Yeah. That is something to think about. What's more frightening to me, though is to think that in another 35 years it will be legal, in some parts of the U.S., for a 40 year old man to have sex with a consenting 9 year-old ( male or female ), or a horse ( but only if it's in the privacy of his own barn.

Whoopsie. Looks like that one was yours, too.

Your prediction that A (interracial marriage) leads to C (pedophilia) is based on the "acceptance of sexual practices once unacceptable." Who suggested that interracial marriage was a sexual practice once unacceptable? Let's see... oh, that would be... YOU!

Ron,

I didn't misrepresent what you said and I stand by what I said.

In no place in this country is 9 years old an age of consent. Thus, having consensual sex with a 9 year old is rape of a child in my book. I think you would agree.

Also, I've never heard of a horse, other then Mr. Ed (who I believe is a fictional character) that could give consent. Thus consensual sex with a horse would be raping a horse in my book (unless it was Mr. Ed, of course).

I don't believe you are a bad person, and I do not believe you find these things logical. I assume that in the heat of arguing you just used really bad judgment.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Mr. Ed was straight. However, he is dead, anyway; so that would be necrophilia. (Which is very immoral;)

Well, exactly how "frightening" is interracial marriage to you? As you've said, less frightening, for sure, than "to think that in another 35 years it will be legal, in some parts of the U.S., for a 40 year old man to have sex with a consenting 9 year-old ( male or female , or a horse ( but only if it's in the privacy of his own barn )," but there is the implication in your reply that, on some level, interracial marriage is "frightening."

No. You have misread or at the very least misinterpreted my post. What I said, or at least implied, was that the thought ( that only 35 years ago interracial marriage was illegal ) was less frightening. When I said - "that is something to think about", the that refers back to an IMPLIED "that" following the introductory phrase "And to think" in the prior statement. The "that" in the first statement is implied because the phrase immediately following is not in quotes.

SO, a logical expansion of my original statement to avoid ( apparently confusing ) references to wording in the prior statement would be as follows:

"Yeah. The thought that just 35 years ago it was still illegal in some parts of the united states to enter into an interracial marriage is something to think about.

It is? Why? Not that I disagree, mind you, but I've been waiting for necrophilia to pop up in this laundry list. It was bound to happen.

Does the Bible say anything about necrophilia, btw? Anyone? I'm not aware that it does, but my knowledge is far from exhaustive when it comes to the Bible :-)

The ONLY way you can save yourself on this one (the current "explanation" is coming across as wheel-spinning or backpedaling) is to convince us that the "frightening" you are referring to is that "as little as 35 years ago interracial marriage was illegal, and it's scary that we were so backwards in "modern" times..."

Good luck :-)

NO.........we are not reading the same book. If you take the time to peruse the contents of my previous submission, you might... after a rather cursory check... notice that I was explicit in stating that YOUR God may not be the one I believe in. I would seem to follow that if our Gods differ, so would the books, or is that is possible that you earnestly believe that only christians know the truth.

Are you serious? 34 pages of this, and no necrophilia? Don't you know it's the natural progression? If we don't stop homosexual marriage our future legislators will have to contend with a scourge of homo-paedo-bestial-necrophiliacs. I don't know what the Bible says about it, but it can't be good:0

Ha! I learned my lesson when I was crucified for suggesting that obesity was a bad thing. Do I wanna wade into the homosexual/pedophilia/bestiality debate?

I don't think so...

I'd say it depends on which side you're supporting :-) You can't go wrong criticizing necrophila and paedophila, I don't think... Side of the angels and all that.

Philip Roth's great novel "Portnoy's Complaint" had a very controversial scene in it describing autoerotic behavior involving a warmed-up slab of liver. Liver being "dead meat", does that qualify as "necrophilia"? And if not, why not?

Enquiring minds need to know.

This probably isn't funny, but there was a recent blurb in a NW newspaper about a man who was killed while having sex with a horse. Another man had brought him into the barn for that purpose but wasn't charged with cruelty to animals because the horse appears to be unharmed.

Just thinking about the situation, how'd you like to be the vet intern on call that night? Bradley! We need you to head over to the Feldman ranch and tell us if Black Beauty has been traumatized...
