Yet another religious cult raided

[eppie]

Why is it nonsense to equate the action in New York as an unfair violation of rights, since it is millions of individuals as opposed to YFZ ranch which is maybe around 1000 citizens? If you can treat all 1000 as guilty before proven innocent, then wouldn't you be able to do that for one million or 200 million? You are essentially saying "All those FLDS people are all mindless zombies who have no independent thoughts, no free will, and so we can invalidate their personal rights and lump them all together and treat them as a group".

I am saying that this religious sect is based on a certain treatment of children. It doesn't just happen, it is part of their 'lifestyle'. A lifestyle that is there just for some sick old men at the cost of women and children, in other words, a power base created with as excuse 'religion'. Can you expect all children to be abused? Yes you can because that is how the sect works.
Can you expect a certain new york father to abuse his children? No not any more likely than any other normal person on this planet. Of course it happens, and I can not say that 100% of these children were abused but we are talking about a whole different ballpark of % chance here.
