It's been a tiring but a relatively good week for me. Fell asleep mainly during econs and maths lecture because I had a lack of sleep for the entire week. Sadly though, I woke up at 9am this morning instead of a later timing that I'd preferred.
I've been wondering about a question. Exactly how 'wrong' are these controvesial issues such as incest/homosexuality/paedophilia?
To me, at least...
Paedophilia is something that I'll never approve of. People who take advantage of a child's innocence to commit such filthy acts for their own satisfaction disgust me. There can be nothing to make this act more acceptable, because the victim in question had been dealt with a heavy blow because of their ignorance and trust of others. The hurt and trauma left over from the incident is a long lasting one, because a childhood hurt costs more than an adult one. Children are vulnerable.
Incest... It depends, I supposed. If 2 perfectly logical adults who happen to be siblings are in love together with each other, I say let them be. If either party is not willing to go through with it, then I think it's time to stop and step into the picture. It is never right for you to enter the picture (that was not yours to begin with) and enforce your perspectives. That's arrogance. What you think to be wrong may not be what others think to be wrong. To interfere in a person's private matters without their permission or consent is a downright despicable thing to do.
On the note of homosexuality, my view still stands. If both parties are willing, get your excruciatingly long nose of other people's business. If a guy gets raped by another guy, the authorities should step in. But it should not be the homosexual behaviour that is judged, but the act of rape itself.
Open your eyes wide. The trauma of a girl being raped by a guy is the same amount of trauma faced if she was raped by a girl. Not only gay people get AIDS, straight people do get AIDS too. in fact, it is often the straight people who do not protect themselves more often that the gay people. Next time when you say scathing words about homosexuals, think about the logicality and validity of your words and accusations.

Wah, i agree with you.
i agree with you and i get what you are trying to get at. but still, you should not have grouped homosexuality with pedophilia and incest. or even used "what's WRONG wtih homosexuality...".
to anon: I apologise if the phrasing made it seem like I'd grouped homosexuality with incest and paedophilia to sound offensive, but it is not so. I'd grouped them together because these are the most prominent controversial issues in religion and most societies and I wanted an entity to address all three issues together. I was trying to take the perspective of the conservative, and it is exactly a conservatives' mindset to categorise these 3 very different issues together.
