HQ is it really acceptable ....

Just checked it was Jerry Lee Lewis. Married his 13 year old cousin.

Sadly all the 'paedophiles' I worked with were abused as children themselves.
I suspect its human (male) nature to find young women attractive but for most, fortunately, the lower age limit is strictly adhered to. It's 16 here but lower and higher elsewhere.
I'm trying to remember if it was Chuck Berry that was married to a 13 year old.

Ananimous - so, current affairs, chat, health even but Site Matters is meant to be about, well, site matters and all things technical to do with GN

Pop a virus on their PC

I don't think you can put all murderers under the same umbrella.

I would have no idea how to put any kind of virus on anyone's computer.

MawbHow on earth does this come under the umbrella of “Site Stuff” ?

Ans: Free speech.

I think it's always good to put it out there to paedos that we can track them down.

Do not let them try to give the old flannel about "poor me I have a differently wired brain" - so do murderers.

Zero tolerance to paedophiles.

I think someone posted something unexpected and then I replied! Sorry about that. Hopefully that will be the end of it.

This is a very weird changeable thread. I do not mind the joking about, but the last posts about paedophilia are strange, especially given how the thread started.

How on earth does this come under the umbrella of “Site Stuff” ?

For goodness sake, what a load of crap. If you don't like what is being posted stop reading it. Simple. I am sure that good old Harry and Megs can look after themselves.

People who watch childporn are as bad as people who watch snuff movies.

The paedo mind is like a murderer's.

Should we also congratulate murderers for abstaining from their affliction??

I flag them up whenever I find them online...
Pop a virus on their PC that sends a signal to child protection.

I'm confused too.
Anyway, too awful a subject now, so I'm out too.

I’ve lost track and derailed it - sorry . I’m stepping away now.

I'm confused about this thread.

Is it about randy Andy (The Queen's Golden Child) staying 4 days with a convicted paedo, and nearly bringing down the monarchy with a shabby TV appearance?...

...Or about the gal whose gonna take down the monarchy with her shabby TV appearance...

I honestly don’t care - I have no sympathy whatsoever. I hope he gets the help he needs but he had sexual thoughts about children and that revolts and angers me. I’ll save my concern for children who are affected and the adults that have to live with what happened to them as youngsters.

He didn't and hadn't, and had no intention of abusing though.

I don’t know anything about that man but I do know that many paedophiles view child porn and think they’re not doing anything wrong.

I have zero sympathy for child abusers - absolutely none.

The only person I know who is attracted to children was the man on the TV programme who talked about it, and a very unhappy soul he was. I can't see how you can define a person as being good or bad because of the way their brain is wired, because that is not something they can control. It's their actions they can control. How do you know this person viewed children online? He was struggling to live with his condition and said that more help was needed for people like him. I feel as a society more should be done to 'treat' people like that. It will save a whole world of heartache and suffering if answers can be found.

I disagree obviously Chestnut and if you or anyone else knows someone who has sexual fantasies that involve children then I’d strongly encourage you to suggest they seek help.

Good people are not people who keep their urges to have sex with children under control (how? By viewing it online in the belief they’re not physically touching so it’s ok?) - good people don’t have them in the first place.

The beginning of the thread covered the subject of calling "someone" a paedophile when there has been no arrest, no conviction and so on..

Actually, I would say being a paedophile isn't a crime. Acting on it, is.

I wondered about the choice of subject, but it is an interesting topic. You never know where these threads will go.....

That's not necessarily true SirChenjin. There are people as Alexa says who keep their urges under control because they know they're wrong and illegal and hurtful. They are not bad people, but they cannot help their feelings. It's the ones who act on these feelings (the majority I imagine) who are bad people if they don't care who they hurt as long as they get what they want. The way you're wired is not something you can control. I believe the 'good' paedophiles lead a very anguished life (I saw a TV programme about them) as they don't want to be like that and are often desperate for treatment. Obviously they don't get a lot of sympathy. This is something that needs a lot more medical resources.

@Alexa What on earth are you on about? Are you posting on the wrong thread??

Alexa - what on Earth are you talking about?
Or as they say in the vernacular - WTF?
