lol, by all means, release the documents. Bad Dick Durban.
The documents that may shed more light on Epstein's friend Donald Trump.
Now go read the article, tard. And show me where the author is stating that abusing kids shouldn't be a crime.

Dick durbin is protecting Donald trump? Get the absolute fuc k out of here with that unserious take 😂😂
Keep those words in mind as your party continues to “progress”. What you wrote about everyone being against it was the same that was written about homosexuality and transgenderism years ago.
The basis for condemnation is harming others. If it doesn't harm, it isn't condemned. That's the driving force here. Haven't you figured this out by now?
Not a democrat anyway.
It was only 2019 that progressives were denying that leftists were alleging that men could menstruate - and now in 2025 we have half the members of this board changing their tampons every month. It’s simply a matter of time that MAPs (minor attracted people) will be you newest champion.
It might be a disorder but it is still a terrible crime. I doubt the OP-Ed is saying to not incarcerate these felons at least I hope not. They need to be in jail for a long time for doing those things to a minor.
Definition of PEDOPHILIA
sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object; specifically : a psychiatric disorder in which an adult has sexual fantasies about or engages in sexual acts with a prepubescent child… See the full definition

The article was talking about people with pedophilia getting treatment for said condition. (if they abuse kids they go to jail -- not all people with pedophilia do)
I posted the article earlier in the thread.
What's your take -- people choose to be attracted to kids because it sounds fun?
Do people with foot fetishes decide to be attracted to feet?
Tell us, how does this work?
Harming others is in the eye of the beholder. An 11 year old thinks she’s “in love” with a 40 year old. The political party who wants to give her the ability to change her sex at 7 years old will argue this girl needs to follow her heart and be with the pervert.
lol. Of course there can be disagreements over the finer details of what constitutes a harm. (how much we care about downstream harm etc etc)
Is that a serious argument though? The democratic party, if anything, would be much more likely to condone all instances of 11 + 40 in a relationship because they're much more keen on the idea of consent and balance of power between involved parties in a relationship.
The conservative mind, on the other hand, is more likely to permit something like an 11 year old being married off to an adult man on the (irrational) basis of tradition or the like.
No different than people who have a desire to beat their spouses?
It’s good and evil. Everyone is born with certain desires both ways. Society should have guidelines of what is and isn’t acceptable and the people burdened with urges that are not acceptable need to keep them in check.
My problem is society keeps relaxing the guidelines where it continues to get closer to “anything goes”.
Born with certain desire would seem to equate to "born that way."
Obviously with sexual attraction and pedophilia there are strong guidelines everybody agrees on. (because children can be badly harmed this way)
Again... you'll notice we relax on the basis of harm -- unless it's directly harming someone else it isn't legal wrong or crime. It's about that simple.
Agreed - there are and have been agreed upon guidelines for protections. But the transitioning of younger kids is an example, in my opinion, where one side believes you are helping a child and the other believes you are hurting them - so it’s not a guideline everyone’s agrees upon.
I would not be surprised to see sexual attraction and pedophilia guidelines relaxed as time moves on, but only time will tell.
I agree that they're probably screwing up with some of the minors they give hormones or less frequently, surgery to.
But on the pedophilia thing it seems like America is more strongly against it than ever from multiple angles. Would have to take a real step back on that one, which I don't see happening. (there is the age of consent thing which varies by state and country, but that's a bit different)
It draws a distinction between pedophilia and child molestation/sexual assault.
this is so stupid
do you choose stupidity or do you just not recognize it when you look in the mirror?
To be called a pedophiliac dont you have to have touched or abused a minor? Or do they also talk about it being people who only have pictures and video?Definition of PEDOPHILIA

The author’s proposition is pedophilia itself isn’t a crime, it’s a disorder. When the pedophilia is acted on, it’s sexual assault/battery/molestation/child abuse, etc. and that is and always should be a crime.
It’s a pretty short piece and linked above.
