Judy, above you said:

 A

who is attracted to young boys, if they are past puberty, is 
 no 
  more 
sexually disordered than a man who is attracted to post-
 pubescent 
young girls.

Do you think it is acceptable for a consenting post-pubescent 
 12-
year-old male to consent to sex with a 60-year-old male?
   
   I can't speak for Judy, but I think all Judy is saying is that 
 there
   is nothing disordered about being sexually attracted to people 
 who
   have reached sexual maturity. However, there is a major 
 difference
   between attraction and acting on that attraction. Even though
   adolescents are sexually mature, they are emotionally immature 
 and
   vulnerable, so there are age of consent laws to protect them. 
 Judy's
   saying one thing, and you're responding with a question 
 concerning a
   different issue.
  
  Bingo.  I've been trying to get Shemp to figure that
  out for himself, but he probably never would have.
 
 
 Okay, to respond to your request, that's what I meant.

*What* is what you meant?


 
 Now, answer the question.

  I can't believe I have Shemp defending me against Judy!  But 
  I have, so keep up the good work, Shemp! I agree with many 
  of your points. You are right that to think a particular 
  homosexual practice disgusting does not of itself 
  constitute homophobia. I do know homosexuals, and I like 
  them. But if I find myself thinking about what they do, 
  I find it disgusting. Better to be honest about one's 
  feelings and reactions than pretend to something else. 
 
 I've got a couple of gay friends in Chicago who
 feel the same way about hetero sex. The mental
 image of women naked and the details of womens' 
 bodies make these guys nauseated, and the thought 
 of men having to have sex with one of these 
 creatures makes them physically ill.
 
 So I wonder if Judy would be as quick to label
 them heterophobes as she is to label others
 homophobes.


Do they condemn heterosexuals for crimes against nature?

Huh. One Scientific American article showed conclusively that the 
most popular potrait of Shaekspear was a retouched version of the 
most popular portrait of Queen Elisabeth, and suggested that SHE was 
the author of a good many plays.

 Shaksper was an actor. He was quite a convenient front man for 
Oxford. I 
 cannot answer all your questions because it is some years since I 
researched 
 this and I have forgotten many of the details. But the best book on 
the subject 
 was published only last August. It's called Shakespeare by Any 
Other Name, 
 by Mark Anderson. I haven't read it yet, but it's a serious book, 
serious 
 publisher, and was reviewed in the quality press. The author has a 
website, 
 http://www.shakespearebyanothername.com/index.html, which may pique 
 your interest in the whole issue. There are also some cheap used 
copies 
 available on Amazon. 
 
 The case for Oxford as author is circumstantial, but the parallels 
between his 
 life and the details of the plays are cumulative and in sum 
overwhelming. 
 Also, it's been known for some years now that one of the 
few portraits of 
 Shaksper, known as the Ashbourne portrait, is in fact a touched up 
portrait of 
 the Earl of Oxford. This has been demonstrated scientifically and 
has never 
 been refuted by the Stratfordians (those who cling to the belief 
that Shaksper 
 of Stratford wrote the plays). The academic establishment refuses 
to take the 
 Oxford case seriously but they are looking more and more foolish as 
the years 
 go by. Their biographies of Shakespeare are a joke. Of course, if 
they were 
 to admit that Oxford wrote the plays, or even acknowledge the 
possibility of 
 such a thing, their life's work would be negated. They simply can't 
afford to 
 admit they are wrong. 
 
 Someone on this site mentioned Francis Bacon as the author. No way! 
The 
 only serious candidate is Oxford, and Oxford wrote those plays. I 
have no 
 doubt of it.

 Well, but there's no excuse *whatsoever* for

 If the sex object is past puberty, it isn't 
 pedophilia.

clinically.  A man who is attracted to young boys, if

   Okay, forget whether or not you were talking about guilt or

   distinctions...
  
  No need to forget whether or not, just acknowledge
  that I was not.
  
   I'm now asking you whether a 60 year old man who 
   engages in consentual homosexual sex with a post-pubescent 12 
 year 
   old is only guilty of statutory rape and nothing else?
  
  How should I know?  Look it up yourself.

