Just attempting to establish some reasonable dialogue here: May I ask you what your purpose is? You consistantly state that your purpose is to discuss the "rights of boys (children?)" but I have yet to see you actually address the issue. How are we to discuss something that you yourself don't appear to want to discuss? WHAT is it that you want to discuss, aside from a generalized "rights of boys"? What rights do you want to discuss? Do these rights concern ALL children or just boys? Do you even care about the rights of girls? All I've seen from you is criticism of something we are NOT doing, but what have you offered to aid us in doing so? Second, I've noticed that you are offended by the terminology that "certain people" use...and that you've been offered a chance to come up with the terminology that you would like to use. But have yet to even attempt to do so. Yet again, you offer criticism but nothing to constructively alter the "problem". Third, I've noticed that you seem to have some religious beliefs (vague as they may be in your posts) and I wonder what they may be. Would you care to offer some discussion on how your religious beliefs effect your stance on the "rights of boys"? This is CHRISTIAN boylove forum afterall (not that you HAVE to discuss your religious beliefs, or anything else, here but it would be nice to hear something that isn't just criticism of what we DON'T do and has a more positive ring to it). Last, I really don't know how you expect to establish any sort of dialogue on any topic if you constantly criticize people for things that they are not even aware that they are doing. So, maybe we don't discuss the rights of boys but that's more than likely because the topic never came up, not because we are self-centered. You seem to think that because a topic isn't discussed, it's being ignored. Perhaps in your world, but not in mine. I, as well as many others here, care about the rights of children. Perhaps I don't discuss it because I live it on a daily basis. Did you ever consider that? Maybe if you quit criticizing everyone and actually stopped to ask opinions or discuss the topic, you would find out that not everyone's going to live down to your expectations. We're not here because we want to be. We're here because this is where we live. Boylovers on boylover boards. Christians on Christian boards. The majority of us are here because we have to be who we are and won't accept any less. I wouldn't expect a Christian to give up their beliefs and live my life just because I'm an atheist. And I certainly wouldn't expect a boylover to give up what they believe just because I'm a survivor of a child-rape. What I do expect is the same sort of consideration that a person would give anyone else, just accept me for what I am and I'll do the same. You wanted me to throw down the gauntlet and discuss. Here's your chance. |
