I'm not saying the media can't or shouldn''t call them whatever they want to call them. I'm for freedom of the press, and I'm against censorship 100%. However, why is it used negatively? It isn't really insulting or bad to lust for something.

i understand what you're saying but it's irrelevant within the context of the initial issue. it's entirely justified for the media to state that a child was abducted by a pedophile if that happens to be the case.

Again, agreed. However, its an arbitrary detail. "Man robs candy store, he likes jelly bellies."

the ONLY way people find out who a pedophile is, happens AFTER they commit a crime against a child. again, how is that complicated? if the media is reporting that a pedophile abducted a child then it is not the first crime that person has committed. how else would they know they're dealing with a pedophile?

But why does it matter if the person is a pedophile? I have no problem hanging out with pedophiles, or even having a pedophile for president. What someone thinks about when they touch their parts is their own business and has no effect on the people around them. However, I'd never vote for a kidnapper. See the difference?
