Your report cites 73% not 76%. I confess I've had sex with a girl under age 18 in my life. Put me down in your hetero research. Oh you say you don't have any hetero research on that stat. Does the stat include when the respondant was in the same age group as the "victim." Do you think an 18 year old having sex with a 17 year old is molestation? This is indicative of the misuse of research by the folks of your ilk. You cite numbers and when someone looks into it, you cannot draw the same conclusion. Typical of zealots and propagandists.
Your mental health issue is ridiculous and not backed up by any intelligent thinking person. Shall we go outside and take a poll? There are many things that have been considered mental illness historically which are not now seen as such. If you think the decision to remove the designation was a political one. you may be right and just ignorant as to what "political" means. Our elections and our government are mostly political for example.
The owner does not like things homosexual. He has removed threads which had positive things to say about homosexuality including research. He has allowed namecalling and personal attacks including nazi and gestapo when referring to activists, we may disagree with. He has however, to his credit, banned at least one poster who called for violence. Homos and muslims are people you can excoriate and personally attack here with no sanction.
You've been here 1 month longer than I, how many posts that support homosexual rights or interests have you seen posted? It may be religious to blast homosexuality, but it is not necessarilly conservative. In fact, I argue that it is unamerican to paint all individuals in a category with the same brush. And when the paint is inaccurate of false, it is dishonest.
You're correct. I was quoting from memory and didn't go back to the other thread to get the right number. My fault. (just installed firebird and haven't had time to play with the tabbed browsing yet. Looks like it will be a great help.) Of course 73% is just as abominable as 76% when it comes to molesting.

So did I but I was also under 18.
Oh you say you don't have any hetero research on that stat.
see scripters database. The numbers for hetero molestations are included also.
Does the stat include when the respondant was in the same age group as the "victim."
Yes
Do you think an 18 year old having sex with a 17 year old is molestation?
depends on circumstance. Usually not but sometimes yes. It is however statuatory rape.
Your mental health issue is ridiculous and not backed up by any intelligent thinking person.
Once again see scripter's database for the articles on this. There are a large number of psychiatrists who split from the APA over this. Also many with the org that disagree with it.
Shall we go outside and take a poll?
How many people qualified to make that distinction would be walking past your house right now? not many I guess. Most of them have never read the applicable portions of DSM III, the revised portions of DSM IV or the history behind the issue. Of course in my neighborhood everyone would agree with me. I have the benefit of living in a very Christian small town
Glad to hear that JR knows the truth. (I suspected strongly but didn't know)
Since the breakem screen name is only since 8/24/2001 who were you before? I've been here since 7/8/1998. I lurked for a while before that though.
Not when the category is based on behavior. We can, for example, paint murderers with a broad brush. They are a self-selecting group.
You have confused a behavior for a trait.
Shalom.
