Is 'liking children' wrong, if you don't harm kids?

Now, I've already had this run-in with Chumly, so I'll leave everyone else to it.

Or, you can ignore it. That's actually my advice as my previous attempts went absolutely nowhere.

OK, Bill. For someone only checking in sporadically (me), the not-serious vitriol was hard to separate from the serious vitriol.

You seem to be misunderstanding what dlowan was saying, Hokie.

Not "if you're abused, you'll become a pedophile."

but

"many people who are pedophiles were themselves abused."

Even among sex offenders against minors, only a minority experienced childhood sexual contact with an adult.

Didn't know you were waiting for a specific answer Kick. I thought my other responses answered your questions…

A) Go to a counselling center, police station, psych ward, hospital or other such facility and seek professional help for his problem.

B) Have himself neutered at a local hospital.

C) Blind himself so as to virtually disqualify himself from any predatory activity.

D) Pull out a gun and blow his own head off.

Which is the best option for all concerned?

The answer is yes. Do one of those. D) would obviously be the most effective... B) and C) strike me as exceedingly unlikely and A) may or may not prove to solve anything. I know here in South Florida; even if you're a complete nut, the State will only take you in if you convince the people at the door that you're an immediate suicide risk, and even then it's for only 48 hours unless you convince a professional that releasing you would result in your suicide (I had to take an acquaintance to one of these; and it's damn near impossible even if you're programmed with that program, which is the only one that will work, as far as anyone I knew knew). I have considerably less faith in the effectiveness of A) than D) if a person is on the edge. I still say better safe than sorry.

As usual Kick, you add as much to the conversation as you'll take away; nothing. If I need someone to do a lousy job of repeating fragments of already shotty arguments... or help on an idiotic sex thread; I'll send you a pm. Good day.

(Repeating nonsense, doesn't make it sense).

Of course. I should have expected this gutless and completely nonsensical response.

More bullshit and gutless posturing. Oh, Bill, you're so tough and scary!

Let me ask you a question, Bill. Which are you most proud of: Your ignorance or your arrogance?

You silly man. You indicate that you'd like a response to your list of questions, I diligently comply, and receive nothing but ad hominem nonsense in return. Did you think someone needed you here for that? What precisely is your problem?

Still haven't heard why everyone's so angry about Bill's position. What does it actually matter to anyone else what he thinks>

Okay, Bill, relax. You're right about one thing. I did respond with an ad hominem attack. But it was only because I was trying to avoid calling you a stupid f*cking moronic blockhead. I apologize.

And as for the rest of your post...it's basically the equivalent of an apoplectic monkey flinging poo around in frustration. Entertaining, but not worthy of a serious response.

Something Craven wrote about 25% of men.....

It got me wondering. In countries where it has been considered the norm for many, many generations for a grown man to marry a much younger girl, like 10, 11, 12 years old, is that considered pedophilia?

If the girl is willing, and not being coerced into marriage and their culture is arranged in such a way that is acceptable, is there a problem.

Now I know a number of these child brides are forced into the situation, but I'm sure many are not.

What if the husband is accepting her as a wife and does no harm?
