People who are intent on doing adult-child sex are going to find a way whether NAMBLA is there or not, whether there is real or virtual child porn or not. The fact is that the 1st Amendment basically says you cant restrict speech unless you have a very good reason, and the surpeme court found that no one was directly harmed by the creation of so-called virtual child porn so there is no legitamate reason to ban it.

Do I like child porn or virtual child porn? No, of course not. But just because I don't like it can't be a good enough reason to ban it. The 1st Amendment assured that mob rule couldn't unreasonably restrict the speech or expression of the minority like that.

Also, I have not seen many Communist shows on CNN or NBC or anything recently. I'm not sure where you got the idea that the Media is Communist. Also, I am no more a sheep following a lieberal ideology then you are being a sheep following a conservative ideology. If I am a sheep, so are you. We are just following different people.

Another point is that transgendered people are not freaks and it is not a disorder, they are just people who are confused about their gender identity, and many of these people DO get therapy trying to sort out their confusion. However, what you mean by treatment probably means "make guys think they are guys, and show girls that they are girls" which of course leans highly on making them conform to typical gender stereotypes which they are uncomfortable with in the first place (thus why they are confused). I hear that "Boys Dont Cry" is a very good movie about transgenderism. I have been meaning to watch it but have never gotten around to it. Perhaps that could be a good movie to enlighten you.

Another comment about you referring to gays as anti-heterosexual. Why do many conservatives seem to view things as black/white, right/wrong, pro/con? Do you not realize that there is more gray in the world than either black or white? Just because one is sypathetic to gays doesn't mean they are anti-heterosexual. Being heterosexual doesn't mean you are anti-homosexual (myself and other friends are proof of that). Are there anti-heterosexual gays. Probably so, just like there are some anti-gay heterosexuals (though there are more anti-gay heteros than there are anti-straight gays, even as a proportion of their given populations). But the vast, vast majority of people are people who are accepting of both, myself included.
