I have compassion for every single human being on this planet. Keep in mind that does NOT mean that I agree or condone the activities we speak of. In no circumstance do
I do that. But yes, I do feel bad that someone would have these thoughts and have to act on them, stirring up so much trauma for everyone involved.

Coming from a background full of abuse myself, I know first hand the trouble it can bring. But, I can also understand that these situations have more than just the face value for issues.

YEs, it is a problem, and yes, it should be stopped. Again I didn't say anything about not agreeing with the program. I just wanted to open up a conversation about the other side of things.

And pedophaelia is a mental illness by the DSM! It has already been proven to be a mental illness so I am not sure there is any way to debate it, and I also think that if we are going to debate the issue we should be able to provide solid proof of why or why not it is a mental illness. I mean, if someone is psychopathic and kills, yes it is awful and horrible and must be stopped, but we also know they are sick and understand that.

here is the DSM definition.

The problem I have is this. If all we ever do is say "they are sick, there is no helping them, we should just shoot them/kill them/castrate them/lock them up" Then how can we ever possibly know if there is a cure or treatment? And I don't think it is fair to pull the "no room in the mental hospitals" card, because that is not the mentally ill's fault. That is something that society needs to take up or the government needs to take a look at, because it is simply an issue of providing the proper care to everyone that requires it. Why not form hospitals solely based on this horrible, horrible situation and have research doctors there to continually investigate them. The ones who agree to go there go to a hospital, the ones who do not, get locked up until such time as they agree to get help.

I realize that I have extremely strong veiws, and that these veiws may offend some. I also realize that some people may not understand what I am trying to say. Please understand that I am not condoning the action.
