The lunatics do indeed run the asylum.

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.

That doesn't mean that they are not mentally ill. Homosexuals are still mentally ill.

Kiddie Perverts are the next great civil rights cause.

[MEG33]

Not going to happen...no way,no how~!!

[Skywalk]

Then those oppressed Psychopathic-Homicidal Americans will be next.

"Hey, I like to have sex with fresh human corpses, don't tread on me motha!"

[TN4Liberty]

Isn't this argument exactly what Rick Santorum anticipated?

[SevenDaysInMay]

Chickenhawks need love too. Then killing.

Again, we don't for the most part blame someone these days for their alcoholism; we don't see it simply as a moral weakness," he added.

"We do believe that these people have a disease or a disorder, but we also recognize that in having it that it impairs their function, that it causes them suffering that they need to turn for help," Berlin said.

This guy is still a do-gooder, but at least he recognizes the fact that "doing good" does not necessarily have to entail helping bad people violate others' rights.

Liberals don't believe in objective standards of right and wrong. I mean if adultery and perjury is ok... why not embrace pederasty? Indeed its not like they have a basis to argue against not sanctioning it other than a vague feeling the time's not right yet for it to gain public acceptance.

Does this come as a great surprise to anyone? As soon as we started seeing NAMBLA being defended as a legitimate organization, the handwriting was on the wall. What's next, proclaiming that children really have no rights because they are net yet deemed to be persons before the age of consent? We'd better beware the fate of Sodom.

" It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones." (Luke 17:2)

"Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 18:10)

[G.Mason]

"Psychiatrists attending an annual APA convention May 19 in San Francisco proposed removing several long-recognized categories of mental illness - including pedophilia, exhibitionism, fetishism, transvestism, voyeurism and sadomasochism - from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)."

And the trend continues to make all those exhibiting abhorrent mental disorders as normal.

The quality of life slides deeper into the mire.

Common cents? [sense] Why it's a penny, of course.

[mict42]

Psychiatry is not a science, it's an agenda

[FreedomPoster]

>>And the trend continues to make all those exhibiting abhorrent mental disorders as normal.

Worse, if you question it, you're immediately labelled as a Neanderthal Nazi. Try it sometime.

Wonder how they picked that city.

[goldstategop]

San Faggotsco? Somehow it seems a fitting place for the APA to lift the stigma from various categories of mental deviancy.

You know, you put bluntly exactly what happens. People become desensitized to what is and then the aberration is racheted up a knotch to allow the acceptance of a further crime and pedophilia is a crime against children. This disorder has an aggressor and a victim so it is not a mutually agreed to activity. Perhaps the psychiatric association counts among it's members a number of persons who practice or would like to practice pedophilia. Any normal person who has and loves helpless little children could never accept this crime against them. I am a trained RN..I was molested as a child by a stranger in our home..He was certainly not mentally ill..He was a respected member of the community and a talented, skilled professional person. I told my Mother and she saw to it that he was booted out never to return..He dropped dead at the age of 52 but God only knows how many children he molested who did not having loving mothers to turn to. During my clinical psychiatric nurses training, I saw hospitalized children who had suffered molestation and it was HEART BREAKING. This Association is not anything if not EVIL. I get more and more upset as I think about this. Our freedoms absolutely must draw a line somewhere. We are NOTHING in this nation if we do not protect our 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.

Satan is at work in these people. This is outrageous.

[Lazamataz]

Every last one of these f***ing nutcases should be locked in a crazy ward.

I missed this line. I don't believe in Satan per se, but evil is widely-spread and ingrained in our society.
