Apparently.
But the highest percentage are homosexuals. Just for the record.
7th grade should be an exciting year for you.
The only victims' ages given in the article were 16 and 15 years. Boys who were old enough to have gone through puberty. That is, they would have bodies that were sexually developed. This is not about pedophilia, it is about homosexuals preying on teenagers. Yes, children need to be protected from pedophiles. And teenagers need to be protected from predatory queers.
Just want to know the origin..And, BTW, you never responded to my "nature or nurture" question.
Maybe if it can be caught in time...
The stats are there qwerty. But even if I showed them to you it wouldn't matter, would it? You are locked into your lifestyle, right? Chances are you may be a homely lesbian, or other, but the fact remains, please don't ask society to accept this disorder known as homosexulaity.
I quoted statistics indicating that although homosexuals were only 2% of the population, they represented 25% of the pedophiles.
Then my opponent quoted statistics indicating that homosexuals were 33% of the population, therefore if they made up 25% of the pedophiles, homosexuals were underrepresented.
At the end, I lost the debate, because I had a hostile audience who believed that homosexuals were actually 33% of the population.
Im just saying the above to caution you about playing the game my dad can beat up your dad or my expert statistician can beat up your expert statistician.
Remember that an American wise man said: There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies and statistics.
You are among friends here, and I think you are probably correct. Nevertheless, be careful about arguments based solely on statistics.
What nobody ever mentions is the implicit promiscuity of the girls in that type of sample.
Unless of course we assume the extra boys are doing boys or non High School girls.
The more likely answer is the boys are just engaging in bragging and wishful thinking.
I understand why people get upset with militant homosexual activists; what I don't understand is why we have militant homosexual activists.
The vast majority of pedophiles are heterosexual.However, as a group, the percentage of pederasts in the practicing homosexual population is much higher, per capita, than the general population.
Why do you suppose that is?(ANSWER: See #24 above)
First of all, don't presume I made a choice to be gay. I don't think I did, and you don't know any differently.
I personally have no problems with the Boy Scouts deciding who may and who may not join their organization. (Who is setting this "gay" agenda? Why am I never invited to the super-secret meetings?)
I'm not equating children with flavoring. I said that the organization who put out this article, the Traditional Values Coalition, is basically using this article to whip up anti-homosexual sentiment. And it is. Go click on their website, and you know their agenda in two minutes. Nothing wrong with that, but the way they prop it up with isolated incidents is just a huge logical fallacy example. If it's the kind of idea you agree with already, you lap it up. Simple, but irrational and it fosters a lot of anger and fear. Witness, for instance, all the people on this board who accuse me of supporting pedophiles.
About the Christian groups who speak out about homosexuality and get "shrilled".. you'd have to give me an example.
And don't worry about my sexual choices, please. They don't concern you in the least.
You took the time to write that out, and it never crossed your mind that maybe it wasn't worth it?
Anyway.. I don't know if homosexuality is nature or nurture.. I think probably a little of both.
"Maybe if it can be caught in time..."
Then you'll see parents coming in droves to have it reversed. Oh and hey.. maybe if it's genetic, Traditional Family Values will run a series of articles complaining about gene alteration and how it is as bad as cloning.
Right.
"Chances are you may be a homely lesbian, or other"
LMAO.. well if it comes down to homely or other, count me as "other".
" please don't ask society to accept this disorder known as homosexulaity."
All I demand is equal rights. All I ask is basic civility. In your case, a bit too much to ask for.
