Normalizing Pedophilia???

Just when I thought that NOTHING could surprise/disgust me, we have this...

If a small group of psychiatrists and other mental health professionals have their way at a conference this week, pedophiles themselves could play a role in removing pedophilia from the American Psychiatric Association’s bible of mental illnesses — the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), set to undergo a significant revision by 2013. Critics warn that their success could lead to the decriminalization of pedophilia.
...
B4U-ACT has been active attacking the APA’s definition of pedophilia in the run up to the conference, denouncing its description of “minor-attracted persons” as “inaccurate” and “misleading” because the current DSM links pedophilia with criminality.

Hmmm - could that be because it IS CRIMINAL????

Child advocate Dr. Judith Reisman, a visiting professor at Liberty University’s School of Law, said the conference is part of a strategy to condition people into accepting pedophiles.

“The first thing they do is to get the public to divest from thinking of what the offender does criminally, to thinking of the offender’s emotional state, to think of him as thinking of his emotional state, [and] to empathize and sympathize,” Reisman said. “You don’t change the nation in one fell swoop; you have to change it by conditioning. The aim is to get them [pedophiles] out of prison.”

I'll say it again - IT IS CRIMINAL. Their emotional state? Who gives a good Goddamn about their emotional state - what about the children they're molesting - any thoughts about THEIR emotional state???

What purpose does calling someone a ‘pervert’ or ‘predator’ serve anyway, other than to express contempt and hatred?” Kramer wrote in a March 14, 2009 blog entry on the website ReformSexOffenderLaws.org. “How is this productive? It certainly doesn’t protect children. I would urge all SO [sex offender] activists to listen to their own message: Stop buying into and promoting false stereotypes. Stop demonizing a whole class of people, and start learning the facts.”

Okay - note to Kramer - we express contempt and hatred because these perverts are contemptable and hated.

There is just SO much wrong with this. How is it "normal" for an adult to lust after a child? How can we decriminalize pedophilia when the children who are the potential victims are in no way, shape or form able to understand, let alone consent, to what these animals want.

I have one question for all these so-called experts. Would YOU leave these pieces of male bovine excrement alone with YOUR children? Would that "relationship" be fine and dandy with you? If so, you belong in prison. If not, you're a hypocrite.
