Sorry. Only thing I will say is that people who have followed milo for awhile may not have the same reactions as a typical conservative or typical liberal. He's very much a whore it's just this time he took it too far.Well that was fun.

I respect that and you may be right.I've watched quite a bit of Milo. I'm probably one of the very few "liberals" that actually kinda like(ed) the dude. Milo has said some horrific things, and I rarely held then against him because I didn't believe he means hardly any of it, he just does it to get a reaction and show that words are just words and we shouldn't be as afraid our hurt by then as we are in today's society. I think he does a poor job of delivering the message and dips too deeply into being a political mouthpiece...but still.
That's why I was very disappointed in the video. I think this was one of the few times you saw Milo actually giving his true opinion on something....and it was a pretty disturbing opinion.
you are probably right but that is a cultural issue. If you and I had been born in Ancient Greece we would be banging kids as casually as we drink coffee. If we were born in Shakespeare's time 14 year olds would be the norm. My wife's great uncle was 19 when he married his fourteen year old bride. They have been married 60 years and seem to have a great time together.
Are we evolved into a perfectly civilized culture that has hit the nail on the head with the 18 year old birthday being the benchmark? Given our late blooming adolescents and inability to socialize face to face we should probably raise the age of consent to 21. The human brain on average isn't fully formed until we are 25. There is probably a test we can take that gives our actual maturity to handle adult situations like war or sex or marriage.
I read one of the worst articles in my life a couple weeks ago about a man and a six year old boy. Those kind of people need to just be killed. I also know a man who molested all three of his daughters. Again someone like that should just be killed and forgotten as quickly as possible.
I dont really have an argument just stream of conscience tonight.
"My experiences as a victim led me to believe I could say anything I wanted to on this subject, no matter how outrageous. But I understand that my usual blend of British sarcasm, provocation and gallows humor might have come across as flippancy, a lack of care for other victims or, worse, “advocacy.” I am horrified by that impression.
I would like to restate my disgust at adults who sexually abuse minors. I am horrified by pedophilia and I have devoted large portions of my career as a journalist to exposing child abusers. "
He should have just stopped there.... That's a believable apology.
But no, he had to go on from there and finger point, spin and make excuses. Nothing has changed in his mind, and unfortunately, I doubt much has changed in many of his fan's minds. He's casting himself as a wichunt victim and most of his fans will eat it up after a 2 or 3 day pause.
He is a witch hunt target. Not debatable.
not mutually exclusive to his culpability in his current predicament.
Wrong. The country music audience simply turned on the Dixie Chicks. At the time, I thought it was a damn shame because I like the music of the Dixie Chicks then and I like it now. I will listen to their music any day over that crap on the radio that passes for country music these days. What's funny is Donald Trump probably agreed with the Dixie Chicks at the time, that we should have not interfered in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is a great illustration of how entertainers should really stick to entertaining and not alienate their audience. I wish Natalie had kept her mouth shut and kept on playing they're great music. And, in hindsight, I wish Natalie had gotten her way and we had stayed out of any further involvement militarily in the Middle East. The region would be no worse off and thousands of young men and women in uniform would still be alive.The Dixie Chicks were a witch hunt target after comments about Bush during an overseas concert.
Not debateable.

Even later for some...The human brain on average isn't fully formed until we are 25. There is probably a test we can take that gives our actual maturity to handle adult situations like war or sex or marriage.

Milo's audience will not turn on him the way the Dixie Chicks' audience turned on them. Two different situations.Take your same response and apply it to Milo.
Milo is the victim of a witch hunt.
It's not debatable.
Got it.
Not debatable?
Wow.
Or the time he said the movie "Machete" would cause a race war.Don't forget Alex fretting over Jade Helm.
Again with the wow.
Are we now going to parse the semantics of witch hunt?
Do you not believe there were people waiting to pounce on this low hanging fruit (heh...) for political reasons more than ethical outrage, in order to silence him?
I suppose a master debater can debate anything, but it's self evident that he has political enemies who are only outraged because off his politics.
I've said nothing in defense of Milo on this topic, by the way. It is in fact indefensible, what he said.
Pouncing on the morally indefensible things he said when they also think his political statements are also morally indefensible ain't a witch hunt. What's the alternative? Giving him a pass and not pouncing on the morally indefensible things BECAUSE they disagree with him politically.
Since no one seems to be willing to answer the questions I posed earlier, I will ask again.
Please defend Milo - based on his own claims of attending a Hollywood party where he says "very young boys" were made available for sex - and his inaction in not reporting what he witnessed to police.
IMHO, he's even far worse than McQueary at Penn State. At least McQueary reported what he witnessed to someone he thought had authority to do something about it.
If that alone doesn't set your hair-on-fire to condemn the guy, I don't know what would. I know what the reactions of everyone who posts here was in response to the moral failings of jo paterno and others for not reporting to police, but some of you are still going to stand in support of the guy who actually did worse?
A gay conservative who fights dirty is a huge weapon out of our arsenal. Milo through his own view of self importance was blinded to how important he was to have under the group's umbrella. He let a lot of people down. Most importantly young sexually active gay males who need a responsible voice.
Hopefully he sees this and works to take himself and his mission whatever that is a little more seriously.
IMHO, he's even far worse than McQueary at Penn State. At least McQueary reported what he witnessed to someone he thought had authority to do something about it.
There is no defense in that and his attempt to say it was just bad wording rings false to me.Since no one seems to be willing to answer the questions I posed earlier, I will ask again.

The alternative would be being consistent in expressing outrage over pedophelia or when it's not a political enemy who's said or done something unseemly.
It IS a witch hunt when you dogpile a guy you hate because the appearance of pedophelia endorsement is a handy pitchfork.
And I'm not referring to anyone on this board. Just pointing out the collective hypocrisy. If it makes you feel better - I feel the same way about people excusing him too easily because of his politics.
Neither are debatable. And again - I'm very disappointed in Milo over this. I love his basic anti-pc, f*** your feelings message. But this really caused me to lose respect for him.
Saying "neither is debatable" = you saying you're mind is made up.
Got it.
It is NOT a witch hunt....but duly noted as "not debatable".
So you think it is debatable? Are you saying that there are no political opportunists using Milo's self induced predicament for political capital? And are you also saying there are no Milo fanboys we're making excuses for him? Because I don't think those things are debatable at all.
I personally think you completely agree with me and are hung up on the semantics of a witchhunt
