Can someone please explain to me why a "drag show" is suddenly the epitome of evil?

[vulcanlogician]

Sexual inappropriate is different from sexually dangerous.

I've been to many concerts growing up. Didn't see many young kids at them. Have you?

Considering I like artists like RATM and Dr. Dre, no. Not many kids. But kids DO go to concerts.

Question: Would it be "sexually inappropriate" to take a kid to a Tina Turner concert in your opinion?

The backlash from the right has far more to do with sanctimony than it does any legitimate concern for children's well-being. Case in point; their stance on healthcare and gun control.

What did the blacks, immigrants, communists, and gays do that can be interpreted as "attempting to influence children"?

Did anyone answer your question here?

I'm curious of the reply.

I missed it. Sorry.

I don't know if they did anything. But I do know they were accused of it.

I think just existing, being seen, is enough for some bigots to accuse them of "coming after the children".

 

[Kfox]

So then why are we whining if the kids attending these shows have their parents' permission? If they're not their kids, then they should mind their own business, right?

"We" are not whining, it is a bunch of people who are not a part of this conversation; people you are asking about who are doing all the whining.

 

[Kfox]

Clearly. But can any good person defend the gruesomeness and cruelty of the Nazis.

Just as I know Muslims who don’t support some of the gruesomeness and cruelty some Muslims do, yet they support what they stand for, you don’t have to defend the gruesomeness and cruelty some Nazis did to agree with some of the things they stand for.

But when someone's actions are based on irrational reasons and needlessly cause harm, discrimination and a denial of rights to others it's hatred.

Again; subjective. They see their actions as rational by fighting those who needlessly cause harm.

I don't think it has much to do with "well-being" as it has to do with what is right.

No

Me too!

Who accused them of appealing to children?

No, drag queens have been seen and have existed for forever and a day; nobody complained till they started reading to children. Its gotta be more than that.

People don't vote Green because Hitler probably would have generally agreed with them.

Again; subjective. They see their actions as rational by fighting those who needlessly cause harm.

So? The Nazis thought their eugenics was good (though at least Goebbels and Hitler didn't on a personal level).
But it doesn't matter. Their policies where an extreme violation of human rights. They claim it was all for thr greater good,but at the end of the day they saw others as being lesser. But that doesn't make it right.

 

[Father Heathen]

I don't think it has much to do with "well-being" as it has to do with what is right.

Why is well being in quotations? Why wouldn't that be part of the criteria for what's "right"? Is it nothing more than arbitrary religious objections?

 

[Kfox]

Why is well being in quotations? Why wouldn't that be part of the criteria for what's "right"?

Because what constitutes well-being, and what's right is completely subjective; meaning it varies from person to person

No idea what you mean here.

Would you agree violating the human right to do wrong is justified?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

No idea what you mean here.

Would you agree violating the human right to do wrong is justified?

Hitler himself was pro-environment and animal rights. He even planned on shutting down the slaughterhouses in Germany after the war. But he was still a bad person and no one defends him because he happened to have a few good policies.
And I do not accept there is a human right to do wrong.

 

[Kfox]

And I do not accept there is a human right to do wrong.

So just because something is a violation of human rights doesn’t make it wrong, agree?

If you're a sociopath there's no problem there.

Were all of those people who thought slavery was a good idea; sociopaths? You don't have to be a sociopath in order to have ideas that should not be allowed IMO

 

[fantome profane]

There were two kinds of people who thought slavery was a good idea. Those who did not understand what slavery was, and those who understood, but were sociopaths.

If you understand that something is a violation of human rights, but still think it is right, you are a sociopath.

 

[Kfox]

There were two kinds of people who thought slavery was a good idea. Those who did not understand what slavery was, and those who understood, but were sociopaths.

So according to you the vast majority of people throughout history were sociopaths and only recently have mankind evolved to understand to the point of not being sociopaths? Really???

If you understand that something is a violation of human rights, but still think it is right, you are a sociopath.

Your human right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins. Do you agree?
