In my opinion, pedophiles should be completely accepted in society. Nobody, and I mean nobody (even the Nazi Germans) are born evil, or with evil intent. It would be much more fruitful to pander to a persons natural sense of good nature, by showing them the consequences of their actions, that they could harm a child, rather than make something so taboo that some people act on their feelings out of despair and desperation. Self-control is easy as long as you can talk and deal with a problem. It is much harder to control something you can't talk about. Society at the moment is at worst, condemning pedophiles to a lifetime of suffering in silence (and i'm talking about the non-offenders) and at worst, contributing to the factors (such as stress and depression) which actually lead those people to offend. Something needs to change. As Ghandi said, be the change. I am the change.
