If you are sexually attracted to children, there is something wrong with you, period, end of story.
Doesn't matter if you've acted on it or not. If you have acted on it, you need a bullet in your brain. |

I hate people who hurt children.
If I ever were to lose it and just rip somebody to pieces with my bare hands, it would probably be a pedophile. |

I kind of agree with their assumption but technically they are not a pedophiles if they have never acted on those desires in anyway. Although that thought process should not be considered normal. View Quote Because I have yet to see one. |

Quoted:
Assaulting those you find annoying is not a disorder. It is, in fact, quite natural. Anyone who has raised children knows this. It is the norms of society that keeps these hobbesian impulses repressed. It is only from your comfort of an unnatural society that you think this behavior abnormal.

Quoted:
You just argued for the opposite of what you think you did lol. You're arguing that you do in fact have a mental disorder because you have the desire to assault someone, and if you try to say it's not a mental disorder then that's normalizing it. Just like pedophiles. It is only from your comfort of an unnatural society that you think this behavior abnormal. |

Oh. when conservatives pointed out, correctly, that after gay marriage the normalization of pedophilia was the next "civil rights" issue, the libertarians on here almost all mocked and said thats nonsense. Gay marriage is an issue between consenting adults. Pedophilia involves sex with children. Children, who by definition, cannot give consent to acts they aren't mature enough to understand. They're not even remotely the same issue. One does not logically follow the other because the one doesn't have anything to do with the other. Unless you assume that homosexual is synonymous with pedophile. Which I don't. Don't think legally, but morally. |

Good question, and hard to pin down isn't it? I think we would ALL agree- conservatives, liberals, and libertarians alike that a pre-pubescent child cannot consent. View Quote There are people right now putting pre-pubescent children on a regimen of life-altering drugs on the theory that they are "transgendered" I don't think we ALL would agree.

Good thing pedophilia isn't mainstream anywhere else in the world. Especially in a huge religious group.
Oh wait, Islam. But sure, never here. |

Every single last homosexual man would do children if he thought he could get away with it. The aim of the homosexual agenda has always been to legalize sex with children. This is another step towards that goal. View Quote |

Yeah, I know... Sounds weird, over-the-top, and completely insane, don't it? Now, go read up on NAMBLA, look at their published strategies, and then still tell me he's nuts. This has actually been written and discussed about in the pedophile "community" as a means to their ends. There is enough actual evidence there that you can't completely dismiss and discredit these types when they come out of the woodwork, and the sad fact is, the gay community has done this to themselves by their near-complete refusal to so much as criticize the loons like NAMBLA. There's going to be a comeuppance for the entire gay and lesbian community, one day, and the relatively sane ones who are not on the fringes are going to be the innocent victims of the real loons pushing the rest of society into dealing with their bullshit in an emphatic way. The pendulum swings, and when you push it so far away from center, it just comes back the other direction harder, faster, and a lot further. You got the "Victorian repression of sexuality" in large part due to the immediately preceding period of "Georgian and Regency licentiousness". Same thing will happen again, only this next time? I think it's going to be ugly as fuck; care to guess what sort of nuttiness those kids who get permissively sexually abused will come up with, to "punish their abusers"? I don't. But, they'll have their revenge, one way or another. View Quote |

Quoted:
It will happen in stages. 1. Next will come the "CP is actually good because it is a release valve, so mere possession of CP should be decriminalized." 2. Then it will be "We need to remove the laws prosecuting people from going overseas for underage sex, because different societies differ on how they treat age of consent, and we shouldn't be imperialist." 4. Then it will be "We need to let the parents decide, because it might be rational for a disadvantaged person to approve of pedo sex if their local culture permits it." And if we haven't hung the bastards from lamp posts by that point, you don't want to know what comes next. View Quote |

Of course it does. Societies exist to imlose rules for the collective safety and security of its citizens. It is its only legitimate purpose.

