  • Thought police

    From Mike Powell@618:250/1 to ROB MCCART on Wed Jan 19 16:50:00 2022
    Yes, that's truly stupid to withhold help for people trying to do the right thing and not hurt others, especially if they haven't done anything wrong yet other than 'think about it'. Lord knows that most of us 'think about' doing the odd thing that is illegal or could harm someone but we don't get punished for just thinking about it, let alone seeking help to control it.

    Wait until the thought police become a thing. There are those here in the states that would like that (although they'd also be the ones most likely
    to accept paedophilia as a sexual orientation or gender).

    In a less severe example I know for many years a large number of homosexuals became priests because, if you had to swear off of sex anyways, it was better to ignore your tendencies there rather than do something totally unacceptable at the time. They still claim there is a much higher percentage of gay priests
    than there is in society. Rather ironic I suppose, going into one of the few professions that still condemn you for it..

    Yes, I have heard that also. I also heard that, although to a lesser
    extent, about nuns. Apparently several societies who persecuted homosexuals, including Hitler's Germany, usually only did so in the case of males.

    DirecTV (AT&T) already dropped OANN because of Biden's diktat.

    Well, I think in 14th Century Spain or so, it was not widely acknowledged that female homosexuality was even possible in practice. It was just something that wasn't in people's minds because a woman was not supposed to be able to please a woman :-)