Somewhere in your mind you've made some very odd

I've explicitly said that as well. It's a form of

I wouldn't describe the discussion as yelling, but it was a little bit

Um, right, like the Bible's stance on homosexuality,
the distinction between pedophilia and homosexuality,
the problem of AIDS in Africa, whether rape is about
sex or about power, the vilification of a minority by
the majority, the homosexual agenda, and whether
homosexuality is contrary to the laws of nature, among
other childish topics (with a few side trips such who
was the real author of Shakespeare's plays, the various
incarnations of the Comte St.-Germaine, the legalistic
content of the Talmud, and the Secret Gospel of Mark).

 I just don't know what is sillier -- people 
 getting all elitist and moralistic about their
 sexual preferences being better than other 
 people's sexual preferences, or people getting 
 all elitist and moralistic about their particular
 brand of political correctness being better than
 other people's.

Actually what's sillier by far is pretending
other people's deeply held personal convictions
are no more than a matter of political
correctness.

I have met gay men who were precocious minors who pursued men, and
I've met men who were pursued by such youth. And, from the sound of
their experiences, adult-minor sexual activity is not *necessarily*
damaging. But, nevertheless, their does exist between adults and
children a power gap, and the children need to be protected against
coercion and sexual predation. Age of consent laws are not a perfect
solution, but some seem more intelligent than others. For example,
there are laws where adult-minor sexual activity is legal when the age
difference is no more than a specified number of years. IIRC, the laws
in Holland are even more liberal in that regard.

Just for the sake of argument -- and logical inferences -- then maybe
specific laws against power and coercion in pursuit of sex  would be
better than crude age criteria. 

There are currently laws against various forms of coercion: rape and
sexual harassment laws. By your example, not all all, possibly not
many adults, use power or coercion in sexual relations. Adolescent
guys, I would guess, use power, coercion and mind trips to seduce
peers a lot more than adult men do.

If they do, why should age be a factor in protecting them?  Are power
and coercion of  a 40 yr old over a 25 yr old worse than over a
sexually active 17 yr old? Or a 17 year old over a 17 year old? And if
power and coercion are not used, is a 40 yr old with 17 yr old any
more or less damaging (or fulfilling), than a 17 yr old with another
17yr old?

And are 17 yr old women devoid of power? It could be argued (perhaps
by neanderthals) that they may hold more power over middle aged men
than vice versa. Take American Beauty for example.

  correcting your gross misstatements.
 
 No merely interjecting your nit-picking on works I read 20 years
 ago.  You read way too much into casual speech my dear!

Hardly nitpicking, I'm afraid.  Claiming we found
Urmarkus when what we really found was a snippet quoted
in a Clementine letter is a *huge* blooper, one a
scholar would not make.

 If you had a question, you should ask. It had nothing to do with  
 UFO's! :-)

I had no questions, as you know, Vaj.  Nor did I suggest
the snippet had anything to do with UFOs.

You're just like Barry.  When you attempt to defend
your disingenuity, all you do is provide more
evidence for it.

It just wasn't the thing for a nobleman to write plays for the public theaters, 
which were considered rather disreputable places. Writing plays was  
something lower-class people did. It was closer to a trade than an honorable

OK, even if that were the case, the profession became respectable and has been so for quite a while since. Wouldn't the Earl's descendants have wanted to set the record straight? Wouldn't they want their own ancestor to be known as the greatest playwright in history?  And why would the Earl have picked someone illiterate to be his frontman?  Wouldn't that have seemed sort of suspicious?

And I'm still a bit confused as to how someone who is so illiterate all they can do is to sign their own name, becomes interested in the acquisition of wealth, social status and property to begin with?  And how someone this low on the social scale made his situation so well-known that 400 years later people are still talking about it.

 Ah. One man's experience in repressed victorian England certainly
 proves your point beyond any doubt: 'all anal sex is dirty and 
filthy
 as is as utterly disgusting as the fag queer homo perverts who do 
it.
 I mean eeeww.'
 
 I know younger women who will only do anal -- in that it is far more
 pleasurable for them. And they say once guys have good female anal,
 they never go back to the other orface -- again the pleasure is so
 great. 

