That's the way they think. To them, nothing is more odious than a parent who believes that their kids are their kids, to be brought up how they see fit - what all this really means, is that *they* want to be able to deconstruct the familial ties, values, mores and memes that transmit culture and civilization - and not incidentally, happy, long productive lives - and tear them down, via "sins" that we all know are counterproductive. This is why homeschooling is so popular, for a start.

Psychiatrist Charles Moser of San Francisco's Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality

San Francisco's ....Why am I not surprized?

Wasn't the APA the group that actually stated, in their Journal, that man/boy sex was good for the child? (Within the last 24 months)

The American Psychiatric Association has been controlled by occultists for decades...longer.

This would be the ultimate evil. I can't believe Americans would stand for this.

But it explains Woody Allen.

We all knew this was coming. They're testing the waters and preparing to desensitize the public with the usual arguments. It appears their activist element is ready to lead the charge.

This is chilling: In previous articles, psychiatrists have argued that there is little or no proof that sex with adults is necessarily harmful to minors. Indeed, they have argued that many sexually molested children later look back on their experience as positive, Nicolosi said.

Apparently, molestation is good for children.

"And other psychiatrists have written, again in scientific journals, that if children can be forced to go to church, why should 'consent' be the defining moral issue when it comes to sex?" she said.

So, if you can force them to go to church, the psychiatrists think that's the same as molesting them sexually? The two APA's are a very sick bunch, both now under the influence of their own pedophile element. This is how they got sodomy removed from the DSM decades back.

You really start to wonder why anyone even bothers to have children in this society. It's not as though anyone respects the wishes or ideas of parents. Across the board, society is aligned against parents making any meaningful decision.

People whose sexual interests are atypical, culturally forbidden or religiously proscribed should not necessarily be labeled mentally ill, they argued.

I agree with this. They are not mentally ill. They are sane criminal scum.

In other words if you don't like the fact that you are mentally ill you can protest the APA (homosexuality 1973) and have it taken off.

And, indeed, I was just remembering when I was in elementary school in the early '70s, and heard a news story about removing homosexuality from "the book of mental disorders."

It sounded eerily similar to this one.

Wait and see -- the Roman Polanski will become the poster boy for this movement, to give us the idea that it's "normal" man-girl stuff, as opposed to a NAMBLA initiative.

Psychiatry is not a science, it's an agenda

Well said. Can you imagine astronomers gathering to "debate" whether they would recognize gravity as a force of nature? If psychology does not use the scientific method, then uses political lobbying and debate in its place, how can it hope to be considered a science?

The most laughable thing of all is to see two psychologists sitting in a courtroom, arguing precisely opposing conclusions based on the same set of facts. Every time one of them speaks, there should be a laugh track.

Removing it as a mental illness is NOT condoning it, any more than saying murderers are not necessarily mentally ill. If you have a victim, it's still a crime.

You mean like when your pathology was wrongly removed from the DSM and sodomy laws were dropped from more than half the states becuase of that? You wouldn't know a slippery slope if it bit you in the ass.

You've got a bit of a flair for the dramatic. Have a donut or something while you wait.

I'm pretty sure he just ignores sniping reprobates but who knows.

Find a "victim" of adult consensual sodomy.

"You wouldn't know a slippery slope if it bit you in the ass."

You wouldn't know a logical fallacy if it (fill in with whatever childish taunt you like).

The Sodomites and society...too easy.

Your perversion prevents any rational logic from your mentally ill mind, hope you seek help some day.

Because I'm not the reprobate? Just guessing. Your illness again blinds even simple discourse.

Back to school, Clint. List "society's" rights. After you leave a blank there, list the rights of the sodomites that are being trampled when they engage in consensual sodomy.

"Your perversion prevents any rational logic from your mentally ill mind, hope you seek help some day."

Sadly, Clint... this ad hominem is the best you can do.

But you post to me again and again. The cognitive dissonance is building to a fever pitch in your head, isn't it?

Everything left after the 10th amendment.

Sodomy is not a right in many states.

Sadly, Clint... this ad hominem is the best you can do.

Truth is not ad hominem.

Just trying to help you find reparation.

If that's what your pathology tells you, I understand.

"Everything left after the 10th amendment."

Wow. You think society has rights.

Actually, only individuals have rights.

"Sodomy is not a right in many states."

Yeah. And ownership of guns isn't a "right" in some states. You agree with that too?

"Truth is not ad hominem."

Your concept of truth bears little to no resemblance to reality. Aside from that, truth CAN be ad hominem. You didn't know?
