Then you either did not read closely enough, or you are mistaken. I did not claim that
my opinion is the opinion of society, rather I stated that alan's opinion is not the opinion of society. I am not wrong in that statement. You then proceeded to agree by stating that roughly 50% of society supports the ACLU and roughly 50% do not.
Which is precisely my point. Alan's opinion is not the opinion of society.

Last time I heard, having sex with a boy was illegal. A group that advocates sex with boys should be illegal as well.

Simply because it is disagreeable to almost everyone is no reason even one single person should be punished for talking about it. Discussion should never, ever, be illegal.

I would looooooove to see someone try and defend NAMBLA or the ACLU's defense of NAMBLA.
|
It is quite simple. NAMBLA was being sued by the family of a boy who was molested and murdered by someone who had read NAMBLA literature. It is unconscionable that anyone would deem it appropriate to NOT defend NAMBLA in that situation. NAMBLA did not force the man to molest and murder the child, NAMBLA is rather explicit that the actions they condone are actions deemed illegal - that is the purpose of their existence. Thoughts should never be considered open territory for punishment. The rapist/murderer was guilty of a horrible crime. NAMBLA is only guilty of expressing their opinion.
That anyone would attack NAMBLAs right to express its opinion is sad.
That anyone would attack the ACLU for defending NAMBLA is a sign of a fundamental failure to grasp the principles of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
