Don F, I understand and share your desire to confront people who are sniping at you, and to stand up to people who would deny civil rights to others. However, a quote I sort of remember from some science fiction book might be appropriate here: "If you listen to the barking of dogs you will go deaf and learn nothing".

Face it, GfS is consistently illogical and usually incomprehensible. Just be glad we don't have to go through life with such poor thinking and communication skills; he/she can't be able to form much of a relationship with anyone. Akenaton can communicate better, but he is lost in his bigotry, and has had all his statements on the this subject proved wrong many, many times in many, many ways. He, for whatever reason, is unable to admit it or to apply any real reasoning to this subject.

GfS, the civil rights of a minority group IS a political issue, so it's relevant to this discussion. HOWEVER—it was Akenaton's persistent use of the expression "liberal fascist" that actually focused the matter on the use of political terminology.

It was Akenaton who diverted the thread, not me.

But I know why GfS is particularly fond of getting on my case. From a bit of information he posted on the Prop. 8 thread, he knows I have his number—I know why this matter, especially the question of choice versus heredity, is so scary for him.

If anyone has unresolved issues around here, it's GfS. And that explains a lot.

"It seems silly and ridiculous to try to justify homosexuality, and introduce political views of that subject"

No-one has - they have responded to ake's original comments on the subject of "promoters of homosexuality" and his impliacation, later literally confirmed, that homosexuals have a natural propensity to paedophilia that heterosexuals don't have.

Finally, Wolfgangs statistics turned out not to show that gay men are more likely to be paedophiles, but that paedophiles are twice as likely to choose girl victims over boys.

McGrath: 'There seem to be two different discussions diverging here, one about political labels and ideologies, and one about issues to do with paedeophilia and about homosexuality.'

Tho 'political', in reference to homosexuality issues were raise by Don, from which I have repeatedly posted that the topic of paedeophilia should be stuck to.

As far as the Fasces, I believe that was another issue(read: topic), reintroduced by Don. It seems that he has issues, yet to resolve, on this matter, which I also suggested to him, that if he wants to broach that subject, that he should do so on another(Prop 8) thread.

I agree that the original topic should be the one discussed, however, being as the name of this thread is, "RE: BS: 'Gay' activists jailed for paedophilia,"

Paedophilia is paedophilia. In this particular case, the crime was done by a homosexual 'activist'. It seems silly and ridiculous to try to justify homosexuality, and introduce political views of that subject, and now have a 'tug of war' trying to separate those two facts, as if to say, one is totally exclusive of the other! Of course, not all homosexuals are paedophiles, and to argue otherwise, is also silly, and ridiculous. That being said, 'Wolfgang' introduced some stats, that show that the percentages of paedophilia, was higher among homosexuals, than those of non-homosexuals. Does anyone remember, what I posted in the 'Prop 8' thread, that the 'tip off' to counselors, to probe into the sexual preference of a patient, was 'emotional immaturity'??

Whether anyone may or may not agree(ignorantly, as well) as to whether or not, that suits their political 'views', is completely 1rrelevant to the truth. Matter of fact, the more one wants to argue that fact, the deeper they demonstrate their boneheaded stubbornness, as to accepting a simple truth. Another simple truth is paedophiles, of either sex, more often choose those to whom are less 'challenge' to them...easier prey, than dealing with an adult, to whom they, the paedophile, would have had to develop a maturity, to deal with, on a mature level. Note: the recent rash of teacher/student incidents, or clergy/child, adult/child victims, to name a few. They need the 'advantage', over their prey/victims.

The fact that I posted that earlier, and now this incident, should be indicative, that my earlier post, was not random, but part of an ongoing pattern, which is well known in the counseling world! Yet still, no matter all the proof in the world, there still are those who argue their pro homosexual views, as if it it is relevant, in this case!! NOTE: IN THIS CASE...get it?..got it?...good!..GfS

Thanks for the clarification, MtheGM. I was unaware that it was a headsman's axe, and assumed from it's appearance that it was a battle axe (the two look pretty similar in most respects). The headsman's axe makes for a more consistent symbol, actually.

