WTF?!

Admittedly, nobody goes to fstdt to see reasonable opinions and rational commentary but this took even me by surprise! The poster is referring to the British Prime Minister's recent posthumous apology to Alan Turing:

"Rightly or wrongly, the man was guilty of transgressing the law of the land at that time. Whether or not he was a giant in his field is totally immaterial. Had he been a paedophile, I wonder how many people would be looking for an apology?"

Let's ignore the insinuation of the supposed (ie: non-existant) link between homosexuality and paedophelia. Let's ignore the fact that the 'law of the land at that time' was biased and suffused with religious dogma. Let's ignore the fact that chemical castration of homosexuals was an unspeakable practice. THE MAN BROKE THE FUCKING ENIGMA CODE, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?!

Fundies really do say the darndest things...
