Shameful Thoughts

[Anonymous]

Mr. Anonymous, I was very surprised after reading several of your older postings mile:

One of the common arguments used by anti-LGBT people is the "born that way" argument because pedophiles also use the same argument that they are "born that way".

The anti-LGBT group claims that if gays and lesbians can use the "Born that way" argument to gain recognition, equality, etc.,,,,,then so can the pedophiles. In essence they are saying that if gays & lesbians gain equality then a slippery slope scenario will result where pedophiles will be able to challenge current pedophile laws and overthrow them - thereby making pedophilia legal where pedophiles can then pick the child of their choice and have their way with the little tots - without fear of imprisonment or persecution. Pedophiles will even be able to marry those potty trained hotties!!!!!....

Mr. Anonymous, what do you think of this slippery slope scenario?

As a medical diagnosis, pedophilia (or paedophilia) is typically defined as a psychiatric disorder in adults or late adolescents (persons age 16 and older) characterized by a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children (generally age 13 years or younger,

Pat Robertson is at it again, making outrageous homophobic statements on his Christian Broadcasting Network, linking the legalization of same-sex marriage to not only polygamy and child molestation, but also to bestiality and pedophilia.

The slippery slope scenario is hogwash at best. Its a attempt for anti-gay groups to prevent the lgbt communtiy from getting equal rights. They are trying to bully and scare people into thinking all hell is going to break loose if the LGBT community is granted equal rights. Here is why the slippery slope argument wont hold water in the long run:

For one pedophilia is classified as a mental disorder in adults. Nobody can be born with it. The pro-pedophile camp would have show evidence to the contrary to convince civilized morally upright society that they arent sickos. Allot of changes in attitudes by society at large and research would have to take place before they would even think about considering legalizing pedophilia. Politicians are douche bags but any politician running for office would not touch the idea of supporting legalizing pedophilia with a hundred foot pole. It would be political suicide. If an court had enough balls to legalize it then you can expect anarchy to reign by way of riots and protest in the streets.

Second of all no responsible parent is going to let a pedophile within a mile of there kid. You could almost count on people getting beat down for even suggesting that they want to have sex with a persons child. Parents are already protective of there teens when they start dating. Imagine how protective they will be of a five year old. As for incestuous abuse the current child abuse laws would still apply much like a parent cant legally beat there child right now. Sexual act's performed on a child cause physical and mental harm to them. The pedophiles would have a hard time getting around child welfare laws to boot.

As for polygamist I could see them trying to gain equality in the future. However that would be at least 50 year off before they could think about gaining any ground. As for besiality I think the stigma attached to it would be a big enough deterrent. If not then you still have animal cruelty laws on the books that would have to be overturned. Also an animal cant consent to sexual intercourse so it would be rape.
