Answer 1

some of them really look like Marlon Brando.

Answer 2

The North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) is a New York City and San Francisco-based unincorporated organization that opposes the use of age as the sole criterion for deciding whether minors can legally engage in sexual relations. NAMBLA defends what it asserts to be the right of minors to explore their sexuality on a much freer basis. It has resolved to "end the oppression of men and boys who have freely chosen mutually consenting relationships", and calls for "the adoption of laws that both protect children from unwanted sexual experiences and at the same time leave them free to determine the content of their own sexual experiences.NAMBLA's webpage states that 'NAMBLA does not provide encouragement, referrals or assistance for people seeking sexual contacts' and that it does not "engage in any activities that violate the law . . . [or] advocate that anyone else should [violate the law].

There is an annual gathering in New York City and monthly meetings around the country. In the early 1980s, NAMBLA was reported to have had over 300 members, and was supported by such noted figures as Allen Ginsberg.Since then, the organization has kept membership data private, but an undercover FBI investigation in 1995 discovered that there were 1,100 people on the rolls.It is the largest organization in the umbrella group IPCE (formerly "International Pedophile and Child Emancipation").

Since 1995, public criticism and law enforcement infiltration have heavily impaired the organization. Its national headquarters now consists of little more than a private mail box service in San Francisco, and inquiries are rarely responded to. Some reports state that the group no longer has regular national meetings and few local monthly meetings.

~~I think they are sick and need therapy!!!!! i agree for the most part with the "public execution" comment.

Answer 3

I am very aware that the law has to draw a line somewhere, between someone being classed as a child and an adult. However, in nature, a teenage boy or girl has sexual feelings and is able to produce children, so what right do we have to say they can’t have sexual feelings or love for an older man the same way an older man has sexual feelings or love for a younger boy? I am a 14 year old boy, i am also bisexual and a member of Mensa, therefore I am in no means stupid. I certainly know the difference between a man molesting me and a man loving me. I have been molested and raped by a man, which was very wrong on his part and so it is only right that he should be punished, but now i have a boyfriend that is 22 years older than me and no one has ever cared for me as well as he has. We haven't had sex yet, he wants to wait until im 16 (legal age of consent in Britain), though only for legal reasons because i am perfectly happy to shagg him now for i know he loves me and i love him. People say some appalling things about men that fall in love with boys, and never, do they ask the boys what they feel or think. I am human; i have a heart, a mind and a dick the same as a man. So don’t you dare cast your eyes down on me in pity like some innocent child that doesn’t know any better. You talk about this being “morally” wrong, but instead of thinking about the boys that are being saved by all these protection laws and “morals”, think about boys like me who have found a sense of safety, love and warmth in the arms of an older man.

Answer 4

I think that the only good that NAMBLA has done, is make us more aware of the amount of evil perverted men there are, that want to justify their warped sense of thinking. I think that these twisted individuals should be punished as I said in a response to the question of how rapists should be treated, which is, 'put them in a cell with a horny 500 pound Gorilla'.

Answer 5

NAMBLA is a sick organization that assumes that young boys are mature enough to make their own decisions about whether they want to be intimate with or, more appropiately, molested by dirty old men. They back up their claim with pseudopsychological evidence and then turn that into a political message that challenges contemporary societal norms. They are simply trying to legalize molestation, but their obvious lack of support shows it won't happen.

Answer 6

One positive I think, at least, that individuals with these desires should gather to receive support from one another. I assume on the surface the group doesn't advocate sexual interference with minors; perhaps talking about it with their peers will prevent them from acting on their desires. Although, I think that's a pretty small percentage of the population with those feelings I'm not sure whether NAMBLA's existence will be positive or negative either way.

Under no circumstances should someone try to be sexual with an individual that can't even understand or isn't developed enough to feel the same. But I don't think we should "execute" people with these desires, either. We should somehow develop resources to prevent individuals from acting on these impulses or even having them anymore. (Counselling, psychotherapy, chemical treatments?).

I'm not sure what that solution is, but being locked away from the rest of society won't really solve anything. I'd rather see people like that "changed" than just gathered up in one area in large proximities and likely to be released over time.

Answer 7

Nambla is a very small, almost insignificant organization of weird sickos that is only known to Americans because Republicans wrongly accuse the ACLU of supporting them. When in fact the ACLU just intervened as they always did to make sure the constitution and freedom were upheld for everyone, no matter who they are.

Answer 8

Public executions.
