Using your "logic", do you believe there are "serial" rapists or "serial" pedophiles? Do they have a mental illness as well?
You did not answer my question. BTW, most pedophiles are "serial" pedophiles based on your statement on "serial" murderers.
You're saying my argument is the following?? Serial murderers are mentally ill (as differentiated from the "one off" murderer). Therefore most pedophiles are serial pedophiles?
Most pedophiles have a compulsion/ obsession. Most have multiple victims (tens or hundreds). In your mind, do they have a mental illness?
Personally, I think as a society we're better off if we leave pedophilia as a criminal act, and punish and segregate the perps accordingly. Emphasizing the "illness" aspect, which is, logically speaking, debatable anyway, opens the door to excusing it. We're already wary of that problem with a lot of other types of crime.

You know this because you have a personal friendship with a majority of pedophiles in the US and have spoken in depth with each of them about their obsessions? --OR-- Because you've seen the few stories about pedophiles that make it into the popular media because they were so extreme in their obsession that bored journalists wrote about THEM instead of the Strawberry Festival in Middle-of-Nowhere, CA?
