then I don't think you should be locked awayNo. I'm saying that from time to time I wish someone would just go take a dirt nap and no longer be a bother to anyone.

This is where I think you're getting into wanting to punish thoughts instead of actions. It's OK to want something inappropriate. It is most definitely NOT OK to actually go out and get the inappropriate thing you desire.then I don't think you should be locked away
I view things like sexual attraction to be deeper than mere thoughts. Being gay or straight isn't just a thought. That's why things like gay conversation therapy don't work and are cruel. I'm not sure it's something that can be changed.This is where I think you're getting into wanting to punish thoughts instead of actions. It's OK to want something inappropriate.

You do not get to pick who you are attracted to. You either are or you aren't and something as stupid as eye colour can take someone from "yes, please" all the way to "eww, yuck, no thank you".I view things like sexual attraction to be deeper than mere thoughts.

Being pedo? I take back that they should be killed if they never acted on it, but they need to be kept away from children at all costs. And that may mean permanent residence in an institution. We don't need to mistreat them in there. But keep them out of society. It might not be their fault, and it might not seem fair. Maybe that seems extreme, but they are not safe to have around in society. It's more important to protect the children than to protect them.
Organizations that don't protect their children get out lasted by ones that do.I dunno. The left has been crystal clear on declaring they are coming to corrupt your children and trying to cut the parents out of raising their children wherever possible.
I don't think protecting children is a default thing for them.
Rather the opposite.
By that logic, you should be locked up as well, considering you just expressed a desire to kill people you found reprehensible; not necessarily because of anything they did, but because of the thoughts inside their heads. You later took it back of course, but can I really be expected to believe that you won't change your mind again later, or switch targets? Maybe you'll decided I need to die for the good of society, for one reason or another, and further that you'll take steps to ensure that I do.I view things like sexual attraction to be deeper than mere thoughts.

Of course we can; but can we also all agree that punishing people solely for the thoughts inside their heads is equally as bad? Because if not, I don't think there's any common ground to be had here; at least not from my perspective.ok can we all agree that having sex with children is a bad thing?
I mean that seems like a reasonable common ground position we can all agree on.
I kinda just get really mad about it and make sweeping statements without thinking it through.By that logic, you should be locked up as well, considering you just expressed a desire to kill people you found reprehensible; not necessarily because of anything they did, but because of the thoughts inside their heads.

No one here is arguing that sex with children is acceptable.ok can we all agree that having sex with children is a bad thing?
I mean that seems like a reasonable common ground position we can all agree on.

Execute all pedophiles whether they act on it or not. Firing squad it is.
They're unsafe to have in civil society.
Maybe this is a Controversial Take.
Is it possible to recognize Pedophilia as a mental disorder or dangerous paraphilia without ostracizing them from society?
KEEPING IN MIND, pedophilia is illegal, child porn is illegal, and you don't have to 'normalize' pedophilia as just another fetish and anyone who engages in such action should be punished for such heinous crimes.
But I think that there is a pretty big area between person who maybe have pedophilic attraction but has never done anything and exiling them from society/firing squad for having such indecent fantasies. And I'd rather have "closet" pedophiles getting therapy and medication if they need it instead of hiding. Having this kind of attraction is wrong and it should be recognized as being wrong. But that doesn't mean a person who has that attraction but has never acted on it and is otherwise just a normal member of civil society should have their humanity discounted.

I just... I... I'm not sure Cringe is sufficient to cover this. USA Today is carrying water for pedophiles now.
The complicated research behind pedophilia
Scientists who study the disorder say there is a growing consensus that pedophilia is determined in the womb.www.usatoday.com
USA Today actually did a lengthy Twitter thread trying to explain and normalize pedophilia but when they realized people weren't buying it, they deleted the entire thread. Fortunately some people saved pics.
Their self-professed expert is James Cantor, who is on record as saying that the LGBTQ+ community needs to have a P for pedophilia added to it, anything less is a betrayal of Gay principles, and he has a close association with people like Todd "Those who criticize pedophilia are the real monsters" Nickerson.
I completely approve of your logic here, but I want to take it one step further: I think that people with pedophilic inclinations who act on their urges in completely harmless ways, such as with child sex dolls, child sex robots, and cartoon/animated child porn, should be allowed to do this without getting shunned, ostracized, penalized, arrested, fired, or punished in any way.
So you have a huge problem here. It's one of normalization. If it's OK to enact the fantasy, you are normalizing that activity within the mind of the pedophile. From there it's just a single step to Lolita.
So no. This is not harmless or acceptable.
