That way they can depict it in their decadent movies and feel "progressive." I frankly don't know who attends their movies, I guess that is why our children have become hedonists, but their revenues are declining and movie producers are loosing money and they warn the wonderful stars that they will not be paid as much as they command. Nothing would be better for our moral good than a good earthquake change the coast from California to Colorado. Of course I would loose a good sister.

Therefore what the world thinks is irrelevant. Remember, Polanski committed his crime in America and has unfinished business with the American legal system.

The damage is done.

Is this a good argument that heterosexuals are also tolerating pedophiles or that heterosexuality itself is degenerate? As to Donnie McClurkin, I don't know what happened to him, but I was never molested by any male pedophile when I was young, and neither was any of my friends, so the argument that homosexuality is not normal but 'imposed' by male pedophiles is nothing but BS and wishful thinking by homophobes. the sheer numbers of heterosexuals who rape children, molest girls, rape women, and commit unspeakable acts of sexual violence against others overwhelmingly dwarf the incidents of homosexuals committing these crimes.

For example the Polanski fiasco. Confessing to drugging and raping a minor is all the evidence I need. And while true, every one has their own belief systems, there are some things all humans can agree on, such as theft, murder, rape, etc.. These are generally referred to as property rights. I can break my window, you can't, is a quick, pithy example. I'm not sure how you define rightful owners of the Americas, because humans originally migrated from Africa (current, best theory, but it's being really put to the test with recent archeological findings in the Balkans). So no one in America were the "original owners." You originally stated - and I quote - "some of the most immoral men to ever walk this planet." And you have in no way proven that statement. History is replete with horribly reprehensible characters. How's Mao Tse Tung grab you? About Vlad the Impaler? Ghengis Khan certainly deserves review. What about Jim Jones and his massacre? That's how humans treated each other since the beginning of civilization. And I predict it's the fate for humans for a long time to come. And despite pop culture, the Native Americans did the same thing. The Mayan massacres being an excellent example. 60,000 was it human sacrifices a year to save the planet? There were also a lot of other issues at the time, that they stopped teaching in school decades, if not centuries ago. For example, the Native Americans signed treaties with Britain, not the colonies, several of which, decided they were not bound to follow. Another is the population of America doubled in the first twenty years of our existence, and they would not fit on the sea board. George Washington spent his 2 terms trying his damnedest to use the federal government to force the states to follow his opinion that Native American tribes should be a federal issue, and accorded the same status as sovereign nations. Didn't work. And Thomas Jefferson wrote endlessly on how he believed the Native Americans were just as evolved as Europeans, and should be treated as fellow citizens. Too bad he didn't feel the same towards African slaves. I need a better idea of your definition of immoral. Oh I think immorality can be proven by facts, most definitely.

That my ancestors were raped and killed by self rightious Europeans counts, there was a war, we lost. Yes Washington was responsible for the genecide of indians in north western Pa,, but they were responsible for raids on settlers, doing a little killing, burning, rapeing, kidnapping (except the little ones whom would not travel well, those they bashed their heads in on the doorways when babies), Or do they not count?

But I think Trapp will be OK because his maternal grandfather will step in and be a father to him. Like Clarence Thomas' grandfather stepped in when his sperm donor flaked out.
