Oops, is that an admission that you don't know wtf you are talking about?

Either use terms correctly or don't use them at all.

Actually I would like to see the laws replaced with a test of some kind, allowing people to engage in sexual activities based purely on age is ridiculous.

(of course that may very well mean that some people might never pass the test but if that reduces the number of idiots in the world then I'm not gonna complain too much )

So, are you saying that there is a connection between women's rights activists and pedophilia?

The connection exists nowhere other than in your own mind.

Of course, you have contradicted yourself repeatedly in this thread...first you say there is a connection between homosexuality and pedophilia, then you say there isn't, then you say there is, then you say there isn't, and now you insinuate again that there is....

Here we have a bigot's definition for "tolerance".

If we did that, you would almost never get a reply to your posts...

I've never said there was no connection.

Really?

No (I'm not linking homosexuality and pedophilia), I am pointing out the parallel between the intimidation practiced by homosexual activists against the straight community and that used by NAMBLA against homosexual activists.
In both of these posts, people claimed you were making a connection between homosexuality and pedophilia, and you responded that you weren't. Now you say that you "never said there was no connection." Hmmmmm.

Here is the first quote in context:

Hey, you're the one lumping homosexuals in the same boat as pedophiles, not me.

That's just it. I'm not, despite your pathetic and lamentable efforts to distort my position.


Now, if you think "lumping homosexuals in the same boat as pedophiles" is equivalent to saying there is a connection between homosexuality and pedophilia, you and I have widely disparate ideas about the proper use of the language, possibly too much so to enable communication.

So what is this "connection?"

And you still haven't answered my question. Do you think there is a connection between women's rights activists and pedophilia, and why?

And I'm still waiting for you to present your premises and conclusion.

I'm also still waiting for you to tell me what is meant by the fallacy of presupposition, and what is meant by a non-sequitur.
