Today marks the beginning of <a href="http://www.bannedbooksweek.org/" target="_blank">Banned Books Week</a> for 2012. Since the time of the first books enemies of freedom have sought to have many banned or destroyed as they attempt to limit and control the spread of ideas and dictate what people can think. A sign of a civilised society is its ability to accept a diversity of thought and belief, even when some find some of the concepts offensive. It's our duty as defenders of freedom of thought to fight the narrow minded bigots who try so hard to impose their values and 'morals' on the rest of society.Voice of Reasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628398135372610398noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155877843350734053.post-46059862691724756502012-05-03T07:47:00.000-07:002012-05-03T07:47:56.635-07:00Another AZU Poster Child<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is Christopher Hunnisett. He is a vigilante. In other words he's a violent coward. He served 9 years for the brutal murder of a priest he claimed abused him although there's no evidence supporting his allegations. It could be suggested that a smart lawyer would use the cliche of a child molesting priest to try and get his client off. We'll never know as Mr Hunnisett clearly doesn't believe in justice. He's since been acquitted of the murder although questions remain.<br />
<br />
He has now admitted murdering an innocent 57 year old man. Demonstrating the strength of his bloodlust, this time he tortured the man before beating his head in with a hammer. Again he's claiming to have murdered the man as he was a 'paedophile'. The police have investigated the victim and yet again found no evidence to support Hunnisett's allegations.<br />
<br />
People like <a href="http://truthinpain.blogspot.com.au/">Violent Leaves</a> support animals like Hunnisett. Many times she has publicly stated her advocacy of the rape and murder of sexual minorities. She also targets these minorities with taunts and encouragement to kill themselves. I stand in opposition to people such as her and Hunnisett. I believe in the rule of law. I believe in innocent until <b>proved</b> guilty. I believe in civilised society. I can only hope that justice is done in this case and Mr Hunnisett is gaoled for a long time.Voice of Reasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628398135372610398noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155877843350734053.post-85020791051367882542011-12-26T22:45:00.000-08:002011-12-26T22:51:23.393-08:00Merry Christmas and Happy New YearThanks to all those who've sent me emails asking what's going on.

I've been extremely busy with work which I guess I should count as fortunate given the tough economic times but it limits my opportunities to post on here.

Their latest display of schadenfreude has been posted in a <a href="http://absolutezerounited.blogspot.com/2011/04/alice-day-outings.html#disqus_thread">series of statements</a> celebrating the lapsing into coma of Mary Duval. Mary is a mother who fought for her son who was convicted of a sex offense and put onto a sex offender register. She fought to have him removed and then fought for sex offender reform in general. This was enough for AZU to mark her for a series of low personal attacks. They ridiculed her for being poor. They ridiculed her for being physically unattractive. They posted pictures of her home and ridiculed that. Now she's close to death and they're circling like vultures ready to pick over the carcass. They really are low life parasites.<div><br /></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" >POSTSCRIPT</span></b>: I've just heard that Mary has now passed away.