Good question, and hard to pin down isn't it? I think we would ALL agree- conservatives, liberals, and libertarians alike that a pre-pubescent child cannot consent. With that agreed upon (except for a small crazy minority) the question is what age? Well, I think most would say "better safe than sorry" and you can't vote until you're 18 so let's just go with that, with the exception of like 16+ and a >2 year differential like some states have. Makes sense to me. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

You have groups pushing to allow children to make choices about their bodies (abortion, gender change etc) before 18. Why is it any different that these same, or similar groups wouldn't be pushing to lower the age of consent? (I do find it fucking ironic that the legal smoking age is 18 - 20, and the legal drinking age is 21. But that is a topic for another time) |

And every heterosexual man would do little girls if he could get away with it, right? View Quote Some really do like the same sex as adults. How can I or anyone cast a stone at them when we have our own issues and major faults. Some of the biggest Predators I've ever seen come from the Church. Regardless what adults do in the bedroom is their choice and none of anyone's business what they do. If they're not picking from your pockets then stfu. Government should be out of marriage in the first place. This is coming from someone who believes Christ is the lord and savior. |

It's only a matter of time before everyone accepts it.

The difference with the normalization of homosexuality, and why it won't happen the same way with pedophilia, is that there is demonstrable harm from pedophilia and legitimate concerns why it should not be allowed. The only argument against homosexuality is that God says it's icky. As time goes on people might not let on ancient book dictate how they and others should live their lives, but the physical and mental harm of sexual contact is something that isn't just going to go away.

Saw this coming years ago as homosexuality was gradually accepted, if you approve of homosexuality you have to approve of pedophilia, beasteilety, and other perverted behavior.

At least now I know what you really think of me. You're mistaken, but at least you're being honest in your mistakes. All I can really say is "No, I won't. Here's why." Which is what I've done. You can either believe me when I say that my opinion of pedophilia won't change in 10 years. Or you can disbelieve me, because Barack Obama's opinion about something changed from 2008 to present. You tell me which is more reasonable. Or better yet, tell yourself. I think I've heard enough from a cola "bro" for one week. View Quote Age of consent laws are simply an arbitrary moral judgement. We now have, thanks to 5 SCOTUS judges, a constitutional right to "dignity" It will take a few years, but there will be "settled science" proving that pedophilia isn't harmful to children and there will be a push for a case that the SCOTUS will rule upon. Once you deny the right of the people to set moral standards for their community, you must accept the inevitable decent into immorality. After all, morality is simply the tyranny of theocracy. Whether you agree or not with the theocrats doesn't matter anymore. Just a few activist judges will set the morality for our nation. as a libertarian, you either accept this reality or you reject libertarianism. There is no "little bit pregnant" here. You want to impose your morality on others "for the children" suddenly? Don't be upset because I have exposed the inevitable end state of the libertarian philosophy. its why I rejected libertarianism in my early 20s. |

Are you asking for a cite that children who are molested are damaged from it? And if I provide a cite saying its harmless, then we must agree to let freedom ring, amirite? Or are you going to impose your morality "for the children?" statist. The only thing this has to do with morality is the simple belief that hurting others is wrong. Simple. Child molestation hurts, it's wrong, it should be illegal. The view of libertarians is simple: if you do something that victimizes someone, it should be a crime (child molestation) if there isn't a victim, there isn't a crime (homosexuality). It's not that hard to grasp, however somehow I think you will fail to grasp it anyway and come back with a nonsensical "statist" quip. |

You don't need to make a bunch of assumptions about what I "must accept" based on what you assume I believe. I'll tell you straight out what my moral code is on the subject. Hell, I already did. Sex with children is wrong because it forces children into an act with enormous life consequences they don't have the mental wherewithal to consent to. That's my moral code. But by all means, how much would you like to bet me that I'm going to support pedophilia in 10 years because of some boxed in philosophy you assume I ascribe to that fits neatly within the definitions you've imagined for it? How's $10,000 sound? |

your opinion on the morality or righteousness of a behavior must be subordinate to the unwavering principle of maximum individual freedom.
Or have we finally crossed a line of immorality where the principle of freedom must be subjugated for the sake of the "children"? Why do you hate love? |

So by saying pedophilia is a mental illness, you're saying that pedophilia is becoming normal? Despite the fact that mental illness is abnormal. Wouldn't it NOT being a mental illness make it more normal? I'm not entirely sure I understand the outrage over this distinction. |
