It would be unfair to homosexuals to say they are all pedophiles, because they are not. I have had a good number of homosexual friends and acquaintances over the years. I don't really approve of the lifestyle, but it's not my business to tell them what to do.

The statistics suggest that homosexuals are a small percentage of the population, but that homosexual pedophilia is a larger percentage of all cases of pedophilia.

Of course the statistics are only approximate, and can only be based on reported cases. And homosexuals like to pretend for political purposes that they are a larger percentage of the population than they actually are.

An excellent point!

When homosexual advocate X says that there are far more heterosexual pedophiles––even suggesting as some do that ALL pedophiles are heterosexual––they are engaging in double speak.

If (figures drawn from a different situation) 40% of an activity is drawn from just 20% of the population then it is actually the case that the activity in question happens at 160% (X*(100%-Y)/Y ... I think, it's been ages since I took that class) of the rate in the population at large.

Thus if only 20% of pedophiles were homosexual men the rate of pedophilia among homosexual men would be (.2*(1-.02)/.02) 98 times that of pedophilia among heterosexual men.

It's statements like this guy's about percentages of pedophile crimes that makes me want to bash him on the head with a rolling pin.

I think he believes that there are as many homosexuals as there are heterosexuals. Of course there are more cases of heterosexual pedophiles than homo ones. derrrr!

The problem is that people who read this sort of rubbish believe it.
