@Silenus6 I was molested repeatedly by an uncle when I was 9 years old. After 36 additional years of life experience, I've come to the conclusion that the damage I suffered from the ordeal was almost entirely caused by being branded by my culture as a "victim of pedophilia", as if it's the worst thing that could happen to a person. It's not- not by a LONG shot. You know what's worse? Leukemia. Being orphaned. Spending your life with your secret label "pedo victim", and hiding it from the world.

"If stabbing a person in the face did not hurt or disfigure them, would it be wrong to do so?"←Well if it didn't it wouldn't be nothing wrong with it.

"Likewise, pedophilia traumatizes children. Period. "←Not always true, in places where there was no social stigma attached to pedophilia, it didn't hurt the children. For example, there was a tribe where it was normal to have sex with minors, the minors group up fine unharmed in anyway.

@DogsneedpIeasuretoo , you are sick! You should be banned from You Tube, if you want to see a channel that believes it's normal to have sex with animals check out "dogsneedpleasuretoo" I am trying to have him banned from You Tube for making comments of a sexual nature in relation to a video I posted of our much loved pet dog, if you can please go to his channel and flag him!

I may not agree with what he has to say but he does a damn good job of supporting his opinions.

This man gives 75% of his income to charities like OKFAM. Nobody's perfect, but he's pretty fucking amazing.

@suzbailey23 I've never heard it put that way. Very enlightening.

"It is SO easy to justify slavery with your belief system!"←Really? Explain to me how.

"You claim everything is subjective"←Liar, I never claimed that, I claimed that morality is subjective. I never said "everything"

"You say universal/popular beliefs don't matter"←Only when it comes to judging people with morality, you shouldn't use something that is subjective to judge others.

[pacers3115]

@DogsneedpIeasuretoo OH MY GOD! Hypocrite! It is SO easy to justify slavery with your belief system! You claim everything is subjective. You say universal/popular beliefs don't matter. Yet, you develop a completely subjective opinion regarding slavery? bahaha now i really now that i cannot talk to you. if you don't draw the line somewhere with immoral acts (like hmm, murder, rape, bestiality) it becomes pretty easy to argue for all of them...

[DogsneedpIeasuretoo]

@pacers3115

WRONG, I don't use morality to judge between right and wrong.

Some things are right and some thin s are wrong, regardless of the morals of people.

Slavery is wrong, regardless of being moral by many 1000 years ago.

@DogsneedpIeasuretoo Human normalcy is one factor amongst many and it exists in the present day - and we argue about the present day; morality is a socially developmental progression by the human race - progression forward; morality is certainly subjective and if you believe anything can be right/wrong then there is no use even talking to you...
