Originally posted by The Oracle View PostSo defending pedophilia because of politics make you look stupid? Profound.
"The hashtags #RoyMoorePedophile and #RoyMooreChildMolester have trended on Twitter over the past week. The New York Daily News ran*a column*that called Roy Moore an “accused pedophile” in its headline. In a live interview on MSNBC, Republican strategist Steve Schmidt*said, “Roy Moore is a pedophile. He’s a child molester.”
The outrage against the Republican Senate candidate from Alabama is entirely fitting, but the terminology is not. Moore is not a pedophile. If you believe his accusers, as we do, he is a powerful man who has serially harassed and even assaulted teenage girls.
The difference matters. Moore’s alleged crime was not a sexual orientation toward children. It was his willingness to exploit the unequal power structures of gender and age to victimize young girls who couldn’t stand up to him. To understand Moore as a monster outside medical or societal norms is to ignore the ways that his position enabled him to take advantage of his alleged victims. Much like the claims of sex addiction offered by other powerful men in recent weeks, accounting for sexual abuse with a diagnosis of pedophilia obscures the way that abusive behavior fits into our everyday sexual system that privileges powerful men to take advantage of the younger, the female and the less powerful."
But as much as the left hates Moore, they must just be throwing down some cover for pediphilia itself haha

Net neutrality simply means that the existing dominant players will always be the dominant players. Nothing more. Obama owed that to them for their help in 2012. Doing away with NN just lets the market decide (and opens up a lot more bandwidth for innovations such as self- driving autos).
But I must say that Dems are far better at using words than Rs. "Fairness Doctrine" assured progressive dominance of the airways by the three progressive networks. "Net Neutrality" really means keeping any other players out of internet or content. I personally would rather government would just stay out of the internet and the content it can transmit and let the companies fight it out. I do think it would be in the public interest to have broadband available to more people and not less and to have content available for less money than for more. That is what doing away with this payoff to the tech giants promotes. Plus it eliminates the possibility of "cost controls" or taxes imposed by the government.

Net Neutrality was a good thing. Something that a politician got right.
Lol, now we undo it primarily because we have to undo all things a rival party did.Last edited by AlabamAlum; November 21, 2017, 08:23 AM."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln
