Flawed Research, Misinterpretations and “Paedophile Neurology”
26 September 2007“Paedophiles’ brains ‘different’“
“A Yale University team found activity in parts of paedophiles’ brains were lower than in other volunteers when shown adult, erotic material.”
The research shows that, when paedophiles viewed erotic images of women, there was a low level of activity in the hypothalamus, the area of the brain which is involved in arousal and […]
The Bill Designed to Create Sex Offenders
12 September 2007A source sent me a link to an article describing the manipulative measures used to push through the “Surrogate Stalker Act,” a link to the bill itself, and a list of the e-mail addresses of Californian Senators and Assemblymembers, now posted here.
Excerpts from Eureka Reporter
“If this bill eventually makes its way through the legislative process […]
Why Abuse Does Not Justify Ignorance
25 August 2007Allow me to begin this article by stating that I do feel sorry for people who have been sexually abused. The vast majority of people who have been sexually abused deserve sympathy and compassion. Unfortunately, there are some abuse victims whose opinions are warped to the point where they feel that their experiences justify attacks […]
A Wonderful Example of Bad “Science”
21 August 2007From New Scientist:
“Even accounting for an expected decrease in grey matter due to lower IQ scores, Schiffer’s group found that the paedophiles had about 2 to 4% less grey matter in the orbitofrontal cortex – an area of the brain that plays an important role in high-level decision making and reasoning.”
This would sound rather frightening, […]
Creating Criminals, from London to LA
15 August 2007The Metropolitan Police haven’t been very popular recently. They have been criticised for arresting peaceful protesters, sometimes using force against women. They have been exposed as being woefully weak against organised gangs in London, faling to prevent the murder of countless children from ethnic minorities. Most recently, they have been condemned for shooting an innocent […]
There’s a Paedophile in Your Neighbourhood
10 August 2007Actually, there are probably hundreds. How do I know this?
“Laboratory researchers have validated physiologically the self-report studies of nonclinical, nonpedophile identified volunteers. In a sample of 80 “normal” volunteers, over 25% self-reported some pedophilic interest or in the plethysmographic phase exhibited penile arousal to a child that equaled or exceeded arousal to an adult […]
The case for tolerance
4 August 2007The more you marginalize people … the more likely they are to actually commit crimes. They don’t feel associated with the society that rejected them, so why keep society’s rules?
I’m quoting Bethan Tuttle, a director with Mothers Against Sex Predators (source). The inverse of the statement follows: the less you marginalise people, the less likely […]
Spindoctrination
30 July 2007Jack McClellan is in the news yet again. He refuses to be silent, refuses to hide, refuses to be ashamed and refuses to violate the law. This frightens parents because he isn’t a stereotype. Maybe - they realise - the “typical paedophile” is not the mythical man with the moustache, weird smile and mug shot […]
Adoption in the City of Plymouth
26 July 2007Quoted from a recent local newspaper promotion:
They’re counting on you to adopt them
It isn’t much fun. 30-40 children a year in Plymouth are playing a waiting game.
Single children and groups of brothers and sisters of all ages, abilities, cultures and religions are waiting for a forever family to adopt them.
The waiting game isn’t much fun. […]
The ILGA, the LGBT Community and Positive Liberty
22 July 2007The ILGA, formed in 1978, are a group which advocates equal rights for LGBT people. They do not, however, support anti-discriminatory measures in general, nor do they support free speech. This is a result of their loss of consultative status on the UN Economic and Social Council, a loss which was allegedly due to NAMbLA’s […]
