And the progressive creep continues

[Melvin]

All those who scoffed at people who said going down the road of "normalizing" fudge packers was a slippery slope may now be swallowing hard trying to eat their words. I love it when the tolerant are made to eat crow.

As Rush said yesterday, try thinking back to the first time you heard someone suggest the concept of gay marriage and your gut reaction. As Ian Anderson sang, "The train keeps going and it wont slow down".

Paedophilia: bringing dark desires to light

The Jimmy Savile scandal caused public revulsion, but experts disagree about what causes paedophilia - and even how much harm it causes

<snip>

This is radical stuff. But there is a growing conviction, notably in Canada, that paedophilia should probably be classified as a distinct sexual orientation, like heterosexuality or homosexuality. Two eminent researchers testified to that effect to a Canadian parliamentary commission last year, and the Harvard Mental Health Letter of July 2010 stated baldly that paedophilia "is a sexual orientation" and therefore "unlikely to change".

Your argument kinda lost traction when you said "fudge packers." Whether you agree with it or not, it's here, it's not going anywhere, and the best we can do is try and respect others' without infringing upon their life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

I love how that's supposed to apply until the dems find something they don't like. Then it's 0 tolerance.

Yes, but we're supposed to take the higher road and not stoop to their level... IE: "I don't force anyone to buy a gun, but they want to disarm me. I don't force anyone to hunt, but they wanna ban my ability to hunt. I don't force anyone to eat meat, but they push to ban meat. These are lunatics that propose this crap." -Uncle Ted Nugent.

Ah! Political Correctness. Paralyzing western society for 40 years. And do explain how that nullifies the seriousness of the topic? Or is it that the topict is a little too close for comfort?

When you stoop to a level just above pawn scum you come off as a bigot and intolerant yourself, and thus just proves that your argument is based on blind hate instead of factual reference. And by you insinuating that I'm a homosexual just proves how blatantly ignorant and bigoted you are... For the record, my uncle was a homosexual, and I'd be willing to bet, before he died in 1988, he was 10x the person you would ever dream of being. I don't agree with political correctness, but I'm not a rampant anti-gay, homophobic, bigot like you. If they chose that lifestyle that's their choice, "what another eats doesn't make me shit." So pump the brakes Mel.

In case you hadn't noticed this country is going to hell thanks to "tolerance". I am sure you have got to be the first person I have ever known who calls "Chumlee" scum. If you actually took time to read what I wrote vs projecting your reality on what you want my OP to have said you might have realized that I provided an in depth article from a well established news organization as opposed to offering an opinion.

Again I never said nor implied that you were hoimo. I said maybe you throwing up your straw man was your way of deflecting from the subject of the OP because that was a little too close to home. I have yet to see anything you have said that expresses any disgust with the premise of the OP.

No you are not anti gay. You are a rampant anti-normal, heterophobic bigot. You don't have a corner on the slur market. (although your brand of slur, distraction and deflection is straight out of Alinsky's little debate guide for libs)

Sorry, missed the part about "fudge-packers" in the Guardian article. Can you quote it? And you've seen nothing but disgust here for pedophiles, which was the topic of the referenced article. Homosexuality, meh, we're grownups here. For the most part. Until about 17 posts ago, anyway.

There is a big difference between tolerance and being respectful. Yes, I do think pedophilia is disgusting and wrong. No it's not close to anywhere with me (home, work, or parts unknown), never has been, never will be, so yes I do find the subject you posted about to be disgusting, vile, and intolerable... However, that's the UK, same place where stellar examples of the absolute worst of humanity (Piers Morgan) come from.

I didn't project any false reality, I simply stated that by using hateful, and inflammatory words unnecessarily hurts your credibility... which I see now you never had to begin with. Your "anti-normal, heterophobic bigot" remark was sad and ignorant to put it nicely. You need to make up words to better suit your vitriolic rebuttal? And claiming I in any way, shape, or form follow a Socialist hack like Alinsky is just in poor taste. You're new here, so I'll help fill you in, these attacks are sophomoric at best, and I suggest, for fear of reprisal from the MODs, you cool it a bit. I was only saying that we should be more apt to taking the higher road instead of resorting to childish, ignorant, and stupidly hateful remarks like "fudge packer." Then again, if I had to wager a guess, a lot of this went over your head since I can surmise you have yet to graduate the 12th grade.

Well, I love you, man.
