Should be have a plebiscite? I know if I insist on voting no, there will be two who vote yes just to be contrary so it should get up, just based on ratios.
Yes of course, but that is an entirely different point.
Families often cover for pedos too, whether through denial or embarrassment... or deviance, that happens too
Poor analogy.Nope, I said sexual repression was responsible for a lot of it, I didn't say all paedophilia was due to sexual repression neither did I say the church was the sole source of sexual repression.
eg, If I say smoking causes lung cancer, I am not claiming all lung cancer comes from smoking, or that all cancers are in the lungs.
Catholic priests are so underepresented in the sample, they are hardly when statistically relevant, even if eminently newsworthy.
Dont dodge the point VC
My original statement was - "I think all the different versions of Mardi Gras and carnival are just about having fun, celebrating sexuality, I would much rather that than a culture that celebrates sexual repression."
OMG, are you even reading my posts, where have I said that?Are you really saying that a normal relationship between two people is sexual repression ?
If not, why would a happy couple either hetero or gay want to prance around on the street making fools of themselves ?

That's your implication. Read my whole post for the logic.

Do you feel so repressed that you have the need to go on the street and scream your sexuality ?
Which goes back to my point that festivals like the Mardi Gras are demonstrations of immaturity and insecurity.
The Gay Mardis Gras was and is a political statement aimed at social change.
Who are you talking about? the people from the videos I uploaded? they were heterosexual.So they have got their social change, now they can stop the nonsense.

But, anyway, why would anyone want to stop a celebration they enjoy?
Personally I'm sick of the fawning media giving blanket coverage to a few mentally juvenile exhibitionists who think they soooo great darling because they happen to be in a one or two percent minority.
I'm fairly certain the e.g. New Orleans and Mardi Gras' are Catholic based on celebratory observances such as Shrove Tuesday, before the fasting of Lent.

Thats like trying to say Christmas is about Jesus, it may have been true before, but its not about that anymore, and now it is more fun.
I have no idea what you mean by thatSo you think because we have become more secular, the sectarian gay lobby should be exempt from that, but churches shouldn't?
I have no idea what you mean by that
