59. I understand this is a tough subject and touches a lot of nerves
But speaking as someone that has studied some psychology, I think it is important to understand this....not accept it, but understand it. And right now we really don't understand this because it's considered so taboo that people don't even want psychologists to study it. Just execute them, many will say. That's not going to solve much. Evidence of pedophilia go back all the way through history. So you will never be able to execute them all.

64. Plus, 'catching' a predator occurs after the abuse.
If we can gain better insight into the causes, maybe some abuse can be prevented.
Why would you want to do that? We are told that homosexuals cannot control their behavior, and now this says pedophiles can't control theirs. What's the difference? How can you justify permitting one and not the other?
See liberals, you can't. If one is OK then so is the other.

39. Too bad. This disease harms innocent children and no amount of experts trying to tame the idea with words like sexual orientation is going to normalize it. We are animals deep in our psyche and animals kill to protect their young. How about experts normalize this immutable fact.
Harms innocent children? Says who? Who are you to judge whether a child is harmed anymore than if homosexuals are harming each other by their conduct? Just because of their age? Give it time and your wonderful scientists that you adore will reach a consensus that pedophilia doesn't harm children. Then what will you do? Fall in line, just like you want to do now.
Liberals are looking to eliminate Age of Consent laws, there's no doubt. And when the push to make it happen starts getting better organized, the primitives will be right on board cheering it on.

44. The study showed these sick, defective shits were confusing wants with needs?
I dunno, I missed that part.
As for the human filth, some of the more loathesome apologists propose that kiddie porn be legalized, only computer generated or animated of course, so that "no one gets hurt"... apparently completely ignorant (willfully so, IMNSHO) that rewarding their indefensible appetites with as strong of a positive feedback mechanism as orgasm will necessarily increase their monstrous ideation.

47. "...a deep-rooted predisposition that does not change..."
I think that's implied.
I don't think kiddie porn should be legalized under any circumstances. I agree the risk is too great. Porn has an influence on those with established deviant tendencies.
There shouldn't be computer generated kiddie porn because it might cause them to really act out their fantasies, but on Skin's island they tell me a violent video game where you get to kill everyone in sight has no effect on the pysche of the one playing. OK, hypocrite much?
Liberals/Progressives will be on board for lowering Age of Consent laws, it's just a matter of time.
