I have a good idea for you. Since a great deal of the young i*****l a***n population coming in is young men with gang tats, why don't you take two dozen of them home to live with you? No, don't bother to check for the diseases that many of them are carrying, so what if you get sick, or die from the diseases they are carrying, if you think the rest of us should be subject to those often fatal diseases, you be the test case. Have fun.

We have names for many things that are not real. How about unicorns, B******i scandal, and Fox News?
I consider myself either a conservative liberal or a liberal conservative. There are many definitions of these two labels and the only way we can have any kind of a useful dialogue is to have the same definitions of the words or to describe specific behaviors and skip the labels.
I think the only way we can avoid the confusion exemplified by the comments on this site is to agree to use the dictionary definitions of the words. I think both definitions describe my political views and I wouldnt object to either. As you were using the word, liberal, it had no relationship to the actual definition of the word and it didnt make any sense.
I dont see how you or anyone would h**e what someone believes, but of course your choice to do if you wish.
Rock Knutne is someone for whom I have contempt. He is on this site to disrupt conversation, insult others, and blow smoke, not to have civil conversation. I dislike what he is doing to this site with his attacks, insults, misinformation and his tough guy act. If you find that troubling, perhaps you should join a quilting circle instead of attempting to engage in political discussion.
Here are the definitions of liberal and conservative from the Bing Dictionary. What do you object to about conservatives and what do you object to about liberals?
1. Definition of liberal (adj)
Bing Dictionary
1. broad-minded: tolerant of different views and standards of behavior in others
2. progressive politically or socially: favoring gradual reform, especially political reforms that extend democracy, distribute wealth more evenly, and protect the personal freedom of the individual
3. generous: freely giving money, time, or some other asset
synonyms: open-minded broad-minded moderate noninterventionist freethinking
1. Definition of conservative (adj)
Bing Dictionary
1. reluctant to accept change: in favor of preserving the status quo and traditional values and customs, and against abrupt change
2. of conservatism: relating to, characteristic of, or displaying conservatism
3. cautious and on low side: cautiously moderate and therefore often less than the final outcome
synonyms: traditional conventional conformist unadventurous old-fashioned

Unfortunately the meaning of words changes in the venacular and often comes to mean the exact opposite of the dictionary terms. In the political arena liberal used to be the politics of JFK who would now be considered a conservative. In the 1930 and 40's the American C*******t Party used the tern progressive to refer to itself, because c*******t or socialist were "bad" words. Today those who are conservative want to uphold the constitution, allow free speech even if it offends some people, supports the family unit and wants to encourage it to remain intact,and wants free market capitalism to be the goal toward which the country should aim. The conservative ideal is to follow the Constitution as written, not (as the progressives desire)believe that the constitution is a living thing that should be rewritten at a whim, or totally ignored when following it is inconvenient. Unfortunately neither party believes in following the Constitution. "A word shall mean what I want it to mean, nothing more, nothing less" and if that changes from day to day then the law of the land should morph with the flow.
By the JFK definition I am a liberal, by the Obama standard you are a liberal.

No imagination until you hit adulthood? That's hard to believe. I lived in mine, did an incredible amount of reading fiction, starting at age 7, and found it a really safe place to retreat to. I still do, especially when I'm wrestling with some quandary or other that I can't seem to nd an answer to.
When I was a kid, the only safe and happy place was in a book. I still love to read, although now my world is much happier and safer. I can sit on the porch reading and watching the humming birds and enjoy listening to the sounds of the woods while reading a good book, although now most are nonfiction,

I have reread the "disclaimer" three times, and, as I interpret it, what the author is saying is that the group of people whose data he examined were in a psychiatric institution, not in prison (although they might have been arrested earlier) Therefore it was a select group, not a random sample. He stated that he did not have the data about the adult sexual contacts, if any, of the p*******es, nor what the ages of the victims were. As I understand it, the predators who choose young teenagers are different than those who choose five year olds. Which age group the victims were would make a difference as to the sex of their adult contacts. To draw any conclusions from his data research other than what he stated, that 1/3 of the predators prefer boys, 1/3 preferred girls, and 1/3 of the group were happy to victimize children of either sex would not be valid. And of course, since apparently there were no extensive interviews, there is no way of knowing if any of these predators even considered the children as victims, or whether they looked on them as just" intergenerational partners" a term in vogue in some of the activist literature that I have seen.

I am sorry to hear about Bailey. They become such a part of our lives, don't they? Looks like he was connected to your baby as well as to you. There will always be a special place in your heart and memories for Bailey. God sends us dogs to remind us of what unconditional love is. Knowing a great dog makes us more appreciative of the love of God for us all.
SWMBO isn't back home yet, but I know she will understand what a great loss it is. Even Tank sitting here beside me seems to appreciate the passing of one of his brothers in spirit.

Considering that only about two percent of the population is homosexual, and perhaps another one percent bisexual, it would seem that homosexuals were way over represented in these studies. I doubt that the researchers went out of their way to search out homosexuals, particularly since they were looking at a prison population, if I read your post correctly
I think that a number of men who are held up as the examples of homosexuals that are outstanding citizens are or were really pederasts or p*******es there is some question in my mind as to the reality of the separation between homosexual and p*******e/pederast.
Harry Hay and Harvey Milk were both acknowledged pederasts. From many articles that I have read GLSEN founder and Obama's safe school czar Kevin Jennings has openly discussed his activities with teen age boys. Allan Ginsberg, Walt Whitman, Oscar Wilde to name a few. Of course Alfred Kinsey and his assistants, plus Dr. John Money are usually included in that group. To me that makes the homosexual/ p*******e line rather blurry I have my doubts about the veracity of peer reviewed studies when I see the later disclosures of a number of such studies that were made intentionally to come to a predetermined conclusion, no matter what field the study is in.

There are also a number of conservatives who have friends who are homosexuals, and we treat them the same way that we treat our other friends. Being a Christian, I do not demand that everyone else be Christian, nor demand that non Christians accept my views or want to have my religious symbols on their front lawns. On the other hand "progressives" seem to be so offended by Christian symbols that they mandate their removal from anywhere they might be visible to the atheists eyes. The L***Q activists push for quotas, demand that no information from ex gay groups or any religious material or statement that homosexual behavior is a sin be presented in public. As far as the activists are concerned declaration that homosexual acts are sinful should be a firing offense. You don't see any "free love" groups demanding that any reference to adultery as a sin be removed from public discourse. Tolerance is a one way street for many activist groups.

SWMBO meant to ask you if your avatar kitten was one of yours and if so, is it a Siamese ,Himalayan, or Rag Doll?
She drove most of the night, got in just fine, and the dog training session/ seminar is going on all day. Part one is on how to desensitize therapy dogs so that they do not misinterpret the body language of people who have Downs syndrome, are autistic or have some other problem that causes them to move differently. It is hard to get a therapy dog to respond properly if he cannot "read" a person's body language. I think the second part is to teach the dogs how to read the body language and thought patterns of "progressives" but I am not sure if that is what she said.
