Hey, to Stah + KBA...

Yes, Stah, your logic does make sense. It doesn't seem to matter how we term ourselves, and it will always be open to abuse. BUT, only as long as we f**king well allow it to!

KBA, I fully understand your logic, and it makes total sense to me also. But, I feel we are socially somewhere between you and Stah, as to where we really are.

We are not socially accepted. Period.

Or, does it have to be that way? I know of at least 9 lgs (who I have specifically forbidden from postng on here, for their own protection), who are all for us.

When it comes to allowing kids their own free mind, they say 'Yay!'

When it comes to assuming responsibilities, of which I have taken great pains to point out the burden of, they've said 'Yay!'

So, kinda there you have it.

I'm a pedo. All of those 9 lgs know I'm a pedo. And, they're happy with it. To them, it's just a word. To them, I'm a nice guy, who just so happens to be attracted to young girls. And a few of them, are thinking, well, I'm attracted to him, too. so, it's cool.

And to me, pedo is just a word to.

You could do a whole lot worse to hurt me, than to use stupid words. And KBA, I know you're beyond that, too.

And Stah - 'nigger' is a word that comes from the Latin, 'Niger', meaning black. That term when related to black people didn't start as an insult, it was just a classification, the same as caucasion (from the Caucas mountains near Russia, regarded in the 19th century as the 'birthplace' of 'white' people) was.

But over time, the word 'Niger' became abused, and became 'nigger'. That's a total abuse of language, and as a student of English and Latin, and a human being, I f***ing resent that, and so should we all.

We should all resent it when a corruption of language leads to any of us being slaves. 'Cos that could happen to any one of us, and don't you forget it.

So, we shouldn't be slave of language. We should seize it, take ownership of it. That, my friends, is important. That's something we should do today.