There is far more practice in controlling the muscles of the 
sphinctor than of the vagina. Most women don't even know how to 
begin, but I prefer non-anal by a good bit for many many reasons that 
have nothing to do with muscle control.

So much for the liberal casting of anal as a gay thing. But
 then you probably think oral sex is totally gay also. 
 
 And so much for your creationist design theories. Apparently the
 anal canal has a better design for sex than the vagina. Does that
 make your presumed designer gay. Most designers are of course. :)

 What is that, Feste? I mean that sincerely.  I have heard about the

 a single copy of it.

The homosexual agenda, such as it is, is to be accepted as full-blown 
members of society in every respect, including the right to marry, 
adopt kids, etc. There are anciliallary agendas, like the right to 
boink whomever you want, whenever you want, that helped contribute to 
the AIDS epidemic amongst homosexual men in this country, but the 
sexual underground for heterosexuals was never quite so media hungry 
as the homosexual one was, at least IMHO, so we heard more about the 
gay bathhouses than Club whatsis.

 
   that brainwashes people into believing
   that a homosexual 'lifestyle is just as good as any other.
 
 And the last time a homosexual approached you and tried to

Well, but there's no excuse *whatsoever* for equating
homosexuality with pedophilia.  A pedophile is one whose
sexual preference is for *prepubescent children*, of 
either sex.  That's just a fact, that's not an opinion
or a matter of taste.

If the sex object is past puberty, it isn't pedophilia.

than a man who is attracted to post-pubescent young

2006-02-26 Thread feste37
Shaksper was an actor. He was quite a convenient front man for Oxford. I 
cannot answer all your questions because it is some years since I researched 
this and I have forgotten many of the details. But the best book on the subject 
was published only last August. It's called Shakespeare by Any Other Name, 
by Mark Anderson. I haven't read it yet, but it's a serious book, serious 
publisher, and was reviewed in the quality press. The author has a website, 
http://www.shakespearebyanothername.com/index.html, which may pique 
your interest in the whole issue. There are also some cheap used copies 
available on Amazon. 

The case for Oxford as author is circumstantial, but the parallels between his 
life and the details of the plays are cumulative and in sum overwhelming. 
Also, it's been known for some years now that one of the few portraits of 
Shaksper, known as the Ashbourne portrait, is in fact a touched up portrait of 
the Earl of Oxford. This has been demonstrated scientifically and has never 
been refuted by the Stratfordians (those who cling to the belief that Shaksper 
of Stratford wrote the plays). The academic establishment refuses to take the 
Oxford case seriously but they are looking more and more foolish as the years 
go by. Their biographies of Shakespeare are a joke. Of course, if they were 
to admit that Oxford wrote the plays, or even acknowledge the possibility of 
such a thing, their life's work would be negated. They simply can't afford to 
admit they are wrong. 

Someone on this site mentioned Francis Bacon as the author. No way! The 
only serious candidate is Oxford, and Oxford wrote those plays. I have no 
doubt of it.

 OK, even if that were the case, the profession became respectable and 
 has been so for quite a while since. Wouldn't the Earl's descendants 
 have wanted to set the record straight? Wouldn't they want their own 
 ancestor to be known as the greatest playwright in history?  And why 
 would the Earl have picked someone illiterate to be his frontman?  
 Wouldn't that have seemed sort of suspicious?
 
 And I'm still a bit confused as to how someone who is so illiterate all 
 they can do is to sign their own name, becomes interested in the 
 acquisition of wealth, social status and property to begin with?  And 
 how someone this low on the social scale made his situation so 
 well-known that 400 years later people are still talking about it.

vilify a small minority they perceive as distasteful. Unfortunately,
when such attitudes are codified into dogma by the religious
industrial complex, they become ego chow that fuels separation and
ego-identity; purported to be spiritual knowledge, it is actually just
the opposite.

Even though many of the plays were written after Oxford died?   OK.  

I imagine in about 3 or 400 years we'll be hearing pretty much the same thing about Lennon and MacCartney: Those guys could *never* have produced all that music.  No way!  They were from ordinary families, not the elite!  They barely had high school educations.  And Paul MacCartney couldn't even read music! It must have been Prince Charles.

