Actually there are quite a few drugs and therapies out there that can aid with alcoholism. IIRC, there is actually a drug that causes a temporary disconnect with the pleasure center of the brain, wherein an alcoholic can have a drink without relapsing. Granted for pedophila, abstention is still a requirement, but it need not rely solely on support groups.
Fixed that. Pedophila is the disorder, the attraction. Sexual abuse and molestation is the action. The fact that pedophila might not be a reason for the molestation is why you will not find pedophila on the law books.
Are you talking about where females in their early teens were wedded and started bearing children? Not pedophila in most cases. First off the hebophilia would be the case, and secondly they were seen as adults, not children, by all of society. Pretty much every society would view actual pedophila as wrong and detrimental to the age group affected.
You screwed something up. I never said 'pedophilia is wrong wrong wrong' I mean, I totally agree with that, but I dont like having words shoved in my mouth. Ill assume it was a mistake.
Onus is entirely on you to substantiate that utterly bogus allegation with credible sources. Note that the source for the OP has already been exposed as bunkum.
Name the "group" that is allegedly "engaged" in pedophilia and provide factual credible evidence of said "engagement".
I can be swayed away by simple rational arguments. Several of them tried to ground their claims, but it was been ruined by several simple questions, no one be able answer to. You cannot use arguments that does not extend on toddlers unless you think that sex with them is okay. You cannot use this arguments too, unless you believe that is okay to have sex with adults who have no authority over child. You know, it is questionable in some jurisdictions to have sex with your boss even you're an adult. Like what? What is so special with sex? I will never get tired to ask one simple question which I asked many times and didn't heard no intelligible answer yet: What is the difference between sex and hug? What makes them so different that you unable to consent on one, and be able to consent on another?
Because it is a CHILD who doesn't know any better! There is an age of consent for a reason. Children cannot sign legal binding contracts because they don't understand what it is that they are signing. Equally they cannot give consent to sexual intercouse.
I don't have such possibility, because I don't live in US and my spoken English is bad. I thought here is a perfect place for discussion.
Nope! You are saying that alcoholism is "accepted" because some people have addictive personalities and that this a "defense" for alcoholics to drive drunk and kill people. If that illogical nonsense doesn't apply to alcoholics then why would it apply to pedophiles?
Do we "understand" alcoholics? Yes or no? Do we condone the crimes committed by alcoholics? Yes or no? Do we accept that alcoholics who abstain from their addiction are useful members of society? Yes or no?
Egregious false equivalence! When I hug my child I am expressing human warmth and affection without any sexual component whatsoever. When I hug my brother or my mother or my dog and there is no sexual component whatsoever. Furthermore I hug my spouse on a regular basis with no sexual component either. It is just a means of expressing my affection for her. A hug is nothing more than an expression of affection. There is a massive difference between a hug and sexual intercourse and it is painfully obvious that you lack the ability to know the difference since you asked the question. The onus is entirely on YOU to learn that crucial difference because it does NOT in any way justify pedophilia.
Does this matter in the context that you've failed to argue why it's wrong? You still defend to punish this people with no proofs that they did something wrong.
