Catholic Church Scandal, Boy Scout Style

[perspctv]

Blackfoot is a moron as I have discovered elsewhere.

The empirical research does not show that gay or bisexual men are any more likely than heterosexual men to molest children.

UCDavis paper.

how do you suppose the Boy Scouts managed to get all those homosexual scout leaders when they specifically prohibit homosexuals from being members?

Why do hen-houses have foxes hanging around...

Good point. I'd agree that groups of young boys could reasonably be expected to attract pedophiles. But that's not really the problem for the Scouts, is it? It isn't that a few perverts snuck in, it's that the management of the organization knew they were there and not only took no action, but covered up for them. Using your analogy, they're not only leaving the hen-house door open, but are claiming they lost no chickens, and if any chickens are missing they just walked off by themselves.

Here's a good idea. Just shoot the pedophiles; an autopsy could later determine whether or not they're queer.

Male with male is queer; female with female is queer. If one is a child, the older is queer. Why is that so hard to figure out?
Example. Jerry Sandusky is a queer pedophile. I have a feeling that before long, he'll get his comeuppance in prison.

(no pun intended)

You partly are correct, it's also no different than the Catholic Church scum. Homosexual/pedophile priest were protected much the same way.

Add Bi-sexual to that list of disgusting perversions...

Hey, Blackfoot - how about we agree that some homosexuals are pedophiles and some heterosexuals are pedophiles and that there are many homos and heteros that are NOT pedophiles. Then maybe we can all discuss the failings of the Boy Scouts and the Catholic Church without showing our ignorance and getting off the road and into the moors.

It's true that homosexuality and pedophilia are two separate behaviors, I never said otherwise. The problem comes when an adult male, has sex with a male child, and the pro-homosexual people try to claim it has nothing to do with homosexuality.

That's not interesting, it's expected drivel from the homosexual lobby.

As we speak, thousands of homosexual perverts are sweating bullets waiting for the cover-up list to be released.

Justice was never done in the Catholic Church scandal, wonder if it will in this case.

One good thing will come of this, the Gay Lobby won't have a chance in hell to get the BSA to ever openly accept homos in the club.

Couldn't have agreed with you more.

Damn the statute of limitations.....hang the offenders.

All these damn pedophiles that have been caught are living off our dime with three squares a day along with room and board, while the meat eating carnivores in our zoos aren't getting enough to eat....hmmmm..... :idea:

Not a bad idea, but you really wouldn't want to feed the queers to the animals. Their genes might infect the animals and,
well, you know the rest of the story. I'd hate to see a hyena with rainbow-colored spots.
Seeing a goat with a rainbow colored hide is sickening enough.

Wow- homerphobe is indeed homo-obsessed to dredge up this thread a month since the last post.

How about this, you insecure hetero.
The Boy Scouts of America hired a convicted sex offender, a creep who had sex with his 12 year old step-daughter. After a couple of years, it finally came to light and he spent five years in prison.

When I saw on his FB page that he was employed by BSA, I was dumbfounded. Maybe it's OK since he molested a girl, not a boy.

Update: Last time I checked, BSA was no longer in his profile. Whether it had anything to do with my email and link to his information on the NC Offender page, I'll never know. You'd think the BSA would show a bit of gratitude to a concerned citizen trying to help them uphold their moral platform.

New York Times: Homophobic? Maybe You’re Gay

WHY are political and religious figures who campaign against gay rights so often implicated in sexual encounters with same-sex partners?

In recent years, Ted Haggard, an evangelical leader who preached that homosexuality was a sin, resigned after a scandal involving a former male prostitute; Larry Craig, a United States senator who opposed including sexual orientation in hate-crime legislation, was arrested on suspicion of lewd conduct in a men’s bathroom; and Glenn Murphy Jr., a leader of the Young Republican National Convention and an opponent of same-sex marriage, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge after being accused of sexually assaulting another man.

One theory is that homosexual urges, when repressed out of shame or fear, can be expressed as homophobia. Freud famously called this process a “reaction formation” — the angry battle against the outward symbol of feelings that are inwardly being stifled. Even Mr. Haggard seemed to endorse this idea when, apologizing after his scandal for his anti-gay rhetoric, he said, “I think I was partially so vehement because of my own war.”

It’s a compelling theory — and now there is scientific reason to believe it....

Homerphobe certainly does seem to be the repressed type.

reckon our homie had daddy problems?

What leads to this repression? We found that participants who reported having supportive and accepting parents were more in touch with their implicit sexual orientation and less susceptible to homophobia. Individuals whose sexual identity was at odds with their implicit sexual attraction were much more frequently raised by parents perceived to be controlling, less accepting and more prejudiced against homosexuals

Just a little perspective.

Reminds me of the adage, "statistics don't lie - but statisticians do." Without comparing the rate (e.g., per hundred) instead of the raw number, the conclusion is invalid. Interesting too, that the number used regarding priests was those who were "sexually mistreated" while for teachers it was "some sort of physical sexual abuse by a public school employee"

I'm not saying there isn't a problem in schools, but this article is clearly just like the cover-ups, an attempt to minimize the deed and blame the victims.

"Comparing the incidence of sexual misconduct in schools with the Catholic Church scandal, Shakeshift notes that a study by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops concluded that 10,667 young people were sexually mistreated by priests between 1950 and 2002.
In contrast, the extrapolates from a national survey conducted for the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation in 2000 that roughly 290,000 students experienced some sort of physical sexual abuse by a public school employee between 1991 and 2000.
The figures suggest “the physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests,” said Shakshaft, according to Education Week."
