Where can one move to get away from perverts? And my definition of perverts is broader than pedophiles, and includes most of the the NewYork Times writing staff. Where is John Galt?

There is an issue that runs through criminal law that much criminal activity is the result of mental illness; nevertheless, one way or another, a society has a right to protect itself from true threats, whether voluntary or not, committed by the actor.

What we need to normalize is execution.

Remember LGB? Then LGBT? Now it´s LGBTQIA. The acronym gets longer as we add in every peculiarity. So I guess it will become LGBTQIAP, at least for a while. At some point they will add me to the list. What will they call someone who engages in sex with a spouse of the opposite gender?

What of the VICTIMS ........ the Children !!!!!!

#2, it is true that many people in our jails and prisons today have mental illness. And yes, society has a right to protect itself from true threats. The problem comes when society views prison as a punishment...in the sense that, once the person is punished, he will learn from his mistakes and go forth and never do something like that again. A false assumption - the mental illness doesn´t go away. Many with severe mental illness are not capable of ´learning from their mistakes´ in the normal sense of that term. In fact, law enforcement officials will tell you that some ´learn´ that committing a crime is the easiest way to get off the streets on a cold night and get ´3 hots and a cot´.

Of course pedophilia should not be normalized! But how does it help society to lock people up in individual cells? Society needs to re-think housing options for those with mental illness or those with pedophilia. There are less expensive, and more humane, ways to keep those who are a risk to society at large away from others.

"The sin of the century is the loss of the sense of sin." —Pope Pius XII

Normalizing pedophilia is quite the rabbit hole. Because once you deem it a sexual orientation you automatically give such individuals special rights (LBGT and all), and so to punish pedophiles for doing what is "natural" will become verboten.

Our children and grandchildren are in great peril.

The very last sentence in the article:
No “conversation!” No debate! Having sexual relations with children treats them as mere objects, a good definition of evil. If this view ever enters the mainstream–and that seems closer–we are on the road to cultural death.

perfectly sums it up for me. NO DEBATE. This is a glittering example of the ´´slippery slope´´ some of us have been warning about for years. STOP. NOW...

The consequence of the liberal drift called "progressivism". No surprise. And, when I have seemed to joke about beastiality on this site, please note that I have not been joking. Right around the corner. All part of the "progressives" ideology of human degradation as good progress. Everybody on the same level. The lowest level possible.

#1, you´d have to include a significant portion of the democratic party, especially the past Massachusetts contingent.

#6 maybe you can put them up at your place then.

The camel has progressed from his nose being under the tent - he´s now up to his hump!!

#6 can thank the ACLU for those issues. They are the group who decided the mentally ill had rights and therefore should not be locked up. Now 40 years later, we are seeing the results of their interference.

I´ve been saying this for years.

Legislating homosexual rights WITHOUT first establishing what homosexuality IS (i.e., what is the agent or process that causes one to be same-sex attracted) would establish a legal precedent that would inevitably include pedophiles.

Since parents have been removed from the equation (by abortion rights court rulings) what will children require to authorize their "consent"... a signed note from a social worker, or apprenticeship status in a sex-worker union?

20 years ago, here in MA, librarians and the public started finding obscene pictures inserted in the childrens´ books. They were crudely drawn but quite explicit and the start of the indoctrination of children. One group in this state is working to remove the age of consent. Another group has, for 15 years, been busing suburban middle-schoolers into boston to demonstrate and explain gay sex to children. They pass out "toys" at these conferences. MA is a long way down the road to normalizing pedophilia.

Re: #6, there must be a line in the sand no matter the mental condition. No line = no hope; as in we are no longer a people of laws just barbarians ruled by might - Mad Max. Since it seems clear that science has not caught up with an enlightened view of effectively and definitively dealing with the mentally ill who commit this crimes (and I am not sure of what % that is) then we must use what is available... and that line has been breached. Save the children first.

#6, the only ´´housing´´ they need is a pine box.

#4 - Pervert!

Do I accurately remember something about Owebama removing a law in the military that made sex with an animal illegal? Seems like it happened just last year. Does anyone else remember that?

2 Timothy 3:

1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

Read it all.

The underlying nihilism of Leftist fantasy ideology is usually obscured by a facade of sentimentality and legalisms that purport to strive for a higher truth. The reality, as the slippery slope of sexual perversion shows, is quite different. Sex, drugs and rock and roll = if it feels good do it! = hedonism = naturalism = nihilism. There is a kind of sinister comedy to the spectacle of a society sawing off the limb on which it is sitting while deluding itself that it is building heaven on earth.

#6 - Total cost for 1 each .45 ACP fifty cents. Problem solved.
My give a crap meter has been broken for a while.

The leftists can study pedophilia, they can understand it, they can normalize it. Whatever.

But know this, you effin perverts: you do ANYTHING, anything at all, with one of my grandchildren and I will use my Marine Corps Kbar fighting knife in the manner in which I was trained and I will gut you like a fresh-killed hog and use your vital organs to decorate your home and I will go to the death chamber here in The Republic of Texas with a clear conscience. I swear it to God!

Sorry for the double post. #22, ammunition is expensive. The knife is cheaper and reusable. It is the "green" solution.

Also, you get the pleasure of looking the pervert in the eyes as his lights go out and he makes the transition to hell. Good times.

This is going to sound strange - but it´s true.

Some people practice pedophilia not because they are sexually attracted to kids. They are sexually attracted to the POWER of having sex with kids.

Also, some people are so out of control sexually - that they have sex whenever possible. Heterosexual guys have gay sex or sex with children because they reach a point where they will have sex with anyone. Regardless of their orientation.

Next up will be the normalcy of necrophilia.

Can you imagine not being able to keep a pedophile from getting a job in schools or a daycare?

**shudder** this is where we are going...

No country has ever survived such perversions.

Countries are judged by how they treat the most helpless among their population. America was established upon the God given, thus, ´´inherent,´´ Rights of each individual. Respect for each human life as an individual is reflected in the Founders´ journals, the U.S. Constitution and the Rule of Law. Each child, each human life, is precious and must be respected and protected from preditors in the U.S.A.. We dare not ignore that compassionate and legal trust!

Michael Jackson believed that pedophilia was normal and he has been lionized by the popular media. It´s all just a slippery slope.

#25 is right. There are individuals attracted to children, then there are those whose compulsion to overpower another leads them to rape and molest whomever they can. The sex is secondary to their need for power. This is the dynamic of a rapist. Rapists will rape anyone from infants to 99-year-old ladies.

This idea sounds repulsive now but I would estimate that in ten years, the downhill slide of this society will bring us there. Look at the large percentage of congress and the hollywood crowd who are homosexuals or engage in one of the other deviations. These people have the most influence and power over the idle masses. Ten years - if God allows the world to last that much longer.

To quote the Catholic commentator and blogger:

Well may the Catholic Church be condemned to-day because of its handling of the child abuse scandal, for tomorrow it will be crucified for opposing the "natural" rights of paedophiles!

The "pedos" have learnt very well from the GLBT modus operandi: first step is to establish that the "intrinsically disordered" sexual inclination is fundamentally "a normal distinct sexual orientation, like heterosexuality....." and the rest follows.

The "Catholic commentator and blogger" I refer to in my previous post is Mark Shea,

I think #6 was talking about re-establishing mental institutions and prisons for the criminally insane (including sexual predators) like that place that they used to have in Southern California near SLO (can´t remember the name offhand).

I am not surprised this sick idea came out of Canada.
