Re: more roy moore
Not that I want to pick the flysh|t out of the pepper, but I wish people would stop using the word 'pedophile', as it applies to Roy Moore. Pedophilia specifically refers to an adult attraction to pre-pubescent children.. which wasn't Roy Moore's M.O.
Not that hitting on 14 year olds, as a 32 year old man, isn't bad enough, of course....."Reason and facts are sacrificed to opinion and myth. Demonstrable falsehoods are circulated and recycled as fact. Narrow minded opinion refuses to be subjected to thought and analysis. Too many now subject events to a prefabricated set of interpretations, usually provided by a biased media source. The myth is more comfortable than the often difficult search for truth."

Re: more roy moore
I agree with Norm's quibble - I've made the same quibble before. Moore doesn't seem attracted to 9 year olds, but to post-pubescent young teens. Every bit as execrable for a grown man to act on, but slightly more understandable. It is, after all, virtually the same visual meme that the modeling industry has banked on for decades.If I use the word "God," I sure don't mean an old man in the sky who just loves the occasional goat sacrifice. - Anne Lamott

The whole column is worth reading, but they also cite the DSM:
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders defines pedophilic disorder as when an individual over 16 experiences “recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children (generally age 13 years or younger).” As far as we know at present, the youngest girl whom Moore allegedly pursued was 14 years old. Other accusers were 16 or 17 years old when he approached them. These teenagers were not prepubescent children.

One should also note that there are some very well developed/mature 14 year old girls and by the very same token there are some very UNdeveloped/IMmature 14 year old girls.Last edited by Rum_Pirate; 12-05-2017, 08:51 AM.Comment

Re: more roy moore
At the time of the incidents the age of consent in AL may have been 14 (it's 16 now). Moore may not have done anything illegal.
Morally it's another matter and one the voters of AL will have to decide. I'm not optimistic they'll make the right choice. They already chose him over Strange. I've seen several AL voters interviewed on the news. Most spew some version of " we won't let the rest of the country tell us what to do". They'll vote for him out of definance.
Just as the nations of the world look at us in disbelief over the election of Trump, so should the voters of the other 49 states view AL if Moore is victorious. Regardless of the law he's a truly disgusting, disturbed individual.Fight Entropy, build a wooden boat!Comment

Re: more roy moore
I would not be surprised if there are calls for a general boycott of the State of Alabama, if the voters elect Moore.
These types of boycotts are generally reserved for government actions. If there is one it would be a first.Skip

Re: more roy moore
It remains to be seen, the result of the election will tell, how the majority of people that vote in Alabama view Mr Moore.
There was another thread where I pointed out that a particular person's deeds should have counted against him, but others on this forum said that the overall effect basically pushed that deed (a slave owner) into the background.
Must have a look and see if the same persons are doing this for Mr Moore or are not doing this for Mr Moore.Comment
