So two conclusions here: 1) Because of how I was born and who I love, I will always be second class in your eyes. Your hateful opinion, and not worth anything. 2) Because of your hateful opinion, current scientific research is dismissed out of hand. Again, your choice to remain ignorant. So where are we??? I am still living my life without the equal rights I deserve. However, I will gain them in my lifetime. <<< MODERATOR EDIT: OFF TOPIC/INSULT >>>
No, you make up reasons for things without finding out the real information. And that information has nothing to do with homosexuals themselves, but with medical research and scientific study. You know, truth.....
Sorry but you are just wrong. Homosexuals are perverts whether they practice their twisted sexual desires with other adults or with little boys. Having unnatural sex is what defines them as people whether by choice or not.
How sad for those children and parents to have people continually spread lies and vile false information. To have to live in a society that believes these things is a heavy burden on them. <<< MODERATOR EDIT: OFF TOPIC/INSULT >>>
No, I'm saying that like rape, the real reason is power and control. That is what drives the sexual harm. This is really not news, it is common knowledge in the medical world.
Why does any man want to help boys grow into honest, well rounded adults??? Answer that and you have your reason. Homosexual men are exactly like heterosexual men. The only difference is who they choose to date and marry.
And yet, statistically speaking, keeping them in scouts means they are in as much danger as they were in your church....
True. As long as homosexual men exist little boys will be in danger no matter where they happen to be.
The same range of reasons as straights I would have expected. Being gay relates to one characteristic in the countless ones that make up an individual and is not one relevant to scouting. I've volunteered to help at both scouts (in the UK) and a youth club for both boys and girls and that had absolutely nothing to do with my sexual orientation (straight as it happens).
Being gay is a different brand of sexual perversion than the other two. I'm not claiming there is a direct link between them but rather that there is nothing wrong with society exercising its collective common sense to disapprove of all three.
What a twisted, sick, undeserved view of a group of people that you really know NOTHING about. The real reason that the US is failing is the massive amount of ignorance in this country. Our sytem of educating every child is and EPIC FAIL. All we have achieved is the complete dumbing down of America. We have the worst system in the world, and it is sinking us. You are a perfect example of a person who can use a computer but can not educate himself with the information available on it. I sometimes wonder if there is any hope.
I would say that pedophilia, rape of any kind would be abhorrent to any thinking, feeling person. it doesn't really matter what your politics are.
Homosexulity is simply a different sexual orientation. The only thing that separates the homosexual from the heterosexual is who they date and marry (where they can). Otherwise, there is no more perversion in one than in the other.
Gay men date and fall in love with other gay men. Pedophiles (95% heterosexual) prey on little girls and little boys. They do not care which.
Sure. And someday a different mom will be arguing that men who fall in love with an animal or with their sister are just as normal as gays are. How dare society trying to keep them from being what they are.
I am working from facts, you are working from wherever you keep your opinions. We'll leave it at that.
Common knowledge or not, sexual molestation of a child is a sex crime and harmful to the child. Psychological rationalization is not any comfort to the physical and psychological damage done to the child who is the victim of rape or molestation. Surely you don't mean to minimize that harm by calling it a power thing, right?
You have never been to San Francisco have you? Also I noticed you haven't addressed the normalcy of San Francisco circle jerk offs in public and total public nudity being the norm.
Not sure hopw anyone can, with the use of honesty and logic, think that is what the poster was attempting to convey. Whilst it appears that many in this thread, oddly on one side of the aisle politically, seem to think homosexuality is synonymous with pedophilia or that may pedohiles who molest boys are gay, the circumstances are much more complex than a simple sexual outlet. Many male pedophiles who molest boys, such as Jerry Sandusky, live straight lives and do not appear to be homosexual. Here is an article that provides a bit more insight into it. http://www.joekort.com/articles50.htm They usually don't identify as homosexual–the majority identify as heterosexual, even those who abuse children of the same gender They are sexually aroused by youth, not by gender. In contrast, child molesters often exert power and control over children in an effort to dominate them. They do experience sexual desire for adults, but molest children episodically, for reasons apart from sexual desire, much as rapists enjoy power, violence and controlling their humiliated victims. Indeed, research supports that a child molester isn't any more likely to be homosexual than heterosexual.
And some gay men prey on little boys, which is how pedophilia can be HOMOSEXUAL. How much longer with the lies?
Complete bullcrap. No one said, ANYWHERE, that "pedophlia is synonymous with homosexuality", so stop the straw man bullcrap. Quite the contrary, we have people claiming that homosexual men preying on boys are, somehow, NOT HOMOSEXUALS, whic is UTTER NONSENSE.
Never!!! I was just explaining what drives a pedophile. While you or I would be attracted to another adult, pedophiles are looking for someone to dominate. They do this sexually. I would be first in line to castrate a pedophile if I ever got my hands on one!!!!
