What I love most is that the people who are most offended by the post are named "lap dancer" and have said "monster penis and busting virgin vagina's and rectums"- now that's family friendly!

Im offended by it as well. And I wonder why someone would want to post something so gross. I agree with you Edie. Im not for censorship but I think in this case it would be appropriate. Gross. Theres just something yucky about the way it was thrown out there.. hmm. Gross.

Wait... you mean censorship is okay if it is something you personally find distasteful? If that isn't the epitome of serious censorship I don't know what is. You might want to change your censorship comment to:

I am all for censorship and I think it's a great thing!!!!

Because you are all for censorship.

This section has a very clear warning that you may not like what you see here. It says to enter at your own risk. You read the warning, you came here anyway, and now you want censorship. Interesting.

You know, there are many people that don't know the concept of man/boy love exists. Oh, we can bury our collective heads and pretend it doesn't exist because that will soothe our blistered eyes and minds. But that isn't really doing much to be proactive in educating the world about the concept or that we should all stand up and fight the actions and behaviors of these people, is it?

So what is it? Pretend it doesn't exist so we don't have to deal with reality or face it head on and fight it tooth and nail? We can't fight it if we don't tell others about the concept. Your way the practice continues. My way we actually do something about it and protect children.

Honestly, I don't understand your point of view. I'd rather people be educated and fight the problem vs. pretending we are too good to even read about these behaviors. You see, some of us don't see it as "gross" but more of it being "dangerous". I can deal with gross, but I act on dangerous and protect children when I can.

Throwing a website for ppl who engage in this activity out there is in my oppinion disgusting. Now if this website had been sited as proof of existance and in context of educating/informing others I guess that would be differant.

WAssabubblebutt, you don't know me. I don't know you. I could make blanket statements about you a plenty however im above that. In fact I don't feel the need to go through your post line by line to explain /defend myself. Good luck in your weight loss, if you ever need any support feel free to pm me.

The problem is that if you click the "new post" button you don't know where the post is from. That is how I read this forum, and I have been in a few threads that I was unwelcome in, a Canada thread for example. ~Mandy

The horrors of 9/11 were carried out in God's name. The horrors of the Holy Crusades were carried out in God's name. Slaughters of perceived infidels were carried out in God's name. The practice of slavery in America was justified at the time by certain passages of the Bible.

(Emphasis my own)

Green...

This is more true than most realize.

I collect antiquarian medical books as well as antiquarian books on slavory. I am "blessed" to have a book on slavery from the mid 1800s and it was a very well known and used book of its day. I have one of two (known) 1st editions of this book in existence today (and mine is in much better condition! LOL)

Anyway, the book is totally based on how the bible supports slavery. There just isn't anything wrong with it. The entire (fairly large) book justifies slavery by using the bible. THIS is what the anti-abolitionists used to fight those who wanted to get rid of slavery. This is the book they depended on. They just couldn't figure out how anyone could go against god and feel slavery is a bad thing. They really sat and scratched their collective heads over that one.

You know what? The bible does indeed support slavery. And people wonder why we atheists don't see the bible as a book of true morality.

When the xtians took over leadership of Europe they put a dead stop to all art, history, technology, medicine, science, etc. This makes sense... how? Many xtians today justify this by saying they didn't do it. They weren't a part of it. But the reality is they are using the same text as the people way back when used. They just change it to suit their needs today. At least the pro-slavery, anti-science people were honest. They followed their good book. Today most just change or omit what they don't like in their bible.

Which is really more honest?

The fact remains that your way protects people from learning about reality. The other way faces a "dangerous" issue head on and at least attempts to deal with it. I don't understand why you support censorship and especially here and now.

As for support, I get TONS of support, just as I give it. I have to clean out my own PMs quite often. But thanks! I may just take you up on it someday.

I don't think that the intent of the individual who posted the address of the Christian boylove site on this thread was to alert interested members of LBT of its availability. The point that he was trying to make was entirely different. I suggest that he viewed the site as an example of stunning hypocrisy on the part of a small group of Christians. He was hoping to provoke debate and he has certainly been sucessful.

Furthermore, if you take the trouble to investigate this sad little site, as I did, you will find no pornographic images. What you will discover is a tiny group of deeply conflicted Christian men who are homosexual pedophiles and who appear to know that to act upon their urges is not a good thing.

I don't believe that this should be censored. I believe that this should be examined and discussed and we are in fact doing this.

There are real pornographers out here in the virtual world and the material they post is visually explicit. I have problems with them posting this crap on my own blog. I personally don't like pornography and so I spend a lot of time cursing and deleting. This material is quite different and does merit analysis. R&R is a section which is designed for those adults here who are desirous of talking over some of the more contentious issues which arise in modern life. Hypocrisy is one of them. Pedophilia is another.

Thanks, green. Well said. That about sums it up.

To me, discussion of controversial issues is a good thing. When I posted the thread, I certainly realized that people would have strong opinions about the subject and that most people, myself included, would be utterly repulsed by any thought of pedophelia.

But it never occurred to me that simply because something involves a topic that is controversial and repulsive, that therefore that means we should not talk about it. That thought never crossed my mind. To me, that is an inconceivable view of the world, that because something is controversial and repulsive, that therefore we should not talk about it. I just don't get that at all. I respect people here too much to believe that they need to be protected from controversial topics.

Like a lot of other people here, I like to talk about controversial topics sometimes. I'm sure I'll continue to do so. If sometimes I post something that someone thinks should not be discussed, then I'm sorry you feel that way. My goal is not to offend.
