I have no plans to engage endlessly in this, but perhaps some here have a totally different idea than I do of what "grooming" means. I believe it refers to the specific behavior pattern of sexual predators toward their young prey. It is not practiced by either major political party nor by any mainstream group of citizens.

Some posts and posters seem to be saying that half the country is trying to "flip" children's naturally forming sexual identities. Not only is it not what grooming is (as far as I know), it's also outrageous to push an agenda labeling Democrats and/or Liberals as planning that insanity...not unlike the sickos that believe Democrats are Satan worshipping cannibalistic pedophiles.

Hence my post "grooming is fake news".

People's sexual preferences are pretty much hard wired and predetermined long before they are even in touch with those feelings. Some are aware earlier than others. Though the vast majority are heterosexual, not all are. Those who aren't neither chose nor were coerced to change their innate sexuality...check that, maybe a fraction of a fraction...maybe less.

Do any heterosexuals here secretly believe they were born gay but decided to change that? Preposterous, right?
But not as preposterous is the chance that some may have been born gay and lived in denial due to many unfortunate societal conditions.

I'd bet no one knows any of the former but might know one of the latter.

Vast minorities can and do have their rights easily trampled by the vast majority, and not just those with different sexual orientations. Many categories of minority groups have had to fight for equality...races, religions, physically handicapped, learning disabled, etc. They shouldn't have had to do so. Consider yourselves lucky/blessed if that's never been a factor in your lives. Life is so much more difficult for those born to be out of the norm, out of the majority, but should not be confused with perversion.

I do not believe that simply being made aware of the existence of differences among us is necessarily an enticement to adopt a lifestyle not in synch with one's predetermined path.
Telling tiny portions of the citizenry to shut up and stay hidden is abusive in itself. Probably unconstitutional as well.

All that aside, local municipalities and school systems can and should decide curriculum. And individuals and corporations should be able to state their support or dissension regarding proposals and policies without fear of State retribution.

I say that knowing that a side that I might support would also be wrong to punish dissent. I was taught to not try for everything that I want, because if I did get all I want, I'd be part of the group oppressing half the population. That's a far larger concern than any single issue.

Fear the benevolent dictator.

can't handle original ideas flowing from one's conviction to pen and paper, eh.
Sorry I couldn't just didn't cut and paste others' ideas to look intelligent.

Do you not get that sexual preferences are natural?

But your fear of differences is noted. It's also the seeds of prejudice.

In point of fact there is a definition grooming that is to "prepare or train (someone) for a particular purpose or activity." So, in this instance Ray would be correct in his usage pertaining to the acclimation of young minds to the idea of alternative sexuality and gender.

However, Comrade, don't think that voids all culpability on your part, when you know dam well the term "grooming" will likely conjure a perception relative to child molestation above other definitions, in particular since you continue to use ped and pedo as prefixes and adjectives to terms relating to leftist politics. Such usage is simply propaganda, worthy of any fake news sources you generally decry.

Frank, why do you even try to reason with Ray? He will just throw you a quote from the Mice's institute, or a deep south Republican expecting to win with Trump's base, or Newsmixup, and so it goes. When junior goes da da or ma ma, the thought is more original than Ray's posts.

Comrade Ray, you throw the word grooming around so unelequently and in such a decitefull manner it is embarrassing to even read. I literally have seen zero proof of what you are claiming. Also to think a child can be groomed into their sexuality is as unrealistic as thinking someone can be reprogrammed to change their sexuality.

I could say maybe you should focus on the real issues, unfortunately that isn't how you roll. You are just so myopic, which is unfortunate, though this is how you are hardwired and it would be silly to think you even have a modicum of ability to change.

I will pray for you.

I got no answer from Frank on my inquiry about Joey B's statement. Have you been groomed not to answer Frank?

Spey, I won't even bother with you, I already know you've been groomed.

There we have it...two groomed peas in a pod.

Good point. My intention was along the knowledge/understanding aspect, but acclimation would be an argument used by some. There would even likely be individual educators with that type of agenda. I'm not convinced an entire district would have such goals though

in my best Don Adams voice...would you believe half of the population of the USA?

Or in a zipper.

It ain't grooming.
But it ain't right.

Let kids be kids. Stop with the woke narrative BS.
I remember my first and second grade teachers.
I don't know if they were married, straight, single, ghey, bi, some other alphabet pronoun.
It wasn't important then.
It isn't important now.

Change my mind.

I tell yah SOB, Ray has as much ego as anyone I've ever seen here. Now if he just had something else, no really anything else.

I'm sure Ray has his good points, though I am an eternal optimist and a betting man. So I am sure by the end of eternity I will find something good about him as well as I am sure the odds are approximately 0.

God, would I like to psychoanalyze your kid(s) and his/her/their mother.

This the same they you hear all the indisputable facts from? They should stop slacking. They have all the information. They should do something useful to bring this evil to light. They should take action

So, your they say this is all true, but they have no evidence to bring to the table since their they easily thwarted your they by speaking more loudly than them.

So....... like a KGB plant?

#MeToo only applies to girls who are to be believed without question say the lefties. They also say sexual abuse and sexual harassment of boys by lefties and their supporters is to be sloughed off as far right-wing disinformation.

I was at a nightclub when I was in my 20's. I talked a really fine girl into going home with me. Her girlfriend said me too! Another hottie. Does that count as a #metoo?

That sounds like a tossed word salad. Are you related to Kamala?

Loser.

Ironically I spelled it correctly, except of course for the two thingamajigs above the vowels.

For those mentally disturbed peeps that believe it's OK for so-called highly educated, trained professionals called teachers to groom kids in public skools without their parent's knowledge...
