Didn't we agree it was the parents who would be the best people to make these decisions? As opposed to someone who had a personal view that it might be inappropriate? In which case, it does matter.
I have the right to expect the children's section of the public library to be an appropriate environment for children. And I bet we can both come up with a lot of things seen on TV that do not belong in a children's library and that children shouldn't be attending.
There are places that sell liquor where children are allowed, like grocery stores. But the Irish bar and the pool hall across the street from where I live is for adults only. And I don't know of any nightclub anywhere that isn't adults only.
Well society can go in the other direction and start removing age restrictions placed on children to liberate them. I know that's certainly what NAMBLA et al wants according to their online agenda.
You really do your best to constantly deflect the discussion to NAMBLA. It's off topic, it's becoming tiresome and somewhat frustrating. It detracts from the point of the thread. Do you realise that the mods are specifically targeting off topic comments at the moment? Can I ask that you please refrain?
It is appropriate for drag queens to read. Which is fine. If you don't want your child to watch them on the few days, that they read to kids . Then have your kid go a different day. It's not that hard..
There's no reason why exotic adult entertainers should have a program for children. It's inappropriate and dodgy. If it were straight cis-gender exotic adult entertainers you'd probably agree. But since its lgbt it has to happen or else it's discrimination and marginalizing etc.
At least according to the GOP push to take away the rights of parents to decide what's appropriate for their children and have that part of parenting taken over by big government bureaucrats.
If posts want to continue advocating for a group pushing for legalizing pedophilia, seems like it would be best in a thread where that sort of thing isn't wildly off topic.
Does this apply to anyone who has "adult" jobs, or just people that the GOP want to demonize to manufacture outrage. I mean, police deal with some really adult situations, should they also be prevented from interacting with children?
I'm sure you know what adult entertainment and content is, and that the designation wasn't invented by the GOP.
How diabolical. I looked this up because it kept being referenced here and now I'm grossly appalled and shocked by the depravity of this society. Really hope any members of this evil association steer clear of those who won't tolerate this for their own good.
I bring it up because they want kids to be involved in the kinds of things progressives are arguing for. An advanced teaching of sexually. Being comfortable around people who would normally creep them out. Talk of kids rights. Kids being emancipated from current mores as to what they're taught in schools, where they go, who they hang out with. Parents getting on board with it and others supporting it because it's the progressive thing to do. The narrower the separation between children and adults becomes the better.
The fact that bad people want a particular thing does not make that thing bad. If you think it's a bad idea, that's fine, but "That's what the [Nazis/NAMBLA/Communists/Freemasons/etc] want!" isn't an argument.
What if they want to? They want to volunteer in their communities.
It's just a Godwin, but with pedophiles instead of Nazis. People naturally get defensive when you make the comparison, no matter how tenuous or invalid it is. It only serves to derail the thread.
I've heard them say their goal is to condition kids to feel comfortable with them, since kids are naturally creeped out by them. If they want to volunteer they could help feed the homeless, do meals on wheels for shut-ins, help in shelters and food banks, help in senior centers etc etc.
Maybe we can call it the Pedwin’s Law? This site already birthed Poe’s Law, why not another one?
