We're all glib about pedophiles!
Apparently, anyone grossed out by the secret is an idiot who knows nothing of history!
But st_fred points out that it's not that gross because:
and hey, florists like flowers, vets like animals :)

And then we have quiteparadise and pali who think it's "bullshit" to be grossed out because they might not be an actual pedophile!
quiteparadise:
You work under the assumption that every pedophile is a child molester. They're not. A pedophile is someone who is sexually attracted to children. This does not mean that they would ever do anything to hurt a child.
pali:
In many cultures throughout human history, children have been sexually active. In Rome, for instance, it was customary for boys to be partnered with an adult man for a time. It was traditional, and considered a right of passage. Perverted by today's Western standards, yes, but were all these men evil and deserving of being locked up for it? I would say no. Get some education, widen your view of the world a bit... not everybody thinks like you, not by a long shot, especially when it comes to sex.
