Boy Scouts of America may file for bankruptcy

I hope you are joking.

 

How is my statement homophobic?

 

Just out of curiosity, who counts as the near right?

 

If your goal is to protect children from abuse and you can identify a cohort that is 5 times more likely to abuse then you attempt to exclude that cohort. You discriminate.

To take information, even if it applies to a group, and use it, only makes logical sense.

 

Not if that information is based on lies.

 

Once libs forced them to accept girls, they were doomed. They had no chance of survival.

 

Nobody forced them to accept girls. Go cry to the chief executive who is a conservative.

 

Except this is not true. Homosexual men do not molest boys at a far higher rate

Your confusion comes from not understanding the classifications of philias or orientations.

 

Were they forced to? I thought they did it to bring in more members.

 

Except that’s simply not true, there has only been a single study that arrived at the conclusion you are claiming as fact — and it was based on self reporting of a very small sample at a single prison — also they refused to release basic methodology after being discredited.

The National Academy of Sciences noted in a 1993 report: "The distinction between homosexual and heterosexual child molesters relies on the premise that male molesters of male victims are homosexual in orientation. Most molesters of boys do not report sexual interest in adult men, however" (National Research Council, 1993, p. 143)

The loose classification of all men that molest infant or young boys as being gay men is intellectually dishonest at best, especially seeing that the overwhelming majority have no attraction to males are often married and most have children of their own. It is simply about ease of access.

 

I don't think I've ever seen so many lame excuses from right wingers on this forum before.

You people need to stop making excuses and blaming libs for the mess you create.

 

Trick #1, saying the rate is five times as high, but not specifying what the rate is. E.g. we should ban garage doors because chances of garage door death is 10 times that of death by asteroid. Drug companies use this technique to sell products that statistically are unlikely to help you.

Trick #2. Group think. Banning a whole sexual orientation/sex/race/religion based on the poor actions of a few individuals. Racists employ this technique to argue that blacks are inferior to whites because of much higher crime rates, and shouldn't be trusted in leadership positions. Radical feminists use this same reasoning to argue that men are too violent to hold positions of responsibility.

 

Flaws in logic.

 

10 word minimum here.

 

Your logic is as flawed as it is wrong, sir.

 

Really? Christianity, Islam, Judaism & Conservatism all fit that bill damned near perfectly. Probably more besides.

Spend a few days reading through the threads on this forum. They identify themselves regularly.

 

Yes, some identify themselves.

 

Sorry, I don't understand your post. Was Martin Bryant, IQ of less than 70, religious or gay or homophobic?

 

Why would you expect sense from glassy eyed fanatics fed on a relentless diet of propaganda?

 

Trick #0 - Ignoring statistics to promote agenda.

 

Your statistic was addressed and refuted by my post. Please re-read.

 

You are not using statistics however.
You are using flawed methodology in attempt to portray a group as statistically higher to offend while simultaneously using reduced population percentages of said group and inclusion of anyone who offends while omitting them from the overall percentage.

Ex. 10 people in a group, 1 identify as homosexual and 9 as heterosexual — this would put the estimated homosexual percentage at 10%. Now let’s assume that 1 of those self identified heterosexuals molest an infant boy. Opponents of homosexuals would ignore that he is married with children and identified as heterosexual and would instead label him as homosexual. And voilà - you have 100% offense rate on homosexuals.

Men are statistically the perpetrator in all sexual abuse, domestic abuse, murder, theft, child molestation, assault, and police encounters. But since many of us are men here we like to ignore this and find sub-groups to point to.
