I wouldn't be surprised if in 50 years its legal to have sex with kids but that doesn't mean i'd approve of it. there are two big reasons that pedophilla is wrong.

reason 1: Kids are not mentaly or emotionally capable of understanding or dealing with sex.

reason 2: The younger a girl is when she gets preagnant the more likely there will be complications with the birth, so obviously we aren't suppose to get preaggnant before a cerntin age.

If you want to fantasize about it i'm not gonna stop you but the moment you actually touch a kid then you need to be put down.

It's not right, and it'll never be right. I mean, you have to be seriously messed up to even consider doing it.

I think the closest thing to acceptance that would, or in fact, should ever be allowed is possibly lowering the age of consent by 1 or 2 years. Anything under 14 is just disgusting, and even then it's pushing it, and should never be allowed.

Homosexuality and things of that ilk are more accepted because it is between 2 fully developed adults. Below about 13, they're children, mentally and physically, and as such will never be ready for a proper, sexually safe relationship.

In a technical sense, the word Pedophilia simply means "lover of children". It doesn't necessarily mean sexual love.

But in the sense, you're talking about, yes, it is wrong.

Perhaps it's a simplistic sense of morality, but it's just one of those things that FEEL wrong.

It's a shame that consenting, normal and respectful homosexuals get thrown in with child predators out of sheer convinence for the bigot making the stament (it's become a catch-all fraze for people you think are sick or disgusting).

Pedophilia is supposedly more of a pscychological thing than a natural inclination (having power over your victims is something rapists and child predators have in common).

I'm hoping more study is done on child predators and pedophiles (on a mental/behavioral level) so that we can come up with better solutions for both children and the inidivuals in question (I don't think making them all live together in an apartment complex at a certain distance from schools/parks will solve the problem).

I say that because in Florida there are strict sex offender laws and you're basically a marked man/women for the rest of your life if you even sleep with a minor above 15.And they usually make the actual pedophiles who've had incidences with children live together in special apartment complexes and are kept under watch by local police.

I honestly don't think it solves anything, they're kept under watch usually because they're most likely repeat offenders... but the real problem seems to be psychological.

Just my two cents.

I don't agree with pedophillia. I feel it's a severe disorder and should be treated. People who feel this way, I don't think they mean to have these thoughts but.. they should seek treatment, so as not to harm anyone and learn to control their inhibitions.

Who could say? Societies seem so strange over time, we look back at the Greeks and such and we think they're insane, but for some reason, they saw nothing wrong with it.

However, I do think people are going a bit overboard with the whole child-protection thing right now, people being told off for taking pictures of their own children, kissing their own children on the head.
Children are only stupid if you don't educate.

"Timmy, if a man or woman comes up to you and says he or she wants to get in your pants, he or she wants to use you and that's against the law. Not too many people want to, but some do. Watch out for them."

Just use that paragraph, name not withstanding, children have got a lot of the protection they already need, knowledge is a lot of power.
Children are "weak" because we invented childhood for modern times, if we just inform them of what they need to know, they'll be fine.

Also, notice the invention of "childhood" made the paedophile population seemingly boom? Yeah, might be something in that... attempting to hold onto the idea of innocence and youth, people do strange things.
Making up the idea of innocence with youth, well, it might just be responsible.

And I know children are not innocent, I was thinking of busty ladies aged eight.

The reason pedofelia is looked down upon is VERY different from the reason that some cultures look down upon homosexuality or other sexual behaviors. The reason some people think that homosexuality is wrong is because of a book that has somewhere between little and no scientific basis on which to claim morality. The reason pedofelia is wrong is because the object of sexual attraction in pedofelia is a group of beings who are not capable of defending themselves from unwanted sexual advances, or in many cases are not even capable of recognizing exactly what a sexual advance is. The difference is clear, homosexuality has NO victim (unless you want to contend that it's practitioners have damned themselves to hell, I make no such claims myself), which is why it's only considered culturally wrong (and I for one don't consider it wrong at all), pedofilia clearly has a victim, which is why it is absolutely wrong.

No, it won't, because the fundamental difference is that homosexuality is usually between two consenting people of appropriate age, whereas pre-pubescent children cannot be trusted to make rational decisions. Thus, paedophilia takes advantage of this.

I suppose in its base state, paedophilia isn't wrong. It's just a sexual preference. If you have your fantasies, fine, keep them in your head. It's only when a person acts on them that it becomes a problem.
Agreed.

There's nothing to justify the act of exploiting a naive child for sexual gain, and possibly causing the victim a lifetime of psychological distress.

Arab traditions do not generally allow pre-puberty girls to be married. I'd like to say marriage =/= sex, but that's probably a stretch.

Just because it happens doesn't mean it's condoned. If an 11 year old gets raped in the US, are the Chinese going to assume that's just what happens there?
Actually, sadly enough, that's just what most people do anywhere in the world, making assumptions based on isolated incidents and overgeneralizing them to cover entire cultures.
I'm just going by what I remember reading, noting that my memory is not the best storage device for information and could be wrong. My brain isn't so much a computer as it is a piece of Swiss cheese; full of holes, not very good for holding things, but tasty with crackers.

You can take one vote off of the 18 ones, I read the question wrong.

Pedophilia is disgusting, no one in their right minds would ever want to have sex with a child. Homosexuality is between two consenting adults. Pedophilia is between a perverted deviant and a young person whom I'm sure never said yes and if she did, she did not want to or did not understand what she said yes to.

Exactly this - kids can't understand what's going on whereas the big hairy dude doing the crime does.
If paedophiles were big and hairy, they wouldn't get near anyone and that is stereotyping big hairy people.

I completely agree with the second bit and at least partly with the first. I reckon more could possibly be said on the matter, but in general... 'This.'

Assuming pedophiles are male. :-/
