Pedophiles: Sick or Evil?

Most everyone who are not pedophiles revile pedophiles, but for what reason do you shudder at such a practice?

Do you think pedophiles are sick and in need of either psychological counseling, drug therapy or both whilst being quarantined from children?

OR

Do you believe pedophiles are "evil", overrun by "Satan" or "demons" and needed to be warehoused in prisons ONLY or perhaps EXECUTED?

It's your opinion. So feel free to be honest.

I think it is a little of both. Some of um are just sick, you know maybe they were ritualy raped (molested) as a child and now their brain just thinks normal sexual activity is between adult and child.

But there are some sick ohs who just get off on the whole forbiden part of it, or they like the heplessness of their victim, or they are just sexual predators looking to take easy prey.

All the fuck jobs need help though. What ever help they can get.

Sick or evil, either way if somebody touches my son he won't make it to the courthouse steps. That's a promise.

Oh I forgot to mention that I consider murder in some cases "Help"

It doesn't matter whether they are sick or evil. They must be stopped from harming children. Why they want to harm kids is secondary to stopping them.

But if we understand their motivation, we can stop them better

Perhaps, but we must protect the kids even if we are wrong about why the pedophiles do what they do. Protection schemes based on the presumed motivation must include the possibility that those presumptions are wrong.


OK, I'll vote BOTH.

I didn't read the poll questions.

Why castrated and tourture anyone to death, even those possessed by Satan?
Isn't a quick painless death better for the exicutioner?

To put it another way, do you want your neighbor to be a liscenced torturer?

Society may need to be stern, but should be less cruel than transgressors.

I agree with the progressive methods myself.

The trouble is that not everyone accused of pedophilia is guilty.
It's a word that tends to creep up in divorce/custody issues....

but if we're talking about someone caught trying to seduce a 6yr old or something, then yeah, kill him.

That is such a tough and complicated argument - You can fall in so many holes and if you take the progressive point of view, you'll probably be labelled an idiot by many.

Interesting question: Could pedophilia be mainly a result of a collapsed and dysfunctional society? In other words:

Pedophilia is NOT a natural phenomenon, and on a small scale society as a whole needs to take some responsibility?
