Pedophilia Officially Classified as Sexual Orientation

How intolerant of you.

Ha!

Eh I don't think anyone need tolerate pedophiles...particularly those that act on the urges.

There is a clear difference between two adults who love each other, and a person who wants to have sex (consentual or non-consentual) with someone who is far too young to understand the consequences of doing so.

Seriously? Are we really defending pedophiles? What´s next,rapists?

Those poor things amirite?

Considering you're the most pedantic user we have here....I can't imagine why you didn't read the second part of my sentence. Second....I don't much care. A racist may not be able to control their opinions either...that doesn't mean I have to tolerate them.

Again using your technique...it's clear some pedophiles have done so. So you cannot state with 100% accuracy that a pedophile hasn't. Depends on the pedophile doesn't it?

Yes, that'll sure fix the situation. . .

Man,it´s a good thing I don´t come to off topic very often because this shit is pretty sad.

The same could be said of homosexuals.

What the **** is your problem with homosexuals? Consenting adults can agree to whatever they want between themselves. Children cannot. You have some issues with this constant comparison dude.

To be a person with pedophilia, you don't necessarily have to have committed any wrongdoing. Pedophilia is a mental disorder, and like any other mental disorder, nobody chooses to have it.

To be a rapist, you have to have actually committed a crime involving rape. While the crime certainly can stem from a variety of mental disorders, in the vast majority of cases the rapist made a conscious choice to rape.

Ergo, the two are not comparable situations.

Just saying, some Homosexuals have victimized others. As have some straight people.

Not sure why you feel the need to single out one sexual orientation, perhaps you could enlighten us?

Bull shit ....read the quote chain. His comment had nothing to do with what I said.

Reading Comprehension fail, once again.

You're on a roll LJS.

I agree with my bud thegerg

Now you're just being dishonest. You brought homosexuality into this...not me.

That's sad dave. He just agreed with Nibroc comparing homosexuality to pedophilia.

And the AMA stated they were both sexual orientations.

I'm not the one suggesting all pedophiles cause victims.

I suggest you read the thread before stating that happened. And I didn't say all pedophiles cause victims. I corrected thegerg when he said pedophiles never victimized. I said some had.....it depends on the individual in question. You really really should start reading before responding. You make a fool of yourself every time...

He quoted my post in regard to pedophiles...nothing about my post was about homosexuality. I responded to your post that was not about homosexuality. Therefore, he introduced the comparison. And you agreed with it. You're getting as bad as he is.

Pedophiles do not victimize.

Those with a pedophilic disorder, which is not considered the same as Pedophiles, DO victimize people.

Seems you haven't even read the links provided in the OP, maybe you should take some time to read that, as well of the rest of the post.

"Pedophilia refers to a sexual orientation or profession of sexual preference devoid of consummation,"
"Pedophilic disorder is defined as a compulsion and is used in reference to individuals who act on their sexuality."

I think thegerg and lj are on the same page even if they see otherwise. Nibroc is somewhere else I guess

Wat.

That's like saying those who are homosexual do not engage in homosexual activity.

And you do realize that the links in the OP are bullshit right? It's been stated over and over again in this very same thread.

Pedophilia is obviously wrong, I do however understand that nobody chooses to be a pedophile. I only have a problem with them once they start to act on those urges.

So... is it safe to say this was a successful troll thread?

Rainbow news flash: Some of them don't.

LOL that's so wrong. Yes pedophiles do victimize. Not all...but some. To say they do not is ridiculous. I suggest you pay attention better.

Isn't that what it is? What else would you call it?

technically it would.

also make for good television.

No it's not an orientation. Pedophiles are not all the same orientation.

Homosexuality is biologically based and takes place between consenting adults. Pedophilia is not and has been shown to be extremely damaging to children.

You already knew the answer, so don't ask stupid questions.

I do remember a lot of conservatives saying this would happen though. Guess they were right, now the far left liberals will try to defend what is a horrible thing.

Only if you could somehow know if anyone is a pedo or not.

You seem to have an anti-gay-children agenda. You bigot. lol.

Canada is more liberal than the US dude....

You seem to lack reading skills as usual. What does that have to do with the U.S. falling and ending up in a similar situation as current rome in italy?
