- dienaked, on 12/10/2007, -50/+281pedophile != gay
- rebotfc, on 12/10/2007, -6/+230Oh the irony..
( This is ironic, right?) - CaptMonkey, on 12/10/2007, -11/+180Is it still considered ironic when a strongly anti-gay man turns out to be totally gay? I was thinking "predictable" would be more appropriate.
- inactive, on 12/10/2007, -10/+162Accused != guilty.
- Bleue, on 12/10/2007, -12/+134Let's please not confuse homosexuality and pedophilia.
- missingnoh4x, on 12/10/2007, -8/+111I'd say that any openly gay scout leader would be more trustworthy than the ones claiming to be straight.
- UberNick, on 12/10/2007, -7/+103gay pedophile ?= gay
- gh0sth4ck, on 12/10/2007, -9/+103South Park already did this one...
- aspec, on 12/10/2007, -2/+80It's not a question of action, but of motivation.
If a man is gay, he looks for other men.
If a man is seriously ***** up, he touches boys. - cobrawu, on 12/10/2007, -12/+90Oh wait like Catholic Priests and Republicans?
- inactive, on 12/10/2007, -29/+92who the hell lets their kids go to boy scouts?
- andydumi, on 12/10/2007, -3/+65They can definitely manage as they see fit, but then they should not expect benefits from the government, like free rent in buildings and so forth. You cant have both.
- cobrawu, on 12/10/2007, -13/+71Oh my god, you morons!!! Being gay has NOTHING to do with molesting children! I absolutely agree that the boy scouts should have the freedom to include who they wish but that doesn't mean what they preach (intolerance) is is the right thing for our country. Some of the finest people I have meet have been gay. Get over yourselves.
- sonaboy, on 12/10/2007, -10/+64"Why do all these boyscouts keep trying to suck my *****?!?"

- oOLiquidNightOo, on 12/10/2007, -2/+52"billy, come on over here for a second son."
"as a boy-scout, let's say you were in the thick of the jungle. completely isolated from society .. and naked, your young firm body glistening in the sun with sweat .. and .. an alligator attacked you. your body and his intertwined in a kind of perverse darwinian knot, completely unnatural but .. exciting just the same. would you know what to do, no? ok not to worry son, i'm gonna show .. in this instance, i'll be the alligator." - BlueScreenOD, on 12/10/2007, -3/+47I agree to an extent. If a private organization wants to ban whomever they please, that's fine with me. However, if a private organization is being subsidized by tax-payer money, it's a different story.
If the Boy Scouts want to ban gays and atheists, then they should relinquish all government funding. - zdislaw, on 12/10/2007, -4/+46And yet there is. Pedophelia is considered by many Psychologists to be a separate (deviant) sexual orientation that is not tied to whether the person is gay or not. Sexual attraction between men is different than between a man and a child (boy or girl), and the Psychological makeup of a person attracted to children (boy or girl) is unique from homosexuality. This may not be commonly known, but it is certainly based on good science.
That's why it makes sense to say that Gay men should not be prevented from being scoutmasters, but that pedophiles certainly should. One is going to molest kids and the other has absolutely no reason (based on their being gay) to be any more feared than a straight man (unless that straight man is, of course, a pedophile). - amoirae, on 12/10/2007, -2/+43Wow. Spaza ays something ignorant again. What a shock.
I guess the tool didn't see the episode of Penn & Teller's ***** about the Boy Scouts.
A 'private' club recieiving publc money that discriminates against gays and athiests. - noahhoward, on 12/10/2007, -2/+42He was trying to keep out the competition.
- look4alec, on 12/10/2007, -7/+43He thought he could throw them off his trail with his anti-gay sentiment, or maybe he saw them as a threat to his monopoly.
- drakenlot, on 12/10/2007, -11/+47So being gay is immoral? You r'tard.
- Hoogs, on 12/10/2007, -4/+38My parents did and I turned out all the better because of it. Don't let these rare bad apples give the Boy Scouts a bad image.
- noahhoward, on 12/10/2007, -13/+46Why the hell would that be important. If you are molesting young boys and are male you are both gay and a pedophile. I fail to see how there is any confusion at all over this point.
- Nightwind, on 12/10/2007, -0/+33Actually no. The connection between anti-gay sentiments and fear/insecurity about your own sexuality is well established. That why the worst gay haters are usually either 14 year old boys (insecure) or older man with homosexual tendencies (in denial or fear). It's self-hate directed at others.
Mature heterosexual males' attitudes towards gay men are usually either characterized by complete indifference or mild amusement.
On a personal note, you all can turn gay tomorrow, and I'd greatly appreciate that. Jessica Alba is all mine then! Mineeee! - crimson117, on 12/10/2007, -1/+29Yet the scouts ban all gays, instead of just gay pedophiles.
- inactive, on 12/10/2007, -4/+32Translation: Spaza supports Boy Scout leaders who molest kids.