He was convicted of the crime, did his time in gaol and has since been released. At this point the former offender would usually try to rebuild his life, receiving counselling and trying to ensure he never does such a despicable thing again.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>In this case things took a different turn. Schneider thought she'd be really smart and start blogging about what a horrible person Rojas is. The problem is she didn't limit her blog posts to the facts; nor did she limit it to attacking Rojas. Instead it is alleged she made up lies about Rojas. Even worse, she became a predator herself and attacked people other than Rojas. Often such cowardly online attacks go ignored but for once the person being lied about has fought back. Rojas has launched a lawsuit against Schneider and now she's worried about going broke. The irony is that if Schneider had not herself become a predator and written lies she'd not have anything to worry about but instead she and her family are now in financial trouble and she's resorted to online panhandling. </div><div><br /></div><div>As a personal comment I'd say that the saddest part of this whole sorry affair is that Schneider has selfishly compounded the scars her daughter will suffer. A truly caring parent in this situation would put her daughter's welfare before anything else. Schneider's not a truly caring parent. Instead she's a vindictive woman whose only concern was exorcising her own rage and guilt regardless of the devastation it was bound to cause to her family. She should be ashamed of herself.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://ourstoryhelp.blogspot.com/">Link to Schneider's blog</a></div>Voice of Reasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628398135372610398noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155877843350734053.post-86421355866049914882011-04-28T06:01:00.000-07:002011-04-30T04:11:33.009-07:00Does Violent Leaves Worship at Westboro Baptist Church?<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><u><br /></u></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJQs_TlgJoyKZOBcX0v3JmU12CVw4inWnGCg-XuotKGE6ncqSLsnXm-cwje45F7PpaXn-X6IY1v64biZip-K_avWzVyX-VuoUwGY1m5i0YABp3B1Yi2TiNSTUZgS6pOQeoZoeUHpZ8Yosx/s1600/bigots4.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 136px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJQs_TlgJoyKZOBcX0v3JmU12CVw4inWnGCg-XuotKGE6ncqSLsnXm-cwje45F7PpaXn-X6IY1v64biZip-K_avWzVyX-VuoUwGY1m5i0YABp3B1Yi2TiNSTUZgS6pOQeoZoeUHpZ8Yosx/s400/bigots4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600629673085995746" /></a><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I see Violent Leaves is living up to her name in her latest post at the bigot hub where she calls for paedosexuals to <a href="http://absolutezerounited.blogspot.com/2011/04/kill-yourselves-pedophiles.html">kill themselves</a>.

Smith - Sex OffenderThis is the story of James W. Smith; a 17 year old youth. James, wanting to collect on a drug debt, forced another 17 year old youth to travel with him to call on the person who owed the debt as that person was a friend of the youth. According to the youth, James and at least one other person threatened him with violence. After the ordeal the youth complained to police and James W. Smith pled guilty to the charge of false imprisonment. A reasonable outcome and nothing strange so far right? Well, just wait for what's to come.<br /><br />The crime was committed in Wisconsin USA. The lawmakers in this state in their infinite wisdom (cough splutter cough) decreed that a 17 year old offender should be considered an adult whereas a 17 year old victim should be considered a child. Yes, you understand correctly... in a single case involving two youths of the same age one is legally an adult and the other legally a child. That is truly strange and mind bogglingly idiotic. But that's not all folks...<br /><br />In the enlightened state of Wisconsin, conviction of the crime of false imprisonment of a minor requires the felon to register as a sex offender. So, this 17 year old adult who was convicted of the false imprisonment of a 17 year old child was required by law to register as a sex offender. Ok, surely it can't get any more farcical than this can it? Oh ye of little faith...<br /><br />James W. Smith appealed against the requirement for him to register as a sex offender on the seemingly reasonable grounds that there was no sexual element to his crime. Of course, the good judges of Wisconsin saw how ludicrous the situation was and upheld his appeal.. right? Not on your nelly. Not only did they reject his appeal, they incarcerated him for a year for failing to register.<br /><br />Some ignorant folk will claim that the only people who end up on sex offender registers are deviants who've committed heinous sex crimes and deserve to be there. Further, they argue that these registers should be available for everyone to access. I'd be interested to hear how they justify their viewpoints in this case. I'm not arguing that James W. Smith isn't a nasty little toe-rag who deserved to be convicted of his crime. Obviously he's a scumbag. But a sex offender???