"My 22 year old son said years ago that first they get us to accept homosexual sex, then necrophilia, beastiality, and pedophilia."

So did I. Nobody believed me. Now the only question is: which band of perverts will be next to 'come out of the closet' and assert rights? My guess is the necrophiles, because they can make the claim that a corpse is not injured (it being past all caring) by any sexual act perpetrated upon it. We shall see.

Homosexual predation of young male teenagers is rampant and culturally accepted in the homosexual movement, and it is irrefutably the ROOT CAUSE of the current crisis in the Roman Catholic Church.

Its no longer about just letting two consenting adults do whatever they want in the "privacy" of their own bedroom.

Theirs is an all out, full court press to stigmatize ANYONE who rejects the notion that homosexual behavior is intrinsically disordered, and to tear down ANY remaining legal constraints against their behavior, including predation of young teenagers.

Always remember the words of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg:

As an attorney for the ACLU Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg co-authored a report recommending that the age of consent for sexual acts be lowered to 12 years of age ("Sex Bias in the U.S. Code," Report for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, April 1977, p. 102).

The paragraph reads as follows: "Eliminate the phrase "carnal knowledge of any female, not his wife, who has not attained the age of 16 years" and substitute a federal, sex-neutral definition of the offense.... A person is guilty of an offense if he engages in a sexual act with another person.... [and] the other person is, in fact, less than 12 years old..)"

There is a big difference between sex between adults and sex with children who can't really consent.

Children can consent, what makes you think they can’t, because the legislature says so? LOL So if the legislature made the age of consent 12 like it is in the Nederlands you think the USSC is going to intervene?

We already know which band of perverts -- it's those nice people who want to lower the age of consent. (In Britain, the "boy-lovers" have apparently made pretty good progress....)

Probably incest is going to take a little longer, but it wouldn't surprise me to see that legalized, eventually.

At the same time, I will not be surprised to see a successful effort to legalize all manner of multi-partner marriage arrangements.

My guess is the necrophiles,

I believe it will be the consenting incestuals next, then the bestials (“sex” with property) as they have no consenting issues except from Liberaltarian hypocrites that rely on the 10th amendment when it’s convenient.

Friends have scoffed at my statement that this recent SCOTUS decision will be the reason they will lower the age of consent to 12! I don't think this is too far fetched!

Pedophilia deals with sex with children. Children are by definition not adults.

The Libertarian Party platform supports allowing children to declare their adulthood.

Then what the hell are we doing with laws the prohibit murder and theft?

It seems some people can't make the distinction between a moral objection and actual harm.

And an OPINION from a hypocrite and a liar is worth what??? Do you accuse those who speak out against abortion, euthanasia, legalizing drugs, atheism, gambling, prostitution, moral relativism, the Liberaltarian social experiment, et al debilitating and otherwise negative affects to our society and culture as being “obsessive”??? …Oh that’s RIGHT you don’t. WHY? Because you are a hypocrite. I almost forgot.

But what just for shits and giggles, what makes you think homosexuality isn’t a pathology??? The APA? BWAHAHAHAHAAA…

And when that happens, then you can come back and tell us "I told you so." Until then, you're just another fearmonger yelling that the sky is falling.

My prediction... it's never going to happen. And I'm willing to put my money on it.

To be honest, I haven't kept up with what Libertarians want. Can you tell me what is the earliest age the Libertarians would allow a child to declare adulthood?

Does anybody here seriously think that the SC would allow sex with children,(?)

Yes. I think it would. And I'll tell you how. Look for cases of men having sex with minors between 14 and 18 where there is explicit consent. Statutory rape charges are filed. The man sues on the basis of the age of consent law being arbitrary and unfair. It goes all the way to the supreme court. I would look for lots of "age of consent" lawsuits in the near future.

What the hell are you talking about?

We have these morons all the time, carping about how we "cannot legislate morality." But guess what? We already do. That's why we have laws against murder, theft, suicide and drug abuse.

That's why I say these people who make such ludicrous statements had better be willing to take what they are saying to its logical conclusion or they should just shut up.
