See it?

Maybe they could be auctioned off to the highest bidder?

They could discover the true joys of kink first hand!

Think about a great learning experience it would be for them!

Who are you to curtail their learning activities?

What in the world is Kink?

The depravity of these people knows no bounds. Call me a Puritan, but healthy boundaries between parents and children still include NOT getting into conversations about sexual kink, with a view to instructing the children in all things perverted. A certain boundary and level of privacy should be maintained regarding regular sexual activity too, and I am talking about with post-puberty teenagers. Pre-puberty childen don’t need to have any of this stuff imposed upon them.

White leftists destroy Western Civilization. Male leftists also bear responsibility as enablers of leftist women.

None.

Strikes me as very odd.

We are supposed to tolerate this crap, then accepting of this crap, then we’re expected to CELEBRATE this crap. If any of these three crappy steps are missed, we are deemed homophobic. I do not have an irrational fear of these idiots, I am simply tired of this crap in our faces 24x7x365.

The issue with normalizing “kink” culture by exposing children to it in “simulated” or “funny” ways is that reinforces a potentially harmful message about the role of sexuality in adult life.

The lure of kink culture is the replacement of mutually experienced pleasure between equals with dominant partners acting in some stylized punishing or humiliating way on a submissive, usually restrained, partner.

Kink roleplay is about the excitement of fear or disgust or humiliation reinforced with coincident sexual pleasure. This conditions the mind to want more and darker experiences and is both psychologically and physically addictive.

This behavior is as old as human civilization but over generations we channeled our sexual impulses to serve more constructive social ends like marriage and family. Making it mainstream now is going in the wrong direction.

Remember the days when corrupting the morals of a minor was a crime? I miss those days.

Something tells me Ms Rowello really doesn't like diversity. Let's play a game, and ask "do you think Ms Rowello would write my version?"

Just as we got settled, our elementary-schooler pointed in the direction of oncoming floats, raising an eyebrow at man in dark sunglasses whose black AR-15 was slung round his back. The man paused as his colleague pull his concealed handgun from his ankle holster. “What are they doing?” my curious kid asked as our toddler cheered them on.The pair was the first of a few dozen gun owners who swaggered down the street, laughing together as they openly-carried their firearms, some leading companions with a banner saying "When Guns Are Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Have Guns." At the time, my children were too young to understand the nuance of the situation, but I told them the truth: That these folks were members of our community celebrating who they are and what they like to do.

Children who witness gun culture are reassured that alternative approaches to self-determination and individualism are valid—no matter who they become as they mature, helping them recognize that their personal choice of a .22 isn't bad or wrong, and that they aren’t alone in their experiences.

… Including open-carry in Gun Owner Events opens space for families to have necessary and powerful conversations with young people about health, safety, consent, and — most uniquely — self-defense. Gun visibility is a reminder that any person can and should shamelessly explore what brings safety and comfort. We don’t talk to our children enough about pursuing gun ownership to fulfill self-determination needs that arise and well-up in us in the moment. Sharing the language of gun culture with young people provides them with valuable information about the safe handling of firearms —such as the importance of treating every firearm as if it's loaded, seeing your target and what's beyond it, affirming the importance of planning and range-time and the need to research and guard the original intent of the 2nd Amendment. I never want my children to worry that exploring any aspect of gun ownership or concealed carry is too taboo.

In another ten years the DSM is going to have dozens of new diagnoses to catalog the mental disorders this kind of psychic warfare has inflicted on the current generation of children.

And therein lies a problem because for many of these people, the real thrill is transgressing boundaries and shocking people. So they will have to come up with more shocking behavior to satisfy themselves.

Think this had anything to do with her decisions?

I was a straight woman whose spouse came out as trans. It didn’t change a thing.

“We can’t coexist with these people.”


THIS

We have nothing in common with these people.

We can’t coexist with these people.

Which is why God had to drown and incinerate them the last few times they reached critical mass.

Victorian culture was roundly criticized for being so repressive. But overall it was far superior to what we have today. I'd take the strict moral code and mores any day of the week instead of the disgusting rot we are living with and have to endure every single day.

I have a free account at the Compost that lets me view a certain number of articles. Seldom go there except to troll libtards. This article was so disgusting it deserved a closer look. Clicked on the link which brought up the article, showing 146 comments. Clicking on the comments took me to the log in page. After logging in the comment count was 0. Was the Compost embarrassed at the negative response to this depraved article and decided to take them down? No way to know, but it’s pretty suspicious.

There’s a parade like that for all eternity. But they won’t “enjoy” the flogging, and ... it’s a LOT hotter than CA.