<br /><br />Read more about his case at the following links:<br /><br /><a href="http://thelegalwatchdog.blogspot.com/2010/12/sex-offender-registries-theyre-not-just.html#more">The Legal Watchdog: Sex Offender Registries: They're Not Just For Sex Offenders Anymore</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.wisbar.org/res/sup/2010/2008ap001011.htm">Wisconsin Supreme Court Docket No. 08-1011</a><br /><br />I wonder what sort of lies and distortions the bigots over at AZU will use to twist the Legal Watchdog blog into being some sort of pro-paedophile propaganda site given it's reasonable approach to the issue.Voice of Reasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628398135372610398noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155877843350734053.post-78908795915707151362011-02-19T05:42:00.000-08:002011-02-19T06:59:52.624-08:00Marauding Monsters Molest Missing Maddie</br><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiluj_elbKo_Nta4HgcD_CKPw6L9jNZcqDf5USiAu3gjttBOVcPRYOE1eajh6ttt2KYNKwJCkX5elALbcIZpu43KOpuder9kO8k8aOWq1OCJQdSZPBPksSJDMlry_mAtXBzkU7T21UBhvqy/s1600/999137-madeleine-mccann.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiluj_elbKo_Nta4HgcD_CKPw6L9jNZcqDf5USiAu3gjttBOVcPRYOE1eajh6ttt2KYNKwJCkX5elALbcIZpu43KOpuder9kO8k8aOWq1OCJQdSZPBPksSJDMlry_mAtXBzkU7T21UBhvqy/s400/999137-madeleine-mccann.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575395867604883154" /></a><a href="http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/world/missing-madeleine-mccann-in-us-investigator/story-e6frf7lf-1226008595211">LINK TO NEWS STORY</a><div><br /></div><div>History is full of instances of mass hysteria. Probably the most well know are the witch panics which cost the lives of many innocent men and women. Most recently was when I was a child and the media was full of stories of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_ritual_abuse">satanic ritual child abuse</a>. It seemed that every city had been infiltrated by organised satanic groups which were protected by shadowy figures who held positions of power in the community. These groups engaged in nefarious behaviour involving the ritual sexual abuse of children and even used the services of women who'd bear children for the specific purpose of sacrificing them. Of course it became clear in time that the mountains of testimonial evidence were nothing more than delusional fantasies and false memories implanted by dodgy shrinks.</div><div><br /></div><div>Today there's another mass panic and the reason I've linked to the latest news on Maddie McCann is because it's referenced there. It's the myth of the existence of a vast underworld of organised child snatching rings which take unsuspecting children for the purposes of using them as sex slaves. These reports have all the hallmarks of the satanic ritual child abuse manias of the 80s. They claim that these rings have tentacles that stretch internationally and reach into the upper echelons of society. They claim that these rings are protected by shadowy influential figures. It wasn't long ago that unproven allegations were being made in Belgium that the horrific abduction, abuse and murder of a number of young girls was part of this massive network and that it involved high ranking politicians, judges and police. Of course no evidence supporting these allegations have ever been made public.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now, obviously I'm not saying that no kids are ever abducted by child molesters for the purpose of sexual gratification. Clearly this does happen although it's a known fact that most child sexual abuse is perpetrated by someone known to the child rather than a weirdo in a white van. I'm also not saying that groups of child molesters don't link up to exchange kiddie porn because that's been proven to happen. What I am saying is that this myth of the all pervasive underworld of roaming gangs of child molesters kidnapping children and passing them from one to another has never been shown to have any basis in reality. Clearly the idea of the existence of such a group sells papers and gets people to tune into tabloid TV programmes but hopefully intelligent people will see it for what it is: a media invention. </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; "><i>Angolan-born Italiano said the gang of influential and dangerous perverts had hunted children in the Algarve before smuggling them out of Portugal,The Sun reports.</i></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Nah..

