Paedophiles - do you sympathise with them?

alcomoholic

obviously what they do is pretty low brow and whatnot, but surely it's just a sexual orientation like any other? whilst we feel sorry for their victims, surely we must also feel sympathy for they themselves who live in a society that deems their sexual preferences to be deviant.

Animals cant control their sexual desires,humans can.

Pedophiles are animals,end of story.

i just kinda feel sorry that they're turned on by kids, NOT that society deems it unacceptable.

They are disgusting individuals.They do disgusting things to children who are innocent.They should be ashamed of themselves and should be locked up for life.

MagicMarker

I feel sorry for them, I'm sure they don't want to feel how they do. But I stop feeling sorry for them if/when they decide to act on their urges.

minidazzler

Depends, a peadophile is simply someone attracted to children, something which can't be helped, I would feel sorry for those who feel the attraction but don't act. I would not feel sorry for one who does act.

an interesting topic.

I imagine that if you asked this question 30-50 Years ago about Homosexuals much of the same argument would be rehashed.

You don't have to abuse children to be a pedophile, pedophilia is just a sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children.

I'm sure there are countless more pedophiles out there who've never touched a child in that way.

AgileMyth

Those who act on their urges deserve no sympathy.
There must be some out there who are that way inclined but would never act on it though and thats pretty shit for them.

lol_mark_aments

is there anything you want to own up to? looking for a debate out of this is sheer and utter nonsense. You seem to put society as the bad guys in a scenario like this, talk to a victim of this crime and tell me you should sympathise with the paedophiles.

Norma_Desmond

How could somebody feel sorry for an adult that takes advantage of a helpless child?
They are sick, sick people and they should be put on an island far away never to return to cause pain to a child or family again!

They are fúcking animals and should be castrated and locked up for life.

sorry, but no. what two consenting adults do together is one thing, when one adult abuses a child it's another.

You think some who is sexually attracted to children but has never acted on it should go to prison?

The Left Hand Of God

I don't really care what peoples sexual orientations are.

I don't have time for anyone who is capable of rape or murder for their sexual pleasure or some gratification of whatever nature. Even the use of porn materials that might have involved either of the above.

No point in worrying about people who are not actually doing "anything"

Not valid to compare the two.Homosexuals are consenting adults,Paedophiles are just scum and should be branded on the forehead so we can all see them in the open.

7sr2z3fely84g5

wiki states it as an psychiatric disorder,but the offenders are not always dirty old men,there have been cases where the offenders where teens.

Fluorescence

A paedophile isn't necessarily someone who rapes kids - paedophilia just means they're turned on by kids. They can't help it. They don't have to act on those urges and I'm sure there's more people than you'd think out there who feel this way. It's just we only ever hear about the abusers.

paedophiles are rapists . homosexuals in consenting relationships are not.

I disagree, it is not a sexual orientation, they are seriously ill, and although their illness is not contagious, they should be Quarantined for the good of the community.

well thats the thing aint it, its only a recent problem as we've only recently decided that Children should be protected, as opposed to the old days when they were married off as young as 9,

So Paedophilia was rather mainstreamat one stage
Now its swung to the opposite end of the Spectrum

Will there ever be an accomodation in a middle ground???????

as for your kneejerk emotive response, many many people said that about and even DID that to Homosexuals not too long ago.

Homosexual acts between consenting adults were still Crimes in this country In my Lifetime.

Micky Dolenz

No doubt there are countless people in the world that find children sexually attractive. It may be distasteful that they fantasize about children, but as long as they didn't act on their desires I wouldn't be calling for their heads.

I once watched a documentary on the subject where a few of them were in treatment, they had never offended. One described it as a feeling a "normal" man gets when looking at an attractive woman, an instinct, difficult to suppress it as it was an instant automatic thought.

jive

Made a thread about this in after hours before but Mickey Dolenz doesn't like me because I'm awesomer than him so it was locked.

Posted it in Humanities instead, it got really long though but still one of the more interesting threads if I do say so myself! http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056249576

There's a differentiation between being a paedophile and acting on one's paedophilic tendencies. I don't sympathise with those who act on their urges. Obviously.

no

It's cool I'm done posting in this thread didn't come in to derail the thread anyway.

Probably will get a ban (probably another one from micky dolenz no less) but what can you do, it's a mild inconvenience at worst. A simple log out would mean I could view the forum again anyway. Anyway the thread on humanities is good if anyone wants to read it, some knowledgeable people weighed in on the subject big tiiiime

I read that thread and there is some ignorance in it, i know loads of lads who fancy 15yr old girls but would not act upon it for legal reasons etc, based on lots of what people are saying there they should be kept away from society even though they dont act upon there fancying the girls, much like i might like to take clthes from a shop but don't, does not make 1 a robber!!
