idiots, pedophiles, imgur

People defending pedophiles now. Oh wait, but they're resisting their urges. That is makes it so much better.

What the fuck do people think?

Apparently there are two types of pedophiles: Ones with a general sexual attraction, and the other who preys on them either because they're sexually attracted or asserting some kind of sick power over someone who is weaker.

It is said that with the former there may be therapy to help them overcome their attraction. With the latter there may be more intense treatment or anger management that could help.

With the former: can you really change a person's sexual orientation? Has it worked with gay people? With heteros? What the fuck are they thinking? They will never be "rehabbed"?

With the latter: would you ever really trust someone in these circumstances? Presumably their therapy is result of some occurrence of violence because, lets be logical, we're not a proactive medical culture. "Oh you took anger management courses? What did you do?" How often do we really catch people BEFORE they act out?

Do those who are able to "resist" their urges deserve respect? That was the question... or statement.

What is respect:

respect:
*. deference to a right, privilege, privileged position, or someone or something considered to have certain rights or privileges; proper acceptance or courtesy; acknowledgment: respect for a suspect's right to counsel; to show respect for the flag; respect for the elderly.
*. the condition of being esteemed or honored:

Esteemed or honored? I don't know about that. My instinct is to say NO, as this serves no purpose in biology so anyone who follows an evolutionary thought process should recognize that THERE IS NO BENEFIT TO A SOCIETY/CULTURE/ANIMAL KINGDOM WHEN AN ADULT INDIVIDUAL HAS A SEXUAL ATTRACTION TO CHILDREN. Therefore, it should not be accepted as OK, Normal, Fine and Dandy!

Yes, the person should have legal rights, shouldn't have his house set ablaze or his person accosted in the street, etc. If this person is abiding by the law and living a life where he is not hurting children, either first hand or by supporting child pornography, then I see nothing wrong with showing them "respect". But you don't have these people living by schools, you don't want them living by you if you have children. They shouldn't have the right or psychological recommendation to. They are never to be trusted.

Where do we draw the fucking line? Does no one use their brains? Do you subject an alcoholic to living surrounded by booze? Do they have the right to live that way. Our society says "yeah", but I guess because they're only hurting themselves.

Can these people (pedophiles) help the way they were "made"? Who the hell knows. Does it matter at this point?

Someone actually told me my logic was fucked because I shouldn't discriminate against someone who is "resisting urges they cannot control". *-THEY CANNOT CONTROL* This is the heart of the matter. You will never rehab them (I don't believe it's worked yet.) and you should never trust them.

Another person used the argument for pedophile "respect" saying that if you feel otherwise then you also  shouldn't trust 'normal' people with an attraction to someone and shouldn't be allowed in the same room as them because you couldn't be trust to hold in those urges.  Again, are you fucking kidding me? Ok, lets put that pedophile in a room with some kid he was attracted to. He's there, resisting his emotions, resisting his urges.... as a parent if you knew what was in that person's heart (in their mind) what the fuck would you do? You'd take your kid right the fuck out of there. HOW can a person give this cockamamie argument?

This is not the same as an adult being attracted to another adult. But open it up further: What if the person who was being admired or lusted after knew how the other felt. It could potentially be incredibly uncomfortable for them, as well. Yet, when it's a child who is being lusted after, somehow, according these assholes on imgur, it's not so bad since the pedophile isn't acting on his urges. SMH, WTF, & FFS.

I just don't understand people sometimes. This is why I should not hang out online. =/ And this is why you should not watch Hollywood movies, which can glorify anything and distort reality to the point that people become right idiots.
