Now what's the purpose of distinguishing between the two (sex crime against children vs attraction to children) by the media, other than to normalize attraction to children? Normalize it by creating a distinction, that didn't exist in the minds of people, between the actual molestation (sex crime) and the attraction that leads to it (pedophilia), first being legally punishable and the second not. Thus. drawing the people's hatred to the first, and sparing the second. They're implying that since the second is not legally punishable, it should be socially acceptable too.
Firstly: Once something is socially acceptable, then the laws can be amended accordingly. Why should social and moral correctness adhere to legal correctness, and not vice versa?
Secondly: Should we accept it? If not, then why make such statements? If pedophiles don't advertise themselves, nobody has a problem with them. What is the purpose of advertising themselves than to want acceptability for it (EDIT: unless they want help, which is fine)? I think it's not a normal condition by any means, and indicates some kind of unresolved mental issues. We should aim to treat it.
The intent behind making such statements is what people here are concerned with, and not its correctness. You're focused on the latter, while not addressing the former. Hence the part about slippery slopes is relevant.
I'm sorry. I have no idea what you are thinking.
The definition of pedophilia IS a mental condition, it is not 'an indication' of a mental condition. When you abandon the use of words as defined, you abandon all logic. You become no better than an animal, emoting and not thinking.
Now lets play a little thought experiment.
Is it illegal for me to want to kill my neighbor? No.
When does it become illegal? When I commit a crime.
Crime = Crime (Action)
Broad statements. Speaking for a collective group. Caring about their opinions over facts. Reddit+
In your reply you are actively using the logic you are claiming to decry, to denounce said logic. This is not logic.
Rape = Rape (Action)
Thoughts = Thoughts (non action)
You asked this Question. How is this even a normal thought in your head?
Why would I debate such nonsense as normal?
How did you become so lost?
Ok then we both agree that pedophilia is a sickness that should not be accepted in society. Let's continue to ostracize pedophiles who advertise themselves (how else would we know?), unless it's for seeking help. You can disregard my other statements in that case. I'm not trying to win an argument with you.
But it is socially unacceptable :) Just like pedophilia is socially unacceptable, and only sex crime is legally unacceptable :)
Correct. It is to be shunned and not accepted as a normal aspect of society.
