Tipsy random question tiiiime
Why do we Brits (well not me, I use the American spelling) put an "a" in pAedophile? What does this "a" do? It's not said "paydophile"

I do still vehemently insist on "Father Christmas" rather than "Santa Claus" though. Mostly because I think "Santa Claus" sounds unnatural and contrived in our accents.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

There is a general problem with going and telling people that your friend told you they are a paedophile: they can simply deny it. That leaves you in a very sticky situation. No (moral) authorities can take any action on hearsay either. Back underground they go. Remember people need understanding and emotional support, as well as professional help.
I can understand withdrawal from paedophiles. I'm rather confused at some of the unreserved hatred shown here for someone who hasn't been shown to have done anything wrong. Someone who is trying to avoid doing something wrong by coming to you for help.
Peon: How do you propose we offer treatment and then lock them up when they're all scared into silence?
I don't understand the use of the word "acceptable" here. Such people exist, and do not choose to be that way, unlike drug addicts. You seem to be assuming the paedophile in question is acting on their urges somehow.
Question to all: If you're a paedophile reading this, and you see people saying "I don't accept you", what are you meant to take away from that? You should go and kill yourself? You should exile yourself? I don't get it.

I respect that Peon. Thanks for taking the time to think it over. I think my answers would be the same as yours.
Indeed, no one is suggesting sexual activity with children is acceptable. I suspect it's what makes it such a hard condition to live with; chances are you're disgusted by your own desires. The desires won't automatically be accompanied by a change in morality. I'm addressing the attitude of society towards paedophiles in general. Unfortunately the general attitude seems to be one of hatred, which makes it much less likely anyone will come forward and get support. This outcome is counter productive.
As for necrophilia, again if it's not acted on it doesn't matter. And it's not something you can detect, turn off or cure. Personally I'd rather someone molested a dead body than a child. But I think any condition where the person can't help it deserves sympathy. As soon as they offend, the sympathy is lost but treatment should still be available. Not treating them doesn't make them disappear.
I don't understand the recurring theme here that they should be considered guilty until proven innocent. All I can say is put yourself in their place. You're already protecting your children, and they are probably already miserable. No need to put the boot in.

I believe that people who can't control their impulses at the expense of other people's wellbeing are indeed mentally troubled and need psychiatric treatment and oversight. That is, in some ways, the beginning and end of this debate, in my view. Why the fuck even discuss anything else?