Unbelievably, this is actually the case. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div>Before I go on, it is worth bringing a bit of accuracy to AZU's misinformation. In their post AZU employed one of their favourite logical fallacies: the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man">straw man</a> argument. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkKH0OnSRJ3-TkC2fi70Wqm-GuWKgxt6XwTd34JKoT8kkiO2bcl780QQhXI0vj4VLS4PLTaeMP-n17e5IYN_BWWdFM_bDBZWohSmfwFhhrsP6LbfgmTxB5SmkMosXKMdcu1b4Hnc4kHgYL/s400/azu+pt2.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 39px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541945212514635042" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>No evidence has been produced demonstrating that Amazon.com has any vested interest in child pornography and in the absence of such evidence the thought that a multinational company would have <i>any</i> vested interest in kiddie porn is simply a fanciful conspiracy theory. There is also no evidence that Amazon.com has ever distributed child pornography nor has any desire to distribute it in the future. Rather, the hacks at AZU have fabricated these claims in order to have an easy target to attack as they know an attack on Amazon.com's actual policies is far less effective.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>AZU also stated that Amazon.com "... support Williams". This is not the case. The person referred to is Michael Williams (<a href="http://www.oyez.org/cases/2000-2009/2007/2007_06_694">United States v Williams</a>); a man who was gaoled for sending an undercover LEO a link to kiddie porn and also for actually possessing kiddie porn. He was further charged for stating to the undercover LEO that he was in possession of kiddie porn. It is this charge that was being contested and this law alone which Amazon.com, amongst a number of organisations, was opposed to. Amazon.com was in no way trying to make it legal for a person to possess and/or distribute child pornography and for AZU to insinuate such a thing is outrageous.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div>So, back to the ludicrous law. I thought the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/19/AR2008051900948_pf.html">Washington Post</a> article about the case summed the law up effectively when they wrote</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdC5YV72C14dTE9GmmIEVhAh8sp1F7ywNDqEQsnnfHBYL7gJ1mbXybu7-KnBsBg1eUy3obwJQGp0svoKJO6G8oaT8W84F4erd2s85hK_6CaxArFDiLkhjC9ZgGZGjeFYrd7de8MSEqA1E5/s400/azu+pt3.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 50px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541986465561055442" /></div><div><br /></div><div>So that is the crux of the law that reasonable people are opposed to: someone who has never even seen an image of child pornography can be charged, convicted and end up with a sex offender record for simply saying they have kiddie porn. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now, I know my cultural competitors will throw up the usual red herring of... 'Well, if they're the sort of person who'd say they have kiddie porn they deserve everything they get' but this is clearly an argument based on emotion rather than logic. This law, taken to its logical conclusion, could even result in a person who confesses to possessing child pornography being charged for the confession as well as being charged for the porn itself. No, I'm not silly enough to think this would actually happen but it would appear it is possible under this law.

No doubt if they were on the jury in such a case the poor grandparent would end up with 'sex offender' tattooed across his/her forehead.</div><div><br /></div><div>As a final thought, I find it interesting that one can be gaoled in the USA for falsely claiming to possess kiddie porn yet one can falsely claim to be a sexually available child and it's completely legal.

To his deeply ashamed family he's known by his real name: Clay Calhoun Keys. To others he's known as <a href="http://wikisposure.com/Tsand">Tsand</a>. To still more he's known by his blog name <a href="http://roarfortruth.blogspot.com/">Roar4Truth</a>. Little Robbie Taylor describes him as a "...<a href="http://www.red-alerts.com/filthy-degenerates/angry-child-raping-career-criminal-makes-death-threat-against-me/">child raping career criminal</a>...". His former friend Derek Logue, a man who knows him better than most, describes him as a "<a href="http://absolutezerounites.blogspot.com/2010/10/is-t-sand-monster-in-word-yes.html">monster</a>". The Florida Department of Law Enforcement know him simply as <a href="http://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/flyer.do?personId=15525"># 890949</a>. <div><br /></div><div>Clay Keys is a criminal whose nefarious career spans decades. Any criminal activity is serious and should be dealt with as such but it's his sexual offending against children that is of special concern. In addition to his child molestation, Clay has also been charged over the years with stalking, assault, theft and threats of violence amongst others.</div><div><br /></div><div>Clay Keys is a master chameleon which is best demonstrated by his relationship with the well known bigot hub at <a href="http://absolutezerounited.blogspot.com/">AbsoluteZeroUnited</a> (AZU). Originally he was at odds with them and they regularly abused him through their posts and comments. They recognised him as a dangerous, unrepentant predator who targets the vulnerable in our communities and he did all possible to bait them and reinforce their impression. He then had a falling out with his mate Derek Logue and flipped his stance entirely. Suddenly it served his purposes to use AZU as a mouthpiece to attack Mr Logue so he began saying things they like to hear. It was astonishing how quickly they embraced him into their community to the point where he