Hey Reich wing culture warriors, what do you have against Trans people?

I've seen it. That does not make it a good thing for children to see. If this stuff was around when I was 5 or 6, my hand would have 10 inch long hair and my pecker would have fallen off. How much hair is on your hand?

 

IMO, it is one thing to educate children who reach a certain age to be tolerant of defective queer humans. I'm totally in favor of that. It is another thing to teach children that these defective queer people with chemical or mental problems ARE NORMAL and how to join in on their deviant lifestyle.

Queers have been around forever. They will continue to be born. Right now it is the "in" thing for kids to be queer. IMO, encouraging queer behavior in any way is something that is ruining America.

I like to watch the queers perform, march, protest, and rage. What a hoot! It is scary. However, many of them are the nicest folks you can meet.

PS Hacksaw Ridge was a movie about a heroic queer in WW II who won the Medal of Honor. He was a better person than I'll ever be.

 

It is not a complicated question at all. Are you an educated person? The answer is on the internet. Do you have a computer?

Something very funny is going on around here. You are answering a few questions YET you are trying to squirm away from one above with the usual spin and malarkey of your ilk. You also will not answer several direct questions from me about what you post such as "Is Joe Bided a Liar."

Are you of a foreign nationality? D0 you raise goats? Are you special? Do you think you can join a group of knowledgeable folks and post your monkey business but only to certain questions?

 

Yet it is being done, not exceedingly anything, and IT IS BEING RECOMMENDED and PUSHED by your ilk.

 

@CoinOKC found it, and I deleted it. I'm not sure how he found it, but maybe you can convince him to send you the link if you're really that interested in defending that kind of trash. If my memory serves me well, Playboy magazine was downright classy compared to this content, and even Penthouse and Hustler were more acceptable.

 

Because it depicted human sexuality? Remember that the book is 240 pages long, and there's only 2 or 3 explicit pages. Can you really not see how they might serve a narrative purpose in the greater context?

 

2 or 3 pages are too many for the wrong audience. The libraries know it, the author knows it, and you know it.

 

Oh please. You can find the pics on the internet if you want. Stop defending this trash and the people who purvey it to little children. It’s absolutely disgusting.

 

In the true context particularly in this day and age, had I handed that literature to a child visiting my home, I would forever more be targeted as a child molester. And that’s just the facts.

 

I hadn't even considered it from that perspective, MD. That is so true . . . Best answer of the day.

 

I do not know that to be true any more than banning books generally. Should we ban A Clockwork Orange, The Diary of Anne Frank, and even the Bible for a few parts that are inappropriate?

You can't change society to your whims, you can only control what goes on in your house. Surely you'd tell your kid not to look at stuff you disapprove of on the internet, but yet you'd let them access the internet all the same. Just have a conversation about these kinds of books if you don't want them reading it, but don't try to enforce it on everyone else.

 

This is not some relativistic exercise based on precedent. I already responded to this question regarding text-only versus pictures / illustrations, and the propensity of youngsters to ignore one and ogle the other. You know damn well that if photos or illustrations of relevant sections were included in a copy of A Clockwork Orange, The Diary of Anne Frank, or sure . . . even The Bible, the treatment of those books would be very different from how they are treated today. Don't be so disingenuous.

 

I don't buy the argument that pictures make the difference. Kids have notoriously strong imaginations. I think you're being disingenuous by not addressing the definition of pornography as being meant to arouse the viewer/reader explicitly, and blanket dismissing anything that doesn't suit your sensibilities (even when taken out of context) as pornography.

 

Call it pornography, or not. I couldn't care less what it's called.

For the sake of this discussion, what it's called is not nearly as important as the acknowledgement that leapfrogging the organic learning process by prematurely exposing children to ideas and practices beyond their comprehension is bound to be overwhelming and counterproductive.

 

It's not leapfrogging anything. That's the point. Kids know about this stuff already and books like these help them engage with these feelings in safe but meaningful ways. The worst thing you could possibly do is try to shelter them entirely from it, then they become interested in the forbidden but aren't equipped with knowledge of how to handle these things safely. On a related issue, it's why study after study has shown comprehensive sex education programs are far more effective than abstinence only education in reducing teen pregnancy.

 

I'm at the point where you have lost any credibility you may have had with me. Not even a shred remains.

 

IT TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH! Anyone who will not answer a direct question relating to something they believe and post is worthless to post with. I question their motives, manhood, knowledge, and especially their character. There are three of them on PL.

 

That's a complete BS reply! Leapfrogging is exactly the reason so many kids today know so much more at such an early age.

If you liberals weren't so damned obsessed with pushing the bounds of social acceptability, these kids would more likely have healthier respect for a mature sexual relationship, . . . no, correction . . . for all relationships, and they would also likely have greater reservations about prematurely engaging in activities for which they are ill-prepared.

 

What evidence do you have to support this?

I ask because, for an example, teen pregnancy is at an all time low. It seems like kids always knew about things they were ill prepared for. You might even say arming them with knowledge instead of treating knowledge as forbidden helps them make better choices.

 

Shifty reply . . . You know damned well how different sex education is from reproductive education.
