OooWee, OrphanPip, you are a spitfire!!!
OrpahnPip, I am not certain which realm you have just entered, but would you seriously want someone punished for their thoughts. ALL thoughts ARE acceptable in and of themselves. These are thoughts, which are as harmless as homosexuality, which you deem here irrelevant. Unless, these thoughts are acted upon, they ARE harmless. I disagree that homosexuality here is irrelevant simply because, Homosexuality is a sexual proclivity, such as necrophilia, paedophilia, etc. All of these choices are vague in their origins (see the nature vs. nurture debate), and needs no justification. My only problem with certain sexual proclivities are when they take away choice from an individual. Bestiality, is quite bizarre as well But must also be acknowledged and validated as a sexual choice. We may not like it, but who are WE (homosexuals) to judge. What we must do is educate ourselves, truly try to understand the complex dynamic of sexualities and refrain from cruel and narrow judgements. We (homosexuals) are still labelled by many as the most vilest of things ever to grace this earth. But, education has taught many differently, except for the few who remain wilfully ignorant. Let's give them (paedophiles) the benefit of the doubt, that they are not ALL sadistic sexual predators.
Quote:Yet, that does not mean all thoughts are acceptable in and of themselves. Where do we draw the line of responsibility, are only actions choices?
