I believe it’s been done. Paedophilia will be a hard sell until the left’s enchantment by NAMBLA becomes serious. NAMBLA doesn’t have enough money yet. Perhaps Epstein will help.

I was in love once with a woman who was sexually abused as a child. She didn't go out and sexually abuse kids. What she did do was go to school and got a degree in sociology and became a counselor specializing in treating victims of child sexual abuse.

Not everyone who is abused becomes a pedophile - I didn’t mean that.

But many pedophiles were themselves, abused as children. And men are much more likely to become pedophiles than women.

God bless your friend for being able to take such a bad experience and make something positive come out of it. And to help others do the same!

Absolutely not. Children do not have the capacity to make informed decisions and therefor cannot consent with an adult. Homosexual relations between adults is different and socieites softening stance on homosexuality should not be an excuse to soften taboos on pedophilia.

in pondering your condition, i was wondering if you were afflicted by a “Y” chromosome?

There is a HUGE difference between ‘tolerance’ and ‘permissiveness’. The left has kidnapped and changed the meaning of ‘tolerance’, just like they abducted and changed the word ‘gay’ from something nice to something unnatural. ‘Tolerance’ means ‘putting up with’ something that is irritating or wrong, while ‘permissiveness’ means allowing ‘anything goes’, but the left has changed the meaning, once again.

Children do not have the capacity to make informed decisions and therefore cannot consent with an adult.

But can they consent with other children? That's the window that has opened for adults: our society accepts - promotes - fornication among ever-younger adolescents.

This means we posit that they can "make informed decisions and consent" - otherwise, we'd be obliged to attempt to stop them by various reasonable means. The camel then has his nose in the tent. If you accept 14-with-14, then objecting to 45-with-14 is just a matter of taste.

They’re laying the groundwork for pedophilia to eventually be legalized and enforced approval of it.

The United States of Thailand. Next we can justify it economically, what with all the wealthy EuroTrash Pedos coming here to leave their money in exchange for buggering little children.

When my daughter was 17 she backpacked through SE Asia. She commented on seeing middle aged European men walking around with minor Thai children. I thought at the time, there go any illusions you might have about the world.

If there is no such thing as "right" or "wrong" - but only biological determinism - then the Bible is not the Word of God and God does not exist. Both are lies.

It also means that Hitler and Stalin were as moral as any other man who has ever existed - including Jesus - because "morality" does not exist.

Do we really believe in a world like that? Would we want to live in a world like that?

Communists would. Atheists would. Are there any other takers?

Is queer bashing okay if You’re “Born That Way”?

Is bank robbing okay if You’re “Born That Way”?

Is bestiality okay if You’re “Born That Way”?

Is racism okay if You’re “Born That Way”?

After decades of justifying things “for the children”, it would be the height of hypocrisy. But that has never slowed ‘em down much before.

Why do you suppose the left is so concerned with saving the children? Saving them for what? NAMBLA? NAMBLA has had demonstrations for lowering the age of consent and gone to court for it, so far unsuccessfully, but the only outrage expressed has been from the Christians/conservatives. The liberals just mumble or change the subject. To Liberals paedophiles are another oppressed minority who can’t help the way they were born. They are still a tad uncomfortable with it all but they are slowly coming to the logic of their principle of Tolerance for Wierdos. Once upon a time when premarital sex was still generally frowned upon by the sane people of the country many liberal parents spoke out for guided sex- and letting their daughters bring their boyfriends home to “sleep” together in the safety of their own bedrooms.

I was ‘born that way.’ Specifically, I was born autistic. Or with Aspergers Syndrome, or whatever they’re calling it these days. Whatever the case, it’s a mental disorder that alienates me from society.

And guess what. Society isn’t bending over backwards to make me feel normal. In fact, society is all but forcing medication, therapy, and job training on me to make me not be an Aspie.

It seems that the ‘born that way’ argument is permitted only when it involves genitalia.

Exactly. Just like anyone disagreeing with Obama about any topic is now defined as “racist.”

Is stealing OK if you’re born a kleptomaniac?

Is torturing OK if you’re born a sadist?

Is racism OK if you’re born a racist?

The idea that if one is born with some undesirable trait it then becomes OK is utter nonsense.
