You'd think that putting it in bold type and using excessive exclamation points would make it clear that I was making fun of the smug know-it-alls who are ignorant of educated grammar. So tell me, how should I have expressed it so you would have realized that I was mocking the people in denial about the worthlessness of their education rather than being serious and criticizing you instead? Would I have had to be undeniably clear by saying, "Watch it. The Netwits will call you a Grammar Nazi for that."
How can homosexual possibly be a verb, as in, "He picked up that guy and later homosexualed him," or, "If you want to get promoted by your Gay boss, you will have to homosexual him"?
I'm assuming he left of the ad and meant to type adverb, even though technically that is not correct either, since the adverb is homosexually. You know when I was in school I thought diagramming sentences was stupid, but now that I'm an adult I think it's a damned shame that people can't look at a sentence like "the homosexual man had gay sex with another man" and properly identify the parts of speech.
Your numbers should be zero. The Boytoy Scouts are a disgrace and should be disbanded for caving in to tolerance of the intolerable. Even if Gays aren't pedophiles, they want to brainwash the next generation into believing that Gay Is OK.
So to whit, you wish to disband a private organization that made the decision to allow gay children? LOL I mean feel free to keep your boy out of the scouts if you wish, but you do understand that a private organization should have the right to allow who they want right? I would have been pissed if the government would have forced the BSA to allow gays, but that's not what happened, they CHOSE to.
Well much as I'm far from being his biggest fan, I think Grokmaster handled it more positively. He pointed out I'd made a mistake, I accepted it and moved on. I wish more people could do that on here. Bear in mind it's probably not the sort of mistake I would have made thirty years ago when I was still in college but I'm in my fifties and I had a senior moment. I'm not ashamed to admit that.
Seriously, outside of some ball busting I think most people on here don't get too worked up over grammatical errors. Not unless they are egregious and repeated.
I don't mean to offend you because of your wishful-thinking blindness, but what your organization has done disgusts me. I still have the right to be disgusted, don't I? Or has that right been taken away because my disgust might offend a protected group?
What was that about nasty personalities? - - - Updated - - - You have a right to be as disgusted as you want to be. Have at it!
Of course you have a right to be disgusted. Your right to be disgusted however, does not include the ability to shut down, or silence those who disgust you. That is the part you seem to be confused about.
And that's probably one of the reasons boys get abused more than girls. We have an inbuilt sense that they can better protect themselves even though, in reality, that's probably far from the truth.
All your cynicism and "point scoring" aside, I admit I was wrong on that. The difference between homosexual as an adjective and a noun stands though. To trivialise that suggests a fundamental lack of understanding.
Hilariously ridiculous and unneccessary attempt to save face on your part, after YOU admonished someone else to "get educated". Can't buy comedy that good. Dunno who you think you're "lecturing" about it. I have no problem differentiating between ANY of the uses of the word, unlike you, OBVIOUSLY. - - - Updated - - - Yes, I am such a big sweetie pie!!
But not to be ignored, it is to which sex they prefer to engage in their pedophilia. Most boys are molested by homosexual pedophilies. One is certainly more difficult to prevent than the other. We don't allow men to supervised, at least in most cases without women involved, little girls do we. Why because of the possible sexual abuse that could occur. How to monitor and prevent that with a homosexual male who engages in pedophilia is much more difficult. No one has said otherwise but why do you get so defensive about it? Are you trying to make the absurd assertion that homosexuals cannot for some unknown reason be pedophils? Yes so what? And homosexual pedophilies engage in sex with those of their own sex. Why so defensive about that? Certainly don't know that to be true most of my anecdotal knowledge says otherwise. Most are caught having engaged in sex with one or the other with a few bisexual pedophiles.
If you don't draw that conclusion from his comments as a whole in this thread it's because either A) you don't want or B) you do agree, but are dishonestly denying it.
ahem sec makes no such assertions. I simply quote the numbers and let them speak for themselves. There will always be those, such as yourself who will argue that water isn't wet and ice isn't cold. When 8 million adults account for 1 million cases of pedophilia that is a propensity; like it or not. The numbers speak for themselves
SEC you may not SPECIFICALLY say "gays are more likely to be pedophiles than straights" but your posts certainly prove you believe that to be true.
That's YOUR conclusion not his, nowhere does he say what you are asserting your are attempting to put words in is mouth stop being so defensive about it. - - - Updated - - - I think it was a herring and it was red.
again I repeat 2 million cases of pedophilia committed by those who say they are heterosexual. There are 220 million adult heterosexuals in the USA 1 million cases of pedophilia committed by those who say they are homosexual. There are 8 million non heterosexual adults in the USA you do the math
No he has NOT said that at all. But's lets hear what you have to offer. Of all sex crimes committed by males what percentage is against boys? What percentage of the male population engages in homosexuality?
Sexual orientation is irrelevant to the age most Boy Scouts are. Basically, the new rule is allow all boys in. That said, if any sexual action happens on a Scout outing, all involved are kicked out. Also, honestly, gays are maybe 3% of the population. The Troop I help out with has about 40 boys. More than likely we have a gay scout. That's not a big deal to me. Personally, I just wish that they had left the gay decision up to the troops. Allow liberal troops to have gay scouts, and allow conservative troops to not allow them. One thing, I generally find that the more rabidly anti-gay someone is, the more they are fighting such urges themselves........
Yeah Im sure that must be the problem with these parents of the molested boys opposed to a gay scoutmaster. .
Those who have sex with people of the same sex, are more likely to molest children. regardless of what you would like to label those who have sex with people of the same sex. Shouldn't be surprising that those who disregard societal norms as to which gender one has sexual relations with, also disregards societal norms as to what age group one engages in sexual relations with.
