This is what happens when people stop trying to help those who have homosexual thoughts. These poor people who practice homosexual behaviors on adults or children are crying out for help and society is not helping them right now and we are all suffering. There should be Christian and non-Christian walk in clinics in every town where people who have homosexual thoughts can get the help and counceling they deserve with total acceptance back to society. The "gay marriage" charade is hurting these poor people, their families and all of society. Now these poor kids on the bus are wounded and we could have stopped it before it all began. Let's roll up our sleeves and tell these people practicing homosexual behaviors that they either get the help they need or stay away from our kids and families.!

Thanks for having the guts to speak the truth. What the defenders don't quite get is that if there is a stray gene for gay behavior, then there is one for pedophilia, one for cross dressing, one for transgender urges, one for bestiality, one for bisexual, and one for all of those folks in thier 30s who suddenly remember they're gay.

People claim they have had homosexual urges as far back as they can remember. There are also people who remember having desires as far back as they can remember that include mutilating animals and tormenting other kids, and, eventually, even worse....far worse. The difference is that some of those wrong urges have more dramatic and (immediately) harmful consequences, and are (hopefully) stopped in time. But, as it is, sodomy in today's culture has been embraced as okay.

Your ignorance astounds me.
What I find to be the most obnoxious of all? Is your coupling the 'gay gene' with the 'molestation gene.'

"Sodomy in today's culture has been embraced as okay." Let's cut the crap here and realize this guy- harmed children and not other consenting adults. This isn't a gay issue but one of an adult pervert, who has changed these children's lives, FOREVER.

Let's not stand up and pretend to focus on another issue because it's easier to bash 'gay' people. How about taking the passion you fill to 'rid' the world of homosexuality and instead spend your time understanding that this is not a 'hand-held' issue. One does not directly flow into the other.

You talk about helping people- and 'stopping this' in time,(which I think everyone would appreciate re: molestation,) but helping one while holding down another is not actually helping, at all. Want to stop it in time? Kindness goes a long way. I would wager that this man-(who has obvious tendencies for pedophilia and the like,) had -something- happen to him. Was he bullied? Did he experience a loss that changed the chemistry of who he was? Was he born with this 'gene' and it wasn't 'figured out' in time?

The point is: We can have sympathy for these children, and stop bullying and holding down an entire population so that we don't create more of Peter Stibal II's. Because now? It's too late.

I don't care at all if Peter is stoned, or has life in prison. I do care about the children he hurt.

Just saying.

You must be dangling some bait to get an argument started, otherwise I really feel bad for you, being that ignorant must be difficult.

Yes, by all means let's cut the crap. By definition, homosexual means people having relations with the same sex. Being an adult, consenting or otherwise, is NOT in the definition. This POS is a GAY pedophile! How in the h#ll do you people come up with this BS? Are you saying if this involved only adults,then and ONLY then, would it be classified as homosexual in nature? Unbelievable!

Remind me how gay sexual practice is any more or less moral than heterosexual sex. You compare it to mutilating animals and torturing children, which are both non-consensual violent acts. Gay sex isn't like those -- not any more than non-gay sex.
We had a story about a girl scout leader abusing his charges just this week too. The issue is abuse of power, here, not orientation. In this case, too, the guy *obviously* wasn't openly gay anyway given Boy Scout policy.

*Note: Where does it state that he is, Gay?
I don't think a pedo is gay just because he touches children of any sex. I just think that makes him a b^stard.

I don't think gay and pedophile are the same thing, but they are not mutually exclusive, and political correctness ensures that the newspaper will not report this, and we can find it an equally reliable indicator that he is.

The BSA official uniform includes the international scouting emblem. Does this indicate BSA support for scouting programs in other countries?

Scouting originated in England. In England today the official Scout policy is to not discriminate against scouts or scouters on the basis of sexual orientation.

I would be curious to see enrollment and financial support trends in the US and English scouting programs.

2005: FORT WORTH, Texas - Douglas Sovereign Smith Jr., a longtime Boy Scouts of America official who directed a national task force to protect children from sexual abuse pleaded guilty Wednesday to possession and distribution of child pornography. Smith was a national program director and staff adviser of the Boy Scout’s renowned Youth Protection Task Force. Smith took over the task force a couple of years ago when another employee retired. Smith managed the distribution of literature, video tapes, a Web site and other resources that teach children and adults at schools, churches and Boy Scout troops how to detect and prevent child abuse.

The Boy Scouts have had other problems with their personnel, including volunteers. A California court case in the early 1990s revealed about 2,000 cases of sexual abuse of scouts and other boys that Boy Scouts officials had documented privately for two decades without telling law enforcement officials.

Again, the BSA has an explicit policy against having gays in positions of authority. If this person was gay, he *certainly* was not open about it.

And in any case, you're arguing from a lack of evidence.

True--it is so rare that I get challenged in an intelligent manner that I don't mind you exposing the weakness of my argument....

I still think he's gay, though. That pix is lighting up my gaydar. We know one of the most important things to the media is to portray gays solely as victims, and when they do something bad just like mere mortals, it is difficult for them. Were he straight, they would have worked it into the story, just to ward off this sort of discussion.

You are arguing from lack of evidence by presuming that the local boy scouts were enforcing the national no-gay policy. In any case, perhaps dude was en closette as you suggest.

My own experience with scouting as a dad was that there are very few people willing to volunteer to work as scout leaders, and I suspect anybody who seems nice and is willing to help isn't going to get hassled if some clueless straight people don't get a vibe from him--or don't have proof.

I say this not in a mean way, but in a 'let's get real' way--how many gay people really think dude is straight?

Daily Horoscope for December 17

If you've got something on your mind at the moment it will be worth having a quiet word in someone's ear because they'll help you to get things into their proper perspective.
