NAMBLA


havnt seen this film nor do i want to but was just curious as to who is rating this film as its up on the Nambla website. who support it. any comments?

reply

oh my God, I can't believe such a site exists! I thought it was a joke made by South Park! Anyways, i guess it's on the site because it's the story of a young boy who wants to be accepted as a homosexual and transsexual. I guess a lot of NAMBLA men think he's really sweet and he needs someone like them to teach him how to love a man... yuck
But this film hasn't got any paedophile content whatsoever. It's really good, you should see it!

NAMBLA isn't real. But the website is because people love to use it as "evidence" of how evil gays are...

please don't mix up gays and pedophiles...

reply

oh, I'm not. But the whole purpose of NAMBLA is a fake organization intended to do such mixing up. It's a really awful ploy by anti-gays...

that's nasty all right. Well at least i'm glad to know the association doesn't exist.

It existed at one point, but not so much any more... From the wikipedia article: More recently, media reports have suggested that for practical purposes the group no longer exists and that it consists only of a web site maintained by a few enthusiasts. NAMBLA maintains a web site that shows addresses in New York and San Francisco and a phone contact in New York, and offers publications for sale, including the NAMBLA Bulletin.

Yeah, it's not totally fake, but it's hardly a real organization anymore.

i heard of it in south park too and i remember reading something about it years ago (when i was a kid), i googled it and apparently it is true, whatever about the "official" web site there is loads of stuff in wikipedia about it. each and every single active member of that organisation should be tortured. what right do they have? they are using power of age and "wisdom" to exploit children. if the ku klux klan was stopped then this most certainly should be.

Men (and women) who are attracted to children will never be "stopped". Without exception they were victims of sexual abuse when they were children. So before you start tossing stones and ranting about how we should wipe them off the face of the Earth, maybe you should get to know a little bit more about the dysfunction.

Yes, what they want to do is abhorrent, it is disgusting, and it is horrid. I have two elementary-age children and the thought of them being assaulted by one of these *beep* is my worst nightmare. The way the KKK was eradicated was EDUCATION and indoctrination. The way we deal with these people is by educating parents and caregivers of the warning signs, and more vigilant care to make sure children don't fall into their hands.

Stopping these people is simple, stop child sexual abuse. Yea, not so simple. One thing is for sure, the people who are bent this way, don't *want* to be bent this way. They anguish over it, and quite a few choose either chemical or actual castration. Knowing that the offenders were once small children being sexually abused themselves puts a whole different slant on things. I'm not saying that I sympathize with them, but I do have empathy for what they suffered through, and for what they are going through now. It does — in NO way - justifies what they do, but what we need to understand is that we need understand that these people are obsessed, compelled to do what they do. We need to massively step up our efforts to track them FOREVER after a conviction. Stigmatizing them forever might not be as helpful as we think, because it keeps them from registering. The estimates are that less than 5% are actively registering. It is very, very expensive to track them all the time.

The best way to deal with this is to be very, very vigilant as a parent. I never let my children play in the front yard without me being there. And when they are in the backyard I watch them out the window. We have spent a good deal of time discussing this issue, as appropriately and non-disturbingly as possible. I don't let them go over to people's houses unless I know the people very well, and I simply don't let them go over to houses where there are uncles or friends visiting. There is no way to be absolutely sure that nothing happens, but when you look at the incidents, many of the children that are abused are in unsafe situations, left unattended, and so forth. When we as a people decide that this is an issue of tantamount importance, and spend the money to monitor these people (instead of putting it on the police agencies as it is done now) THEN we'll start to decrease the numbers of children abused. The best way though to stop this stuff is EDUCATION, for the parents and the children.

First of all, the KKK is still alive, unfortunately. Secondly, not all pedophiles were abused as children, and not all children who were abuse grow up into adults whose fondest wish is to molest children. It's an offense to those who were molested as children and are not molesters themselves to suggest otherwise. Thirdly, not all pedophiles are filled with anguish about their predilections. If you believe otherwise, go to some of their chat sites. They revel in it, much as a man will revel in looking at pretty girls, and they want to make it legal. Hey, go to urbandictionary.com and look up "pedophile." Notice how many of the user-supplied definitions want it to be considered as normal and natural as homosexuality.

I do agree that the parent needs to be extra vigilant at all times, but there are molesters in this world who come in under the parents' radar. For instance, a favorite uncle. A teacher. A sibling. It can and does happen, and it isn't something that any parent expects. Regardless, stop laying blame at the feet of the victim's parents. The criminal is and always will be the person who molests, case closed.

The best way to help stop molestation is to, first of all, crack down harder on offenders. Devise a punishment that would really make them think twice, instead of the slap on the wrist that they get. Also, get serious about the sex offender registry. There was a case recently of a little boy who was raped and killed by a known sex offender because the police, who knew he was living within 500 feet of a PLAYGROUND, did nothing. Next, make a serious long-term effort to track down child pornographers and prosecute them to the fullest. Finally, encourage others to actually report people who show pedophile tendencies. If you find child porn on your husband's computer, turn him in. If you know your son likes to expose himself to young children (Westley Alan Dodd's parents knew, did nothing, and now 3 little boys are dead), turn him in.

Actually NAMBLA does exist, and it‘s populated by the lowest scum imaginable.

This was a wonderful film and, as a parent myself, I found myself loathing his rather quickly.

reply

*sighs* Sadly hon, NAMBLA is frighteningly depressingly real. I wish to god they weren't, but they are.

First off, Ludo is straight not gay. Second get your pronoun usage right.

reply

Are you talking to me? What pronoun did I get wrong? Ludo might be gay, we don't know! All we know is he likes to play pretend wedding with the other boy.... sounds gay to me.

t'ain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones

reply

But Ludo is trans. So liking boys makes "him" straight because "he" is a girl.

reply

Wow, Lounakine are you kidding me? Ludo is a transgendered FEMALE. SHE is not gay, SHE is straight. The film makes it pretty damn obvious that it's about transsexualism.

reply

You're right, it's totally obvious! I actually don't remember writing this particular sentence, someone had wrongly replied to me when I didn't mention him being gay in the first place. Confusion! ha!
Anyway, yeah, transsexual. But she still could turn out to be a lesbian :)

this doesnt sound right at all. Why would the north american marlon brando look alike's have any kind of involvement in these sorta pedophiliac things?

mentioned in southpark and wanted to see if it was actually true. what are you suggesting lol. Some messed up people out there

reply

I never ever hear "NAMBLA" mentioned by gay people or decent people.

It always seems to be a preoccupation of the homophobe filth.

Bon question.

the film isn't about being gay, it's about being transgender.
and i can't believe NAMBLA would defile it by recommending it. it has no paedophilic content.

reply

What does the North American Marlon Brando Look-Alike Association have to do with this move?
