Alabama mayor keeping it classy

[enki]

@conan

I know it. Being ridicules, shamed etc. Seems its still social acceptable to shame straight people.

who is shaming straight people for being straight?

[conan]

Hmm…Interesting.

Didn’t think of that.

[JayJay]

Really?

52 year old straight white republican male here…according to the “libruhls are trying to destroy our way of life crowd” crowd, I tick all the boxes of one who it would be “socially acceptable” to shame.

Never experienced it happening to me…not once.

I guess I haven’t been “properly trained” to notice or something.

[Publius]

As if there’s anything gay people do that straight people don’t also do. It’s just a question of who you’re doing it with.

[Plasmaball]

Need a woman for that.

[JayJay]

@Plasmaball

Need a woman for that.

Married 26 years…two kids…one boy one girl.

I am as white bread conservative nuclear family as it comes in my personal life…even own several guns!

Never experienced it.

I answered your question- there is no such thing as consensual sex between adults and children.

Absolutely correct.

so therefore it is a crime if a child and an adult have sex.

everyone knows that.

If posters are too scared to answer very straightforward questions in a discussion, they’ve lost the debate by default. It’s a very simple question to indicate why people consider other groups activities “a problem”. If you have the self-awareness to identify why you think consensual sex between adults and children is a problem, you should be able to understand why someone else might consider an aggressive agenda to normalise homosexuality is a problem, even if you disagree with them. But if you lack the self-awareness to identify why you think consensual sex between adults and children is a problem, you are unlikely to have anything rational to contribute to this discussion but only faux outrage.

I answered your question- there is no such thing as consensual sex between adults and children.

I also addressed what it is you are trying to do- create false equivalencies so the debate can be had on your terms and not objective terms.

There is no equivalence between sex between adults and kids…which is not consensual…and that of homosexual partners that we should be worried about “an aggressive agenda to normalize it”.

It’s the old “homosexuality=pedophilia” argument again, and no matter how many words you use to dress that up, that’s what it is.

You are nowhere near as clever as you think you are. WAY smarter people than you, who are WAY more grounded in the use of logic and rhetoric than you, have tried and failed with these arguments.

So please stop this crap to try and distract that a public official in Alabama suggested killing off all LGBTQ was a “solution” to any kind of “problem”.

Either call him out, declare your support for him, or get out of the thread.

It’s scary that some cannot distinguish.

[JayJay]

Even Paul does.

Except he is trying to set up a false equivalence while denying he’s doing that.

[Plasmaball]

She didnt train you?

@conan

How does that make you all feel?

I am happy for all concerned, Myself I dont need to march in a parade to exclaim my sexuality
but for those who do. go for it.

You lost this one when you could not logically defend the mayor’s words and resorted to claiming I had a problem with comprehending figures of speech. The funny thing is I fully understand why the mayor has a problem with an aggressive agenda to normalize homosexuality. I also have a problem with the mayor’s solution. If you listened to his explanation for his comments you would realize he is talking about killing people, because a civil war over this is the only way to solve the problem.

You have yet to logically defend anything the mayor said. You simply rationalized it.

If a child is groomed into a state of mind where he or she gives consent, who’s to say it’s not consensual

Paul–kids below a certain age are not allowed to consent.

its the same way the children dont drive cars, sign contracts and are forced to be educated.

its the law of these united states.

grooming underage kids to have sex and then actually having sex is a crime and should be reported,

I know I would rat people out if I knew,

Basically all children need to be protected by their parents and law enforcement from predators.

You shouldn’t fall for his tangent trap…

@Plasmaball

You shouldn’t fall for his tangent trap…

He keeps bringing it up, though.

Sex between men and boys.

He can’t let it go.

He’s fixated on this aspect, addressing it with laser-like focus. Like it’s the one thing that comes to mind for him on this topic.

I dare say he’ll bring it up again.

This is based on observation and science.

no it isn’t

Decisions on age of consent is not based on observation? And science has come a long way in our understanding of brain development and how we change as we age.

No, they are not. In New Homogeneous Hampshire for example a 14 year-old can consent if approved by a judge. Is a judge a scientist? Where’s the scientific basis for that one?

[Plasmaball]

Well yeah…he is trying to make the counter argument so horrible and indefensible…but it’s just stupid

[Spartacus]

After 200 comments, I would say there were many points to this thread. They made all on the right with deflecting comments look real bad…

[DOLOOP]

@Plasmaball

Well yeah…he is trying to make the counter argument so horrible and indefensible…but it’s just stupid

I dunno.

He’s really, really fixated on that whole sex with boys thing.

I’m not sure it’s necessarily related to the OP.
