall".

 

NAMBLA has been around for some time. They’ve just rebranded. They are rejected by all but Westboro types, they are just way fringe on the other side.

 

The funny part is that your response underscores what I had posted, about your preferring the quicker, albeit less accurate route, of just going with your assumed biases, instead of taking the time & effort to be present, & investigate things for yourself.

I had to look up your abbreviation-- you actually over-shortened it, BTW, leaving out the semi-colon (; ) that, according to Google, belongs in between the "L" & the "D."

 

Yep, sums up FOXNEWS and viewers perfectly. Kid undoubtedly asked to try, was lifted up and seriously protected by the adult, and got to play.
OH THE HUMANITY!
Pity, in an effort to protect children from the future, some fools read into a child's play something sinister.
Now, hand the kid a loaded AR-15 and that's cool.

 

I love that there is an open thread right now where right wingers are arguing that beating children is good while on this thread they are screaming about a kid holding onto a metal pole in a parade.

Clearly the problem here is that the woman was holding the child rather than beating him. Apparently that would be the moral thing to do.

 

Yeah. Already hooked.

 

Neah. That's far right wing Christian conspiracy thinking.

 

How about disgusting? I literally don't know how that's not sexual assault. I do know that'll be in my nightmares for quite sometime. Poor kid. I feel bad for him and hope that child services steps in.
