When you have proof for your latter assertions then I might believe this but until then you are just fishing for evidence like most here - what suits you will accept and what doesn't you will reject. There is some evidence for some children to be more sexual than others (for reasons perhaps unknown) and that a significant portion of adults do have an attraction to children but that doesn't mean a majority.

In all fairness, I think what GL_in_lyrics meant was that there have been studies which have shown that a significant portion of adults can be attracted to children, depending on the individual child and the circumstances. This is not the same thing as saying that the majority of adults have a preference for pre-pubescents, or a regular attraction to them equal to what they generally feel for other adults. I just thought I would clarify that.

That is not my position but the opposite - which seems to be yours - is that anyone can claim to be a minority group and expect certain rights.

I would argue that no minority group should ever ask for special rights, but all should expect to receive equal rights to the majority, and for the law to apply to all equally. This should include being treated with a basic degree of human dignity and a willingness to understand.

If history was somehow amenable to verification I might well look to history but I don't have much "faith" in historical evidence - too many religions seem to rely on this, all of which I see as "inventions". We can speculate but it is difficult to know for sure - until that time machine arrives.

Yet not all historical records are so fragmented and incomplete, and knowledge of the past few centuries has generally been well preserved. Further, for everything we admittedly do not know about how people lived in ancient Greece due to all the records lost during that era, a remarkable amount of information does remain preserved. Please note the important fact that since film has existed for just over 100 years now, that PSA and documentary from decades past about homosexuality are clear and concise about how attitudes towards certain groups and certain types of sexuality change from one part of a century to the next. Assuming the values of the past 30 years were more or less exactly the same as they were in the Middle Ages makes much less sense than the supposition that they were likely very different, especially when we look at tomes written in that era, like the Bible. You will note the Bible is heavily politically influenced, and it has effectively nothing to say about what we today call pedophilia, yet much to say about how homosexuality was viewed then.

Many people like to believe that the values their present culture holds most dear were universal throughout human history, as this makes them more secure with those values, and more comforting for them to pretend that these particular views, unlike all others, will never be subject to change.
