I'm getting to believe that it's not your friend that's pedo. You seem to know lot about how a pedo feels.
Trying to justify being pedo is ok..


It's not ok..

It isn't ok and that is what I believe. I think it is sick and disgusting. I also think someone who finds themselves with those feelings is a sick and disgusting person and I don't want them to even exist. But, I don't want them punished unless they actually do something about those feelings. As human beings, we've developed a thought process and at least some of these people realize that the society they live in condemns this behavior and so will consciously abstain from acting on their impulses.

That would be like minority report x2 where they throw people in jail for even thinking about murder, not even the fact they are going to do something in the future.

Well, to be fair, I use to think that all homosexuals should be jailed until I had a few gay bosses, hung out with them more, traveled on business with them, etc. got to know their viewpoints and feelings. After becoming a friend, I was definitely better able to see life through their eyes and in their shoes. And now I am a lot more tolerant. I may not agree with all aspects of the lifestyle, but I can better see their point of view.

In other words, friends can and do offer a lot of insight.

enjoyable post, i agree.

More than 200 new images are also circulated daily, according to Maala, who pointed out the production and distribution of child pornographic images rakes in between 3 and 20 billion dollars (2.04 and 13.62 billion euros) a year.

Wait, each new image is worth between $41,000 and $273,000? Where in the world is that money coming from? Wouldn't it show up on some credit card statements somewhere?

The images aren't worth that much each. They make money on old images too.

But yes, that money does come from somewhere. I've heard of big sting operations where they got credit card information from tons of people at once who had been buying child porn. Don't know why anyone would be so stupid as to buy CP with their own personal credit card with their name on it, but some people are just dumb like that.

Worse part is, I could probably walk down to my nearest ACORN office and they'd give me instructions on how to import child sex slaves, how to make child porn, how to sell it, how to launder my profits, and how to evade the IRS.

Something like...

1) Child Porn
2) ACORN
3) PROFIT!!!

Agree with Beev here and some people are just being idiots (nick comes to mind)

I have to draw the comparison with gay people as well... How is it any different? "something" made them be attracted to their own sex, just like "something" makes pedos attracted to children

How is that their fault? How are they supposed to change it? As long as they are aware of what it means and dont actually act, its fine

This reminds me of Equilibrium the movie with christian bale.. IT seems alot of ATOTers would like to live in such a world devoid of human emotions, where thinking is forbidden

A murderer isnt a murderer until he kills someone, or else, 99% of the world would be in jail about that one time where they though of killing this really annoying dude they hate for whatever reason

Same for pedos

pedo's need to be shot

Hmm this is interesting. I'm pretty sure you're the one who was/is dating a 38(ish?) year old women, right?

I'm wondering what you think about that situation. When you were 10, she was 24, do you think there are implications there that may refer her to being a "pedophile", if not, why? And if the situation were reversed, you being 38 and her being 24, do you think that's an OK situation to be in and has no implication of pedophilia behavior?

I guess it depends on how you define a pedophile, and I generally agree with your statements, but it's the people doing that kind of shit to kids (IE creating the product) who really need to be shot. Not to say I don't hate extreme pedophiles either.

What sickens me is that one of the members is worshipped on the forums. He posts pictures every day and has a little fan base it seems.

I just don't have it in me to publicly call him out so I steer clear. But it makes me wonder how many kids on the site he talks to through PM's and IM's.

Or he could be in that small percentage that has actually turned their life around, so who am I to judge.

You're going to risk the safety of a child or children because 'you don't have it in you'? Really, that makes you sleep better at night?
I really hope you have a change of heart, you could do it 100% covert, and probably feel better. If he's not, so be it, but if he is... He needs to be put down.

The difference is two gay guys/gals are two consenting adults... You really cant see a difference with homosexuality and pedophilia?


I'm the idiot, right. :roll:

There is a difference between finding jailbait attractive, and finding pre-pubescent children attractive.

The latter need to be imprisoned.

Just for finding a kid attractive? While I think it's disgusting, I dont think anyone should be jailed for it.

I also think when a man thinks another man is attractive, is totally disgusting, but that doesnt mean I want to throw all gay men in jail.

Where would you draw the line?

What two consenting adults do is nobody's business, so I'm not sure how you are equating something legal that you find disgusting with something illegal that everyone should find disgusting.

It's not illegal to find a child attractive, and nor should it be. It's illegal to act on it in any way, as it should be.

Just like some people have violent impulses...as long as they control it, it's all good.
