Could there be any doubt?

Been reading the papers about the priest problems with boys and wondered, could there be any doubt that homosexual scoutmasters would have been molesting Boy Scouts?

    Steve, you are confusing homosexuals with pedophiles! Not the same thing at all. Whatever you may think of homosexuals, in fact the vast majority are no more likely to molest young boys than you are to molest young girls.

    Other types of mental illness can be cured, why not homosexuality?

    He Dog, would'nt a homosexual scoutmaster guise be a good way for a pedophile to get close to new victims? Could'nt people see that this would be a threat to children?

    No flames here. Homosexuality, in my opinion, is mental illness. I'll even buy into the "born with it" philosophy. After all, people are born with other types of mental abnormalities.

    But to go along with the "sexual orientation" B.S. and to recognize it as just another accepted lifestyle means that before long we'll be having the same argument about necrophilia, *, pedophilia and all the rest of the deviant sexual perversions. How much longer before those acts are considered just another "sexual orientation?" Just another accepted lifestyle?

    In the last three years I have called the Regional and National offices with individuals names that were Boy Scout leaders that had been convicted of Sexual abuse of scouts. I always check the intake info we have on our clients and have been amazed at the number that actually write down they are Scout Leaders. I even had a client who was convicted of molesting a Boy scout ask me "How long before I can go back to being a Scout leader." I told him never and made sure his name was given to the right authorities to ensure he never got near another Boy Scout.

    Why is it whenever people speak of a dislike for homosexuality someone else perceives it as "fear?" "Homophobia?"

    I don't fear them, I am disgusted by them.

    Yes, the other perverse acts I listed ARE illegal, but then, so was homosexuality before the liberals started running the show. If we accept homosexuality as a normal course of life then how long before the other perversions are no longer illegal? It's happening already, with the ACLU and other groups defending people's actions (NAMBLA) that 50 years ago would've got the perpetrator immediately strung-up. How long before THOSE laws are changed and virtually any sexual perversion is just another "orientation?"

    For me, this has nothing to do with religion.

    In my case of fear of homosexuality, it's not.
    It's a hatred. Not without reason.
    You cant honestly say that they do not try to push thier agenda on children. I have basically quit watching television for that reason.
    I am tired of the "gay" shows telling everyone that is perfectly acceptable. I have even heard stories about them teaching it in schools.
    I do agree they have rights just like the rest of us. Thier lifestyle is thier business until they start telling my kids it is the right thing to do. Then it becomes mine.
    As far as God speaking for himself; He already has. Read the book of Romans.

    I have worked with a number of Boy Scout groups in various shooting programs...one rule the Scouts have regarding leaders is that no adult Leader can be alone with a scout at any time, there must always be two adults present. This may not be the perfect failsafe solution, but it makes it very difficult for abuses to occur. Sadly, when an abuse does occur...it receives more pubilicity than the 99.9% where nothing happens.

    Some of you are real queer-lovers...


    I am offended whenever I see anything overtly homosexual (or anything vulgar at all) in a public place. Homosexuality revolts me. However I do not hate all of them, just the types that march in parades and demand special treatment. I have known several that it was impossible to know for sure, so long as they don't bother me they can do as they see fit.

    The question of whether they can be reformed or not ignores
    the switch hitters. In this instance you are talking about people who can make a choice & who can't claim they were born this way.
    Even in the case of a born homosexual there is still the option
    of chastity.
    I tend to agree that as long as long as they don't scare the horses
    what they do in private dosn't concern me. I do take offense when
    they find it necessary to make their actions public. I also take
    offense when they expect me to pay the cost of their medical
    expenses caused when they get AIDS. If what they do is none of my
    bussiness then the cost of what they do is none of my bussiness either.

    Hey guys Homosexuality is GOD's way of saying "AlL right out of the pool(Gene pool that is.) Homosexuality is an unnatural act if it wasn't it would be possible for them to reproduce without going outside their lifestyle. As a Caucasian Heterosexual Unappreciated Male Patriot (C.H.U.M.P.) I call on all my fellow CHUMPs to join me in expressing our disgust with the present state of our nation and take back our rightfull place in society by boycotting all television shows that feature gay (And I remember when it meant happy) lifestyles (Male only cause I likes 2 watch young attractive nekid womens swappen spit)

    Hey, Saxon, ya never got back to me on that "other" BB with my last post on queers. Were you too busy? Or was I hitting on too many cylinders for ya? For those of you who aren't aware of what we were fuminating over:

    http://perfectunion.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1349

    Just to reiterate what I said there, realistically, there really only ARE two political philosophies. If you support queers, you are also supporting gun control, world government, and socialism. I wish the issues could be seperated, but I regret it seems it is a "package deal".

    For the record, I couldn't care less if the queers "f" each other 'til the cows come home. Homophobic? Well, the liberals love to use this term, because they love to paint macho guys as being secretly cowards. I prefer (AND USE!) the term, "homorevoltic", which much better reflects my feelings and denies the liberal scum thier little jab. Where I have a problem is when they feel they have to shove their lifestyle CHOICE (not reality) on everyone else. And yes, putting queers into the woods with young boys is a VERY bad idea.

