Greg is not a bigot he's a potter... "Men do indeed speak ill of those occupations which are called handicrafts, and they are rightly held of little repute in communities, because they weaken the bodies of those who make their living at them by compelling them to sit and pass their days indoors. Some indeed work all the time by a fire. But when the body becomes effeminate the mind too is debilitated. Besides, these mechanical occupations (banausos) leave a man no leisure to attend to his friends' interests, or the public interest. This class therefore cannot be of much use to his friends or defend his country. Indeed, some states, especially the most warlike, do not allow a citizen to engage in these handicraft occupations." Xenophon en.wikipedia.org

Unlike you: I don't believe that adult males should be allowed have anal sex with young boys and call it a human rights issue when you are called on it. From your own link: "Western societies today usually regard pederasty as a form of child abuse on a par with other forms of paedophilia. Definition Noun 1. Sexual relations between a man and a boy (usually anal intercourse with the boy as a passive partner).[Wordnet] 2. The crime against nature; sodomy.[Websters]. websters-online-dictionary.org