As to: "(Not sure they [the sticks] symbolize 'the corporations' per se)," GfS, what I cited came from a direct quote by Benito Mussolini. And as I said, if he doesn't know, then who does?

And presumably they aren't "tied" to a "battleaxe".

I'd imagine that that was a central part of the fascist metaphor.


Ake seems to be implying that the new symbol is one of a load of Fasces tied around a homosexual liberal.

GfS - the first part of my last post that you quote was actually my quoting of a *previous* post to draw attention to its inaccuracy — I was pointing out that it was not a battleaxe but a headsman's axe.

As shown on your currency &c, they are just a symbol of the power of the state, as used by the Romans; but in adapting the name for the movement called 'fascism', the 'fasces' did, as I pointed out, come to symbolise the power of the state to suppress dissent by oppressive means.

"the symbol of the "fasces" a bundle of sticks, symbolizing the corporations, tied around a battle axe, symbolizing the power of the State."

In interests of accuracy, not a 'battle axe', but an executioner's axe: the fasces were originally carried before the Roman consul as a symbol of his power to punish [by flogging with the rods], or even to behead, non-conforming citizens.   I think the point is worth making to emphasise that the essence of fascism is to enforce conformity to the state's requirements by any oppressive means available; rather than simply to spread the ideology by warfare, as taking the axe for a battleaxe presumably implies. The very term "fascism" ∴ means absolute power of the state to prevent dissent by means of institutionalised violence against the non-conforming individual.

For your consideration:Homosexuality and Pedophilia: The False Link

From the article:

Rarely does a pedophile experience sexual desire for adults of either gender. They usually don't identify as homosexual-the majority identify as heterosexual, even those who abuse children of the same gender They are sexually aroused by youth, not by gender. In contrast, child molesters often exert power and control over children in an effort to dominate them. They do experience sexual desire for adults, but molest children episodically, for reasons apart from sexual desire, much as rapists enjoy power, violence and controlling their humiliated victims. Indeed, research supports that a child molester isn't any more likely to be homosexual than heterosexual.

"I think the answer may lie in the fact that heterosexual sex, with its emphasis on procreation and "the family" contains many natural and moral laws on our behaviour."

You know to test this asssertion I think you should do three things.

First - Go to a nightclub and work out the percentage of boys on the pull who are looking for a wife with whom to raise a family and compare that to the numbers loking for a one night stand.

Second - in the morning drop by the family planning centre to count the numbers of girls picking up the morning after pill - and find out what percentage are doing it for the first time ...

Third - go down to the abortion clinic and find out how many young girls there are down there having their little inconvenience removed - and again find out how many are doing it for the first time.


Whilst at the family planning centre or the abortion clinic, see if you can see any evidence whatsoever of the "fathers" of the unwanted embryos being there to offer assistance or indeed trying to persuade their sexual partners to keep the children.

I suggest you'd have better luck finding them the next might looking for another girl in another bar.

According to Benito Mussolini (and he ought to know), the term "corporatism" is preferable to "fascism" because in the corporate/fascist state as he envisioned it, the government and the corporations were completely integrated. Hence the symbol of the "fasces" a bundle of sticks, symbolizing the corporations, tied around a battle axe, symbolizing the power of the State.

It is the liberals and progressives who are trying to keep the United States from becoming a fascist state.   It is the corporations that are trying to control the government. The current battle over health care, with the insurance companies trying to dictate the terms, is a good illustration of the struggle.

Ake's grasp of the facts are tenuous at the best.

Kevin, I understand all that.

I am using "Liberal" in the classical sense. Most thoughtful American liberals hew pretty closely to that definition. Although, within recent years, because many American politicians who style themselves as "liberals" could be more properly referred to as "centrist," so those who correctly regard themselves as classical liberals tend to refer to themselves as "Progressives."