2006-02-26 Thread feste37
The official dates of composition of the plays involves large amounts of 
guesswork. Many of them cannot be dated with any certainty at all. Oxford 
died some years before Shaksper, but the so-called later plays can without 
much difficulty be placed earlier than they appear in the official 
chronologies. 

I'm unconvinced by your Beatles analogy, but it doesn't interest me one way 
or another what you choose to believe. You asked me a question and I 
answered it, that's all. Generally, I've found that people are skeptical at 
first, 
even derisive, when they first hear about the Oxfordian claims (although that 
is your general style on this board anyway), but the more they investigate the 
matter, the more convincing they find the Oxfordian case to be.

I made the mistake of thinking that your inquiry was a serious one, and I took 
some time to deal sincerely with you in a spirit of intellectual inquiry. 
Obviously, I was wasting my time.  You do not have a clue what you are 
talking about and you appear to have no interest in learning. 

That's my last word on the matter, no matter what your silly little mind comes

  dropped, 
if 
  he willingly engages in sex with a 60 year old man, then 
 the 
  60 
  year old is ONLY guilty of statutory rape?
  
  Is that what you're saying?
 
 I'm sorry, can you show me where I was talking about
 guilt or legal distinctions?


pedophilia = illegal

homosexuality = legal
   
   I'm sorry, can you show me where I was talking about
   guilt or legal distinctions?
  
  
  Okay, forget whether or not you were talking about guilt or 
legal 
  distinctions...
 
 No need to forget whether or not, just acknowledge
 that I was not.
 
  I'm now asking you whether a 60 year old man who 
  engages in consentual homosexual sex with a post-pubescent 12 
year 
  old is only guilty of statutory rape and nothing else?
 
 How should I know?  Look it up yourself.


(sigh)

Okay, let's try it this way.

Judy, above you said:

Also, just for the record, pedophilia is considered a sexual 
disorder, whereas homosexuality is not, at least clinically.  A man 
who is attracted to young boys, if they are past puberty, is no more 
sexually disordered than a man who is attracted to post-pubescent 
young girls.

Do you think it is acceptable for a consenting post-pubescent 12-
year-old male to consent to sex with a 60-year-old male?

 Interesting in a discussion of homosexual acts, you call 
 people suckas.  Anything latent you want to discuss :)

Nope. Instead, I'll sign off with something from 
another board that labels the different types of 
sex.  I think these labels work whether or not the
sex in question is hetero or homo:

Recent research shows that there are 5 kinds of sex:

The lst kind of sex is called: Smurf Sex.
This kind of sex happens when you first 
meet someone and you both have sex until 
you are blue in the face.

The 2nd kind of sex is called: Kitchen Sex.
This is when you have been with your partner 
for a short time and you are so horny you 
will have sex anywhere, even in the kitchen.

The 3rd kind of sex is called: Bedroom Sex.
This is when you have been with your partner 
for a long time. Your sex has gotten routine 
and you usually have sex only in your bedroom.

The 4th kind of sex is called: Hallway Sex.
This is when you have been with your partner 
for too long. When you pass each other in the 
hallway you both say Fuck You.

The 5th kind of sex is called: Courtroom Sex.
This is when you cannot stand your wife any 
more. She takes you to court and screws you 
in front of everyone.

*Oppps.. Don't forget ** Social Security Sex.**
You get a little each month...but not enough 
to live on!

Are you saying anal sex has become the norm now!!! I would like to 
know where you got that info from, I hoped it was still a minority 
thing.

By the way did you know the anal sex craze started in the 70's when 
censors in the US banned vaginal intercourse from movies, but there's 
always a loophole.

Do you find the image of an obese  man and woman having sex

That would depend.

Do they also claim that straight people are giving in

they would have been better off never to have done it?

Do they claim that those who defend straight sex are

Do they insist that they aren't going to go along with
the straight agenda that brainwashes folks into

other?

Do they ask rhetorically what is straight about being
heterosexual and say they just think it's twisted?

If so, then, yes, I would label them heterophobes.

 So I wonder if Judy would be as quick to label
 them heterophobes as she is to label others
 homophobes.

