Does someone born with pedophilia deserve punishment/death?

[Jack]

Exactly. It isn't their own fault.

The difference between the Homosexual and the Pedophile ... is Harm.
A homosexual act isn't really 'harmful', but a Pedophile that preys on children (12 and under) is usually a 'harmful' act.

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

It's okay, I don't really care. I'm sick of all the pedophilia threads here lately.

 

[Matt Dillon]

Exactly. It isn't their own fault.

Who cares? Danger to society. Hang before they hurt a chillun or something.

What part of "Doesn't matter, danger to children" do you not get?

 

[Jack]

Who cares? Danger to society. Hang before they hurt a chillun or something.

The same reaction to Homosexuals for the last 2,000 years.

I know. Me too. I just get so tired of it.

Jack understood the point of my thread though.

 

[Matt Dillon]

The same reaction to Homosexuals for the last 2,000 years.

I wonder why that was? Hmm?

For 2000 years all people had the same reaction..Hmm..

"Preys" is the keyword. Nothing to do with being born with a sexual orientation.

A Deviant from the 'Norm'. Your reaction is a perfect reflection of the Intolerance shown by Society.

The difference is consent. One is a relationship, no matter how long or short, between two adults who agreed on it. The other involves a person not legally, emotionally, or psychologically able to give consent.

Yeah, well society was better off for 2000 years.

 

[Jack]

Well, I think the key word is 'child' (meaning 12 and under).

 

[AProudLefty]

I know.

Let me ask you a question: if they knew what Lewis Carroll was, would they burn his books and ban them?

 

[Matt Dillon]

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

No, and yes.

 

[Jack]

Yeah, well society was better off for 2000 years.

... unless you were the Homosexual getting stoned to death.

 

[Matt Dillon]

... unless you were the Homosexual getting stoned to death.

Well, society was still better off.

 

[Jack]

I know.

I'm not familiar with 'Lewis Carroll', so can't give you an intelligent answer.

He wrote "Alice in Wonderland". One of the premises of "The Matrix".

 

[Jack]

Well, society was still better off.

Do you Value the Individual? (this is something the person has no control over. And it usually concerns two consenting people)

 

[Jack]

He wrote "Alice in Wonderland". One of the premises of "The Matrix".

Oh, well. In that case, yes, he should be put to death.

 

[AProudLefty]

Oh, well. In that case, yes, he should be put to death.

Then we wouldn't have "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Matrix".
