It seems there may be some who have such urges, I think Savages point is that those who have these urges, and thus are technically "pedophiles", but who DONT give into the urges, and stay away from kids, are "good" ones.

I agree with the statement.

He says a “good” pedophile is one who NEVER acts upon his sexual inclination.

Much as a “good” kleptomaniac would be one with the pathological impulse to steal - but does not.

As a Christian I find it hard to recommend suicide - but to those with that sort of impulse (and I don’t mean kleptomania) - I am tempted.

The only good pedophiles are the ones horrified by their fantasies to never carry it out and they keep themselves away from being tempted.

Let me start by saing I think Dan Savage is a vile bully. However, if you read the article, I think that is what he is saying. The "good pedophile" is the one who never acts on his urges and keeps himself out of situations with kids. Savage buys into the idea that the sex drive to like children is some type of chemical or physiological imbalance and not a choice. And that this imbalance can be treated and dealt with by not putting oneself in the wrong situations (like babysitting kids).

The irony of ironies is that the same can be said of homosexuality -- that it is some type of physiological imbalance that can be treated and dealt with by not putting oneself in tempting situations. Of course, Savage would never give that advice to a gay man because homosexuality is "natural". Then why is he giving it to a pedophile?

There’s a reason Hitler knowingly allowed gays in the ranks of the SA during his rise to power....a gay in position of authority is more ruthless than even their heterosexual counterparts....of course Hitler knew once he achieved power they would be a thorn in his side, so he had them done away with in “The Night of the Long Knives.”

No, what Savage is doing is redefining the arguement. He’s getting you to accept that not all sexual sins are bad. For example, accepting that a man may be a pedophile but if he’s not acting on it, he’s good.

It’s a thin edge of the wedge. The moment it becomes acceptable to fantasize, it’s a small step to reality.

Perhaps having pictures of children being abused is all right, because the act was done and you can’t do anything about that. But because you “only” have pictures, you’re keeping yourself from actually harming children.

Then it won’t be but a small step from just having pictures to lightly molesting them, because there’s no actual penetration or something.

Eventually, no limits on what you can do with kids will become the norm.

This is why, even traces of, pedophilia should not be tolerated and should be subject to the fullest punishment of the law.

Pedophile, homophobe, these are medical terms politicized... it’s garbage. What now? Pedophileophobes?

These people hate children because they require a type of respect and charity they do not want to undertake or be tested by.

Many thieves and taxers want to appear like they do it for the children, yet they hate the children they have to prove they must care for. THus laws are being relaxed for the corruption of the government.

This is totally unconstitutional imbalance of power, of course, and self destructive.

There are no doubt folks who have urges but control them, no matter what they are, homosexuality, group sex, animal sex, and even pedophilia. By controlling their urges they show that human beings are not merely animals ruled by their urges. Every man or woman who’s had an opportunity to cheat with someone they found attractive has showed they can control their biological urges, this however is completely counter to the leftist agenda.

I have no doubt there are people out there with urges, all kinds, that never act on them and willfully avoid situations that will place them in undo situations. Irrespective of what those urges may be. The left doesn’t want personal restraint or accountability to be in play because it puts the lie to their world view.

I am no fan of Dan Savage, he’s a gay activist nutjob who coined the term “manogamish” for crying out loud, however, the general premise there are people in this world with sick urges who do not act on them, is I believe an accurate one.

Agreed. If you see your wife in bed with another man, you may have the urge to kill them but you don't. If you see a cute woman in the store, you don't run over and rape her. If you see someone drop their wallet, you give it back to them rather than taking the money. People have all kinds of urges to do the wrong thing but the process of becoming civilized is learning to control those urges.

This article, written by Dan Savage, brings to mind a gay man having sex with a young boy and people -- rightfully -- have a very negative reaction to that. But pedophilia also is an adult man like Jerry Lee Lewis marrying a 14 year old girl. Or popular songs from the 60s and 70s where an adult singer sang about bedding a 16 year old girl. Or how many times do we have a thread here about a 30-something, cute, female teacher bedding one of her teenage students? Everyone thinks that is hilarious and wishes that they had teachers like that. Guess what? That teacher is a pedophile.

Everyone needs to control their urges to do wrong things. Mere thought is not a crime if the person does not act on their urges. But if they do, and it something as bad as pedophilia, then society should punish them harshly.

Where does Savage go to speak next? We should keep track of this pedophile-apologist’s activities in Obama’s Public Schools.

I wonder what his reaction would be if someone gave a speech talking about acknowledging the existence of good homphobes. I suspect it’d be rather...colorful.

and right there he has shown what the ultimate goal is of the homosexual agenda and we still have ignorant dopes on our side not caring about social issues or saying”I know some and they’re nice “ or” I don’t care who marries who”
the fraud named Hannity said this too.

So for any dopes on our side who have the couldn’t careless attitude to their agenda then wake the hell up and stop supporting their ultimate goal and yes letting them marry is helping them

just said the same.

The ultimate goal for the homosexuals is to have sex with little boys and sadly we have dopes and fools on our side who say they couldn’t careless about homo’s marrying or they could’t careless about social issues.

That’s bad news waiting to happen there. I’m libertarian on a lot of matters, but I do not support gay adoption, especially of boys - at all.