is now the most regular commentator on their blog and an integral part of their setup. </div><div><br /></div><div>Clay Keys is a hypocrite. He recently posted a lengthy diatribe about Facebook and how they'd become a '<a href="http://roarfortruth.blogspot.com/2010/08/facebook-sex-predator-haven.html">haven for sex predators</a>'. The main thrust of his post was to whine that the website of his former chum Derek Logue is linked to from Facebook. Yet, when I challenged him about why he had his own Facebook profile he didn't have the courage to post my comment. </div><div><br /></div><div>Clay Keys is a coward. He openly confesses that he's not a paedosexual and, in fact, encourages bigotry against those who are. This makes it obvious he didn't molest his victims out of any particular sexual desire but solely because they were weak and unable to fight back. Being sexually oriented towards children is no excuse for molestation which is always reprehensible but to target them because of their vulnerability as he did is the lowest type of child molester there is.</div><div><br /></div><div>So who is the real Clay Keys? All evidence suggests he's an emotionally stunted, socially alienated misfit who poses a clear and present danger to his community. He's a convicted child molester who targeted his victims for their vulnerability. He uses people and groups to further his own petty vendettas. It's not often I agree with Little Robbie Taylor and his paranoid delusions of hidden communist agendas but I have to admit he was right on the money when he described Keys as "...a bad person who takes pleasure in the pain and misery he causes others."</div><div><br /></div><div>In a word, he is scum.</div>Voice of Reasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628398135372610398noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155877843350734053.post-30763233633418042482010-10-27T04:51:00.000-07:002010-10-27T05:40:53.106-07:00It's Time To Stop Bigotry Everywhere<br><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/culture/files/2010/10/uganda.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 460px; height: 288px;" src="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/culture/files/2010/10/uganda.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />As reported in <a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tomchivers/100048172/ugandan-newspaper-calls-for-hanging-of-homosexuals/">The Telegraph</a>, a disgraceful witch hunt is underway in Uganda targeting homosexuals. A local tabloid newspaper has published the names and addresses of 100 homosexual people and issued calls for their hangings. Any targeting of people of a minor sexual orientation by bigots makes my blood boil. Fortunately homosexuals are largely protected in western society now but we still have a long way to go as the bigots who'd have previously victimised them have simply moved on to others with unprotected sexual orientations. Rather than publish the names and locations of homosexuals, western bigots now demand the names and locations of paedophiles be listed publicly. Rather than make explicit calls for violence to be perpetrated on homosexuals, western bigots make implicit calls for violence to be perpetrated on paedophiles. Whilst many in western countries may sit back in smug condemnation of Uganda and their reprehensible overt bigotry, we're really not that different. Until all citizens of all countries are free from bigotry and discrimination based on their sexual orientation none are in a position to consider themselves in any way morally superior.Voice of Reasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628398135372610398noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155877843350734053.post-91811384497136165032010-08-11T02:51:00.000-07:002010-08-11T04:02:02.979-07:00Ahhh..

Or will you actually pull out the name of some poor sap this time and claim that he and I are one and the same? I'm looking forward to seeing the 'evidence' you cook up this time.

I suggest you go back and look because it'll be quite helpful for you but as a quick guide:</div><div><ul><li>Make sure the person you name is male and identifies as an Australian </li><li>It's also a good idea to make up some IP addresses to add authenticity - even better is to make sure you're familiar with Australia's bigger ISPs and make the IP from one of those. </li><li>Now, I know you guys are pretty good with Photoshop (yes, I can give out compliments when they're warranted) so if you want to make it really authentic you should photoshop the IP you've made up into some actual IP tracker reports. </li></ul>None of this will make your information any more accurate but it will at least make it more believable this time and we both know you're not as concerned with accuracy as you are with having people swallow the tales you tell. I just don't know if it's good or bad news that the poor bloke you target is unlikely to ever even know you've publicly named him given how comparatively few people read your blog. </div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, as you've probably noticed from my lack of activity of late, you have come to bore me somewhat so I'm off now.

