in many ways,society (particulary Western) has become quite tolerant of many philosophies. I believe a philosophy is vile if it leads to the infringement of another person's freedom. It may seem patronising but I believe there is an obligation to protect the weak and defenseless. However I know there is a great deal of manipulation by the media of people's ideals for self enrichment. I certainly don't have the skills to consider all issues involved but I regard pedophilia as a particularly vile form of wickedness
