Rights for Pedophiles?

I see this as not about consent, but about the pedophiles wanting protected status. Because they are sexual deviants, it will help them to feel as if they are doing no wrong, help them to feel normal because it is how they were born, which is of course non sense.
 
You are failing to link either homosexuality or heterosexuality as predisposed to pedophilia.

Homosexuality, per se, has nothing to do with pedophilia.
 
Homosexuality and pedophilia have nothing in common except they are both perversions, both abnormalities. The same arguments legalizing homosexual behavior can be and will be used to legalize pedophilia. Race has nothing to do with behavior, but gays have no trouble equating their circumstances with interracial marriage.

The problem with your ideal is this: You are making a sweeping comparison between a homosexual desire and a pedophile's desire of wanting to have sex with prepubescent children.

You fail to acknowledge that homosexuals are consenting legal adults who share the responsibility in society of paying taxes, voting, driving, working and other adult things and prepubescent children do not and are not capable of making adult choices in regards to sex so they are a protected class as they should be.

No where does will ANY law say that a person with homosexual preferences is now allowed to force heterosexuals to be homosexuals. You see adults must consent.

Children do not work, pay taxes, votes. They are not adults and not responsible.
Pedophiles will not be allowed to just go molest children because it is their desire.
 
They can't consent only by definition. If we change the definition of consent like we changed the definition of marriage.... voila. The are now EMPOWERED to consent.

Sure, "if" we change the definition of consent. Problem is, there's no indication that this is going to happen at any time in the foreseeable future. Not gonna happen, so no use speculating.
 
Age is just a number. The law is quite clear on the age of consent. Change the law, lower the age of consent and you have legalized pedophilia. In the United States the age of consent by state is between 16 and 18, yet we just saw a controversy over whether a 14 year old had the right to consent to a sexual relationship with an adult lesbian.

The answer to whether homosexuals are or are not pedophiles can be answered with a resounding MAYBE.

There is currently nothing indicating that our gov't (on either local or Federal level) is currently working on reducing the age of consent for the purpose of making sex with minors legal. Nothing. It'd be just as useful to speculate "what would happen" if someone drafted law stating that all Senators must be dogs.

The answer to whether homosexuals are or are not pedophiles can be answered with a resounding MAYBE.

What? Homosexuals are homosexuals and pedophiles are pedophiles. Two different things.

Ten years ago no one thought that the definition of marriage would be changed either.

Two different perversions. Necrophilia and pedophilia are two different things but both are deviant.

Two completely different things, Katz. One involves infringing on the rights of children, while the other involves two consenting adults.

You need to get your head out of the sand!

Pedophiles are attracted to prepubescent children, if a Pedophile is attracted to the same sex of prepubescent children it still makes them a pedophile.

Most Heterosexuals & Homosexuals are not attracted to prepubescent children.

Age of consent will not be changed to allow sex, voting, driving, drinking , for prepubescent children.

Most Americans agree that homosexuality or homosexual marriage by consenting adults is a given right not perversion.

Almost all Americans agree that children and particularly pre-pubescent children cannot consent to sex.

The age of consent is an arbitrary number. Change the law and the age of consent changes. As far as the rights of children go, legalizing pedophilia will be promoted as a right children have to enjoy sexual pleasure. The reliance on "law" is much too heavy. Right now we have laws against smoking pot. Those laws might change and you think they should change. You can surely understand someone wanting to change other laws they perceive as unfair too. As we become coarsened and less civilized, we are ready to accept that a 14 year old girl can enjoy a sexual relationship with her 18 year old partner. Why not a 14 year old and a 24 year old? Why not a 16 year old and a 10 year old? Or, as has made the news, an 11 year old girl and a 17 year old boy.

We already accept that children, sometimes very young children are overly sexualized. Condoms are handed out in elementary school. So much of this horse has left the barn already, that only the tip of the tail is still catching in the door. It's not IF pedophilia will be legalized, it's a matter of when. When the final barrier falls, it will come as recognizing the rights of children, not abusing them.

Your opinion is not indicative of anyone else's reality.
 
The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who choose to maintain their neutrality (acceptance) in times of moral crisis.

Agreed.

And, pedophiles already enjoy freedom and protection to molest kids. Its called the Catholic church.

Seriously, how many now become priests BECAUSE they are pedophiles?

And, I suspect that most also know that the "definition" of marriage was not and has not and will not be changed.

Its a silly argument and most people are smart enough to see that.
 
BTW, congratulations to katzen for this -
Homosexuality and pedophilia have nothing in common except they are both perversions, both abnormalities.

In the past, he/she/it has joined the other idiots in saying that homosexuals are pedophiles and vise versa. Looks like katzen has actually educated him/her/it's self on this issue.
