You are right, I see the evil of my ways. We must all join the ACLU in support of NAMBLA and the right of child molestors everywhere to practice their sexual preferences in peace. Even though I am an atheist, I am a conservative and therefore believe in God and Adam and Eve; this Evolution stuff is for the birds.

The ACLU has gone to court to protect NAMBLA and their right to exist and operate on the internet. Supporting NAMBLA is tantamount to supporting their practices. Just taking one look at their site demonstrates that. A communist calling me a liar, simply hillarious.

Communist? See, you don't even have a clue as to what you're talking about.
And the ACLU went to court to defend NAMBLA against being sued in connection with a murder case:
http://www.aclu.org/FreeSpeech/Free...fm?ID=8100&c=86
quote:
NEW YORK--In the United States Supreme Court over the past few years, the American Civil Liberties Union has taken the side of a fundamentalist Christian church, a Santerian church, and the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. In celebrated cases, the ACLU has stood up for everyone from Oliver North to the National Socialist Party. In spite of all that, the ACLU has never advocated Christianity, ritual animal sacrifice, trading arms for hostages or genocide. In representing NAMBLA today, our Massachusetts affiliate does not advocate sexual relationships between adults and children.
What the ACLU does advocate is robust freedom of speech for everyone. The lawsuit involved here, were it to succeed, would strike at the heart of freedom of speech. The case is based on a shocking murder. But the lawsuit says the crime is the responsibility not of those who committed the murder, but of someone who posted vile material on the Internet. The principle is as simple as it is central to true freedom of speech: those who do wrong are responsible for what they do; those who speak about it are not.
It is easy to defend freedom of speech when the message is something many people find at least reasonable. But the defense of freedom of speech is most critical when the message is one most people find repulsive. That was true when the Nazis marched in Skokie. It remains true today.

That's mighty different from your claim that they were defending someone's "right" to molest kids. I support your right to say what you want...does that mean I support what you say? Hardly.
The ACLU has been rather consistent in defending the right to Free Speech, for EVERYBODY, including plenty of conservative nuts. The simple fact is that nothing on the NAMBLA website ran contrary to any laws, as repugnant as the material may have been.
As a side note, I do find it amusing that the cons love to bring up NAMBLA, which is, for all intents and purposes, defunct. It has been noted that the website in question hasn't been updated since 1999.

I find it amazing you tell ME to go read the forum rules when the worst thing I have said so far is that Boris is a communist. This is the most lopsided liberally biased site I have ever seen. Even the moderators are so liberally biased to threaten conservative posters while your brethern have a hay day with the name calling. Nice to see you guys run this like an American university.

The funny thing about "moderators" on the internet is that it's the only "power" they can find in their lives. Besides Ming, I've never seen a moderator that was successful in life.

They're a little annoying but completely harmless.
Don't get him started.