To document my earlier post, here are some quotes from
Feste's other posts in this thread:

-
Those who are so keen to prove their liberal credentials
by endorsing the practice of buggery might care to consult
The Secret Life of Oscar Wilde (2005), by Neil McKenna,
which provides many details of the disgusting nature of
such acts. After Oscar had his way with the young men who
came to his hotel room, the sheets were stained with shit,
and this was important evidence, as supplied by a maid, in
Oscar's conviction at his trial.
-
Ah, there you are quite wrong. I do not believe homosexual
anal intercourse should be made illegal, and certainly
should not result in sentences of two years hard labor, as
it did in the case of Oscar Wilde. Nor do I think that
homosexuals should be discriminated against. What people do
in the privacy of their own homes is their own business.
But it doesn't  mean I have to go along with the homosexual
agenda that brainwashes people into believing that a 
homosexual 'lifestyle is just as good as any other. No
doubt the sodomites on this board who have so recently
been giving out handy little tips on their practices will
disagree, as is their right. Everyone has the right to
choose their own path to hell.
-
I can't understand why the Christians are so upset about
'Brokeback Mountain.' To me it shows the misery and
destruction that homosexual acts can cause. Those guys
would  have been better off had they never done it. They
might possibly  have been happily married. They gave in
to a perverse urge and look where it got them -- walking
the road to hell.
-
Now of couse the real reason I am provoking such a storm
in this little insignificant corner of cyberspace is that
THEY STOLE A GOOD WORD. Gay was a wonderful word that
unfortunately can never be used again with its proper
meaning. After all, what's gay about being queer? It's
just sad.
-

Bottom line: As usual, Barry assumed he was so smart
he didn't really need to read the whole thread.  So
he completely missed the blatant hypocrisy in the post
of Feste's he quotes above, figuring the only reason
Feste was being labeled a homophobe was because he
finds their practice of anal sex disgusting.

Then in a later post, as he also frequently does,
Barry *made up* an issue that nobody had raised, i.e.,
that those criticizing Feste thought he shouldn't
be allowed to express himself, and proceeded to dump
on the critics for espousing censorship.

That's Barry's world.

Would you look more favorably on homosexuals if
they engaged only in oral sex and never in anal
sex?

And I keep forgetting to ask: In your opinion, do
straight couples who engage in anal sex have a
lifestyle that is not as good as those who do not?

Are straight couples who engage in anal sex walking
the road to hell?

 Judy, your analysis is, of course, dead on accurate. But, I can't
 help but think you take Barry far more seriously than he takes

 bullshit just to get a rise out of people.

In my observation over more than 10 years, Barry
adopts the *pose* of not taking himself seriously, but
it's only that, a pose.  It's designed to allow him to
wiggle out of his dishonest statements and attacks when
someone catches him.  The attacks themselves are deadly
serious, as is his intention to mislead and deceive
others.

You can't really tell that this is the case unless
you've followed his posts and exchanges over some time.
Just for instance, he'll say something untrue in a 
post that one *could* view as just kidding around, but
then sometime later he'll bring the falsehood up again
in a serious discussion as if it were established fact
and base an argument on it.

He's sometimes pretty clever about it.  I'd bet that
if you were to have taken a poll immediately after he'd
posted what I quoted about the issue in the thread
being the right to express oneself--i.e., his bogus
parallel with the Muhammad cartoons thread--a majority
of those who read that post would have thought he had
a point.

And that's a pretty serious charge, that those of us
who have been criticizing Feste don't think Feste has
a right to express his views.

hard to take this one as anything *but* serious, yet
it's just as dishonest as the one with the Muhammad

 them. But if I find myself thinking about what they do,
 I find it disgusting. Better to be honest about one's
 feelings and reactions than pretend to something else.

I've got a couple of gay friends in Chicago who
feel the same way about hetero sex. The mental
image of women naked and the details of womens'
bodies make these guys nauseated, and the thought
of men having to have sex with one of these
creatures makes them physically ill.

So I wonder if Judy would be as quick to label
them heterophobes as she is to label others
homophobes.

