Possibly true, DS. I suppose it's true that no one chooses their sexuality, and therefore pedophiles are no exception. Still, the reaction is understandable. My philosophy is that if someone isn't hurting anyone else than what they do is none of my business at all. Obviously, "practicing" pedophiles hurt other people (children) quite badly, so I have no problems hating them. If they aren't acting on their urges, I guess I shouldn't care.
Oh, and I think deltaguman meant 'innocence'.
