It was as Am says. There are no laws, no governments, nor any cultures that condone the actions of pedophiles.
But of course, even as I wrote I was thinking about the concept of censorship and how here I was being an advocate for censoring someone's writings. But damn it, there has to be some sort of line to which we can not cross and still consider ourselves moral individuals.
What makes a human being human? (Not speaking biologically here either.)
To me, to qualify as human, one must act in a humane fashion. If one doesn't act in a humane fashion, should one be protected by the laws of society? Or is that what society is all about; i.e. the protection of any and all, regardless of their actions. Personally, I don't think so! I think we have to qualify as humans before we can receive humanity's gift of society.