While I agree with you on the mechanics of his style, its not clear
why he constantly distorts things. Does he have agenda? Perhaps he
likes to promote a few minor POVs. But I don't see it as a crusade to
promote a particular over arching platform. 

I think its more that seeks to be, craves being, seen as witty. To be
the life of the party, always with a witty bon mot, piercing
observation. Why let truth, facts and logic get in the way of such a
fabulous pursuit?

Its sort of fun to watch. Few of his witticisms can be made around
true things. So its a bit of a game or puzzle to see what Barry is
distorting  today -- in pursuit of his fabulaous witty image. It keeps
the mind sharp to unravel twisted knots, to peer through his smoke and
mirrors.

Not if you're just making it up, no. People who say Jesus may have been a 
homosexual are simply trying to spin non-existent historical facts to  make 
them fit what they think is desirable. Doesn't sound very scholarly to me. I 
thought you were supposed to be a scholar, in which case I would have

However I don't think I spewed out any labels. I'm sure Judy will correct me if 
I'm wrong. LOL!

[FairfieldLife] Re: Unusual laws

2006-02-25 Thread feste37
As you well know, all these documents were written many years after the life 
of Jesus, in some cases up to two centuries later (if I remember rightly). They 
express different ideological agendas. Whatever lost  book  you are referring 
to is no more of a guide to the historical Jesus than the canonical gospels. It 
just shows that there were people then, as there are now, who wished to 
claim Jesus  as one of their own.

 That's another  one that was sure to come soon, the  Jesus

 about a historical figure, you can make him into anything
 you want. 

In this case, there's so little known that it is not certain that the
Jesus depicted in the NT was even an actual historical figure.

 Are you saying anal sex has become the norm now!!! I would like to

 By the way did you know the anal sex craze started in the 70's 
when 
 censors in the US banned vaginal intercourse from movies, but 
there's 
 always a loophole.





I see alot of movies...now and in the '70s.

I was NOT aware of that...care to cite who said such a thing or 
which movies started that (aside from Last Tango in Paris)?

 are that are particularly disgusting -- and if you find

 1) Oral sex. Do you find a woman giving a man head  to be

 2) Anal sex, Do you a man and woman haveing anal anal sex 
to 
 be
 disgusting? Better not even think about dating women under 
 30.

stimulates 
 a mans

during
  sex is
 disgusting? Again, better not even think about dating  
women
  under 30.
 
 4) Do you find 69 sex  between a man and a woman 
disgusting?
 
 Do you find the image of an 80 year old man and woman 
having 
 sex
 disgusting? 
 
 
 Do you find the image of an obese  man and woman having sex
   disgusting? 
 
 Are all or any of the above on the road to hell? 
 
 Whats the agenda of each of the above groups?

   I can't believe I have Shemp defending me against Judy!  But 
   I have, so keep up the good work, Shemp! I agree with many 
   of your points. You are right that to think a particular 
   homosexual practice disgusting does not of itself 
   constitute homophobia. I do know homosexuals, and I like 
   them. But if I find myself thinking about what they do, 
   I find it disgusting. Better to be honest about one's 
   feelings and reactions than pretend to something else. 
  
  I've got a couple of gay friends in Chicago who
  feel the same way about hetero sex. The mental
  image of women naked and the details of womens' 
  bodies make these guys nauseated, and the thought 
  of men having to have sex with one of these 
  creatures makes them physically ill.
  
  So I wonder if Judy would be as quick to label
  them heterophobes as she is to label others
  homophobes.
 
 That would depend.
 
 Do they also claim that straight people are giving in
 to a perverse urge when they have sex with each other
 and are therefore walking the road to hell, and that
 they would have been better off never to have done it?
 
 Do they claim that those who defend straight sex are
 just trying to prove their conservative credentials?
 
 Do they insist that they aren't going to go along with
 the straight agenda that brainwashes folks into 
 believing the straight lifestyle is as good as any
 other?
 
 Do they ask rhetorically what is straight about being
 heterosexual and say they just think it's twisted?
 
 If so, then, yes, I would label them heterophobes.



...and I ask Judy all those same questions above but to 
interchange straight with incest with brother or sister 
or animals or multiple partners...
