Meryl, youre missing the point, and kriegor, please keep calm.

its fine if you hold that view, what kriegor was trying to say was its not a strong or justifiable view.

he was trying to show the fallacy in it, not that you were necessarily wrong, or he disagrees with the fact pedophiles are bad.

No Meryl is right, their sympathy isn't worth spending on people who they deem is dangerous.

Which, could just be, _anybody_ at _any_ time.

okay. then theres no reason to continue the argument. whats done is done, you guys hopefully have made your sides clear.

wonder how many pedos are out there that don't succumb to their urges at some point in their life

We'll never know, which is the point of the TED talk

well, pedophiles are dangerous.

Or at least, a point.

At some point, so were _all_ homosexuals.

I am definitely not attracted to the same gender @kriegor191

And I strongly disagree with pedophiles being considered normal

I agree with @Lore. An underage child cannot comprehend enough to consent.

and I AM attracted to the same gender. I cannot imagine taking someone's innocence away.

they essentially destroy the person's life before it really even gets to begin

I have no problem with other people’s orientation as long as it does not include children

I do worry that the left will normalize it.

Children should be allowed to grow up and make their own decisions about their personal orientation

they ahve already started to normalize it

I'd even say that a good amount of colleges goers these days don't comprehend the world enough to really know what they're consenting to

like those trans people who go to public libraries, videos that come from that are so disgusting

twerking for little kids

I know what you mean @Meryl.140.15

hell, I think the voting age needs to raise to 21... at least

our brains aren't fully developed until 25

a lot of growing happens in our 20's

i think voter rights should be restricted to those that pass a course in civics

too many idiots and fools voting with no understanding of civics

if the voting age goes up too 21, then people shouldnt be considered legal adults at 18, enlistment age needs to be increased to 21, and we have to figure out what people can do after those 3 years after high school before theyre considered adults

I also think voting rights should be limited to those with skin in the game... actual taxpayers

> our brains aren't fully developed until 25
Physically, really. In terms of thought process, then well........ *cough* Liberals *cough*

Lol

wardog, driving age also goes up to 21

@Wardog, we may need to make some changes. Young folks are damn stupid (in general)

i don't think liberals brains ever fully develop

it's like they're stuck in middle school

@Deleted User great point. that would be really fucking detrimental.

remember the show - are u smarter than a 5th grader

theres enough complaints about how the old career politicians have so much say over the people they are so disconnected from, why should we make the gap even wider...?

new show should come out - are u dumber than a liberal
