When does an alternative lifestyle cross the line? (NAMBLA)

Our discussion on Tuesday dealt with acceptance of alternative lifestyles that happen within the global cultural pattern—lifestyles which increasingly challenge society's moral tolerance, and are a product of an era of globalization and homogenization of culture.

Here's an example of a lifestyle that crosses many boundaries. NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association) is an overt organization that aims to legitimize and de-stigmatize sexual and affectionate relationships between adult men and young boys (as young as pre-teen.) South Park rightfully parodied this organization and is where I first heard about it (to my disbelief.)

This is unfortunately not a joke. See for yourself: www.nambla.org, and more on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nambla
