Those that made the videos of the children being tortured (and that is what those twisted fucks are doing to those children, they're torturing them) did so willingly and (undoubtedly gleefully) made the lives of those innocents a living hell. To say that they deserve any form of mercy is... Sickening. Do you truely believe that those that were put through an unwaking nightmare such as that, or any sane human being would want to know that those monsters that were performing, or those that pleasured themselves to the act, were allowed to walk free and live their lives unimpeded simply because they where, as you say, 'not in control of their actions?' A concept which is just bullshit, by the way.AndyFromMonday said:It is understandable that you would be angry at them since children are quite precious and abusing them in such a way is disgusting. However, they cannot help it. They have a mental disorder and the same way a schizophrenic person cannot look past their delusions those people can't look past their attraction towards children.mjc0961 said:Fuck their situation. Even if they didn't make it, they still used it rather than calling the police as soon as they found it so that less kids would be hurt in the future. I have no pity for these 72 people, my sympathies will be with the real victims of this (the children).
Do not be mistaken, I am all for punishing those who subject children to this form of abuse. However, those who watch it have no blame at all. They have a mental illness and they need help, not punishment. Punishment will not deter them from looking at child porn in the future and punishment will not deter them from pursuing those urges even further than just looking at videos.
I'm not saying they're victims, I'm saying they're mentally ill. They need professional help, someone who can teach them how to resist those urges. A person with a mental illness will do things that seem illogical to healthy individuals. Still, show some compassion. The sick people who abused those children deserve to be in some way rehabilitated or if not possible punished but those who watched the videos deserve to be helped. They did not think logically and neither did they act knowingly. Remember, they suffer from a mental illness. Their actions are not their own and cannot be considered their own.
They knew what they were doing when they trapped those children, they knew what they were doing when they were actively bringing harm to them, they were not controlled by 'something else,' to claim that they should get off because of 'urges' is just... Unrelentingly... I... I cannot even fathom a word to describe the... Primal... Rage such a concept instills within me. It is like claiming that a murderer should be allowed to be freed into society after a few weeks of 'rehibilitation' because they couldn't fight the 'urge' to do drive a knife into their neighbour's neck for refusing to lend them their lawn mower.
Everyone has urges, some less 'pure' than others, do you know what people do with those urges? They fight them, they resist and say 'no.' They don't allow a fucking chemical reaction in their mind to drive them to perform an inhuman act like rape or murder! Those that 'do' such as these beasts that molested these children are less than human for not only succumbing to one of these urges, but one that is so inhuman beyond belief.
Those that control themselves? Yes, help them, do everything within your power to aid those that realise how... 'Monsterous' is such an understatement... it would be to allow those urges to make them torture their fellow human beings in such a way.
...But the others?
Deliver swift, unrelenting justice for those that were wronged, anything else would be a grievous insult to those needlessly tortured children that suffered a form of Hell that no human being should ever have to experience, especially for the demented pleasure of an inhuman beast.
Evidently you are failing to understand that the majority of the ire here is being directed at paedophilic rapists, those that force themselves on children.6037084 said:The exact same thing could be said about gay people, and a while back gay people did get dedicated treatment, it just didn't help. I'm not saying it should be supported I'm just saying that pedophiles should be accepted as human beings not treated as the scum of the earth that should be thrown in jail for their entire lifeJonabob87 said:So you think we should allow people to support and/or encourage the creation of child pornography for the sake of their personal liberty? That is madness.6037084 said:snip.
Drawn stuff? Allowing people to wallow in their own mental illness, eventually that wont be enough and they'll move on.
These people need dedicated treatment.
Apart from that, being attracted to another consenting grown man in one thing, being attracted to an innocent child, and viewing child pornography (which directly and whole-heartedly promotes the sexual abuse of children) is something else entirely.
