Benjamin Franklin

Great how you all jumped on Pizzagate but defend this guy. Holy hypocrisy. Sure he's backtracking. He had to but the below transcript (there's a video too, and he talked about in at least two interviews) suggests that he wants to redefine pedophelia. You're comfortable with 13 being the pedophilia line? He is truly a right wing reformer! Milo: The law is probably about right, thats probably roughly the right age. I think its probably about okay, but there are certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age, I certainly consider myself to be one of them, people who are sexually active younger. I think it particularly happens in the gay world by the way. In many cases actually those relationships with older menThis is one reason I hate the left. This stupid one size fits all policing of culture. (People speak over each other). This sort of arbitrary and oppressive idea of consent, which totally destroys you know understanding that many of us have. The complexities and subtleties and complicated nature of many relationships. You know, people are messy and complex. In the homosexual world particularly. Some of those relationships between younger boys and older men, the sort of coming of age relationships, the relationships in which those older men help those young boys to discover who they are, and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable and sort of a rock where they cant speak to their parents. Some of those relationships are the most - It sounds like Catholic priest molestation to me, another man says, interrupting Milo. Milo: And you know what, Im grateful for Father Michael. I wouldnt give nearly such good head if it wasnt for him. Other people talk. Oh my God, I cant handle it, one man says. The next thing in line is going to be pedophiliasays another man. Milo: Youre misunderstanding what pedophilia means. Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13-years-old who is sexually mature. Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty. Pedophilia is attraction to people who dont have functioning sex organs yet. Who have not gone through puberty. Who are too young to be able (unclear and cut off by others)Thats not what we are talking about. You dont understand what pedophilia is if you are saying Im defending it because Im certainly not. Another man said, You are advocating for cross generational relationships here, can be honest about that? Milo: Yeah, I dont mind admitting that. I think particularly in the gay world and outside the Catholic church, if thats where some of you want to go with this, I think in the gay world, some of the most important, enriching and incredibly life affirming, important shaping relationships very often between younger boys and older men, they can be hugely positive experiences for those young boys they can even save those young boys, from desolation, from suicide (people talk over each other) providing theyre consensual. Way to misquote me and intro a Strawman. There are people here who hold this douche up as a standard. I shed some light on this despicable person and teased his Republican mouth breather followers in the process. Some already rushed in to defend Milo. So maybe I wasn't aiming this at you Monsiuer. The people who defend him should think for themselves instead of letting a lizard like this see the light of day.

Had no idea that guy Milo was a pedophilia activist. Sounds like he's all for lowering the age of consent dramatically. The Republicans really are moving to the middle.

I go to Sweden a lot. They are politically struggling with adding 4% of their population in the last few years for sure. But it's not a freaking war zone. Just a problem. Trump is a moron to cast Sweden as a suburb of Aleppo. But it plays well with the base.

And he is rightfully 1, or no lower than 2. He had to walk a political electrictrified barbed wire through a war. Only Washington compares in his lasting influence.

LA, when you play Obama Bad, it's no different than Bush Bad. So I didn't bring up that stupid line of reasoning here, you did.

Hillary lied about Benghazi. She ran a corrupt campaign for president. But Trump is president. He's only been president for a few weeks so no, he has a limited track record vs long term effects. So far he's done fewer bad things than his previous 44 predecessors (unless there is fire beneath all the Russia smoke),* but he's not setting himself up for greatness. Remember when Bush Bad bothered you so much? Obama Bad is just as dumb. Hillary Bad is even dumber. Maybe focus on Trump. * Might make a case for Harrison. That guy probably didn't get into much trouble.

Come back when you clear 3rd grade.

Making things up doesn't make it true. But keep trying.

It was ALOT different. It sucked but it was different. And Obama is now kitesurfing with rich people/cashing in his chips so I'm a bit more worried about the current president.

It matters to me if he tells the truth, but not you. Fair counterpoint.

My parents seemed to enjoy the talk but they are uber liberals.

Can't begin to keep up with yesterday's train wreck of alternate facts. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-press-conference-fact-check-president-wrong/story?id=45548271 Amusing moment when the reporter confronts him on his claim to have the largest electoral vote win since Reagan, and he says "Someone gave me that information." What a crock. Mouth moves. Lies released. We have never had a president who lies like this. Never.

You are in deep on the conspiracy stuff. I love that you dismiss so many accounts with ease then rely on the ever credible Assange. Keep bragging about your deep credibility DR. This groove is getting frayed. You won't respond to my requests for your 9-11 theories but I wish you would. Be proud of who you are DR.

So you don't think the DNC was hacked? Jesus.

Good looking people don't have to work at life. Who would want to be like that?

The DNC was hacked and the hacked info was leaked. Trump and many others have said that Russia did the hacking. There is no evidence that anyone hacked the election results. Did the hacking sway the election? Doubtful. People believe what they want to believe no matter the evidence. That said, I'm pretty concerned that public officials have said and continue to say Russia hacked into our election process with intent. And then the NSA director chats with an ambassador about sanctions. And then there is this inte report about the Trump campaign talking to Russian intel agents. I think it's fair to ask for more $&@king info on the previous paragraph from Congress.

Most definitely not a Trudeau supporter then.

You don't get it boy blunder. I've only EVER quoted the sources who have higher access than me (but not you amiright?). Neither of us knows 100% for sure if it happened. That's life. I choose to believe the people with opposite motives, who had information access beyond ours, and who publicly reached the conclusion that there was hacking by the Russian government. You choose to believe a limited public data set fueled by a back story of human squabbling in the intel community...to feed your narrative of a conspiracy whose motive is resuming the Cold War or at least the military industrial complex all to the benefit of your version of the Illuminati. My conclusion is based on public record of statements by people who I can hope would know, backed by no personal motive. Your conclusion is backed with limited proof driven by your desire to unravel a conspiratorial story you yearn to believe.

Tell me I tried to prove something in this thread besides that Trump admitted the hacking you nincompoop.

I said Trump admitted the hacking. Words mean things.

I said Trump admitted the hacking. You said hacking is the wrong word. I gave you the precise quote. And now you're back to argue that Trump likes banana splits. You do have a way with logic DR. Do you want me to quote there IC again for you? You like that one too.

I am also concerned when someone pisses on the restroom floor. Color me elitist or color me someone encouraging you to hit the bowl.

I love your obsession with me. Hacking is the exact word Trump used. You probably didn't hear that in the Grassy Knoll Monthly. "As far as hacking, I think it was Russia." -DT

And Trump. He also said Russia did the hacking after reviewing the evidence.

It makes you feel good to beat on him. But it says more about you and Tom than him.
