Oh, and again, I'm not gay bashing. I happen to like my bisexual-ness. But, the problem, many pedophiles happen to like THEIR orientation, too... although, you get some who resist (but, I know a lot of gay/lesbian people who struggled with accepting what they were). The only difference: in the case of pedophiles, I hope they continue fighting forever, or eat a bullet before they succumb, or ANYTHING but actualizing their desires.
Alright!

I wasn't meaning to "gay-bash" in any way either, I ws just drawing that conclusion based on what already has been said in this thread. People think homosexuality is perfectly natural, and homosexuals are just fine and shouldn't be changed, but paedophilia is wrong and evil and disgusting? What's the difference? (By the way, I thought you meant big pen, like a big ink pen. Whoops.)

Alice, I wasn't relating homosexual sex with child molestation. In that case, I disagree with both, but that the child molester should be dealt with in a rather violent and painful way. The way I see it, the rapes, the beatings, everything they deal with in prison, they deserve it. But I was only talking about the difference--or lack thereof--between paedophilia and homosexuality.

-"Their feelings are as "natural" to them as mine are to me."
-"Pedophilism is just a predisposition that someone has"
-"In all seriousness, pedophelia really is as much a mystery as homosexuality."
-"I do not think pedophilia can be cured. I think it's like being gay--you're just born that way, and that's all there is to it."

Sounds like paedophilia and homosexuality are quite similar.