Did they finally attack the wrong person and get their comeuppance? <div><br /></div><div>I have no idea what's become of this ragtag bunch of halfwits and nincompoops and certainly wish them no harm, but in the interests of limiting mindless bigotry and prejudice on the internet I hope they don't return. Unfortunately like many other types of parasite I expect I'm probably hoping in vain and they'll be back just as virulent as before.<br /></div>Voice of Reasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628398135372610398noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155877843350734053.post-80994406334259636232010-05-22T21:18:00.000-07:002010-05-22T21:38:18.157-07:00Clay Keys' True Character Shines Through<br/><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL0yFp_qjNSDi0mHt8RUfkNlg9tKZzC9qrNwpp3J_Ef20MgCopM9wgC6VK60xRpl6jB9jqHlyWqKWawvBXsWhkggdZzfHX0X0W9wa-UL-zckwh4hwztL7pOF2ClYKfsnovja4-ZGS4vAGn/s1600/clay.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 92px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL0yFp_qjNSDi0mHt8RUfkNlg9tKZzC9qrNwpp3J_Ef20MgCopM9wgC6VK60xRpl6jB9jqHlyWqKWawvBXsWhkggdZzfHX0X0W9wa-UL-zckwh4hwztL7pOF2ClYKfsnovja4-ZGS4vAGn/s400/clay.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474315722575838050" /></a><br /><div>Oh dear. I always knew <a href="http://wikisposure.com/Tsand">Clay Keys</a> was a snake-in-the-grass but this is a new low even for him. For some time now he's been posting comments on the AZU blog under Derek Logue's name. I'm not sure exactly what he's trying to achieve by doing so as he's not fooling anyone but his pathetic behaviour was amusing and continues to make him look like a fool. However, it's one thing to imitate a grown man who is more than capable of defending himself and a completely different thing entirely to imitate and exploit an abused child in order to score cheap points in his ongoing vendetta. I'm still waiting to see his good friends Marina Hammond, Julia Kanago and Little Robbie Taylor chastise him for his despicable behaviour. Knowing their history of appalling double standards I've a feeling I'll be waiting for a long time.</div>Voice of Reasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628398135372610398noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155877843350734053.post-26847399736245400122010-05-15T19:37:00.000-07:002010-09-22T06:59:55.380-07:00Of Crime And Reason<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEomlBcAYvfzB2fsfEsp53YchrPMcrdXyYxfllAM7YZP_kxzYVBD9F6W4wlLdIztpCP4_yoyCN7yNukyhslAPHhddMzCPygu9g5-yFhWbmXSryYef8wQOmjCCo-9J_u9tW3S_kTITYH521/s1600/examinerphoto.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 183px; height: 183px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEomlBcAYvfzB2fsfEsp53YchrPMcrdXyYxfllAM7YZP_kxzYVBD9F6W4wlLdIztpCP4_yoyCN7yNukyhslAPHhddMzCPygu9g5-yFhWbmXSryYef8wQOmjCCo-9J_u9tW3S_kTITYH521/s320/examinerphoto.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471695272417974834" /></a>This is <a href="http://pjdeneen.weebly.com/index.html">Trish Deneen</a>. She claims to be a victim of child sexual abuse. If this is true, she has my sympathy. I've been strident on this blog in my opposition to children being subject to any type of abuse and Trish is no exception. She is also a member of Dopey-Fae's PACA group and recently linked to a proposal for the statute of limitations in Michigan to be extended for victims of childhood sexual abuse to 30 years. This is something I have absolutely no problem with. If someone has committed such a heinous crime against a child they should be held to account, regardless of how much time has lapsed. Obviously the reality that they are quite likely to be a very different person to what they were 30 years prior is a valid point but there should still be accountability for past crimes. Yes, I completely agree with Trish to this point; it's what she goes on to say that I am in total disagreement with:<div><br /></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifJ8F2XLfvZrL5iHNVCSnERS_E6hdpfEcVLC0dtouAns3b4vRjg0XZg1nS6UDxRAZfOGaKmmf2SkU9PRX_AwboN1xOMxuuXx96TJj4y2dgT4I9-CGi8Tg5Kp9fTDH1J7aqPHGL7HRwhFM2/s1600/paca.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 199px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifJ8F2XLfvZrL5iHNVCSnERS_E6hdpfEcVLC0dtouAns3b4vRjg0XZg1nS6UDxRAZfOGaKmmf2SkU9PRX_AwboN1xOMxuuXx96TJj4y2dgT4I9-CGi8Tg5Kp9fTDH1J7aqPHGL7HRwhFM2/s400/paca.