Worst of Social Justice

@Ironchew, Magus:

Both of you, if you're going to play the semantics game, at least do it right. State what you think the actual differences between "disorder of sexual preference" and "sexual orientation" are, other than that the former sounds worse than the latter. Otherwise you're not having an argument so much as spewing angry noise at each other.

[Ironchew]

And homosexuality was removed from that list because it wasn't a disorder of sexual preference, and pedophilia wasn't because it is a disorder of sexual preference.

Who's the one arguing semantics again?  Spoiler: It's you.

That's a circular argument. There really isn't any biological difference between "sexual orientation" and "disorder of sexual preference"; it's only a sociological difference according to the norms and laws of society.

I already gave you a citation and you started arguing semantics. You don't deserve to have other people doing your own research for you in order to correct your willful ignorance.

It's possible to care about black people, poor people, and people with ALS equally you know.

Quickly, Sigma! Only launch of the Paragon cluster thermonuclear apocalypse bringer missiles of doom can prevent a Semantics Cascade!

[Ultimate Paragon]

I can't help but think that might actually be racism in the other direction, essentially comparing non-whites with animals.

[Second Coming of Madman]

Oh, well. Might as well use the launch codes myself. Through the might of shitty photoshop ripoffs nuklear weapons, I will punish you! Oh, shit- I mean, hi UP! How's the kids? Please don't kill me.

Edit: UP's avatar makes a great color burn.

Simple.  Kids who have been sexually abused are more likely to become pedophiles when they grow up.  There is a traceable cause and effect leading to the fact that this is a disorder, a disruption of what would be normal for that person.  It's worth noting that disorders can set in on their own, including this own.

On the other hand, homosexuality occurs in the same way heterosexuality, the "intended course", is occurred, just in lesser numbers.  Bell curve arguments of "Abnormal" aside, functionally a homosexual person is identical to a heterosexual person, aside from their "mating target."  Homosexuality does have a correlation with artistic capability and being left-handed, though, so it does have an emphasis on one side of the brain, where it could be said that heterosexuality has an emphasis on the other side of the brain, due to the statistically low percentage of left-handed people among straight people.  But it's not a 100% deal.

A better comparison:

Pedophilia is a sexual disorder, like OCD and ADHD are mental disorders.
Homosexuality is a sexual difference, like left-handedness is a brain difference.

Reminder that being left-handed was once considered taboo, too.

And homosexuality was removed from that list because it wasn't a disorder of sexual preference, and pedophilia wasn't because it is a disorder of sexual preference.

Wow.  I literally don't need to say anything.

So we can do nothing?  Argument ended, as far as I'm concerned.

PETA would argue that humanity has few if any unique capabilities, and that we're "all just animals".

Well, I would argue humanity's evolved far enough we don't need to rely upon what nature gave us. We created tanks, fighter planes, bombers, rifles, missile launchers, grenades...et cetera. With these amazing tools, we stand tall above the competition. With a tank, it doesn't matter how ferocious the lion is - its pulp.

We're capable of consuming poisonous foods and liquids for entertainment, we are adaptive in fight or flight situations, we are the most advance tool-using animal species on the planet, we have developed a way to communicate outside of our species, we have formed symbiotic relations with almost every type of animal, and we're the only animal species on the planet that actually gives a damn about nature, relatively speaking.

I'd say we're plenty damn unique and have a lot going for us.  Not to mention we're the only animal that can kill a lion by shoving an arm down its throat, because we're the only animal to think to do so.

PETA can suck my primate dick.
