Nambla

[OrphanPip]

I believe you, like most people, are confusing pedophiles with child molesters. They are not the same. Although some pedophiles do molest children, there are more who live normal, productive lives, never harming anyone. But you never hear about them, do you?

Hey, I support the right for NAMBLA to exist, and a thought is not a crime. Yet, that does not mean all thoughts are acceptable in and of themselves. Where do we draw the line of responsibility, are only actions choices? Pedophilia is unacceptable in that it needs to be addressed with counseling and deliberate prevention of the acts that follow from it. Are murderous intentions acceptable, are paranoid schizophrenics off their meds acceptable?

Pedophiles should not be demonized, at the same time, though, their attractions should not be affirmed.

On the other side of your argument, I think it is entirely irrelevant whether homosexuality is a choice or not. This focus on choice is a ridiculous waste of time, homosexuality doesn't harm people and involves consenting individuals, end of story.
