Society is Making Pedophilia Worse

[Cerus]

I stopped reading after the "boner detector" and the sole focus on men as if women can't be pedophiles. Cuz ya know - measuring a completely involuntary response in a males anatomy that can be triggered by ANYTHING is totally scientific. /sarcasm

[Realsykes]

Ah, got it. Was caught off seeing as how this is kind of a serious subject.

Yeah, but they do actually do their homework when it comes to writing articles which is what I like.

Not sure what to discuss, but here's my opinion on it:

- Not all pedophiles are child molesters.
- All pedophiles are possible child molesters, and should as such be kept out of any position that facilitates it.
- We need to figure out if faux child porn reduces or increases the risk of molesting.
- Pedophilia should be treated as a sexuality (i.e. not the fault of the individual) but not condoned.
- Treatment options should be available and free.
- Facilitating, ignoring or otherwise being involved in any form of child abuse should have harsh punishments (i.e. church leaders not reporting).

Nicely put. I agree.

I'm not entirely sure that's fair, unless we're also adding that any non-pedophile is also a possible child molester.


I can't disagree with the article. Telling a pedophile that they're evil and deserve to die doesn't encourage them to seek help.

Pedophiles are terrible. You people can try and sugar coat that all you want, but if you wanna fuck prepubescent kids (even if you don't act on it), you are a disturbed individual and I hope you die an early death.

And everyone who wants to fuck a woman is a rapist.

The not acting on it is kinda the difference.

It can't be just anything, any dude knows that. If you're sitting in a room and being subjected to certain stimuli, and you get one, well...

[endersblade]

you wishing death on random people is equally disturbing

Remember when you fed live mice to piranhas?

I've tried to argue basically every point in that cracked article half a dozen times on this site. People will never understand the difference between a child molester/predator and a pedophile. They are as different as a rapist and a heterosexual.

MMO-Champion is pretty dependable when it comes to victimizing paedophiles and their ilk; which is pretty easy to do when it isn't their kids on the receiving end of a paedophile's whims and fancies. Modern society as a whole seems to have a penchant for victimizing criminals nowadays, however; so it honestly shouldn't be that surprising. When you abandon, or actively seek to dismantle the concept of personal responsibility by continuous excuse-making and perpetually blaming others for what criminals do; then the consequences will reap themselves.

I've been labelled a paedophile before for arguing these points.

Someone who finds children attractive and thinks lewd thoughts but doesn't act upon them is no different to anyone who has the same thoughts about anyone/anything else. Are you automatically labelled a rapist because you find that woman at work incredibly attractive and want to knob her? It's exactly the same thing.

What goes on in someone's head cannot be changed, but as long as it stays in the head, where is the issue?

It's like you paid no mind to the article or the responses in the thread so far and went off on a tangent based on your feels just by reading the thread's title.

There is a difference between a pedophile, an individual who have an innate attraction to children, and a child molester, someone who is attracted to children and acts on their urges.

I'm a normal heterosexual man who is into women. My bizarro world equivalent would be a rapist. Loves women, will go to the far end of the spectrum to get my women. Get it? Not sure with all this victimization nonsense spawned. Again, probably just acting on your feels rather than reading a little.

Pedophilia is fucking disgusting, I get it some people can't help but be attracted to kids but it doesn't make it okay.

However if people who are pedophiles seek to get professional help I am all for society to help them in whatever way possible.

It's amazing how back in the 80s when I was a kid, our parents didn't track where we went, we didn't have "cell phones", or even pagers back then. We just told our parents "I'm going out" and we'd be gone for hours, our parents not knowing - or even really caring that much - where we were. Yet, apparently, no more of us were molested or killed than today.

Helicopters. Everywhere.

Also, it should be said that it's funny how these same helicopters who are, in theory, very concerned about their children don't have a single fucking clue about what the internet is and how it works, and what their kids are doing on the internet, or with their camera phones.

exactly this. well said.

[Revi]

I feel the same way about people that watch (and/or masturbate to) child porn or any of that Japanese cartoon kid porn shit.

Take it all in, guys.

Oh, I agree, it's pretty disturbing how people claim that masturbating to a drawn child isn't a big deal "because in the back story she's actually 25!".

paedos and child molestors are not the same thing, just like how someone with sociopathy and a murderer are not the same thing or someone with pyromania and someone who is an arsonist is not the same thing.

if someone rapes or molests a child then they are a horrible monster, just like someone who rapes an adult. but paedos are just people with a mental illness. they should recieve sympathy and treatment. mental illnesses that go untreated significantly increase the chance that the person might act on that illness

You can't measure an unknown response. If your married and get an erection at the sight of another woman naked does that mean you want to have sex with that woman? Or does it mean the idea of sex was just put into your head and your body acted accordingly? If you're swimming in the ocean and a fish swims past your genitals causing an erection does that mean you want to have sex with fish? See my point?

[DrStiglit]

By your logic we should also hope that all gay people die an early death as they are born with preferences that go against the "normal" way of things. They are attracted to children with no fault of their own...I feel for them as long they haven't touched a child.

There is no logic in your response. Homosexuality doesn't hurt others it just offends their "religion". So this is a terrible comparison. Unless the gay just happens to also be a pedophile, rapist or murderer.

if someone is masturbating or supporting child porn then they are raping and molesting children via proxy by supporting that buisness. they are just as bad as someone who rapes or molests a child in person.

children esque cartoons are harmless though, a drawing does not hurt any real children