HOMOSEXUALITY WAS LISTED AS A MENTAL HEALTH DISORDER UP UNTIL THEN IN THE DSM 3 REVISED. THE DSM IS THE BIBLE OF MENTAL DISORDERS FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS. THE REASON IT IS NO LONGER LISTED IS THROUGH LOBBYING ORGANIZATIONS LIKE ACT-UP & GAYLA.THE GAY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS I WORKED WITH ALSO HAD GREAT PULL WITHIN THE HEALTHCARE TEAM SO NO DISCUSSION WAS ALLOWED ON THIS ISSUE AS DEVIATE BEHAVIOR. MOST OF THE 6 OR SO PEOPLE I WORKED WITH NEVER SEEMED VERY HAPPY AT ANY GIVEN TIME. ALSO THE RESEARCH YOU STATE HAS TO DO WITH BLOOD /D.N.A TAKEN FROM GAY MEN WHO ALREADY HAD AIDS SO OF COURSE THEY WERE GENTIC MUTATIONS. I ALSO KNOW PEOPLE WHO ARE NO LONGER GAY SO SAY WHAT U WILL.

    Nor did you address my points, Pig. You told me that I "still don't get it" but you ignored all the points I made in my posts. Who's being narrowminded now?

    The homosexual agenda is being carried out just like the gun control agenda. A little bit at a time until the whole deed is done.

    Today a large portion of the population has been indoctrinated into treating homosexuals like another discriminated-against minority. Political correctness tells us we should accept them as a normal part of life.

    Tomorrow it'll be the pedophiles, the necrophiliacs, the people who practice * who the liberals will be defending and anyone who disagrees with their perverted ways of life will be labeled a bigotted hate-monger

    I am not a biologist who has studied this topic, so I cant really say whether homosexuality is nature or nurture. But when you consider those who practice bi-sexuality, one can certainly make the argument that it is a "learned" behavior.
    I found SCREWED UPs comment about how homosexuality has been removed from the "mental illness category", very interesting. It is very possible that the medical and scientific community can be swayed into offering an opinion based on pressure from "special intrest groups"
    Case in point: When the Aids epidemic started, it was located predominantly in California, with a high percentage of aids carriers living in San Francisco. It was also noticed that it was homosexuals who were being infected with the disease(at the beginning, only homosexuals were getting the disease). It soon became apparent that homosexual activity was causing this epidemic, and there was much talk about closing thge bath houses down, because everyone knew what was going on in there. The city was planning on putting out public service announcemtns, basically telling the homsexual community that there behavior is spreading a deadly disease. The city officials were going to close the bath houses down., but the homosexual community went nuts. They felt that the public service announcemtn, plus the closing of the bath houses, was an attack on their lifestyle. It was decided(by Barbera Boxer or Dianne Feinstein, whoever was mayor at the time)to not close the houses, and to offer a public service announcemtn which said ALL sexual behavir(hetero and homo) placed you at risk.This was all done so not to offend the homosexual community. Now what this did was make EVERYONE virtually ignore the announcement. I mean, who is going to stop havin sex? If the announcement specifically targeted homosexuals, then homosexuals might have listened a little better, and took action to prevent the chance of getting aids. But by saying EVERYONE was at risk, it was basically ignored. So because of the "politics" of not wanting to offend the homosexuals, homosexuals continued their destructive behavior, and many contracted the disease.The truth was ignored, because the truth was too politically "offensive" for the administration.
    The health of the community was not the issue-the issue was making sure no one was offended by the truth-and many people contracted that disease because of that politically correct policy.

    Thanks Clouder, I will never say you did not warn me.

    Steve45. I think you are still mixing homosexuality with pedophilia. Indeed being a scout master would be a good way for a pedophile to get close to children. But, and it is a big but, pedophiles are not necessarily oriented toward boys or girls, some are, but many just like children, and they frequently do in fact work in vocations or avocations where they have access to children. In the loosest sense, I suppose those that like only boys are homosexual pedophiles, but does that somehow make them worse than the pedophiles that like only little girls? I cannot imagine anyone, except a pedophile, defending the actions of pedophiles. They are reprehensible in the extreme.

    On some other points: The children raised by gay couples are not more likely to be gay than the children raised by straight couples, even those that hate gays. It is still 3%-5%. That argues that it is more likely nature. If in fact there is a genetic component, which is unknown at this time, but will be known, I would predict the percentage of gays increases as human population increases. Because homosexual behavior occurs in many species of animals, other primates as well as hoofed stock for example, one would have to argue that there must be a genetic component, since it is hardly likely that anyone would accuse cows of embracing perversion.

    You may think of gays as you wish. My purpose is not to convert everyone to a tolerant attitude, but rather to say simply that pedophiles and gays are not the same thing at all.

    Dano, I am sorry if I too misunderstood you. I also took your suggestion of a solution as very dark, and if that is not what you meant, I apologize for jumping to a conclusion. If it was what you meant, you are certainly entitled to your opinion on the matter, and I too will be disappointed.

    Given some of the past threads on controversial and polarizing issues, I am extremely impressed to see that this thread did not degenerate in to serious flaming! No serious personal attacts, just mostly a discussion of opinions.
