Ladies and gentlemen. Pay close attention now because this will not happen often. I was wrong. About what? Well I never said anything on the subject so I suppose the mistake was only in my own head but I was wrong just the same. I have long believed that overzealous god-fans who argued that homosexuality and pedophilia were on the same slippery slope could only think this because they were overzealous, probably repressed, and very limited in their views. What I thought was that only these zealots or the pedophiles themselves would try to put these things on the same level. Only someone who is not rational, not reasonable could attempt to equate the actions of adults and children. But who could blame me? You would have to be totally insane to miss this distinction. Listen people this is really simple. Apply some fucking logic! Two adults can do anyfuckingthing together that they are so inclined do to. It doesn�t affect you. No matter how much you thump your bible. You think God has a problem with it. God will let them know. You don�t want your child exposed to it? Fine. You don�t want to see it you�re going to have to not look. However I will grant you this: It obviously was a slippery slope. There is some scholarly study claiming that maybe it�s not so bad after all. In fact, Pedophilia is such a strong word, we should call it �intergenerational sexual relations� instead. Are you fucking kidding me? Are these jerks serious. And what is there justification? They surveyed a few college kids who had had experience on the receiving end of pedophilia. And they weren�t too fucked up. HELLO!! Is this really news? People are resilient. have these intellectuals never read a readers digest? Because they found 59 college students who didn�t seem particularly fucked up, as if you could even tell, we should feel free to abuse children because, what a stroke of good luck, THEY MIGHT GET OVER IT! Did you know that you have nearly an 80% chance of surviving being shot with a pistol? True fact, but hardly a justification for shooting some one. So there we have it. I was wrong. I thought that only someone completely devoid of rational thought could claim that Pedophilia is morally equivalent to homosexuality and now there is a report prepared by highly educated individuals claiming just that. Research done at an institute of higher learning has done just what the �religious right� feared and what pedophiles everywhere have hoped for. Researchers at a university in this great nation. Hmmm. Perhaps I was right after all.
