Ok, so these people are naturally attracted to children.
Should we make it so that it's ok for them to prey upon them? Should we accommodate them? How about a child escort service, so they can get their rocks off?

So the pedophiles being entirely sexually repressed their whole lives seems sad, but the children - whose lives are being turned upside down forever after being molested, raped (and often killed) by pedophiles - and their subsequent plight isn't?

Weigh it.

Personally - to answer your question - I couldn't give a fuck less "what they do," as long as it doesn't involve trying to lure peoples' children into bed with them.

It's interesting that everyone here who isn't "Rah, boo, shut the chat-room down" is outside the US

It's interesting that you don't take into account that the main voice of "Rah, boo, shut the chat-room down" (myself) is the only one here who (I believe) has a child.

I don't give a damn if I was in kuwait. I'm not going to just "be ok" with anything that makes it easier for 40 year old pedophiles to try to lure my daughter into bed with them.

This is odd.

And true, it seems.

Sure it may be wrong and most of them probably hate themselves for it.

So shun them further out of society? I don't know.

Seems somehow like it isn't going to help things.


I'm all for protecting children, my question is how society should treat a completely peaceful nice person [with no intentions of carrying out anything] who happens to be attracted to children.

That's not something I believe I'm prepared to answer. I will put the mental stability of a child over the sexual whimsy of an adult any day.

To me, the question is like asking "Well, what do we expect thugs who are addicted to money to do? Stop killing people and taking their stuff??" I say: Protect the innocent first. Those who are too inhumane to realize the consequences of their petty desires are putting themselves over those who don't deserve such imposition. Their selfishness makes them less and less worthy of my sympathy - especially when children are the victims.

Hell, I'm all for giving them access to child pornography, before actually letting them have contact with children.

And of those children that desire such things..?

That is different. Being addicted to money is something external of biology. You wouldn't use this analogy for a homosexual, would you?

And the question still remains; how do you help those that are attracted to them but don't act on it?

I really don't see them as a priority. Society has much more to work out (which will take an eternity) before we ever consider the special "needs" of the weird. They fend for themselves as we all must. Life is pain.

And of those children that "desire" committing homicide? There is only so much "desire" that is genetic. Most of it is indoctrinated. Why do we have age restrictions? Because the brain develops in stages. Children are not expected to fully know the consequences of their actions, or the alleged dangers of their interests.

If your 10 year old was dead set on leaving your home and traveling the world on her on, own the street, without yours or any other adult's guidance...would you just help pack her bags?

Kids don't always get what they want. Such is the basis of parenting.

As long as the relationship had to do with consenting adults, I couldn't care less. As I said, the problem comes when you put yourself before the well-being of others. Children that age are just not prepared for all the consequences that come with sexual activity...much less for that which comes from a "relationship" with a fully-developed adult. I do not see anything "wrong" with people being attracted to people of the same sex. Fundamentally, I don't see anything "wrong" with people being attracted to children. I do see something wrong with pedophiles foregoing the "attraction" stage and moving into the contact, courtship and potential sexual encounter stages.

I don't know, but you can bet that I'm going to help the children stay away from that sort of situation before I'm going to help the adult get a hold on their lust. One, to me, is far more important than the other.

Yeah.. this is an interesting compromise.. the question is obviously "How do you make the pornography?"....

It's no wonder why there are lot's of cases in which admitted pedophiles end up committing suicide..
