Dr. Spitzer commented at the symposium that it is a sign of how low the psychiatric community has sunk that theses paraphilias could possibly be recognized as signs of true human flourishing. As well, it was argued there at the symposium, by some, that if the same standard under which the APA "normalized" homosexuality were applied to these paraphilias then these paraphilias should also be deemed "normal."

And at least one of theses paraphilia's is being taught within California schools as 'ok', and we are even seeing one of these paraphilias being addressed, in a generally cute and funny way, within the movie "Shrek2"

If you want additional sources concerning this symposium, besides Narth, just Google: APA symposium Gender-Identity Disorder, or any of the other paraphilia's. Sure the APA generally condemned pedophilia, but the topic was still allowed to come up for discussion at the symposium, as well as were the other mental disorders.

Moral relativism at its worst. And does it get any more oxymoronic than 'healthy prehomosexuality?' I just puked in my mouth.

American Psychiatric Association

You will never find a bigger collection of perverts than the Mental Health industry. The higher up the food chain, the sicker the practitioner. Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Therapists and those who work with them are proportionally more likely to be perverts and addicts.

In addition to the rewriting of histroy, the left strives to rewrite science and truth in general to adapt to its agenda. Reality is contrary to leftist thinking.

The Marxist assault on tradition and the family continues.

These people are fanatics who want to destroy us.

Now THIS -is- a subject that is worthy of attention.

As I was trying to point out in your Shrek II thread - there are many serious issues on the subject matter that need attention. Picking at inconsequential jokes in "Shrek II" only serves to discredit legitimate concerns about things like this. I'm not saying this to be a jerk. I'm saying this cause I agree with the overall point being made, but taking it too far can lose a lot of necessary allies.

The *business* of psychiatry/psychology is more often than not operated by psychos and while some of what they do may be art, it certainly is *not* science. Why anyone pays attention to what these contemptible industries has to say, I don't know. Why professional con-men are still allowed to testify in court remains beyond me. What else can anyone say about a snake-oil industry founded on the ravings of a 19th century cokehead?

These are the same brilliant clowns that said homosexuality was not a mental illness. Liberalism is a mental illness. Shoving a pipe or any other foreign object up the Hershey highway is nothing but the highest form or perversion.

Romans 1:25-27 Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever Amen. (26) For this cause God cave them up unto vile affections for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:(27) And likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their lust one toward another men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Are these the folks that Pres. Bush wants to use to screen the rest of us for mental illness?

Of course liberals believe people with fetishes and paraphillias are just misunderstood. So its no surprise the APA is debating to remove this stuff from the manual of mental disorders.

Homosexual Agenda Ping - The last ping of the night (I hope!).

It's actually an article from last year, but very relevant. Fits in with other things. Such as the previous "Shrek" thread.

Chime in, if you like!

Let me (or Scripter) know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

Thanks for posting this article - even though it's from last year, it's very relevant and timely. Helps to support the arguments you and I (and some others) made about the Shrek2 movie on the other thread.

Render dangerous things harmless by laughter, and then they become "cute" and somehow normal. It's a tactic proven to work.

ALL homosexuality can be traced to early childhood sexual abuse which inhibits the healthy transference of affection from same sex to opposite sex in adolescence.

If the godless nitwits in the APA okay this garbage, our culture is doomed.

I'd suggest we execute all pedophiles, except the Catholic Church has enough staffing problems as it is......
