Your friend tells you they're a paedophile
RE: Your friend tells you they're a paedophile
I respect that Peon. Thanks for taking the time to think it over. I think my answers would be the same as yours.

Indeed, no one is suggesting sexual activity with children is acceptable. I suspect it's what makes it such a hard condition to live with; chances are you're disgusted by your own desires. The desires won't automatically be accompanied by a change in morality. I'm addressing the attitude of society towards paedophiles in general. Unfortunately the general attitude seems to be one of hatred, which makes it much less likely anyone will come forward and get support. This outcome is counter productive.

As for necrophilia, again if it's not acted on it doesn't matter. And it's not something you can detect, turn off or cure. Personally I'd rather someone molested a dead body than a child. But I think any condition where the person can't help it deserves sympathy. As soon as they offend, the sympathy is lost but treatment should still be available. Not treating them doesn't make them disappear.

I don't understand the recurring theme here that they should be considered guilty until proven innocent. All I can say is put yourself in their place. You're already protecting your children, and they are probably already miserable. No need to put the boot in.
