Again, if pedophilia is no longer considered by the medical community to be a mental disorder, it will be harder to keep the sickos locked up for long periods of time. Do you think that is a good idea?

I don't care what gets them locked up, personally, as long as its for as long as possible. I wasn't advocating removal of it from the psych book, by the way - just speculating on possible benefit.
If there's one thing that really galls me it's the constant use of the insanity defense for everything from jaywalking to murder. Sometimes people are just BAD, not "ill".
But if a mental tag is what's needed to keep them locked up longer than so be it.
