I don’t see where I condemned a whole group of people.???
[color=black][color=red]When you feel like quoting me have the decency to seperate your paranoia from my post.
[/color]Stop making false connections between unrelated events to prove your point. You truly are paranoid of this subject if you feel pedophilia will be legal in this country.
Making the connection, AND YOU ARE MAKING THE CONNECTION, between the rights of homosexuals and the rights of pedophilia only shows your own ignorance of the topic.
Yes views change, but what you are saying would be the largest moral change to ever take place in this country since the end of slavery, the FORCED-marriages in Utah actually proves my point not yours. There was considerable outrage towards that man and he was considered one of the most wanted men in America, the same list Osama Bin Laden is on. I can’t really see his kind being accepted in our life time if this is the kind of “recognition” they receive now.
How much education do you actually have, you told me to pick up a sociology book well I have and every society from a tribe to our own has traditions and ideas of what make a person an adult, and for us right now it is turning 18yo and or graduating high school. Yes different states have different laws but none of them truly view anyone younger than 18/17 to be an adult. Also many of the laws you quoted about marriage are now being changed due to the incident down south where a woman “married” a 15-16 yo to use the spousal privilege defense.
Again, to say that pedophilia will be legal in this country will mean making the age of consent to something like 14, that will mean that this country will view a child of 14yo as an adult.
You are and idiot if you think such a change will happen, especially in our lifetime.
I am done with this thread, I feel I have made my point, and as the late Richard Hofstader has said, you can not argue with a person whose arguments are styled in paranoia.

I don’t care what the members of NAMBLA think their cause relates to. It’s not about gay rights, it’s about legalizing sex with minors. Period.
it’s not false, but it’s certainly being presented with an agenda in mind
^^^ this coming from a staunch republican. shrugs
I have no problem with gay rights, in fact, I do think it’s very discrimnatory to say that in Canada straight people can be sexually active legally before gay men, that’s not fair, whether it’s intended to prevent older men from “preying on boys” - well, why wouldn’t older STRAIGHT men prey on younger girls if the AOC was different.
our society is very white-hetero-male-centric (this coming FROM a straight man, hey, I can admit we clearly hold the position of power by a HUGE margin). SOONER THAN LATER THIS WILL CHANGE - when it does, do you want to be looked at as the resistant-to-change-stuck-in-the-past crusty old fuck, or as someone willing to embrace those different from us, or at the very least, be accepting and tolerant??
Acceptance and tolerance are over-rated.
