My opinion is only ever more valid than yours in medical circles, academia or a court of law, otherwise all opinions are the same. If enough of the public made such an outcry as you are making, any intelligent government would throw all credible knowledge out of the window and change the laws accordingly. It is how democracy works and governments know what it takes to be elected, votes.
So you are now arguing that your education should trump the democratic process, placing you in power (by virtue of your vast knowledge)? I'll pass on your form of utopia.
Let us follow your logic down the line a bit. A paedophile molests a child. They are caught and held accountable for that crime. You come along and decide to rape the peadophile or have somebody else do it in your place, so now you and possibly another person get charged with rape and are held responsible for your crime.
For the fourth or fifth time in this thread - I am not advocating that the pedophile be raped - by myself or anyone else. I am saying that while the pedophile is in prison, if another inmate decides to do so, I have no qualms about that, nor do I care. With that very impressive education of yours, try to follow along. Try to keep up, so that I don't have to put five more posts up, explaining that I do not advocate raping the pedophile. I also don't care if another inmate kills the pedophile. That does NOT mean that I am advocating the death penalty, but I'm sure you'll be able to misconstrue that position as well.
At some stage, sanity must prevail ...
Hell, I'd be tickled to death if that PhD in psychoanalysis that you hold would prevail long enough for you to quit mischaracterizing my position.
and it does, this is why we have a legal system run by professional people. When you have a law which breaks the law, you may as well have no law at all. The main reason why decent countries abolished the death penalty, for they understood, this just made them a murderer and broke their own laws.
... and yet, we still have the death penalty. I know this tears at the very fiber of your soul, but there are other people out there that disagree with you. That doesn't automatically make them "wrong", and it probably isn't going to change any time soon.
Yes, I get that. Don't you get it, every decent person on the face of the planet would think like you, even if it were for a fleeting second or a thought held in the back of their mind. They would know, though they would not act upon this thought. They would get over the position of temporary insantity and resume more rational thought.
Ah, now we get down to it. If someone agrees with your position, then they are "decent" and "sane". If someone disagrees with you, then they are (by definition) "barbaric", "insane", and "indecent".
So we should just shoot everbody who breaks the law? The speeding driver who has no thought or respect for the law who puts childrens lives at danger everytime they break the law, the people who leave little children near brain dead, crippled and paralysed? These people are no better than paedophiles.
A fine strawman, and excellent use of hyperbole. Totally pointless, and a waste of bandwidth, but a fine rant either way.
What about the parent who would raise a hand or more to children. Scum of the earth, their abuse leaves children just as mentally and physically damaged as the act of paedophilla, so we should just shoot every abusive parent.
You are off on a tangent, and debating very irrationally. Calm down, take a deep breath, read the fine print on the sheepskin you have hanging on your wall, and reflect on your quieter times. Go to your happy place. Touch yourself, if it will help. Do whatever it takes, but try to come back to the issue at hand.
Personally I don't think you do appreciate the efforts of mental health.
... and I don't think you appreciate the pain that is suffered at the hands of these people. If you wish to speak for me, then I'm sure you won't mind my speaking for you.
In order to understand why, something is happening in society, paedophiles must be treated and our knowledge of them increased. By doing this, hopefully we will be able to abolish this hiddeous crime from society. Failure to find the cause of this problem, will just see the problem repeated, time and time again, as the same elements in society (environment) create the next paedophile.
Excellent. When you get a confirmed cure, and you can prove that it will prevent pedophilia, let me know. We can use it to eradicate the condition. Until then, I have no intention of giving these scumbags a "timeout" as punishment for one of the top three or four most heinous crimes a person can commit.
Many paedophiles are victims of sexual abuse themselves. So when and how exactly do you determine when the sexually abused victim, should loose your sympathy, compassion and your support, where instead of receiving your empathy they receive your abuse?
Sweet. I like the way you took a person that is doing monstrously bad things to kids, and in two short sentences, turned them into a victim. Smooth.
Then you must also hold the same view, to every crime which leaves a child in the same traumatised state, or those even worse? Like speeding and drink driving?
Are we going to go through the legal punishments for every crime you can think of, or are we going to stay on the topic at hand? I realize that since you are in denial about the severity of the crime, you want to change the topic. Unfortunately for you, that isn't going to happen.
