Sounds tenuous. Take Napoleon. He decided to conquer Europe instead.

Don’t know about height but I am quite sure there is an ideological factor here. Most pedophiles are probably liberal democrats.

Women also like taller guys. Could inability to get a date with an adult woman also be one factor in pedophilia? Clearly, it wouldn’t be the only factor, but perhaps it plays some role.

Anyone here watch the “To Catch A Preditor” series on MSNBC? The men in that sting appeared to come from all walks of life, and were of various heights and body types.

I observed the prosecution of numerous pedophiles resulting from Edwin Meese's "Project Looking Glass" stings in the late 80's.

In every case I can recall, the defendants were of short stature, often immature in appearance, quite often noticeably "child like" themselves.

My thoughts exactly!

Where and when will this nonsense ever stop?

Dr. James Cantor:

Study analyses chances of homosexuality
Statistical analysis applied to fraternal birth order effect

by Jessica Whiteside

May 27, 2002 — Roughly one in seven gay men may owe his sexual orientation to the fact he has older brothers, say U of T researchers.

Earlier studies have shown that each additional older brother increases the odds of homosexuality in a younger brother. “This phenomenon, known as the fraternal birth order effect, was first shown by Professor Ray Blanchard [of U of T’s Department of Psychiatry and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health] and has since been confirmed by other scientists,” says CAMH post-doctoral fellow James Cantor. Cantor is co-author of a new study to determine the proportion of gay men whose sexual orientation is due to this effect. “This latest study demonstrates just how important that link is,” says Cantor.

In their study, Cantor and colleagues from U of T and CAMH applied statistical analysis to data collected from a sample of 302 gay men and 302 heterosexual men about the number of siblings each had. According to the researchers, the sexual orientation of about 15 per cent of gay men in the sample could be attributed to the older brother effect. Their analysis also suggests that, in the theoretical case of a boy with two-and-a-half older brothers, he would be twice as likely to be gay as a boy with no older brothers.

The study does not determine a cause of the correlation between homosexuality and having older brothers. However, there is growing evidence in other research that it may be pre-natal in nature, based on findings that gay men with older brothers tend to weigh less at birth than straight men with older brothers.

Published in the February 2002 issue of the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, the study was funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Foundation and the Ministry of Health.

Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin’ great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don’t want no Short People
Don’t want no Short People
Don’t want no Short People
Round here

Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It’s A Wonderful World)

Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick ‘em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin’ peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They’re gonna get you every time
Well, I don’t want no Short People
Don’t want no Short People
Don’t want no Short People
‘Round here

“This study adds to previous research from this team that found pedophiles have lower IQs, are three times more likely to be left-handed, failed school grades significantly more frequently, and suffered more head injuries as children.”

This reminds me of the time I hit my head on the way to remedial reading class while trying to jot down directions with my right hand. (ok, that was corny, I know)

Don’t homosexuals make the same claim? Will homosexuals be saying they should be allowed to molest boys because it’s normal for them to do so?

Do these “scientists” have an agenda, like Kinsey did, and if their heads were measured, would there be a statistically significant extension of the points on their heads of 2 centimeters?

Then the problem can be solved by requiring all short men to walk on stilts.
