that would instantly incinerate any adult(17+) who has ever sexually molested a child(12 and under).

Define child molestation.

Are we talking an 18 year old having sex with a 17 year old? I have no problem with that.

Nope, too many possibilities for technicalities. Bad idea.

Killing them individually, yes.

To me it would also depend on wether the child in question was injured/killed or wether the act had been repeated.

If the answer to any of those is yes, I'd be sorely tempted to push it.

I don't know, but I would do it for anybody who WILL molest (with intent) a child in the future.

That would free up a few houses around where I live.

Who are the three fvcks that either molested a kid or know someone who did?

It's the "molest" part that needs to be defined.


For example is it molesting a kid if a medical Doctor performs a physical?

Probably not, but what if the doctor is sexually attracted to kids? Now is it considered molestation, if he gets off on it? If so, why the distinction? If not, why is it okay for him to do it but not someone who isn't a doctor?

Say it's some pervert daycare worker changing baby diapers. What if the worker is some kind of pervert that gets off on that, does he die? What if he doesn't actually touch the kid any different than other workers when they change the diapers?

What about "indirect" molestation, like a guy watching kiddy porn, the guy isn't molesting the kids directly but he creates the market that caused the kids to be molested.


Is it just intent? How can you ever really know the intent in every case? What if the pervert in question gets off through purely verbal molestation, would he still be killed just because he talked dirty to some kids? What if he thought about it but never acted on it? What if he thought he was talking dirty to a kid, but it was really someone acting as a kid for a sting operation?

What if you were the owener/editor of a legit porno magazine, and somehow someone put in some pictures of an 11 year old without your knowledge?

What if the button had a bug, like measuring a person age by the number of birthdays they had, then a 40 year old woman born on leap-year would still be treated as a 10 year old kid and anyone who ever had sex with her would be killed.

To many variables really, I wouldn't push the button.

You have to have physically touched someone to sexually molest them. Age is defined in standard earth years. Some of those people you described might deserve to be grouped in with these people but this button is for molestors only.

Lots of myopic knee-jerk reactions in here....


In other places around the world, the age of consent is as low as 9.

Perhaps it's just a case of our culture objecting to younger people having sex?

Also, bear in mind that in some areas on the planet, homosexuality is illegal and punishable by death. Less than 100 years ago, even in the UK homosexuality was seen as a sick disease and people were subjected to shock treatment in order to 'cure' them. These days, homosexuality is widely accepted by most western individuals. We know that it's their sexual preferance that they have little control over. How is this different to having a sexual preference for younger people, bearing in mind that in other parts of the world they could give consent at 12?

Don't get me wrong, I despise child abuse, but instead of everyone having a witch hunt for those evil peedos, lets take a step back and take a look at the bigger picture.
