Jem I appreciate your thought out response, and I will reply to your comments accordingly.
But know this first: You have mistaken me for trying to argue in favor of those who are opposing the Russian "Anti-gay propaganda" laws.
If you re-read my post to Fhl, with just a bit more scrutiny, you will see that I was only pointing out to him, that he has prematurely formed his views regarding who is right and wrong in this particular matter.
I have expressed no such views, as to Who is right and Who is wrong.
I merely point to him that he has already admitted that he doesn't even know the slightest details of what the laws actually affect.
He is clueless, yet waves his big banner saying the Russians have more morals than us for passing these laws (of which he knows nothing in the way of details).
I am making the case that the laws they passed may or may not be good or bad for their society, but we just can't say either way until we take a closer look.
It's also been noted how quickly the Right accuses anyone who disagrees with their rigid views as having a hidden Left agenda.
They are paranoid and for good reason.
But this is only because the Right are scared to lose the power they once held over the people.
One day they'll wake up and realize there is no longer any reason to be scared, because they have long since lost their power and their say.
They may never even realize that had they only entertained the slightest notion of reconsidering their rigid beliefs, they'd still be part of the program.
Mark my words- Not one of us has it all right, though many of you think you do.
Bunch a dumb asses!

Here we have someone (Hoof?) pounding the table for what is really an absolutely ridiculous argument (which could only be supported by those with a radical agenda).
What exactly have I pounded the table about, Jem?
Was it really that dramatic for you?
You don't give the answers because you have not practiced your ability to scrutinize for the truth.
Quote from jem:
If you think your son is gay and you argue therefore you should have a right to give you son gay porn so as to not restrict your right to give him a booklet...
That's incorrect. Those aren't my words.
Is this what you believe?
I merely pointed out to Fhool that the type of literature the Russians may have banned, may very well be educational and moralistic guidelines such as his sacred book of Romans.
I only stated that we do not know what they are banning, yet he is saying they are morally righteous for their decisions.
He doesn't know exactly what those decisions are as he does not study Russian law.
I doubt you know any details of their laws either or surely you would have provided something other than your severely mistaken interpretation of my views.

By the way the issue that is not discussed is the fact that that this is all cultural choices and when the majority can decide things for the minority.
You got that right.
Quote from jem:
I am sure the same story could be written about supporting the rights of those who disgusted by gay sex or polygamy or pedophiles or future terrorists any other group which is not the majority one at the moment.
I'm sure it could- maybe you should try writing one, I bet it could be a best seller on magazine racks at the gun shops.
Leapy'd probably buy the first copy!
Quote from jem:
The majority does not have tolerate porn for kids if it chooses not to.
Amen. I'll support that.
Quote from jem:
There is no fundamental right to sexualize a kid in our culture... nor should there be.
Very true- but we should remember too that healthy sex education is important, otherwise...well- that would just be reckless parenting to not give your kids some heads up, Would it not?
So what exactly have these mother lovin commie bastards outlawed, anyhow?
Is anyone ever going to try to post some genuine examples of their new laws, or is everyone just content to remain ignorant and continue to beat their own drums?
