Re: You misunderstood me.

We *are* suppressed. That is one of the key points. We are public enemy number one.

I am basing my argument off the fact that this is his orientation. You say otherwise, but there is really no other reason to believe that; as I said earlier anyone one of us would deny being a pedophile out of self preservation.

What I am trying to say is that just because you are incompletely different life situations does not make either of you better than the other. If you have this moral high ground that you are better than us, than this is the first thing you need to think about.

Put Jack aside. Anyone one of us could be in his position, that's why I can relate and use his place as an example. And think logically...who would hire him in today's climate?? How does he go about getting a job??

Jack has NOT hurt anyone even though his instincts scream otherwise. Would you be able to do the same if you were forbidden from ever touching a woman?

And again, Jack is not our spokesperson. Nobody ever gave him that role. He has fallen into it out of circumstance. I don't support his actions with websites and pictures, but I do offer him support to keep his spirits up, and I can sympathize with his position.

I don't expect people to suddenly say sex with children is ok. What I want is acceptance for what I am. We are suppressed by he fears society has created towards us. Fears that stem from falsified information and media hype.

In a perfect world, yes I would want to pursue a relationship with a girl as much as you would a woman. But I know this will never happen. All I can do is try to make things as good as they can for me and the rest of us. I have no idea how to do that, but it doesn't stop me from hoping.

I never had any intentions of protecting Jack, but it seems I have to. Innocent until proven guilty, remember. Until he *does* something incriminating he is innocent. YOu seem to be attacking him for speaking his thoughts, and last time I checked, thoughts are not a crime, only acting on thoughts is.

If you can put your hatred for him aside, we can start to have better conversations. Hatred is never the answer.
