No, I don't think they should ever be accepted. They ruin people lives!

How does the sexual attraction to children ruin lives?

You took this the wrong way Chaos.

Their actions ruin peoples lives, not the attraction.

You're assuming that all pedophiles are child molesters.

Who is assuming that? No one said anything about children.

LOL. You're assuming that! Did you not say that pedophiles ruin lives because of their actions? I'm just letting you know that not all pedophiles are child molesters. (pedophiles who have acted on their urges)

So you're telling me something positive comes from pedophiles? If so, can you please list them & explain your reasons.

Nothing positive or negative comes from pedophiles. It's a sexual preference. Nothing positive comes from being homosexual either, yet they deserve my respect and I wouldn't treat them any different.

In fact a lot of pedophiles seek treatment, because they know their preference isn't right and want to be normal. We can't assume they are all monsters because of their "mental illness". I use that loosely because I'm not positive if it's considered a mental illness.

Wait, so say you had a daughter when you grew up. Say she was raped by a pedophile. You would say I forgive him. Set him free?

Also it is not a sexual preference. Pedophiles will go after whatever they can catch first.

Okay, say I have a legal daughter when I get older. She is raped by a straight man who can't control his urges. I'd have no mercy for him or the pedophile. Doesn't matter who did it.

It is a sexual preference by definition. Again, you're confusing a child molester with a pedophile. Whether or not child molesters should be accepted into society would be a whole other discussion. Which would probably include rapists in general.
