Haven't you seen enough examples on RF to learn that everybody has a PHD in their corner?

Not at all.
I havent seen a single biologist with a PhD pretending evolution never happened for example.
I havent seen someone with a PhD saying rape is good for e character or some silly thing like that either.
Its important to clarify that we mean PhD in the APPROPIATE field. A PhD in geology does not make one an authority in sociology for example.

Pick any disputed topic, ideally one with moral/religious implications, and do an internet search on it. Make an actual effort to learn both sides of the arguments and you'll see what I mean.

What Peacemaker is trying to do is compare homosexuality to pedophilia (as we've predicted someone would try to do), but two words sink such a ridiculous comparison;
Consenting. Adults.
Consenting. Adults.

Why me? You are making the extraordinary claim.
I thiink Me, Sunstne and Father are still waiting for you to cite this doctors that say pedophilia and worst things are good for people (I doubt any of us is holding breath though)

The NAMBLA website would be a good place to start I would think. Anyone want to venture over there?

In real science, it takes far more than someone's seal of approval for something to be considered valid.
A PhD requires at least ten years of college study. Considering only about 5 percent of the human population even goes to college at all, how much less so the percentage of people who have a PhD at all, let alone from an accredited school?
Okay, that's one, and one that doesn't even pretend to hide its agenda. It's about as credible as those who claim fascism is good for the state.
What else you got?

That's the best you can do? We were thinking about objective studies, respected academics, scientists, doctors, etc.
Besides, Who outside of Nambla considers Nambla credible?

Guys, you're mistaking my point. I never said all these guys were credible. I said if people WANT to justify something they can find a "doctor" to back them up. I can't believe this is an issue. Yes I do believe that many people start out with a desire they want to fulfill, by subscribing to some rationale that seems half way logic to them they ease their conscience, and then they look for a "doctor" to back up their claims. I've tried to frame this as a general principle without explicitly calling out a particular side even if my biases are clear. Take that however you want but it is true. Many of you will allege that the Christian right is guilty of such behavior and Christians would often point the finger at their opponents in these debates on issues of morality. Hasn't history taught us that "scientific findings" are often a reflection of the morals in our culture? Another example of this principle is the scientific racism found 100+ years ago.

Here we go again. Yeah, yeah, yeah....I am only justifying my deviant behavior by coercing a "doctor" to tell me it's okay when I really only need to admit that my "orientation" isn't an orientation at all, that it's a choice, and that I need to stop thinking such nasty horrible thoughts about women (which is no better than thoughts about raping a child), and to just pray the gay away and try really really hard next time.
Heard it a million times. Next?

No, not really.
Since it was 100+ years ago, and is not part of modern science, that's completely irrelevant.

no, i have a 12 year old daughter and she is no adult thankyou very much.
Children are children, they can easily be manipulated for that very reason. Turning 12 does not make you an adult.
For once, we agree.
You left out your felt desire to convert all children to your own orientation and thus destroy civilization. But other than that, I'd say you covered the basics admirably. :yes:
