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.

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?

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.

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.

All of our rights come with certain responsibilities. Children do not possess the mental maturity to make these decisions and it is the responsibility of adults (ETA: their legal guardians) to help make decisions for them. This applies in every circumstance. Pedophilia is not the same animal as homosexuality.

I was just about to post this. What happens between two consenting adults is their business. This is not the case for a minor and an adult.

For a second there, I thought you were bringing beastiality into the conversation...

[Kraven251]

I too believe that the laws surrounding pedophilia should be reviewed. I am a firm believer that those that prey on children should experience a long drop while attached to a short rope. I don't want to study them to find out why it happens or what causes these things to happen, nor do I want to see it become some societal debate about their rights, you steal a child's youth, you forfeit your right to continue breathing oxygen.
