Well, IDK about all of this but if someone is standing outside a gay bar or a mostly africam american bar waiting for them to come out so they can beat the tar outta them.. its nothing but hate. IMHO.

People get too neurotic when you talk about sexuality in this country so any evangelicals or neurotics go back to playing with your comic book action figures-cuz you won't be able to handle what I'm saying.

It all depends on what the action of the veteran was and what the action of the pedophile was.
A 19 year-old who diddles a 17 year old is considered
a pedophile in many US states.
Whereas a war veteran who dropped cluster bombs on towns and on children and babies-melting their skin
-is a war hero to some.
That war veteran is a child murderer-that's a fact.
Vietnam war veterans killed tens of thousands of children for no reason.
That is the ultimate sin of the millennium!!!
I mean hello why didn't these people listen to the Beatles, Hendrix,
Ghandi, Jesus, and Buddha and not harm innocents.

Veterans murder -pedophiles diddle -which is worse?
Don't get me wrong. I am against sex with pre-teens
-children should be protected.
But murder is forever, whereas a diddled kid can
live to see another day.
Let's get our values and priorities sorted and
get our collective heads out of the middle ages.



However pedophilia is culture specific.

In Japan-age of consent is 14-Canada too.
In many Buddhists countries the age of consent is even lower because
Buddha taught that sex was allowable once a girl menstruates.
Therefore these countries like Thailand do not have all this guilt about sex.
And these countries are flooded with American businessmen pervs who
are even more out of whack and go for pre-menstruaters.

An 18 year-old guy with a 16 year old girlfriend in the USA is
considered a pedophile
whereas in Canada and Japan it is considered normal.

The USA needs to have more compassionate and enlightened laws.

This is outrageous-
the age of consent should be globally the same-14 or 16 years old!
There are so many backward people in the USA who are guilt-ridden puritanical morons
who turn NATURAL human sexuality into something evil.
That is really sick.
who turn their repressed natural sexuality into violence.

It is also hypocritical.
Many rural Alabama and southern state sheriffs do not arrest incestuous fathers for fear of losing their jobs.

Of course they don't consider the expendable assets as citizens equal under the law,guys politicians all through history have never given much of a damn about their military outside of conquests and empire building.

I think I see the reason why we should not take this too seriously. The source you cite is FOX news. I have watched in utter fascination how this supposed new channel has switched from being the apologist of the Bush administration -- I recall their on air talking heads suggesting that people who spoke out against hte Bush policies were traitors and should be charged with treasons -- to advocating the violent overthrow of the duly elected Obama administration.

This channel invents news by repackaging right wing propaganda into their latest "issue" to go into a screaming tirade over. Please, watch some real news. Read a newspaper. Try a non-American news source. Watch the BBC world news. Watch CSPAN, Once you look at the actual full video of what people like Obama say (on CSPAN for example) , the careful editing to create false impressions on FOX news becomes obvious.

i can't believe my ears. i'm watching Fox news and they are telling me democrats voted to protecting sex offenders of all types in the hate crimes bill but not our military veterans that were in war and coming home from war. this is an outrage

Do you have a link to this?

In the brief amount of time it took me to scour this post it became clear that "sex offender" is what they're calling gay people these days. Throw in a little "they hate the troops" and you have a recipe for panic worthy of the gutter chefs at Fox "News."

All they have to do is put a amendment to the bill. But the dems don't think its necessary. Go figure when child rapist get more protection from the feds. Sounds like normal gov shoot first then ask questions.
