"Paedophilia, the topic of this thread, .....is a civil rights issue???????????????"


The topic of this thread is dictated by the Original Poster.

He begins by referring to the case of a convicted paedophile who is allegedly Gay and representative of the Gay community as a whole.

He implies in his original post, and in later posts spells out literally, that in his view Homosexuals are sexual and social deviants who cannot be trusted to care for children as, being deviants, they have a natural propensity for paedophilia.


Thus he seeks to misinform and slander Gay people.

This is a civil rights iissue as Gay people are a minority who have been on the receiving end of violent suppression for centuries.

As for the roots of "Ignorant"

[Middle English ignoraunt, from Old French ignorant, from Latin ignrns, ignrant-, present participle of ignrre, to be ignorant, not to know; see gn- in Indo-European roots.]


Another similar word is "ignoramus".
