The progressive habit of labeling every human quirk or behavioral predilection as a “disease” or a “disorder” often gives license to those who should modify their behavior, but instead explain it away as something they have no control over. It is not uncommon for someone with a hot temper to explain away their unacceptable outbursts with the explanation that they were just “born that way,” when in fact it is part of the human challenge to control our impulses and to “civilize” ourselves so that we meet the standards of a polite society.
There are times, however, when recognizing a “condition” may be necessary in order to manage it, whether we believe it is a true condition a person was “born” with, or simply an impulse that the person refuses to modify or stifle.
According to one criminal psychologist, paedophilia, or sexual attraction to children, is an “orientation” that child sexual abusers are born with, and cannot change. The proposition is offensive since it diminishes personal responsibility and would seem to classify the rape of a child along with the so-called ‘orientation’.
Is paedophilia controllable, page 2:
SOUNDS LIKE A CHOICE YOU MAKE…
Nope.
Pedophiles are the same
Being straight or gay is a condition or attribute, not an action. It involves no one but your self.
Paedophilia, of necessity, includes a 2nd party unwilling victim.
Now we’re discussing what one person is allowed to do to another. It’s no longer simply personal.
If a paedophile imagines that he has rights, he should be reminded that so does the child victim have rights, which the paedophile is violating.
That’s why, in America, rights are called individual rights. Each of us has them to the same extent. They always involve what you can do with yourself, for yourself. No one has a right to deny others their rights.
No one has a right to the services or labor of another. The decision to provide such services or labor must reside with the provider.
Extreme example of all that – you have a right to kill yourself, but no right to kill another. See? Rights are personal, individual, not collective.
No it isn’t
Now they are going too far. First classifying moral and character weaknesses like alcoholism and drug abuse as medical conditions. That was a set up to allow this.
If it is a medical condition lets treat it by gelding or neutering those afflicted.
Don’t worry folks. The democrats will eventually make this legal. It’s definitely on their to do list and has been for years.
How about sex with animals…is that ok now as well?
See what they’re doing here? They are trying to condition people to think that being straight or heterosexual is the same as being gay. It simply is not. And now they’re trying to indoctrinate society to believe that pedophilia can be lump in as a “sexual orientation “ instead of being a mental disorder as it clearly is.
B******t
