I think it will hurt us in the long run.
As I have been trying to point out, it is only a matter of time before Pedophiles use the same arguments Homosexuals have used. If we as a society encourage homosexuality, what ground do we have to stand on in saying that wanting to have sex with children is wrong? Surely you believe that even if someone doesn't have sex with a child, their interest in it is not acceptable, even though the act of fantasizing is not hurting anyone.
Well, God help us if it ever comes to pass when pedophilia becomes accepted. Like I said before, though, pedophia is actually damaging to children, IT HURTS SOMEBODY, unlike homosexuality where I really see no victim. That's why I don't think that the ideological leap from homosexuality to pedophilia will ever occur. Especially with modern psychology where we know how much pedophilia adversely affects children.
What if they don't get to the point where they act out? Is it still acceptable to have those thoughts?
No, its not acceptable to have those thoughts. Pedophillic thoughts can possibly lead to you acting them out.
I'm not condoning persecution for thoughts either...like a Minority Reports thing(I didn't see the movie).
The point I'm trying to make is that the conditions are very similar. Yet we encourage one of the conditions and promote it as normal.
No it doesn't hurt anyone. But should it be on every MTV dating show and forced in front of us until we accept that it is okay?
Guys, watch what you say about gays on here eh....Nacho might be reading this
I hug out with a kid who was gay that I met through some friends. He was a nice kid, and funny to hang around. But you could definately tell that he wasn't all there, lik ethe wheel was spinning but the hamster was dead.
We shouldn't despise them, but there are definately some psychological issues there.
If the "if it doesn't hurt anybody then its ok" doctrine is wrong, then what will we base our laws on? Should we become a theocracy? Should we jail people for using God's name in vain? I'm pretty sure that America is based on religous freedom. Now don't get me mixed up with those people who want to take "God" out of the pledge of allegience and ban prayer in school, sporting events, and such, because this country was founded on the belief in God. But how you choose to worship should be left up to the individual. Hell, the entire Anglican church was founded because some English king wanted to have a divorce...
I really don't want to get caught up in a religious arguement here, but suffice it to say that I guess my religious views differ from yours.
Today's 13 year old's have tits. That messes me right up....
That said, the thought of doing one is morally wrong, that's just a social norm that we've carried on for a long time.
Now be honest here....how many times have you been driving down the street, look at a ridiculously hot chick, then realize that she's twelve-teen? Uh huh....you all know it's happened...
What separates the men from the pedophiles is that we'll say "ah ****" and they'll say "ah opportunity"
I think what these dateline folks are doing is priceless! It's not like they're going to nail innocent guys doing this....everyone they catch has been guilty right from the start
this is just my humble opinion, but generally I think that these guys are getting what they deserve, and I hope they spend lots of days in front of some horny lifer in prison...
