brandon4582 : With what? Do you agree with what his friend said or are you agreeing with the other posts here? Might want to clarify.

Yeah, I mean people view things a lot differently, although some may not be as easily.... understood. I disagree with his statement(s) for a variety of reasons. For one, his views of homosexuality and pedophiles shows his complete ignorance. For one, pedophiles are not necessarily always gay, and for another, gays usually don't go for little kids.In my opinion, somebody should no of what they speak about or at least have SOME sort of clue before they believe so strongly about something like this but that's just me.

catfight09 : "usually don't go for little kids"...
Yeah, no. Unless they ARE a pedo, they do not go for little kids, Nya~.

Anyways, as for your friends opinion, I think he was trying to state that they are the same because they are "unnatural" attractions. However, he would surely be wrong, being that being a homosexual does not mean you have an unnatural attraction, since it is proven to be natural.

Although, he was probably trying to be rude and close minded, trying to say they are both wrong and disgusting, which would lead him to being wrong. Only being a pedo is wrong.

Being gay and being a pedophile are definitely different things.  If you are out in the city, you can notice that gay people live normal lives, just like straight people.  There really is not anything different about them.  On the other hand, pedophiles are very wrong and don't have normal lives.

I don't really think it is constructive for that friend to think that. As a christian I don't like homosexuality but I don't hate homosexuals. I have seen certain statistics that show quite a few pedophiles in the gay community but I don't automatically equate pedophiles with homosexuality.

I think your friend is just an ignorant christian.. what else can I say his argument makes no sense and was probably fed those ideas by his parents or someone close to him.

Hoochman :   I agree with you.  Homosexuality is wrong entirely to me.  I hate homosexuality, but not necessarily the people that are homosexual. 

I've heard of this claim as well.  Most state that if homosexuality is accepted or were ever made legal, then what's to say that a 35 year old guy cannot date/have sexual content with a 6 year old boy.  Since it is the 35 year old's sexual preference, why can't he have sexual relations with the 6 year old boy. 

That usually the case.  In both matter's I am greatly disturbed and sometimes disgusted by the thought, but people are who they are and you can't change them, but I at the very least( showing compassion for homosexuals) believe that if you're to homosexual do it within the same age group at the very least.

You see, the biggest flaw in that ignorant statement is that you were trying to imply that all homosexuals are pedophiles. You are completely wrong on that, Nya~.

Just because pedophilia and homosexuality are both sexual preferences doesn't mean that legalizing one would lead to the legalization of the other. And to argue otherwise is simply absurd. Homosexuality can occur without a victim, pedophilia cannot.

Off-topic: I love the search engine keywords.

MegaRevolution1 :   I mean no offense to homosexuals.  I was merely stating what I had heard.  By no means does it mean that all homosexuals are pedophiles, but from what I've heard it's just based off sexual preference, and many people say that if homosexuals are allowed their "rights"  then what's to say people with other sexual preferences should be denied.

There is a huge difference between homosexuals and pedophiles.

Homosexuals are simply people that are attracted to members of the same sex. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with being this way. Anyone that states otherwise is simply feeling prejudices based on their fear of things which look or act differently than they.

Pedophiles are sick animals, much like a dog with rabies or distemper, that are a danger to themselves and others around them. They prey on children, whom are typically incapable of understanding what is happening to them until it is too late, causing them usually irreparable damage psychologically and even physically. In my honest opinion, if someone would seek to cause any sort of harm to those that cannot defend themselves or do not know any better, then they do not possess a fully functioning brain. They should be treated as if they were both mentally disabled and incapable of functioning in normal society. Ergo, pedophiles should be locked up in asylums.

mr.pace : Well first, read what Smeagol just said. Second, what you hear I assume is from the close minded and ignorant christians who want everything done their way. Partly out of "gods" word, but also out of a hitler like state where they want an absolute world that's perfect based off of what their leader wants (I know I'll get a ton of hate for that statement, but that's just the lengths I'd need to make that known). Homosexuality is a preference you don't control. It's determined based on your genes, much like hair color, eye color, etc.
Pedophilia, however, is basically exactly what Smeagol said above this.
Plus, while homosexuality does no harm to anyone, pedophilia does, as Smeagol said.
Nobody in their right mind would advocate for pedophilia just because homosexuality is legalized.

That's crap and you have to question the intelligence of anyone who believes that. I'll steal something from a Facebook group-

"Most pedophiles are gay.
An especially pernicious myth is that most adults who sexually abuse children are gay. A number of researchers have looked at this question to determine if homosexuals are more likely to be pedophiles than heterosexuals, and the data indicate that's not the case.
For example, in a 1989 study led by Kurt Freund of the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry in Canada, scientists showed pictures of children to adult gay and straight males, and measured sexual arousal. Homosexual men reacted no more strongly to pictures of male children than heterosexual men reacted to pictures of female children.

A 1994 study, led by Carole Jenny of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, surveyed 269 cases of children who were sexually molested by adults. In 82 percent of cases, the alleged offender was a heterosexual partner of a close relative of the child, the researchers reported in the journal Pediatrics. In only two out of 269 cases, the offender was identified as being gay or lesbian.

"The empirical research does not show that gay or bisexual men are any more likely than heterosexual men to molest children," wrote Gregory M. Herek, a professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis, on his website. Herek, who was not involved in the 1989 or 1994 studies, compiled a review of research on the topic."

It's complete crap. I feel like he was grossed out by it so he lumped it with something else that grosses him out. One thing I don't get is why he excluded bisexuals. They can also partake in homosexual actions, etc.

Local Mods : Ignore words since 90% of the post is copy/paste?
