And the progressive creep continues

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?

Well, I love you, man.

Pedophilia is not the same animal as homosexuality.

I can not stress this more. And it's the problem I have with a lot of anti gay rhetoric, trying to say that all gay men are out to rape little boys. Or the ones who point out homosexuality is against God's word in the Bible, Leviticus 18:22. But yet trim their hair in violation of Leviticus 19:27, get tattoos even though Leviticus 19:28 says not to. Leviticus 19:19 says not to wear clothing woven of two materials, so say goodbye to poly/cotton blends. If you really believe the word of the Bible, you can't pick and choose which rules to follow.

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

Dude. . . that's just wrong. What a man and his goat decide to do in the privacy of their own home. . . nevermind.

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.

I hate all this "double standard" type rhetoric we always get from Bible haters and Bible Thumpers. Go back and Re-read it, study the customs, history, and culture of the time and the audience the books were written too/for. Leviticus is part of the OT. Jesus paid the price for the OT Law that no man could follow. OT laws and rules are no longer applicable Jesus is your savior, etc. I don't want to get into a theological debate because it will never get anywhere. Know thy self. Know you're own moral obligations, standards, ethics, etc. Love others as you love yourself (Mark 12), etc. We CAN pick and choose because we have free will. Is it right? Only you and your God can answer that.

Love ya Dave, not bashing or calling you out. Just stating my own personal feelings etc. This post is not directed at you even though you're qouted. Not wanting to change/challenge thread.
Thanks.

I like Leviticus, its awesome..

I was raised Catholic, OT rules still apply when the Church says so.

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.

Unless its a male student and a hot female teacher........
