• Report: Boy Scouts Set to Abolish Gay Ban

  In reply to am123.

  The problem with the entire premise of “are gays more likely to be pedophiles” is that the definitions of various words are completely fluid. For instance, is someone “gay” if they are a male that is heterosexual with adults, but chooses same gender sex when they commit pedophilia? Or are you definitely straight if you happen to be married? (i.e. Sandusky). Several sources online claim that you much more likely to be molested by a heterosexual than a homosexual, in some cases claiming as much as 90 times more likely. The only problem with that is that it doesn’t take into account the probability of being gay!? If you are just as likely to be gay as straight, then it does make sense, but this is clearly not the case. I’ve only heard anecdotal evidence, but I assume the gay population makes up around 3% of the population? So if 3% of people are committing, say, 6-7% of the crimes, then yes, statistically speaking homosexuals would be more likely to be a pedophile. But the truth is that straight men DO commit most of the assaults, so you can’t simply throw away that evidence (assuming you use a definition of “gay” to mean homosexual in all aspects of life). It would never be correct to say that most pedophiles are gay , but it MIGHT (I emphasize this because I don’t know the answer) be correct to say that the chances of being a pedophile increase if you are gay. But it would also not be correct to say that most gay men are pedophiles.

  I’m sorry, but who has been the president for the last 4 years? I know the answer is always, “it’s Bush’s fault”, but comeon, can’t you just for once admit that Obama is President when it’s a bit inconvinient for you. Oh, and no, I don’t ignore the fact that Republicans have been president, but it seems to me everytime we get involved in a fight overseas to help an oppressed people you Libs cry about “Give Peace a Chance” until we’re forced to give up.

• It’s Hard to Imagine What Happens Next

  That was a pretty cheap move by the batter to begin with (calling time out right before a pitch), but man, there was no call for that sort of reaction from the pitcher.

  As someone who likes to juggle and has tried very hard to memorize all the algorithms required to solve a Rubik cube, this is pretty freakin’ amazing.

• Parents of Transgender 6-Year-Old Raise Complaint Against School Banning Child From Using Girl’s Restroom

  Explain this one Libs: A 16 year old girl has sex with a 22 year old man and you call it rape (rightly so I might add) because she is too young to make that decision. But apparently a 6 year old is perfectly capable about making the decision of getting a sex change!? Are you kidding me!
