pedophilia

Well, some of them are, obviously. But that's a choice. Pedophilia is a condition. And it's a pretty horrible condition. We say that abstinence-only sex education is a mistake, because people just don't work that way. We say that requiring priests to be celibate causes more problems than it...

I'm a little surprised I haven't seen a thread on this yet. There's a conspiracy circulating that John Podesta, and by extension Hillary Clinton, is at the center of a pedophile network based in a DC pizza restaurant. This is the highest order of tinfoil hattery, the entire thing is balanced...

There used to be a man in my town who was convicted of child molestion. His victim wasn't raped just improperly touched. He spent ten years in prison for this crime and was released. He got a job painting cars and for ten years committed no crimes whatsoever. The state passed a law that...

NAMBLA. Does anyone give a crap about NAMBLA? Last time I checked that group was the fringe of the fringe, universally maligned by LGBT people across the planet. Now, speaking as someone who's a relative "insider" to the LGBT community (I'm a member of several LGBT groups in Omaha, donated...

Almost every day we hear about more pedophile Catholic priests and the vast conspiracy to protect them. This has not only damaged the church's reputation, but has led to many lawsuits with very large settlements that have damaged the church financially. The church also has an increasingly...

We all know about what's going on within the RCC. I'm now seeing people postulating that paedophiles have been exploiting the laxity of the church to allow them access to their desires. What's the answer then? We can all make a joke centered around the word "came" so let's not see any in...

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article7096149.ece Personally I think this is incorrect, The Vatican has already more than proven that there is a link between celibacy and paedophilia, I for one would like to know his sources :p

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8611279.stm I wonder if any effect from this kind of ... treatment ... actually stems from the fact that these people are being monitored ... and not that they are actually rehabilitated. I also wonder how they can be so convinced of the low re-offending...

From BBC News: What the HELL is the matter with these people? Is it their overriding desire to make a dreadful situation even worse if possible? Some of the high ranking members of the Catholic Church need to be brought back to earth with a severe bump. It's becoming sickening to watch them...

Damning, indeed..... More here:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8381119.stm

You read about it every week. Someone somewhere has improperly touched a child or worse. It would seem to me like the consequences are so severe that doing something this cruel and selfish would be a RARITY. I live in Conyers Ga and we have 60,000 people living here. Not eight weeks go by...

I was reading the newspaper about a man in my town who had gone to prison for molesting a child. He served 10 years for this crime and he is on a sex offender list. He has been out for ten years and is gainfully employed. He is married. Recently a law has been passed that says that child...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIt3x5Fb7-0 I'm shocked that I never saw this video before. Somehow this man is not in prison.

Link While there is cause to celebrate the fact that it was broken up, that this goes on at all (and is likely only one of many such operations) is so disheartening. :(

This is taken from another thread: Sexual predators, including pedophiles, having high re-offend rate is untrue, though it is often used to feed the moral panic concerning sexual predators. I'm currently looking for sources but thought I'd kickstart the discussion. Disclaimer: I am not a...

..for simply have sex with an underage boy who probably loved every minute of it? (Bill O'Reilly was talking about some of these women today...and how he disagreed and debated Geraldo Rivera on this subject) Isn't the idea of locking away pedophiles is that it has been determined that the child...

We had an interesting discussion not long ago about a pedo who was arrested for posessing faked pictures of naked children. This (and a recent TV cop show) leads me to another question. What do you think would be the moral an legal ramifications of sex robots that appear indistinguishable from a...

This has bugged me since I read about it. This really happened in the UK a few years back, but I don't have references. However, the facts are undisputed. This story goes like this. A guy was found by the police to have hardcore child pornography on his computer. He admitted that he did, and...

About six years ago, I was living with three other people. They all had one thing in common: they were all abused as children. The only difference was who the abuser was: one was abused by her older brother, another by his uncle, and another by her father. This last was the worst. Not just...
