Look, Dissy, I said right in my post that I don't agree with everything the (American) government has done and is doing with respect to MAPs and even sex offenders, and that has never changed regardless of my position on the contact issue. I am not an ideologue. I do not favor things just because my party of choice favors it or society favors it. I think the government's treatment of us is pretty damned shabby in some respects, though you know as well as I do that a lot of what we get from them is simply a reflection of society's feelings towards us, so to blame one is to blame the other. I just get fucking sick of all the conspiracy theories and dystopian bullshit that so many here espouse, especially when they aren't willing to do anything about it except endlessly gripe from behind their anonymous GC nicks.

All right, I'll say this to you, Markie: The anti-choice camp, along with the many government agencies, MHPs, the mass media, and academics who seek to suppress any type of objective study into child sexuality in general are major hypocrites for espousing concern for victims of war crimes.

I don't buy that. These are very different realms and people are bound to have different opinions and feelings about them. I don't think they're lying about their sympathies for victims of war crimes. I know I'm not. Furthermore, your insinuation that these people "gladly look the other way" when it comes to kids' right is ridiculous because I'm fairly certain most anti-contacters just do not view the issue through the same filter that you do, so your position is really a straw man here: you're ascribing motivations to them that likely do not exist and attacking them for it.

If you honestly believe that anti-contacters think kids really deserve majority rights but are actively working against that to oppress kids, then all I can say is that you have been reading too many comics or something. That's a simplistic us vs. them mentality, and that is NOT what's going on. I am certain that most anti-contacters, including me, feel that children must be protected not only from others but also themselves to some extent. I am not an absolutist on this and never have been; I do support a lot more rights for kids than what they currently have, including a system similar to what Epstein proposes. I just think you guys go way too far with it.
