Who does it hurt, Ken?  It doesn't hurt ME.  What laws?  (Or, to
rephrase that, what ENFORCED laws). Sexual acts between two consenting
adults are not exactly investigated by the police anymore.   

Who sets these accepted values Ken?  You? I sure hope not.  I am
accepted by most people I know.. people I live with, work with, am
friends with, my parents, the rest of my family.  Let's face it, even
with people like you out there, homosexuality is becoming more accepted
around the country.

And in reference to the statement 'is MOTSS a microcosm of society', the
definite answer is NO!  Society in general does not use UNIX, does not
post messages to the UUCP net.  And until they do, we have to realize
that we are dealing with a subgroup of humanity, a very select subgroup,
with probably the same amount of homosexuals as the rest of society, but
not your 'average homosexualty'.

And in reference to pedophelia, it DOES NOT BELONG HERE!  Pedophelia is
not limited to gays AT ALL, why stick it  on us.  Sure, it's a problem
but in the same way murder is a problem around society, it's not a
specifically GAY problem.

Also, I though you were going, Ken.  Why don't you just do what you said
you were going to do, or admit you like being able to make people mad at
you who you will never see.  I really don't care especially, but I worry
about those people who read motss and never post anything, because I
know that the general consensus is that you are a feeb, and really
should be ignored.
