Guardian: Paedophiles are 'ordinary members of society' who need moral support
The Telegraph ^ | January 3rd, 2013 | Damian Thompson

Posted on 01/03/2013 3:55:05 PM PST by Salman

Britain's most persecuted minority have found a new advocate. An article this morning in the Guardian by feature writer Jon Henley addresses misconceptions about paedophiles, quoting one "expert" who believes that: "It is the quality of the relationship that matters".

No, this is not not some sick send-up on my part. "If there's no bullying, no coercion, no abuse of power," says Tom O'Carroll, "if the child enters into the relationship voluntarily … the evidence shows there need be no harm."

O'Carroll is a former chairman of the Paedophile Information Exchange with a conviction for distributing indecent photographs. The Guardian acknowledges this, but gives him a respectful hearing and points out that "some academics do not dispute" his views.

While there have already been radical icons like Alan Ginsberg (who was a noted member of NAMBLA), I believe that the socialists will attempt to take this mainstream. The progressives will start brainwashing the college students. It’ll spread to school teachers and the radical clergy next. We’ll be asked to “understand” the motives of these creatures. Eventually, people who don’t want to see their kids raped will be painted by the media as extremists.

And so does pornography — which is almost unavoidable in our present society.

“Just ask the ten percent of the population that is homosexual “

I heard between 1 and 3 percent.

Opps,

Didn't mean it like that.

Either way I hope you get the point.

Even libs and lefties have a hard time letting some adult play doctor with their kids.

You can’t have a meaningful relationship with a child as some pedo activists (who are all gay, mind you) claim. As soon as the child attains puberty, the pedo would lose interest in them. It’s absurd to think otherwise.

Some scientists speculate that pedophilia evolved as a survival strategy (albeit a very poor one) in man’s early days. If a child was groomed to respond to you sexually, then you could impregnant her as soon as she was able to. Of course then you’d just move on to the next child and not care for her or your new offspring. Thus, the pedo benefited by passing on his genes at everyone else’s expense.

The last taboo, or would that be incest? Brother-sister marriage next?

As many have predicted with the recognition of homosexual marriages comes the move to the idea that “pedophiles” need “love too”.

Pathetic.

Translation. Someone at the Guardian is/or/has a close friend who is a pedophile.

Odinga could eat a live negro fetus on the set of “The View” and he’d be lauded for performing a post-partum abortion.

Any "professional" or other that maintains that without intimidation, physical threats or genuine violence, etc. there is little or minimal "harm," need only ask the adult "survivor," and I do use the word "survivor" intentionally, if they would recommend sexual connections between adults and children.

If that adult "survivor" is not nor has been involved in adult/child relationships since attaining adulthood, ask them what thier grown up lives and especially sexual lives have been like.

I dare say, these "survivors" will tell of years of dysfunctional living/therapy, issues of loss of self-esteem, difficulty in maintaining long term relationships and/or intimate relationships with the opposite sex.

When the adult/child sex is ongoing and especially occurs in the home, psychotherapists tend to treat the patient as one would treat someone who had been in a concentration camp or been a prisoner of war, because symptoms are similar to being held against one's will.

If any of this sounds like the result is "minimal" or "not harmful," you clearly do not get the picture. Whether or not the child has been physically abused, being sexually used for the pleasure of an adult, is never "not harmful" and the effects are lifelong. Whether "seduction," alcohol and/or drug induce is present, the fact remains that a real live innocent child is being defiled by an adult purely for the wicked pleasure of an adult that either cannot or will not bother to develop adult/adult relationships.

It is that adult that uses whatever he or she finds necessary to gain power, either physical or emotional over a child. That is never anything healthy nor helpful for the child.
