Don't ask Don't Tell is dead...

Sorry but there ain't no way I would've sucked some guys boner when I was 8. So I would have certainly never consented.

Had to wait a few more years, eh?

I somehow glossed over incest when I read that statement, but at any rate, we can take different scenarios that AREN'T this one and make half assed comparisons all day long. The fact of the matter is that if two people of the same sex want to have sex, who really gives a shit? Is your life really so perfect you need to worry about what others are doing to each others orifaces in the privacy of their own homes?

Same with incest, you can have two consenting partners

But it still has a very high propensity to produce a child with severe genetic defects. So I don't see it on the same plain, at all.

Lol whoops. Haha went back and fixed that

There's no way you wouldnt suck some guys boner? So you admit that you have? Keep that shit to yourself.

I'd have to disagree, at least when it comes to the pedophilia. The very young are often very easily influenced. If they were led to believe that nothing was wrong (with the advances of the pedophile) then it stands to reason that they would consent. I mean, you don't often hear about the pedophile that scooped up the little kid and raped him/her behind the dumpster, then left them there. A lot more often you hear about the pedophile that tricks the kids into doing dirty deeds. Then they don't even tell anyone, until some time later it finally comes out. Basically they almost always trick them into consent. Even if its temporary consent, its still consent.

Wrong, children do not possess the ability to consent.

Uh... what? I hope I misunderstand this post. Eager incest? Gross. I shudder to think.

All three contain one thing that homosexuality doesn't: one unconsenting partner.

Well obviously I can't say for 100% certainty that you are, its just that you seem to come to the defense of liberal ideas and ideology more often than not. Its cool I'm not bashing anyone or anything. I like having someone with the opposite point of view; it keeps things interesting. The world would be a very boring place if everyone believed the exact same thing.

And you're certainly not alone, there seems to be plenty of liberals on this board. If I got you pegged wrong, feel free to correct me, but I'd like to know what your particular political belief system is.

Well, I'm guessing what you are mostly talking about is my view of homosexuality. I don't think it's inherently wrong or unnatural as we actually see several examples of it in nature. My conservative side (read: NOT Republican or neo-con) doesn't think we should legislate or discriminate against it, ESPECIALLY at a national level (read: standing military). I also don't think we should try to legislate morality and/or religion as a whole.

But I'm all for a tighter budget, minimalized national taxation, spending reform, constitutionalism, strong defensive policy (although, a national standing military could be considered very liberal).

Unfortunately, many people hold Republican ideals as conservative ideals. But, in reality, Republicans now a days are about the furthest thing from conservatives next to Democrats and Labor parties.

Yes. All have something inherently wrong with them.

So let me get this straight you're saying homosexuality exists on continuum of psychological disorders of sexual motivations and fetishes?

[Forever_frost]

I think he is bigoted against sexual behavior he disagrees with

[ceyko]

It could be argued that severity is a matter of perspective too. Goat humpers probably don't think it is that bad.
