Normand O. L.ParticipantThe old sexual mores have, to a great extent, been rendered inoperative. Those mores have been rejected and replaced by sexual codes predicated on “preferences,” with the genetic part of the argument having been practically abandoned for lack of scientific evidence. Taboos and ancient restrictions have been thus replaced by personal preferences. On what basis then, do we forbid polygamy? If there are four women who choose to be married to one man, if that is their preference, we must extend to them the same basic sexual freedoms that have been demanded and won by other former sexual minorities. i.e. homosexuals. The same can legitimately be said of other sexual practices that may not meet with the approval of the majority but that are engaged in by consenting persons: Incest. Pederastry. Even sexual relations between adolescents should be acceptable because age restrictions have no greater legitimacy than any other sexual restriction based on tradition/religion, etc. I’m sure those who propound the rightfulness of sexual “preferences” would agree with me – unless they would themselves choose to become the oppressors of different sexual minorities.

Normand O. L.ParticipantIf you haven’t seen the report referred to, how can you agree or disagree with it? I find it very difficult to believe that as a crime reporter you are not familiar with Department of Justice statistics in regard to race/crime. They are damning and justify profiling.
Additionally, if you believe that poverty is a better predictor of crime than race, then it follows that criminals would come only from the lower socioeconomic strata. Yet we see that many people convicted of crimes come from other than poverty stricken backgrounds; white collar criminals, for example.
Lastly, if it is only a perception that blacks are more likely to commit crimes, how do you explain the preponderence of blacks in prison?
