I'm truly glad, madg. I had a wonderful Christmas also.
It's not for no good reason, madg. Homosexuals right now are looking for ways to teach my children (directly and indirectly) that things like anal intercourse between men are normal and healthy. I completely reject that. I call you disordered simply because I believe that you have a disorder - and I want to protect my children from those who would teach otherwise. I also do honestly believe that recognizing that you have a disorder (like an alcoholic so recognizing) is the first step toward freedom from it.
I believe you, madg. Those are good things you mention. But a great and good part of life is missing to you. I hope that one day God might show you that those things are available to you as well.
Its about time.
What point are you attempting to make? I doubt the desires that spawned NAMBLA disappeared any more that communists disappeared with the Soviet Union. Those for whom NAMBLA was a desirable presence have most likely scurried elsewhere and continue to practice their predatory ways. Your attempt imply otherwise makes me wonder about your actual motives.
There was a case not to long back, where a 30 something woman school teacher had sex with one of her fourteen year old male students. She was given probation.
My guess is most are using the term NAMBLA to refer to homosexual pedophiles as well as the organization to which they do/did belong. Who really cares if NAMBLA exists or if their dispicable advocates have organized elsewhere under another banner? We know they are still out there targeting innocents. Or perhaps you think their desires ebbed when their natures were exposed?
You are not comprehending and I'm wondering if you are doing it on purpose. In other words, I wonder if you have some agenda you're not sharing, something hidden. So let's try once more.
You assert NAMBLA is no longer active as an organization. It no longer exists in any menaingful way. I'll admit I wasn't aware of that until you pointed it out. My guess is others weren't either. I accept your assertion both because you back it up with facts and it makes sense. Former members would be wise to distance themselves that unpopular group with unconscionable objectives. For many years, NAMBLA flew "under the radar" of decent society. Now that they've been outed, it is understandable they've scurried away. Rats flee sinking ships.
It is my contention that the scum that was NAMBLA now ply their trade under a different banner. They haven't given up their predatory natures. They still want sex with boys. A while back, there was a thread here on FR listing 200 or so terms homosexuals have for teenage/underage boys. Like the eskimoes with snow, a culture will have many different names for those things and ideas that are most important to it. The more names, the greater the importance.
If the Communist Party USA changed its name to the Progressive Party USA because communism became so tarnished they were unable to hold current members or recruit new ones, I'd say that was a distinction without a difference. And if you started attacking my arguments by screaming that the Communist Party USA no longer existed and therefore what I wasy saying was invalid, I'd suspect you of having a hidden agenda. I can remmeber when Nissan was called Datsun in this country. I can remember when Exxon was called Esso. People continued using the terms Datsun and Esso long afterward. That's just the way people are. Everybody still knew what they were talking about.
I will continue to use the term NAMBLA because I don't know the name of the organization they have morphed into, but I'm certain there is one. Quasi-NAMBLA and NAMBLA-like are clumsy and unnecessary as everybody, excepting you apparently, will know what I mean. Far from being the red herring you assert, using "NAMBLA" focuses the debate rather than diverting it. The term NAMBLA has taken on a generic meaning over the past few years and can be rightfully used to describe both actual members of the former organization and others who were not members but shared a common interest in homosexual pedophilia.
The question I have for you is why are you so hell-bent that NAMBLA be removed from our lexicon? Are you trying to convince us that the threat of organized pederasty died with NAMBLA? Are you somehow interested in promoting the homosexual agenda?