Thanks sharing, genius. - IHaveIssues, on 12/10/2007, -3/+30Wow James, you're full of pure hate for all things Liberal aren't ya?

- tdogg241, on 12/10/2007, -13/+37Child molestation is a form of rape, meaning it's less about sex than it is about power.
- phy6uva, on 12/10/2007, -1/+24Oh crap! My beautiful wife is gay.
- inactive, on 12/10/2007, -4/+27Not according to DSM IV. Many pedophile molesters of boys strenuously deny that they are gay, and do not live a gay lifestyle. Pedophilia is a completely different state, it's a mental illness, and has nothing to do with the sexual polarity of the person.
- awesometothemax, on 12/10/2007, -3/+25Umm.... FYI, being gay is A LOT different than being a damn pedophile. Not really the same thing.
- oneniner, on 12/10/2007, -6/+28You could use 'the shocker' to get your head outta your @ss!
- Ninnux, on 12/10/2007, -1/+23Isn't there a theory in psychology that states you fear most what you resent about yourself?
- slimnickyy, on 12/10/2007, -5/+27This is because gay men do not wish to molest young boys, only pedophiles do. Therefore these anti-gay policies are ridiculous, hurtful and ignorant as they do not target sexual predators at all. Yes there may be some gay men that are pedophiles, but there's just as many men who do not identify as gay but who wish to abuse male children. The two are not linked and it's sad that this has happened to this boy, but it's also sad that men who happen to be gay are excluded by the very people who actually wish to cause harm to children, as happened in this case.
- thirdman, on 12/10/2007, -1/+22He's full of something...
- missingnoh4x, on 12/10/2007, -1/+21Private organization that my tax dollars pay for. And what the hell do "activist judges" have to do with anything? You're just spouting ***** buzzwords.
- noahhoward, on 12/10/2007, -4/+23Please explain the bury count to me. No one is saying all gays are pedophiles rather, they are pointing out that the anti-gay man in this article is both gay and a pedophile.
- CaptMonkey, on 12/10/2007, -5/+24It said the "children" were ages 13-17. So since they were under 18, he's not gay, right? Had that oldest kid been 18, he'd be totally gay, though, correct? I'm not saying that pedophilia and homosexuality are the same thing, but this guy is pretty clearly gay. You might have a point had the victims been younger and of both sexes. It seems that his repressed homosexuality didn't allow him to go out and look for other men, so he used his position to have sex with males who he thought he could keep quiet.
- amoirae, on 12/10/2007, -2/+21Spaza spends so much time slamming gays and leftists, often equating them to pedophiles that I wonder... is Spaza Larry Craig or the reincarnation of John Wayne Gacy?
- inactive, on 12/10/2007, -5/+23A man having sex with a male child isn't gay, it's ***** up... well maybe a slightly gay kind of "***** up". It seems to me, people who get caught doing this usually have hetero marriages and children. It's way more ***** up than gay. I think most gay men would have more sense than this.
- danielman94, on 12/10/2007, -13/+31IT'S LIKE RAAAIN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY!
- govsucks, on 12/10/2007, -3/+21Yeah, don't allow gays, but pedophiles are OK. Jeez what a ***** up individual. I really don't care if someone is gay, not really my business what they do with their life. But when someone starts molesting kids, male or female, its time to prop a knife up in them.
- inactive, on 12/10/2007, -0/+17Can we just officially make outward homophobia one of the tell-tale signs that you are gay?
"Gays go to hell! God hates fags!" - Guy on Street Corner
"So when are you planning on telling your parents?" - Me, Also on Street Corner - Ouchimoo, on 12/10/2007, -3/+20uh because gay people feel attraction to the same sex, end of story. To declare them as pedo's would be saying that you like 11 year old girls because you're straight.
Pedophiles and rapists attack because they have dominance issues. Its their sick way of "look I have power over you!" regardless of the victims sex - fani, on 12/10/2007, -2/+19Finally, a valid event where "ironic" can be used properly...
- colonelpanic, on 12/10/2007, -4/+21Scouting is a great program. I can't think of a better way to teach one leadership skills. Unfortunately, things like this occur and give scouting a bad image-one that it does not deserve. This is one corrupt leader-not all scout leaders are immoral child molesters, as bad press like this might make you think.
@pedrovoltaire
The same could be said for a lot of things-it doesn't mean that its anything more than you're opinion. (I.E "Who the hell lets their kids go to a catholic church.") Thanks to the scouting program, I have, in my opinion, exceptional leadership skills, the rank of Eagle Scout (which looks great on a resume or college application I might add) and I can read a map, tie knots, build a fire, or set up a campsite better than almost everybody I know. Maybe you should look a little deeper into the scouting program, and what it can do for somebody. - gtluke, on 12/10/2007, -2/+19such a shame. i had a fantastic experience in scouts for most of my younger years. i'd love to let my kinds have the same experience but it seems to be going all to ***** now.
guess its our own fault for not volunteering ourselves and getting normal dads in there to help and teach. -
