IOW, they did not call for legalization.

Exactly.

The CNSNews.com article cited by BobL even contradicts his claim quite directly, pointing out that the American Psychiatric Association "calls the behavior 'criminal and immoral.'" Calling something "criminal" doesn't seem to indicate you want to "legalize" it.*

But that's okay...it's "close enough" ...

...and evidently the fact that it's not even the same organization is another distraction we should ignore.

Sorry, BobL...but you're the one I'm having trouble taking seriously.

*It sounds more like some of the members are debating the age-old point that "mental illness" is defined culturally--the schizophrenic in one culture is simply a shaman seeing visions in another. I think, though, that the mental illness aspect of pedophilia can be argued absent cultural norm questions.

LOL, when NAMBLA is having parties because of the way APA is moving, I have a problem with that. Anyway, they did the same thing with gays...and now look where we are.

Thanks.

Lashing out with lies against all perceived enemies won't help to counter pedophilia. That just makes anyone believing the lie look foolish. This is from an article linked in another thread, How a Free Society Can Protect Itself from Psychological Warfare :" If you can catch the propagandist in a lie, the principle falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus (false in one thing, false in all) discredits him."
