Are you guys asking me if a baker should be forced to make a cake for a pedophile, with a pornographic picture of a young boy on it, because a baker was forced to make a wedding cake for a homosexual?
The answer is no.
OMG THIS MEANS I AM IDEOLOGICALLY UNSOUND. PANICCCCCCCCC!!11~
This is exactly what I am talking about. Theoretical freedom - let's say you have your freedom of association. That it means less people being actually able to associate is irrelevant. What matters is ideological consistency. Nevermind that the reason I want to protect gays and blacks and women more is because they have suffered more - if I support one, I MUST support the other. And because I want to suppress behaviour I find offensive here, I have to want to suppress it there.
All that being said, guess what? I think we need to drastically alter our treatment of pedophiles. We are criminalizing a behaviour that does seem to have some sort of an innate basis. We should probably just start work on realistic computer-generated child porn and get these folks help, to help eliminate the dangers of sex-starved pedophiles.
