Slavoj Zizek - Rules, Race, and Mel Gibson 2006 4/8

[jeselmira2]

It is distressing to see how quickly Zizek accepts the proposition that pederasty is some kind of intrinsic practice or policy of the catholic clergy. This is a rather naive perspective on almost every level. As noted elsewhere statistics show pedophilia is not statistically more common in the c.c. than analogous institutions--which would mean that the church does a very poor job attracting and manufacturing pedophiles. His reasoning here is acharacteristically cheap. He is smarter than this.

[Krelianx]

Why would the development of previously heterosexual males into pedophilia through their involvement with the Church be a matter of 'unwritten rules' and not of an involuntary and non-coveted biological change? Farmers develop zoophilia just like prison inmates homosexuality not because their institutions have an obsene undertext which reads '...and you can have sex with animals" or "...and you can become a homosexual!" The analogy with the Nazi example is not well grounded...

you really should listen more closely, really.. and the change you're talking about is not biological, it's psychological

Who developed this concept of 'the neighbor' and what exactly does it explain?

[Hokayshenao]

"[. . .] the spear of influence" is a quote, but one such as this is less used. The use of theory is interesting.

wow. that "end of belief" stuff is scary. It reminds me of how quickly tasers have caught on in law enforcement.