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471699465002149570" /></a><br /></div><div>So, just for emphasis, what she wants is for anyone to be able to label a person a child molester without a shred of proof and to still be safe from any sort of defamation lawsuit. That is beyond ludicrous; it is simply wrong. I appreciate she may be coming from a perspective where she was abused but can't prove it and so feels constrained by current laws. That is sad but her assertion that "...abusers have more protection from the law than survivors..." is not reality. There is protection for everyone under the law which provides the right to face one's accusers in court. If you want to publicly accuse someone of a heinous crime that will adversely affect the rest of his/her life, it is only reasonable to expect you to be able to back up your claim with evidence. I would ask Trish if she would think it fair for someone to state publicly that she molested him/her as a child without any evidence and for her to have no legal avenue to defend herself and her reputation? Hopefully Trish is an intelligent enough person to think through the consequences of her proposal and realise how unjust and open to abuse it is. These laws are in place for a very good reason and it would be a huge step backwards to remove the protections they afford everyone.<br /><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="http://pagansagainstchildabuse.spruz.com/blog.htm?a=&nid=A0C5728F-F157-4F1A-980E-19F2440C58D1">Link to the PACA post</a></b></div></div>Voice of Reasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628398135372610398noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155877843350734053.post-47593789500561018352010-04-06T04:47:00.000-07:002010-04-06T05:04:54.094-07:00Update on Dopey's PetitionWell, dear reader, I've been a bit quiet of late but thought I'd post a quick update on a story I posted two months ago. Dopey-Fae wanted 10,000 people to sign her petition against the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). Two months ago it had been signed by '54' people. I put the number in inverted comments as I showed at the time that the numbers had been falsified. <div><br /></div><div>So how has the petition fared over the past two months? Has it received a flood of signatures from the scores of people outraged at our vulnerable, impressionable youth being exposed to the recollections of homosexuals about their own childhood and adolescence? Well, not exactly. It's actually received one more signature to bring the total to 55... but of course that total still includes four 'missing' signatures so the actual total number of signatures received since December 2009 is a rather underwhelming 51.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://voiceofreason1980.blogspot.com/2010/02/dopey-strikes-out-again.html">Original story..</a></div><div><br /></div><div>ROFL!!! </div>Voice of Reasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628398135372610398noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155877843350734053.post-21005582259023207692010-03-01T02:39:00.000-08:002010-03-01T04:24:59.324-08:00Ridiculous Robbie<img src="file:///C:/Users/dave/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /><a href="http://www.red-alerts.com/unspeakable-cults/dan-savage-megan-mcardle-and-the-myth-of-the-pedophile-orientation/">FURTHER RIDICULOUS ROBBIE-ISMS</a><br /><br />In the blog post linked to above, Robbie launches into an attack on those who speak of the sexual orientation of paedophiles. You see, it doesn't suit Robbie's propaganda for it to be recognised that people are born with this orientation. He would rather try and indoctrinate people with the ignorant belief that paedophiles actually choose the orientation that makes them the most reviled minority group in western society.<br /><br />So let's look at what Robbie considers evidence supporting his position:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp1gLdDDbB0HvmhmBN85k-LdCXhNYAscEY1vlM64vsvjb3vnlctyw_X57hd9KAXvd118d9aY4_1Y7GgnC2TNuJx3vVeeSHoNXrRfPQP9QcADbsaqVYZZsGkraUhWCr31qtXclAErVrWv_n/s1600-h/lil+robbie+taylor+liar2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 103px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp1gLdDDbB0HvmhmBN85k-LdCXhNYAscEY1vlM64vsvjb3vnlctyw_X57hd9KAXvd118d9aY4_1Y7GgnC2TNuJx3vVeeSHoNXrRfPQP9QcADbsaqVYZZsGkraUhWCr31qtXclAErVrWv_n/s400/lil+robbie+taylor+liar2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443623431276755234" border="0" /></a><br />Do I even need to point out that a person sexually attracted to someone with the same physical characteristics as an adult woman isn't a paedophile? Obviously when it comes to Robbie, the answer is a resounding 'YES'. A paedosexual is someone sexually attracted to <span style="font-weight: bold;">prepubescent</span> children Robbie. Therefore, by definition, someone attracted to a pubescent or adolescent person cannot be a paedophile. Of course, he also regurgitates the old myth of people entering sexual relationships with teens due to their own immaturity or inability to find adult sexual partners. Given that most instances of adults convicted of sexual relationships with early teens I've read about in the press involves people who were already in relationships with adults, the anecdotal evidence shows the 'sexual relationship myth' to be untrue. As for their level of maturity, I've not seen any study that either supports or refutes the assertion that they were more immature than 'regular' adults. So there's his first 'argument' shot down in flames.