Durus, cultural marxists don’t have a monopoly on debate without intellectual honesty. It happens here quite often. Someone makes a statement, can’t or won’t back it up, and people jump on anyone who questions it with name calling and accusations. That’s being intellectually lazy, at best.
And there’s certainly nothing wrong, in my opinion, of asking where someone heard or leaned or gathered their information, especially in light of your statements above.
Unfortunately, you flipped to the last page of this metaphorical book (the discussion about whether gays commit most sexual abuse) in your statements about HR, the IRS, etc. You have no idea why I asked for a source and instead made a flawed, unfair assumption.
For the rest of you, I looked up some information on sexual abuse. 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys have reported being sexually abused according to the Crimes Against Children Research Center. I’ve no idea which way this research center leans, politically. Hopefully it’s apolitical. But, for the sake of Durus’ argument about cultural marxists, according to the Religious News Service, the author Anna Salter reports that 38% of women were molested before the age of 18. 16% of men make the same claim. There’s also a claim that it’s 1 in 4 girls, 1 in 6 boys thrown around.
So, let’s roughly average the two sets of claims (from the two research studies above) for neutrality, because even conservative research can be highly biased - I claim that more girls than boys are molested.
So, are lesbians molesting all these girls? I have no clue. Based on the poster unread’s claim that “in nearly every case of sexual abuse on children it’s almost always the queers who are the offenders”, I will assume this claim is based on what people read here about child p*rn stings, Catholic priests, and random news articles.
And I will now ask, if homosexuals are in fact the primary molesters of kids, where does the higher number of girls being sexually abused come into this statement? Is it because there’s more evidence? More encouragement to come forward? Again, I don’t know.
I didn’t know any of this data about sexual abuse prior to my original request for some stats. It’s depressing and eye-opening.
With respect I disagree. Not wanting to be drawn into a debate is not intellectual dishonesty.
And there’s certainly nothing wrong, in my opinion, of asking where someone heard or leaned or gathered their information, especially in light of your statements above.
I only tried to explain why people can't become cynical with questions.
You need to re-read what I wrote. I was explaining the basis of cynicism not accusing of anything, therefore you in fact are making an unfair assumption.
Bold is mine...which would account for the large difference in the level of boys versus girls being molested
Obviously males molest girls far more than women do which would account for the higher number of girls being molested...
It's pretty easy to infer from the numbers that homosexuals are far more likely to molest boys
Thanks for getting back to me...
I've never been accused of being a cleaver fellow but... using your figures it would seem that homos being, what, 5% of the population (roughly) leaving 95% being straight, and considering that 1 in 4 girls as compared to 1 in 6 boys being abused would mean that queers are, by FAR AND AWAY more likely to be child molesters then straight folk....
That is assuming boys on girls and boys on boys... Am I wrong..??
I had two grandmothers (born in the late 1800's) that were married at 14 years old.. Both married men in their mid 20's... Back in those days it was quite common... Nowadays you can get arrested for that sort of thing
But, it goes with saying.... Boys on girls is the natural order of things.. whereas boy on boys is a perversion of nature..... Yes..??
