    Here’s another Milo quote. Are you defending this?
    โ€œYouโ€™re misunderstanding what pedophilia means. Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13 years old, who is sexually mature. Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty. Pedophilia is attraction to people who donโ€™t have functioning sex organs yet who have not gone through puberty.โ€

    I don’t imagine that Scott or anybody else here is Paul but you really oughta complain to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). It’s their definition.
    Pedophilia is termed pedophilic disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), and the manual defines it as a paraphilia involving intense and recurrent sexual urges towards and fantasies about prepubescent children that have either been acted upon or which cause the person with the attraction distress or interpersonal difficulty.[1] The International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) defines it as a sexual preference for children of prepubertal or early pubertal age.[4],/i>

    Annie,
    I can see that about her mannerisms.
    However, if you will recall, the Stepford wives were engineered for physical perfection and beauty, as well as brainlessness.
    JARโ€™s LTE seemed to be written for no other purpose than to wound.
    If she is getting blowback, it is well-deserved.
    Right now we all need more tolerance and compassion, not so much bitchiness and snark.
    Annie Fox says:
    February 21, 2017 at 9:13 am
    Judith, I agree with your comment regarding beauty so she misses the mark indeed. Iโ€™ve tried the compassionate and tolerant route with these folks and only received bitchiness and snark in return. I donโ€™t do the bitch thing but will stand up to it.

    Different topic.
    Mrs. Trump reciting the Lord’s Prayer before the latest Trump CAMPAIGN event in Florida caused the usual firestorm of the “Seperation of Church and State”. Our nation’s founding was based on the belief of government staying out of religion, based on its Western Civilization background. Such a separation (religious freedom) works in the context of our forefathers Judea/Christian history, British Common Law, and Natural Law.
    But what happens when a religion appears on the scene that by its very nature does not believe in the separation of church and state? What are the ramifications? Too many links to begin to list, some exhaustive scholarly works going back to 1974. Here is a more recent overview.

    I knew it. With Paul, it always comes down to him refusing to discuss or reply to the issues I have brought up concerning his statements. Instead, he makes up straw man arguments, and finally: demanding once more that I answer yes or no to a variation of ‘have you stopped beating your wife?’.
    There is a gigantic difference between ‘having a sexual attraction’ to under age teens and acting on that attraction in some way.
    Paul – this isn’t about whether or not I’m in agreement with what Milo did or didn’t say. My point is that you and apparently millions of others have decided to post date an excuse for your brown shirt attitude towards the civil rights of some one you don’t like. Milo has made it abundantly clear that he is not advocating anything illegal.
    I again wonder why folks on the left can actually commit sexual crimes and find it’s all swept under the rug as quick as you please, but Milo must be banished to the wilderness for merely discussing the subject from the perspective of an under age male.

    Gentlemen, please! When Terry was accused, mum became the word. RL Crabb and his commentators, Fatso’s blog, this site, others, all had the unspoken iron clad rule that discussion of the accused is off limits. Mum is the word. Even Brother Ben popped over to say it was all a set-up and a big lie before going silent, and some blamed The Union or LE for spilling the beans. Innocent until proven guilty and all that stuff in addition to the “sensitive topic” is off-limits. Reminiscent of that wackjob councilwoman posting about Sandy Hook never happened, chemtrails are some massive, yet secret plot, to do wholesale mind control of the populous, and cops under orders to got out and shoot some cans—–AfriCANs that is. Ok, AfriCAN-AmetiCANS…those kind of cans they were ordered to go out and do target practice on. Mum is the word, the quicker the better. Fair enough, I don’t make the rules.
    If you boys want to actually discuss ped-o-files in terms of our legal system, go at it. You can also discuss historical records, Greek sailor stories, morality, abstinence , Sodom and Gormoaha, various cultures and their ped-o-philistines, or age of consent in North America….whatever floats your boat. For example:
    The age of consent in Canada is 16. All U.S. states set their limits between 16 and 18. The age of consent in Mexico is complex. Typically, Mexican states have a “primary” age of consent (which may be as low as 12), and sexual conduct with persons below that age is always illegal.
    I accept Milo’s side of the story, knowing how he pushes the envelop in everything he says, except for those rather sobering and thoughtful hour and a half Q&A interactions after his 20 minute stage presentations. But, the bigger picture is Milo is a minor player and can’t vote.
    It’s not even close to a huge story like Kim got robbed in Paris. I see it as a one day Access Hollywood news story.
    Shame on Paul for making this story bigger than that Idaho Senator playing footsie in the airport john and shame on everybody else trying to win a stupid agrument. This whole topic gives me the creeps. Oh yeah, Don was right. I remember the internal debate within the gay community about NAMBLA and it was a vigorous debate. Very articulate debate between those who saw it as “love and adoration” and those who were not pleased with any association with NAMBLA. Personally, the topic makes me want to vomit.
    Yo Gay Community, you lie down with dogs, you are going to get fleas. I lied down with Milo and I got some fleas. No big deal, I am a Deplorable.
    Look at this way. This sudden piling on is not any different than when some true KKK type out there says he likes Trump and suddenly we are all painted with the broadbrush. They hate us Deplorables more than they hate Trump!! And Milo and I like to give them good reason. Let’s go shoot some cans!, but I digress. No, we have to defend or condemn, and ne’er the twain shall meet.
    It’s all about who gets the last word in over a stupid agrument. Have at it. Count me in as sticking with Milo….and Trump….and the Deplorables.
    Speaking of getting the last word in, I noticed a whole basket full of crickets when I recently posted the link of David Duke supporting the Black Nationalist congressman who is most likely to become the next DNC Chairperson. David Duke says Keith Achman E “gets it”….you know, how the Klan and Muslims and Libs really feel about the Jews….but we have a news blackout on that, lol.

    Yep, I still support Milo. Got dumped by Breihart? Well, he’s a kid and will learn from this one big time. Like good art, it makes the viewer uncomfortable. He still has some great perspectives on PC, where the new feminist movement has abandoned feminism, the role of masculinity in society, and genuine old fashioned debate. Everything that makes Social Justice Warriors cringe. And Milo is not Alt-Right, no matter how many thousands of times the media calls him Alt-Right when introducing him to the reader.
    With that said, i guess he said the “indefensible” according to Paul’s 12:40 pm. I will take Breitharts word for it cause the story does not interest me enough to read one story on the topic. But, that is just me.
    Interestingly enough, Milo got hired by Breithard originally to cover the tech scene. I will never forget his quote “The PC culture on today’s campuses created me. Without them, I could not exist.” Yep, nature abhors a vacumn. For every action, there is an equal forceful reaction. Looks like I am stuck reading Terry’s writings to The Union as he takes the long road of rehabilitation in the public’ eye.

    Ye ole stick it to the man by the younger generation since time immortal. No respect given and now they are the ones saying “Don’t trust anyone over thirty. Oh, Grandpa is cool, it’s my parents that are nuts”, lol. And their parents’ off the deep end beliefs.
    Years ago I read one of those one frame cartoons in The New Yorker or someplace. Had to be 30 or more years ago. It showed a middle aged hippy couple complete with the Flower Power garb and accessories. They were distraught watching their young son walking by wearing a white shirt, tie, business suit and carrying a briefcase. The caption read, “Where did we go wrong?”
    Now, gotta feel sorry for Claire in 2018. She broke for Obama in ’08 and got on the HRC enemies list. Hillary kept a list of every single Dem who choose O over The First Woman President.

Later they made nice and got Claire’s much needed female backing for 2016.
