I don't think anybody stated that child moslestation is okay.
In fact, the point of the article (and the ensuing discussion) is quite the opposite.
What 'mr +5 anonymous child molesting coward' (which is a terrible label by the way, the guy plainly stated that molesting a child is not acceptable to him) and the others are saying is that we live in the real world, and in the real world people are born with these impulses. Regardless of how disgusting we view these acts to be, regardless of how destructive they are to those involved, regardless of of historical precendents, these people exist and they have to deal with the repulsive thoughts that constantly invade their brain. It's no different than the people who are born with violent impulses, or those that are born with musical impulses, or those that are born with homosexual impulses, or those that are born with the impulse to use that shiny box with the keyboard and mouse:) When you come into this world, you're given the good AND the bad impulses. Unfortunately these people are stuck with something bad, very bad.
Now it's up to them to get the required treatment and learn how to control and hopefully quell these destructive impulses so that they can be happy, functioning members of society like the rest of us.
To simply write them off as 'scum' or the black side of a black and white issue is reckless and only serves to further weaken a society that already fanatically seeks to identify and eliminate "the other"
No reason to go off the handle, NO___ONE is saying it's okay to molest a child.
