What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you

   OH SHIT FUCK NO

I'm not usually so potty-mouthed but, in an era where every second thing in the newspaper makes me homicidal, THIS is the absolute limit [sensitive types, please just skip ahead to the next post]:

Dutch pedophiles are launching a political party to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations to 12 from 16 and the legalization of child pornography and sex with animals, sparking widespread outrage.

The Charity, Freedom and Diversity (NVD) party said ..."We want to make pedophilia the subject of discussion," he said, adding the subject had been a taboo since the 1996 Marc Dutroux child abuse scandal in neighboring Belgium. "We want to get into parliament so we have a voice. Other politicians only talk about us in a negative sense, as if we were criminals."

Oh please, find me that one politician who speaks of you in a positive light so I can bitchslap him for three hours.

This enrages me for two reasons -- one political, one personal. On the political front, I can already hear the voices of right-wing morons shouting, "You see? This is what happens when liberals and fags start blah blah yada blah." No, you idiot fucks, it's not. I'm an adult gay man who loves other adult gay men. My adult gay friends love other adult gay men. It's simple but, whenever these creepy people too messed up to deal with other adults start speaking up, we just get more of this in today's paper:

Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Friday his government plans to hold a vote on the same-sex marriage issue in the fall.
...
Reports emerged this week suggesting that a growing number of cabinet ministers and MPs are questioning whether the debate should be revisited.

Some suggested that the divisive issue has already been debated thoroughly, and others indicated that there are more pressing matters demanding the government's attention.
...
In the United States, President George W. Bush will push for a constitutional amendment next week banning gay marriage.

Oh sweet heaven above, can we knock this off already? How about a new bill on energy policy? Or school and hospital funding? Or anything that fucking matters?

But that's all just the usual political stuff. I hate these guys on a personal level because, well, they molest children (duh!) but worse, they claim that this is all in the children's best interests. This is the most staggering, disgusting twisting of the truth since Nixon said he wasn't a crook. It offends me that they even try to pass this arguement off on people, especially when they use the rhetoric of gay rights.

The gay rights movement flowed through the last few decades because brave people stood up and said, "As adults, we have the right to have sex with anyone we want," and others said, "Yes, as adults, we too have the right to have sex with those people." As political movements go, it's been pretty fun.

Gay rights, however, cannot ever be equated with the demands of paedophiles because we will never, ever, see a group of 12-year-children demonstrating for the right to have creepy middle-aged men fuck them. That will never happen and without it -- I believe the term is 'consensual' -- these people may have every right to speak their opinion but everyone else has the right to tell them to get some professional help or stay the fuck away from the kids.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm still trying to find a husband and bring about the end of civilization itself.
