The Head Game of Terror… 2008-03-02 17:14:06 In the course of seeking truth and justice for inter-generational relationships, probably the single most complex and troubling group to deal with…is the victim minority.
This demands such a delicate approach…because the pre-existing tension is so strong, it creates an incredibly volatile environment…At times, this alone can make establishing contact and bonding, seem like an insurmountable [...] Read more:Terror
The nature of human attraction 2008-02-20 04:42:06 The following is a revised argument for Debate Guide. I would appreciate feedback on how it compares to the previous version (sexual character of human
ity), and any possible improvements to be made.
We, as humans are highly capable of separating the act of mating from sexuality itself. With our long life cycles and complex [...] Read more:nature
Debate Guide Update 2008-02-09 21:34:34 I have moved DebateGuide
from its on-site location to its own domain, at debate-guide.com.
For site administrators, the ftp details remain the same (simply insert [username]debateguide into the user field, instead of [username]newgon).
Debate Guide remains an umbrella project of Newgon.com (the organisation, as opposed to the website), and I encourage all interested parties to take [...] Read more:Update
Puzzles Of The Mind: Just What Are They After? 2008-01-29 23:42:02 “The Rind Report”…
…Do you know what it was about?…
It was published in the highly prestigious Psychological Bulletin (a publication of the American Psychological Association)…All published research, must go through comprehensive peer review, and be cleared as sound, before it goes to the press…
…so, there must have been something honest, and of value, in it…else, it [...] Read more:Puzzles
Puzzles Of The Mind: Two Questions… 2008-01-21 18:17:35 I would like to pose two questions…
…most specifically, these are directed towards anti sexuality proponents, who focus on “pedophiles” as their target.
A) What exactly are the specific agendas, of your war?
B) How exactly do you judge your own success, and arrive at the conclusion that your agendas have been accomplished?
…Now, I’d like you all to [...] Read more:Puzzles
“Sex before eight, or else it’s too late.” 2008-01-12 08:47:09 The infamous slogan of the title is said to be the motto of the René Guyon Society. Here, I outline an argument (independent of Guyon’s doctrines) that demonstrates its – naturally theoretical – appropriateness in modern society.
The argument needs a background context. It is essentially this: the existing social order is based upon exploitation in [...]
A change in paradigm… 2008-01-07 04:07:05 Maybe, it is just catching me off guard…Maybe, I’m just to accustomed to seeing the majority of child lovers retreating to shelter, and covering up from the world?…
…Maybe it is because I’ve never been a member of a “face to face”, “on the streets” group like NAMBLA?…
…but, I just have not arrived at that place [...]
Our Collective Trauma 2008-01-04 18:35:04 Today, participating in another debate on child sexuality, responding for the so-manieth time to the ‘argument’ that children cannot consent to sex because they do not understand it as adults do, I was struck with an insight that, while not strictly new, I had so far not realised the full significance of.
Quoted here is the [...] Read more:Collective
2007 Year in Review, and Looking Ahead to 08 2007-12-31 19:34:29 Bon voyage 2007!!!
I’ve noticed that around this time of year all the newspapers and media outlets run out their top-10 lists. For example, according to Time.com the top news story of 2007 was the unrest in Pakistan; the #1 fiction book of ’07 was The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz, #2 [...]
It [was] December 22nd…[in some places, anyway]… 2007-12-24 19:45:24 I am at a loss, as to why this did not go out to the main blog, when I published it a couple of days ago…I’m going to re-post it now.
Today is the winter solstice…chosen day of commemoration, for International Boy Love Day.
May today be wonderful for all of you, and may you spend it [...] Read more:December
On a Seasonal note… 2007-12-21 13:31:58 Stood in a store checkout queue yesterday, my attention was naturally caught by a cute boy – luxurious brown hair; soft, creamy skin; enormous blue eyes; maybe 5 or recently-turned 6. His mother, stood in front of me in the queue, was piling groceries (high-fat / high-salt ready meals, but that’s another comment) on the [...]
A Short Blurb About B.L.M.W. 2007-12-17 22:36:22 Greetings
This is just a reminder that Boy-love Media Watch (B.L.M.W.) does not seem to be sending out e-mails as in the past or noting stories where comments are required. Still it is important to refute the lies that are a part of the propaganda machine that is fueled through hate and shame. There are many [...] Read more:Short
“The Persecution Delusion” Delusion (A response to Wikisposure) 2007-12-16 20:59:19 Nobody likes to be called a bully—and how an individual or a group of people get into a position of power in which they can fill the shoes of “the bully” is a cultural barometer used time and again to evaluate the actions of the great bullies of history—yet we have seen recently the rise [...] Read more:Delusion

Absolutely Bad… 2007-12-09 18:05:31 “Absolutism breeds elitism and prejudice” - The Infidel Guy ()
This quote is so beautifully spot on…and it states so eloquently what is so critically wrong with absolutism.
Absolutism in practice disallows anything but broad generalizations about entire groups of people, all activities of a certain style, all mental interpretations and motivations (incentives)…
Absolutism is a logical flaw, [...] Read more:Absolutely
Berlin Court demands proof of copyright-protected works 2007-12-07 07:25:59 As you can see in I did not provide sufficient proof to the judges that my scientific work on Wikipedia was indeed of high enough quality to be copyright

