Don't know why you're using definitions that you think are BS...

At any rate, regardless of how disgusting the actual act may be, there is never any reason to stigmatize thoughts.  I personally don't see any problem in a person being attracted to those younger than them, so long as they realize that actually following through on the act would be unfair and harmful and don't do it. 

Being a good person does not mean never having the impulse to harm another.  We have all thought of doing things that would hurt another.  Being a good person means that you have desires that would be pleasing to you but harmful to another, yet you realize that person's feelings are as important as yours, and so you restrain yourself.

Not a fallacy if it's true and rooted in historical observation. You are, however, guilty of cherry picking who is considered normal and who is considered a perv. 

Can a child truly understand sex before they reach puberty and feel the urge to have sex? I think that is what qualifies as "informed" consent. 

I think pedophilia is bad. The only thing I said in this thread is that they shouldn't be punished for only having thoughts, because that would be very dumb.

As for you comparing them to gays: When you ask me why having sexual relations with kids is wrong I can answer it easily. Because kids cannot give informed consent. When I ask you why homosexuality is wrong you'll probably answer "unnatural" "religion said it was wrong" or something like that. Homosexuality between 2 consenting adults does not harm anyone which is why it cannot be compared to pedophilia.

I was going to say something along those lines, but then I realized that it's pointless.  You can't reason someone out of a position they weren't reasoned into.  So if you want to take the argument up, go for it, but I have to imagine there are more fruitful ways to spend your time.

Here you go. I don't care where or in who you put your dick, but at least be consistent about your political views. If you espouse gay rights, you must necessarily espouse the rights of other marginalized groups.

In 1981, Dr. Theo Sandfort, co-director of the research program of the Department of Gay and Lesbian Studies at the University of Utrecht, Netherlands, interviewed 25 boys aged 10 to 16 who were currently involved in sexual relationships with adult men. The interviews took place in the homes of the men.

According to Sandfort, "For virtually all the boys ... the sexual contact itself was experienced positively..." Could an adult-child sexual contact, then, truly be called positive for the child? Based on the research presented, Sandfort answered that question in the affirmative.

Harris Mirkin recently wrote a lead article in the Journal of Homosexuality entitled "The Pattern of Sexual Politics: Feminism, Homosexuality and Pedophilia." Using social-constructionist theory, he argues that the concept of child molestation is a "culture- and class-specific creation" which can and should be changed.

He likens the battle for the legalization of pedophilia to the battles for women's rights, homosexual rights, and even the civil rights of blacks.

Notice how it is 10 - 16. Most of them likely post-puberty (some start earlier than others.) That means he is not advocating pedophilia, but rather ephebophilia and/or hebephilia. 

 If he did the same study for 5-10 year olds, do you think it would be overwhelmingly true that the boys would like it? I can guarantee you a few would not from people I know who were molested as children. 

This. But people who claim they are pedophiles will be seen as sick, disgusting bastards; instead of having a mental disorder. So, a lot of pedophiles won't dare to go and get help because it's socially stigmatized. They need help, and some of them know that. I suppose that you can be a pedophile and be aware that it's wrong. 

Hmmmm, this is an interesting question and I'm impressed that someone asked it. It's definitely a complicated issue.

Do you agree that society looks down too much on Pedophilia? Probably so. I think most people like to think they have the monopoly on morality, but I'd like to think pedophiles deserve as much sympathy, compassion and chance for change (if they want to change) as anyone else.

Is this hate justified?

Again, I don't think so. It's categorized as one of the most taboo things you can do since society has such an innate instinct to protect its children. But pedophilia and child molestation are two very different things. The desire isn't inherently wrong, but acting on it is. That's just my initial opinion without much knowledge on the subject.

Overall what do you think on Pedophilia ( The attraction not the act of child abuse )?

I'm not disgusted by it since I've never personally known any pedophiles or been a subject of their desires (as far as I know). But just as a general group, I think it's no better or worse than any other sexual deviation considered socially unacceptable. People can have attraction to animals, robots, cartoon ponies, children, etc. and as long as they don't act on it by harming another individual, I guess it's whatever they want to do? Sounds weird me typing that, but I guess that's my opinion on the matter.

As a side note, it wasn't that long ago that all homosexuals were suspected pedophiles. To my knowledge, that theory has been largely discredited as society became more accepting of the LGBT population and learned to understand and educate itself about things that it once feared (LGBT people). I think the same should go for pedophiles, like I said above. They deserve the same amount of compassion and sensitivity towards their issues as anyone else. I realize the fundamental difference is that homosexuality is between two consenting adults, while pedophilia is not; however, I'm just saying, it's easy to pass judgment and much more difficult to try and understand. We're all humans on this earth and deserve that understanding. I'm sure I might feel differently if I had children, or had been abused myself, or known anyone that had been sexually abused as a child.

1. Correct.  But after thousands of years of this, it is hardly inconceivable that there would be people who'd feel a natural attraction towards the prepubescent.  

2. Actually, it was once very common that the men in question would choose the wife years before her first blood.  The marriage typically wouldn't happen until after (as it would have been utterly pointless before hand), but there was plenty of room for attraction to exist before she was biologically ready to become a mother.