The essential tenets of classical liberalism are fairly succinctly spelled out in the early paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence, and further delineated in the Bill of Rights (first ten amendments to the Consitution).

Dennis Kucinich is a classical Liberal. But most Americans think of him as a Progressive.

I am not talking about what might be called "relative liberalism," where a conservative may be slightly more in favor of certain classical Liberal ideas than most of his conservative colleagues. In the relativistic context, if one were given to irony, one could refer to the storm trooper who, out of a rare spasm of humanity, allows someone to escape rather than hauling them off to the concentration camp as a "liberal fascist."

But I don't think that's what Ake is talking about. He's trying to say that liberals ARE fascists.

In the same way he's trying to claim that all homosexuals are pedophiles.

Talk about Orwellian double-speak!!

"Liberal fascist" is an oxymoron. Which means that it is self-contradictory."

Not necessarily.

The thing is "liberal" is a term than can be, and is, used to refer to just about any political position. For example the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia is an ultranationalist organisation, which is about as far right as you can get. In Australia the Liberal Party are their Conservatives. In America "liberal" appears to be used by fairly extreme rightwingers (who are counted in the States as mainstream), to decribe political positions that elsewhere would be seen as moderate right-of-centre.

Going back to earlier historical meanings, it can be argued that, on a left to right political spectrum, the classic liberal position, on the one hand, and fascism, on the other, are more of less at the centre - the rather significant difference being that fascism is way up the top of the authoritarian spectrum and liberalism is down towards the bottom.

"The financial meltdown and the failure of the US govt's warmongering foreign policy, appears to have been a wake up call to 'Joe Public' who is beginning to question the wisdom of the 'liberalist', ''\rights for all at any cost' mentality." —Ake.

Ake, what planet are you on? The financial meltdown was caused primarily by the diluting and general gutting of a number of regulatory agencies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is supposed to oversee and prevent the kind of wild-ass speculation and balloon-building that led to it. This kind of deregulation has been the goal of the conservatives since FDR, a liberal, first instituted them (lack of regulation also being the primary cause of the Depression of the 1930s).

The U. S. government's war mongering foreign policy, especially within the last couple of decades, has also been do to the policies of the conservatives. It was the Bush administration, led by the policies of the Neo-Conservatives, that precipitated the current wars in Iraq (which had nothing to do with the 9/11 terrorist attack) and Afghanistan, supposedly in answer to such attacks. Full-blown military campaigns against loosely-knit terrorist groups have always failed, being like trying to get rid of a plague of wasps by hitting their nest with a baseball bat.

One can go through point-by-point and show explicitly why the current state of the country—and much of the world—can be directly laid at the doorstep of the Republicans and their conservative policies, beginning with the Reagan administration and culminating with George W. Bush, the hand-puppet, and the cabal of puppet-masters who ran him.

Barack Obama inherited a real mess, and most of the criticism of him has to do with the fact that a couple of decades of racing headlong toward the Dark Ages takes a bit of time to reverse. He has a lot of messes, left by the previous administration, to clean up

Those who talk a lot about what a marvelous "City of the Hill" and glorious example the United States is, talk a very pretty sounding game, but the truth is that the U. S. has a lot of house cleaning to do, along with redirecting both our domestic policy and foreign policy before the U. S. can be any kind of example to the rest of the world.

Akenaton, even in the annals of this one thread, that's an extraordinary pile of bollocks!

My daughters Childminder looks after another little girl who is daughter to a gay couple.

One of them is a doctor, the other a lawyer.

They are committed to each other and to her and they create a warm loving context for their child to grow up in.

Their child is well looked after, loved and happy.


She'll probably grow up to be a lwayer or a doctor and seek out a nurturing and mutually enriching relationship when she is older as that is those are the things that define her home environment.

There are no judgemental bigots in her home poisoning her mind with hate.

Lucky girl.
