Is Pedophilia a Mental Disorder?

We now consider alcoholism a disease, but that hasn't made it legal to drive drunk. What is the issue here exactly?

I suspect that you're trying to equate homosexuality with pedophilia, the same way that others have equated it homosexuality with bestiality. The difference in both cases is the consent of both parties; it exists in homosexuality but does not in the so-called analogous examples. It's an important distinction.

Anyway, my point is we can see pedophiles as victims of their own genetic defects and still lock them away from children.

... goes, I don't hold that to be a disease. You can STOP being an alcoholic if yous top drinking. You CANNOT just stop having cancer. CANCER is a disease!

And, I am not equating homosexuality to anything. The only use I made of it was that we decided to accept it and take it off the mental disease list via a political campaign by homosexuals (even tho it is STILL a mental disease). We can do the same for pedophilia unless we watch it!

Pedophiles to be a much smaller voting bloc.

... a small joke there? I mean, they are interested in "smaller" kids so they are a "smaller" voting block?

You are right, of course. Not too many political parties will be much interested in courting the child molester vote.
