A sexually liberal society will allow children to consent to whoever they please. You can't blame them; they're merely following the philosophy of sexual liberalization. In the future the same way we negatively speak out against those who don't think all is right with homosexuality we will with pedophilia. Animals also engage in incest, and since we follow the rules of animals that will be accepted too someday. Not today, not tomorrow, but some time in the future. Watch as our values become updated in the future and we are seen as old-fashioned prudes and bigots against people who are born pedophiles.
I couldn't have said it better, we have allowed society to erode to such a degree that we only have ourselves to blame. Liberals will never see the errors in their way of thinking, it has ushered in a new age of lunacy where everything that we believe in, all our morals will be out the window.

So if two adults consent to have a duel with pistols, is it moral?
Enough with this "you can't compare homosexuality with pedophilia" nonsense.

I never painted "all academics as pedophiles." That is a straw-man argument. Nice try but no.
I never claimed they were "gathering to rally support for child molestation ." Nope. That's you putting words into my mouth,
You know if this is what university is, I'm glad I didn't go. More than glad -- proud. It's like they are laughing at you, they hook you on student loan debt (which can't be discharged) and then once you are there you learn all this evil, useless stuff from people who think pedophiles are good.
If Partygirl was in charge of things these "elite institutions" would be boarded up and then re-opened as homeless shelters and libraries for the public! The "professors" who are like a cancer rotting the once-proud Western tradition should be tried for putting children in danger ! ! !

You accuse me of saying things I did not say and then insult me for things I never said. Nice. I find the strawman one of the weakest and most pathetic of argumentative tactics.
What is going on here is that they are talking about de-stigmatizing pedophilia on an academic/formal level, which is the first step to de-stigmatizining it in wider ways in general society. Obviously they aren't there holding a "rally." Only a complete idiot would think that just because they aren't there waving banners, doesn't mean the actions they take are not going to have effects that are going to be very pro-pedophile in the real world. In fact what they are doing is much more effective than any "rally to support child molestors." What they are doing is tinkering with the medical and legal definitions to make the world more pedophile-friendly.
Moreover, "if you'd bothered to read" (your words to me) the list of assertions in the article, I think you would find many of them very, very pro-pedophile in terms of the actual impact that their widespread adoption would have.
The latest offensive against morality, decency, and sanity in America has been launched by a pro-pedophilia group and several academics who openly advocate for the normalization and legalization of pedophilia.
Please keep your remarks less personal and stawman-ish in the future. Thanks.

On August 17 of this year, the pro-pedophilia group B4U-ACT sponsored an event in Baltimore attended by researchers, professors, mental health professionals, and "minor-attracted persons" (MAP, a euphemism for "adults who crave sex with children"). These individuals endorse the adult molestation of children, consider this sexual perversion as normal, and advocate for the declassification of pedophilia as a mental illness by the American Psychiatric Association (APA).
And why are the academics from these ivory-tower elite academic institutions all involved in it? What is this, some kind of conspiracy by child molesters to infiltrate social norms? Illuminati satanists? Or just cultural relativists losing touch with reality (and endangering millions of children!! )

A sexually free society will not necessarily subscribe to these beliefs. Even liberals are not always liberal with the sexuality...trust me on that one. I have a couple of ex's who will prove that point, and regarding the animals...
they are sort of programmed differently than we are. Some glitch along the way gave us all manner of forethought and intelligence they do not possess and we use that to set up a society that is in the eyes of a majority of us, ideal. It doesn't rely purely on instinct like animals but prudence and discretion are practiced and in grained. Otherwise you go back to the old days when siblings and children were not considered off limits within the family. Taboo? Yes but perfectly legal. We get better with age in many ways that are not immediately evident. Civilization is a work in progress. It is far from perfect. I am just catching on to the fact that pedophiles and child trafficking is as big a business as guns and drugs. I think a lot of us are.
It is after all beyond the bounds of imagination for most people. You do not consider these things happen if you are decent and ecpect that for the most part everyone else is too. There are those and like I said this is new information coming to light, the trafficking, Chinese Children vanishing in Sweden someone trying to snatch a bunch of Hatian children, the wide spread and advanced child trafficking rings working throughout Europe and Asia discovered in Turkey, our own Franklin Scandal. Children are sweet and sweeter still to some. Forget slaves when you can raise one of your own rather than oppress someone you can train them to be ..."what ever you want them to be" and when you are done with them...well if they never existed in the first place.
Along this same line, with pedophilia, there are those who don't go for children that are counting down to the age of legal sex. When you're willling to go that far, you're nearly in the same boat.

There is a thread "Are Homophobics Gay?" that says those who protest against gays are gay themselves.

I went to the B4U-ACT website and it seems that the aim of the organization is to get these people help BEFORE they molest someone. I in NO WAY condone anyone in any way shape or form having a sexual or romantic relationship with a child. I DO think, however, if someone is cognizant enough of the fact that they have a problem they need to have some way to get help, which it seems that this is what the organization does. I didn't see anything on their website that would indicate that they CONDONE this behavior but are only trying to provide an non-threatening avenue for this people to get the help they need. Don't we want these people to get help and NOT molest children? Or would we rather have them hiding in plain sight? That, to me, is a far scarier option.

Don't know if we are reincarnated but if we are I hope to god I'm allowed to remember not to have any kids in a future where this sort of thing might be normal.
Why don't you actually take the time to actually examine the points they are trying to make rather than label them all as "predators" and conclude everything they say is horrible?
You should see the list of "assertions" in the article...without quoting at length, examples include claims that pedophiles are "unfairly stigmatized," that sex is taken "too seriously" in Western culture, and "assuming children are unable to consent lends itself to criminalization and stigmatization." There are more in the article, see for yourself! They are all horrible like that!
