“well japan attacked first”

War is not something I listed as an atrocity to be ashamed of, and is unrelated to my point.

It only becomes an atrocity if you resort to genocide, weapons of mass destruction, chemical warfare, slavery etc etc

Remember how candidly Anne Frank described getting her period in her famous diary?

“I can hardly wait,” she wrote. “It’s such a momentous event. Too bad I can’t use sanitary napkins but you can’t get them anymore, and Mama’s tampons can be used only by women who’ve had a baby.”

For Japanese readers in the 1960s, Anne’s enthusiasm so compellingly shattered a cultural taboo that not only did the first day of menstruation get the moniker “Anne’s Day,” but a tampon company released a tampon called—yes, exactly as you feared: Anne.

As a recent article in Tablet‘s print edition reminds us, the Japanese fascination with Anne Frank is not all menstrual. And as Alain Lewkowicz, a French Jewish journalist details in his interactive iPad application “Anne Frank in the Land of Manga,” the murdered Dutch girl represents something the Japanese are looking for: historical absolution.

“She symbolizes the ultimate World War II victim,” Lewkowicz told JTA. “And that’s how most Japanese consider their own country because of the atomic bombs — a victim, never a perpetrator.”

The “Anne” tampon was perhaps the earliest example of what Japanese literary scholar Norihiro Kato called the “cuteification” of Anne Frank, and of Japanese history. “It has neutralized issues that are too painful to deal with by rendering them purely aesthetic, and harmless — by making them ‘cute.’”

“Cute” isn’t exactly the word we’d use to describe the tampons, but we do appreciate a good history lesson.

You cannot just remove gender from the mix because it doesn’t fit your narrative. Theres an age term for adults too, its called teleiophillia, people who are primarily attracted to adults aren’t attracted to them regardless of their gender. That’s not how it works.

Pleebo's argument only works if one is attracted to children in general and doesn't have a gender preference. Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing that that is probably not the case for most pedos.

It's not a huge logical leap to call a grown man who is attracted to only boys a homosexual.

Naturally you guys dismiss evidence based reasoning in favor of your own personal feeling that you're correct.
The EXACT point is that this isn't the normal case. It's *** like what you're arguing that to this day still help fuel the idea that gay guys cant be trusted with kids despite that idea being widely discredited for a while now. But hey you think it triggers the libs to passively defend bigotry so it's all worth it.

Speakin' a NUKES it's August 6th! happy anniversary of Hiroshima

I didn't miss any point. You're arguing against widely accepted psychology based on nothing other than you're own animosity towards anything remotely resembling a liberal platform. It's not. It's a conclusion that goes back at least 20 years.

That link was full of studies show no link and even a list of studies used to argue for a link but cited erroneously. Whether or not they're easily accessible is another thing.

Actually Donny most wars are over land disputes but. Since most of Canada is not habitable. You wouldn't know what war is good for !

You know that tribe that existed but you've never heard of it? That's right, because it was annihilated and no record of it exists.

Not true, I found it. They were called Quest. Here's a record of their existance.

He's an idiot and a nutjob though. Who listens to and believes in what he has to say that isn't also completely deranged?

Social Media Companies are not the government, it’s not a free speech issue.

You'll cry agenda whenever it suits you because it's easier than formulating an actual argument. It's a list of peer-reviewed studies most of which are probably behind a pay wall but contain the analysis you're asking for. If you're looking to get spoon fed, then well lolno.

We don't need to be reminded how little you know about climate change.

Where's your support for saying that homosexuals are more likely to be child predators btw?

LOOOOOL ok man you got me. A $1000 IOU is just the proof I needed. I'm convinced!
