Really? You follow your every whim? You've never not brought that ice cream because you don't want to be fat, or never not brought that gram of coke because it's a poor choice of resources?

You're either void of passion or void of sense.

We are not responsible for what we want, we are responsible for what we do.
Fancying children is a sickness, shagging children is fucking evil.

but what about some of the other daily decisions based on that desire to buy ice cream. Maybe that desire made you feel fat and made you exercise just a little bit harder so you could feel better about getting that ice cream later. Maybe you started hanging out with hipsters and D.C. mayors so that buying a ton of coke wouldn't be all that unnecessary after all. Sharing is caring.

Your desires have to influence your life in so many different ways. I'd say damn near everything i do (school, work, exercise, fuckin everything) leads back to some desire of some sort. It's a necessary drive in life.

I bet the desire to diddle little kids rules quite a bit of these fool's lives. They probably bought houses near schools, directed classic films, wrote for fox news, put out multi platinum r&b albums, ran for the president of the united states, whatever...all just to get a little closer, even if they ultimately don't act on it.

Being a pedophile can be classed as an illness. It doesn't make you evil. Acting on it is a completely different story. It's sadistic, evil, and shows you have sunk to the lowest level of life with no morals or decency and would harm a child and destroy it's innocents for your own sick fantasies.

People can personally have an absolute moral revulsion to an act, but still be driven (biologically or psychologically) to do it.

People are twisted. Some more some less

surprisingly good level of rationality in this thread.

downloading this shit and buying this shit is just as evil. it's keeping the industry behind it alive.

What industry? Maybe I am naieve (sp?) but I was unaware that people actually purchase this kind of shit. I mean, really, is it legal to distribute anywhere?

Yeah I should have added that probably.
I meant taking any action that helps propagates those kinds of actions.

 

[Tyrone Slothrop]

there's seriously a sexual fetish for everything. there's even one i heard about called "lifting" where guys get off on seeing women get thrown into the air.

i don't really find the kiddie stuff disgusting as much as i do ... asinine and weird.

 

[speculawyer]

What drives someone to do this? To even have these thoughts? I can somewhat understand pedophiles who are attracted to teenagers in the realm of 13-14, as they at least resemble adults in terms of physiology. Can anyone explain to me how people become like this? Child trauma? Severe mental disorders?

I don't think we fully understand. My guess is that it would largely be random genetic changes that fuck them up and a few cases caused child trauma.

It is a pretty rare phenomenon but it gets a lot of attention because it is amazingly disgusting.

There are lots of other crazy phenomenon such as people that want their owns amputated and go to doctors asking to have a completely healthy limb amputated.

Of course it's not legal. Think of it like the drug trade or black market.

i saw a documentary about this. completely fucking bizzare. guy was jonesing to have his leg cut off but his family wasn't cool with it so i tried to hold off.

so then the guy goes on a cross country trip to meet with people who've done it and they're like "omg it was the most liberating thing in the world you have to do it" ... reality never ceases to amaze me

There is black market for this stuff... And it is legal to posses this stuff in some countries SICK !

Having studied behavioural science at university for 5 years, I can say for sure that I have no knowledge at all about how their minds work. stuburns statement sums up my feelings though.

 

[speculawyer]

Pedos in general, our society can't seem to find a good way to deal with. That said, its so hard to feel any sympathy for them. Even if they never act on it... thats not much of a life, but if they act on it... It makes me angry.

Indeed . . . the legal arena really struggles to deal with this issue. It is a general principal that we don't punish 'thought crime' and that after a person pays their debt to society (serves their prison sentence) they get to be freed.

But pedophilia is known to be nearly impossible to cure (other than chemical or real castration). And the crime is grotesque that people are (justly) horrified about the thought of these people getting out of jail and doing it again. Hence, we have a patchwork of attempted measures to deal with the problem. Sexual predator registration programs. Maps on the internet of released sexual predators. Mandatory hospitalization after a prison term. etc.

Yeah, I guess there is a teeny-tiny market in western nations (and a larger market for actual selling of human slaves in lesser developed countries) But I believe it is largely propagated in the west by people who share child porn pictures on the internet. So fortunately, it is not a big problem due to some pretty good police work.

Here is a cool case where some pedophile posted a heavily distorted image of himself on the net . . . interpol undistorted the image and was able to catch the guy using that image:

Kick-ass police work!

Well according to human rights watch it is multi-billion dollar business

i have no idea of how big that marked is exactly.. i hope it's small.. but it's probaby bigger than we think............

it blew my mind when i heard ther IS a marked for child porn and prostitution with kids that are just a few months old... baby's for god sake

and yeah, lol. i've seen that. they reversed the photoshop filter he used... idiot got nailed.

 

[Strike]

Be a 4chan poster.

 

[-COOLIO-]

innocence? maybe feeling superior? I have no fuckin idea, people are sick

pretty sure it's the innocence, the idea that they wont judge you or something along those lines.

i'd also put some stake in the whole forbidden allure. i think guys like to have sex with people they arent suppose to.

 

[Flo_Evans]

I probably don't want to know... but how the fuck do you even have sex with an infant?

Forget it. I am starting to think of things I'd rather not. WTF.

 

[speculawyer]

Well, world-wide I can see that . . . but that is often due to human slavery and child prostitution. But in the west those markets don't exist much. (Hence that guy going to Thailand.)

 

[speculawyer]

Another good case of a guy getting nailed was this Floridian prosecutor that got nailed in sting operation where he flew to another state thinking he was going to get to screw a (fictional) 5 year old girl. He assured the 'mother' (who was an undercover agent) that it would be fine for the girl since he would be gentle and that he'd done it before.

He later committed suicide while in jail. Good.
