How can I explain it to you if you're wholly incapable of perceiving the heart of the problem? So many people in this thread don't understand it's about the consequences of sexual liberation and instead think it's just about insulting liberals. So many people are incapable of thinking of the real issue the OP is bringing up.
Bull#. I don't hope it, it will happen, and I will rub it in your faces when it does, because I'm an asshole like that. the only thing I'm hoping for is you to be alive when it inevitably does so I can be a smug idiot about how I was right and you were wrong.

Listen up. The topic has been established, and nobody is missing the big picture. Reread the OP; for cying out loud look at the thread title. She isn't here to discuss child abuse/pedophiles. There are multiple threads on ATS concerning this subject, and they have been approached in a non-accusing, non-political way. She is simply using this emotionally charged topic to bash people who differ from her political persuasion.
Look back on page 7; here is her comment:
It's very much political. Liberals have been trying to lower the "age of consent" since ages. You wont find ANY conservative parties advocating that
Now do you see? " ANY conservative "parties" advocating this? " This is what her thread is really about. And why keep dancing around what she means? She's a republican bashing democrats. Short and simple. I at least want her to realize that others have seen through this rather vicious and transparent ruse. I find it appalling that one could lower themselves to this calumny, propagandizing, and willingness to trash millions of people in order to make a false political appeal, and build a strawman argument.
Gawd. :shk:
I've said my piece and am unsubscribing from this thread.
ETA: Frontkemper; My frustrations herein are not directed towards you. Others have actually attempted to guide the thread to discuss child abuse, but notice the OP won't have it. She keeps re-directing it back to the political issue, as shown above.

I can't explain it. You've just got to think about it carefully and you will see it too. Of course, if you are a left-winger, you will think it's all alarmism, and not see the consequences of the ideals of modern liberalism.
No, no, no, stop accusing me of things I don't hope. What I hope for is society will see the problems of its new values and rectify it. But I know that is highly unlikely, so might as well hope to be a smug idiot about what is inevitable, when other people learn the hard way. I am the type of person who enjoys saying "I told you so."

Here in England where 33% of people get their news from "the liberal" British Brainwashing Commission I haven’t heard anything about this story.
Had it been a catholic boarding school then I guess it would be a different matter. Why? Because there is a battle between politics & religion, and the a-moral politics is winning that fight with the “progressives” mass media’s support.
As for Politics…
“Being moralistic” is good. Nobody can know anything but at least trying to have faith in moral ideals, brings the beholder closer to those ideals.
I believe A-moralism is liberalism, at its most extreme. But it is also the extreme right at its most extreme. Sometimes ideologies are so opposite that they become very similar e.g. Nazism & Communism.edit on 090705 by Liberal1984 because: (no reason given)

You evaded my question. So I will repeat it; Provide evidence that American Liberals defend child molestors and Polanski.
I provided a list of 100 Hollywood-Liberals that petition for Polanski.
Btw: Which statement of mine makes you think Im a Nazi? Are people who are against the age of consent being lowered to 12, Nazis? What is the percentage of liberals you think would agree with you?

I did not say all liberals are potential child rapists. You really have poor reading comprehension.
I said the ideals of modern liberalism taken to their logical conclusion, ideas such as sexual liberation and postmodernism, will eventually lead to the idea that children too can decide when to have sex and with whomever they please. After all, much of the argument is based on "it's natural" and if people consent there's nothing wrong with it. Incest and having sex with whomever have entered puberty is also natural in the animal kingdom. Combined with the sexualization of the youth, it seems to lead to the idea that either the age of consent will be lowered in the future or pedophilia will no longer always cause an outraged reaction. How we viewed homosexuality in the past, is also how pedophilia (so long as both parties consent) will be viewed in the future.
There's nothing that can be done about it. If you warn people they think it's just alarmism. When it actually happens it will be called prejudiced or bigoted opposed to it. After all, who are you to decide to what two consenting human beings decide to do?
You don't see it because you think it's fantasy. It is not. It is the logical consequence of our current social values. I'm not saying liberals are pedophiles. I'm saying the values they support will lead to such a state whether they plan it or not.edit on 7-1-2011 by 547000 because: (no reason given)

The extremes of either left or right lead to trouble. That is why we need both voices. They tend to moderate each other when combined in a healthy way. This is important to remember by those who think that one wing is harmful and should be excluded from the debate. Not so. The best form of government is produced when the best of the right and the best of the left are combined in positive ways. This is where we all should be instead of where we are. Where are we? Well it's easy to see that where we are is a place whereupon we do nothing but to hurl incriminating insults to each other over barbed wire obstacles. Time maybe for the adults among us to slap down the silly children in government and re-assert themselves.

100 Liberals = 0.000016% of the US citizens that self identify as Liberals.
So....0.000016% of a group is representative of the group?
The most famous Liberals represent the Millions, just like the most famous Conservatives represent their Millions.
There are black sheep among any party. But its clear that sexual liberation, lowering the age of consent, defending the "rights" of child-molestors, attacking traditional roles of sexuality, attacking normal sex are classical left-wing agendas.

Apply the new ideals of society carefully. They're not on firm grounds. If you still can't see where it's ultimately heading then find out the hard way. It won't be instantaneous but gradual.edit on 6-1-2011 by 547000 because: (no reason given)
