Does someone born with pedophilia deserve punishment/death?

[AProudLefty]

Psychiatric terminology should convey information in as clear and unambiguous a manner as possible. In light of the associated stigma, that is especially so of the terms Pedophilia and Pedophilic Disorder. Although from a psychiatric perspective the term Pedophilia is intended to define a recognized clinical entity, in the collective consciousness of contemporary society, the term has become a demonizing pejorative.

Many in society are likely to equate Pedophilia with child molestation. They are not the same. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5)1 may be contributing inadvertently to the misconception that they are the same, for the following three reasons:

Should Homosexuals be condemned to death?

Sounds like a 12 B trap thread

They thought that before. See Alan Turing, a hero of WWII.

Quoting DSM is not a 12b trap.

I think the British attempted chemical castration ... and he committed suicide.

Just the same.

He was not seen as a hero of WWII because he was a faggot.

Do you think Lewis Carroll deserved punishment/death?

 

[Jack]

Just the same.

He was not seen as a hero of WWII because he was a faggot.

I saw a Movie about that. His homosexuality came out much later. Yeah. He was brilliant.

Oh hell yeah. He solved the Enigma problem. Essentially winning the naval battle for the British and the Allies.

Yeah. Won the War ... but sucked dicks.

Yeah. Won the War ... but sucked dicks.

You've brought up an interesting question.
If you are born a Homosexual ... or Pedophile, should you be killed or imprisoned?

 

[Matt Dillon]

Yes, Hang them all and keep the children safe.

Exactly. It isn't their own fault.

 

[AProudLefty]

If they knew about Lewis Carroll they'd burn his books.

My thoughts too. I'm surprised at Lefty.

 

[Jack]

Yes, Hang them all and keep the children safe.

In this 1930s film, the character of Peter Lorre argues this point. The setting is a dungeon looking chamber and the other Criminals are judging him. He argues that he was born like this and has no control over his actions, while they willingly made a conscious decision to steal, rob, and murder.

Why are you surprised? Explain. The thread was born from another thread. Ask Matt, Anonymoose and DU for explanation.