<br /><br />He then moves to an even more asinine 'argument'. In an attempt to 'prove' that the paedophilic orientation doesn't exist, he cites a number of abhorent sexual crimes against children and tries to equate the action of rape with the orientation of the rapist. Again he's an epic fail. Firstly, he's provided no evidence that the child rapists were actually paedophiles. We all know that many instances of molestation are perpetrated by situational child abusers; that is, people who take advantage of being in a position where they can molest a child. These people don't necessarily have a paedophilic orientation: some do and some don't. The obvious analogy is that of male rapes in prison (the ones that Julia Kanago aka Violent Leaves gets off on). Do we assume that every inmate who rapes another is a homosexual? Of course not. We know that some are but many aren't and are just abusing the situation they're in. And, of those who are actually homosexual, is it their orientation to blame for their actions? Of course not. There's something about them as individuals allowing them to do such awful things. It's the same for paedosexuals. Some rape children but most don't. Of those who do rape children, it's not their orientation that's to blame for their actions but some flaw in their character.<br /><br />So does Robbie really believe that the crimes he cites prove anything other than the fact that there's a flaw in the character of the criminals? No, he knows the truth but his redneck bigotry requires him to continue perpetuating his propaganda and telling his lies... and his deliberate dishonesty exposes the flaws in his own character.Voice of Reasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628398135372610398noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155877843350734053.post-92217222285603579162010-03-01T01:54:00.000-08:002010-03-01T02:38:57.688-08:00Taylor Sinks To New Low<br/><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmW-sDuoojNLtXrInH7wM37eNIXJ8OCD2P_m4O_D4tCZIhOgIon3_erxAJJaesjVTBd9GiJBWGkhAaGzRuX6i7fEqfItTwBKseaAVGFL7X8QgT6znJo-F1wqtY7NQL6m_0bXIP3Bb1er8j/s1600-h/Untitled.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 156px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmW-sDuoojNLtXrInH7wM37eNIXJ8OCD2P_m4O_D4tCZIhOgIon3_erxAJJaesjVTBd9GiJBWGkhAaGzRuX6i7fEqfItTwBKseaAVGFL7X8QgT6znJo-F1wqtY7NQL6m_0bXIP3Bb1er8j/s400/Untitled.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443602282949738146" border="0" /></a><br />Just when one thought Little Robbie Taylor had sunk as low as possible, he's reached the bottom and kept digging. I shouldn't be surprised at Robbie taking cheap shots but this one had me stunned. But surely Robbie wouldn't make such an outrageous statement without solid evidence of widespread, entrenched child rape by UN officials would he? He wouldn't let his bitter right-wing 'hate everyone and everything decent' prejudices influence his objectivity would he? Like hell!! I followed the link he attached which took me to a news article dated <span style="font-weight: bold;">over 3 years ago</span> which contained nothing more than <span style="font-weight: bold;">unproved allegations</span>. That's right, he didn't even bother finding an article detailing an investigation of the claims that found them to be accurate. Instead he points to one ancient article based on nothing but rumour and hearsay and pretends it carries weight. *Sigh*Voice of Reasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628398135372610398noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155877843350734053.post-9190083853365180752010-02-23T01:21:00.000-08:002010-02-23T01:52:22.784-08:00RIP Trinity Bates<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht6iNqWgu45_vZhr9NOVu8_f4-E7VEMfjZMibO7IIcvf_cwoXKpH6yxrln5V7P5sDvyqn2xsswKxn5u5al_vpXOmagZp4dDqofYrLEYtsz23Sw2ouGcnnNWYmpkFzJQy0dq-op32GCEVEW/s1600-h/511667-trinity-leigh-bates.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht6iNqWgu45_vZhr9NOVu8_f4-E7VEMfjZMibO7IIcvf_cwoXKpH6yxrln5V7P5sDvyqn2xsswKxn5u5al_vpXOmagZp4dDqofYrLEYtsz23Sw2ouGcnnNWYmpkFzJQy0dq-op32GCEVEW/s400/511667-trinity-leigh-bates.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441367733423869186" border="0" /></a>I can't begin to understand what would make someone abduct and murder anyone.. let alone a beautiful child.
