What you wrote is very simple to clearly understand. It is bigoted. It also is your responsibility to clarify. You have been corrected on so many levels with your position it is baffling you can't reflect on it.

As I said, your reading comprehension skills suck and it is not my responsibility to clarify to an individual who's best tactic is to repeat over and over "what is wrong with you".

The article and even its correction admit in Greece, it was listed as a disability. When asked why that concerns me, I said it could lead to a protected class.

That has been my position from the very front of this exchange. Your inability to follow along with that easy to understand premise leads me to believe either you really are that dim or your playing games.

Both are annoying.

According to the Greek Labor Ministry, it was added as a classification, "for purposes of medical assessment."

Do you have strong philosophical oposition to the Greek Government having a well-defined way to clasify pedaphiles as such?

My best guess as to what happened is that a handful of unemployeed Greeks claimed that their pedaphilia urges were so strong they were incapable of working. A government agency decided it needed a way to document this in their database.

JSkains,

Don't be coy, that is exactly how I have understood and represented you. But the article doesn't provide any evidence of that, it has nothing to do with protected classes. So it is you that needs to support what you said, what evidence is there that pedophilia could ever be considered a protected class. To say such a thing is absurd, unsupported by any evidence, and totally adverse to anything that is argued regarding homosexuality.

You would have to show where that happens with any regularity, because I've never seen it. Not even once have i seen "racism" as a response to a policy disagreement.

It has definitely been said in response to signs of him as a witch doctor with a bone through his nose, as a monkey, and bumper stickers like "Don't Re-Nig."

Dunno. Maybe those are policy disagreements in disguise.

It doesn't make much intelligence to know that a single spelling error does not constitute illiteracy.

Especially when you can't even spell criticize.

Please. I can go through links and links of it. Even Morgan Freeman declared that the only reason the Tea Party was against Obama is because he is black.

And when that other senator screamed "you lie" to Obama when he made a claim during a congressional speech, the immediate reaction was that it was a racist response.

It really takes a head in the sand moment to not know the race card has been heavily used. Even democratic commentators have admitted it has gone a bit far.

I'm not going to take 4 years of action and post dozens of easy to find examples. Go Google it.
