Watching is ok, just don't try and rape it.

I don't 'look down or blame' someone who has sexual preferences which are different than mine; that's not the point I was trying to make here. But pedophilia
is considered to be a sexual preference stemming from a mental disorder and also is not a socially acceptable sexual preference. So rather than blame, point fingers at, or condemn, I would merely suggest they (pedophiles) seek psychiatric assistance. (

Ref:
The APA's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4th edition, Text Revision gives the following as its "Diagnostic criteria for 302.2 Pedophilia":Quote:
Just that if someone is attracted to kids they shouldn't automatically be socially segregated as monsters or treated like their sexual orientation is a disease; something that has a history of not working.
But it
is considered a disease (a mental one). I know of no pedophiles who've been 'segregated' who've not been convicted of committing child molestation. The reason pedophiles who've committed this act are segregated is to prevent them from repeating that offense and for the safety of any children living in the vicinity of said offender.
Scots; you are the devil incarnate. You started this whole thing and I think we should all take turns calling you every half hour for the next 12 hrs.! :ebil:

Increasingly infrequently :erg:
I still buy it every month but only manage to laugh at a very few of the strips...the Fat Slags are pretty good, Biffa Bacon for the Geordie accents and Jack Black is always good. They have one or two really good writers whose satire is always spot on, but a lot of it is pretty flat nowadays.

I don't know about paedophiles, but this thread is certainly suffering from a Diasease!

Blame Scots for starting this thread and don't try to point the finger at me.

The DSM is routinely attacked for being unscientific. Columbia University acknowledges the unscientific nature of the DSM in their annual report of 2001, “Problems with the current DSM-IV categorical (present vs. absent) approach to the classification of personality disorders have long been recognized by clinicians and researchers.” Among the problems, they list “arbitrary distinction between normal personality, personality traits and personality disorder” and point out the interesting fact that the most commonly diagnosed personality disorder is 301.9, Personality Disorder not Otherwise Specified.WIKI WARS
[Edit]Also, what's up with changing 'e' to 'ae' lately? Does it make people sound more intelectual or something? Somaething.

Scots, what's with you lately? Is it the heat down there, or the stress of fatherhood getting to you or what? It's like you don't bother thinking things through before commenting on em.
Anyway, Fingernail, Shayde, OnionBob et all have already said what I wanna say on this topic.

As soon as I saw Wikipedia being whipped out I lost interest in Dia's argument anyway, regardless of what the content was.
