Why do we allow anything then? If it's a slippery slope then the whole slope is slippery.

Just because some people find a particular sort of sex icky does not mean that it's immoral. And if you think that argument can been easily used to encourage acceptance of pedophilia then I have to wonder if you just find pedophilia merely icky rather than devastating to its victims.

can you please restate your arguement in more concrete, absolute terms?

someones opinion of 'icky' is not a consideration here.. it can be argued that, to say pedophilia is devastating to its victims is contrary to the UN drive for 'childrens rights'.. who are you to say what is right for a child, if they are able to choose for themselves?

if pedophilia is damaging to its victims, than the only difference between pedophilia and homosexuality, is the damage was done long enough ago to be difficult to scientifically correlate to a homosexual's current behavior..