. But I celebrate this first defeat as a victory since the case has been accepted and the required proof should be deliverable. Read more:Berlin

I Need to Believe… 2008-03-11 00:17:45 One of the biggest myths about atheists, is that “we believe in nothing”…
…a statement which could not be more false.
While I can not provide you with any “party line” list of “what atheists believe”, I can tell you that every atheist individual is unique, and holds trust in a variety of things.
I, for one, trust [...]
The Parrot in the Cage 2008-03-13 14:56:45 Anyone familiar with Jodorowsky’s ‘El Topo‘, will vividly recall the opening scene, in which El Topo leads his son, naked on horseback, into the desert. There, he instructs him to bury his first toy and a photo of his mother. “You are seven years old”, he tells him, “You are a man”.
This is inconceivable [...] Read more:Parrot
To Be Of Service: Your Political “Duty”, as a Sexual Deviant… 2008-03-18 19:15:44 So many of the problems surrounding our modern, “sex is abuse” approach, spring forward from our action of trying to box the entire issue up into a, “sex is this” and “sex is not that” kind of indoctrination.
…Does someone, somewhere “own” the patent on the entire idea of sex?…
…Apparently, some people have fooled themselves into [...] Read more:Service

The Words They Are A-Changin’ 2008-04-08 14:52:57 Our ‘culture’ consists of the knowledge and values transmitted by our language. In the process of learning language, we learn the meanings that other people have ascribed to particular words and phrases.
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean – neither [...] Read more:Words
Mind out for Mindspeak… 2008-04-13 06:30:15 …Daniel Lièvre’s rebuttal of AMC’s March 13 article for Absolute Zero (an anti-pedophile organisation).
The article concerned appears to be an attempt to use cherry-picked and unsupported medical literature to (illegitimately) justify the current trend of intense hatred directed towards minor attracted persons - a group, it appears, taxonomically confused with child sex offenders and generalised [...]
Finkelhor’s Flaws: Why David Finkelhor is misguided on child-adult sex 2008-04-26 16:49:33 At David
Finkelhor says this:
Ultimately, I do continue to believe that the prohibition on adult-child
sexual contact is primarily a moral issue. While empirical findings have some relevance they are not the final arbiter. The social judgment that slavery is reprehensible would not have been challenged by empirical findings that some slaves felt positively [...]
Byron confronts a pedophile on BBC television 2008-05-09 11:26:32 On May 5, 2008, the BBC broadcast an edition of ‘Am I normal?’ on the subject of sex, presented by the media-friendly clinical psychologist Tanya Byron
. It included an interview with a pedophile; an ‘out’ (but non-practising) girl-lover, who has been bravely campaigning for wider acceptance of child-love and for the abolition of age-of-consent laws [...]
Too Young For Euphoria? 2008-05-15 04:43:37 Round n round n round I spun at age nine, arms floating wide in the open air; almost as if being helicopter propellers. Sometimes, I’d even lift my feet off the ground testing if I could stay off the ground…I always crashed on the floor, of course…
I remember back to days long before the internet…We [...] Read more:Euphoria
UK: Criminalizing Child Erotica in Cartoons and Sketches. A Step Too Far? 2008-05-29 14:26:14 Yesterday, the UK’s ‘Ministry of Justice’ (do they also have Ministries of Truth, Peace, Love and Plenty?) announced plans to implement new legislation, criminalizing possession of cartoons, drawings and sketches of child erotica.
This announcement follows a ‘public consultation’ last June. The full Report, published yesterday, is available in .pdf format from: -phot Read more:Cartoons

Semantics: seeing I to I, or not? 2008-06-04 22:20:32 Many people have differing opinions and regurgitated definitions of what certain words mean. I respect personal opinions whether I agree with them or not, but I make a *”so-so”/”really?”* looking face when somebody digs up a dictionary or DSM definition of word.
Specifically, I am talking about the words pedophile, boylover, and child molester.

IYAC: Disingenuous “Children’s Rights” 2008-06-16 10:35:25 “OK, kids. We’ll listen to you, as long as you say what we want to hear”.
If ever there was confirmation that the club-wielding ogre known as the Child-Protection Movement has completed its brutally effective hijacking of the Children
’s-Rights
Bandwagon, this has to be it. Now watch me as I drown in my own sarcasm.
In just [...]
A Ripple in a Pond? 2008-06-26 13:36:49 A UK think-tank today issued a report (’Licensed to Hug’) which states that “the dramatic escalation of child protection measures has succeeded in poisoning the relationship between the generations and creating an atmosphere of suspicion that actually increases the risks to children”.
See for the full story.
Frank Furedi, Professor of Sociology at the University [...] Read more:Ripple
Apology 2008-07-19 21:41:35 I notice the Pope has just apologised for sexual abuse by catholic priests in Australia, though one lobby group has complained about the fact that he did not apologise to any of the victims in person, as apparently he did in the U.S.
Why have so many priests been caught ‘interfering’ with children in various parts [...] Read more:Apology
Spiraling Out of Control… 2008-07-13 13:38:09 Anti-pedophile hysteria has always been rooted primarily in the underlying, unspoken, desire to keep young people in a controlled, confined atmosphere. A greenhouse environment. Only in such surroundings can they be suitably conditioned and indoctrinated into becoming the obedient, placid drones that the social order needs them to be.
Fortunately, this control becomes self-propelling and can [...] Read more:Control
