I tend to agree. While it may not seem like we're making much progress figuring them out - we are making progress. Whether we work to understand, and
address the root problems of pedophilia - or simply slaughter them - children are still going to get raped. You can't avoid this. You can argue the
semantics of numbers, but ultimately - even one child is far too many. The only way we're going to be able to ensure this doesn't happen is to pull
out the problem by the roots - and for that, we need to understand them and what makes their mental process different. What happens in the brain to
cause it to form like that... so that we can take preventative measures in the future to ensure that later generations are prepared to avoid those
sorts of development. You'll save two lives - that of the person who would have otherwise been a pedophile, and life the child he would have raped.
If you just kill them, then two lives are destroyed. Which will you choose? The path that gives life, or the path that destroys life?
You can make yourself feel like a big hero and slaughter them in righteous bloodlust, but you're only going to kill the ones you catch - and a great
deal of innocent people along the way. It won't stop them. It won't prevent them. It'll empower them. This is how evolution works, in this case
being an evolution of ideas that are spread and help them defy being caught so that they can be more efficient molesters. By applying selective
pressure - those that are caught will be removed and your going to enhance their techniques that do work... and you're going to drive them even
further underground where they're more difficult to track down.
... and you're never going to stop it. You're going to keep slaughtering and children will continue to be raped. It will never end. Not until you
understand them, and tear out the root of the problem. If this policy of slaughter works so well, then why are there still homosexuals in Iran?
Regardless of what Mahmoud says - the executions continue to this day.
I find it so hypocritical that so many here who rail against the evils of the world would so quickly turn to picking up that very banner of evil
themselves as a weapon. Perhaps it's not hypocritical though... because that seems to be a part of what humanity is. Deluded. We don't see the
processes of our own mental operating systems, and most don't question the reasons why they behave the way they do. They gloss over it with
simplistic terms like good and evil - moral and immoral.
Thomas Paine opposed the execution of King Louis XVI and the aristocracy... because he recognized that while they were responsible for their own
actions, they cannot be judged with death for simply acting in accordance to how the system was set up to shape them - arguing that any one of those
revolutionaries who fought against the monarchy would have been capable of preforming the exact same atrocities were they born and raised in that
system. But the citizenry blamed the individuals, in their righteous furor, without looking rationally or with understanding in the system. They also
picked up the banner of evil - and the blood flowed continually. Paine himself, who was granted honorary French citizenship and was a spokesman of
their revolution, was sentenced to death for his opposition to their executions.
Though the circumstances are different, I see the same phenomena manifest here on a daily basis. The same cycle repeating, because people aren't
willing to tolerate understanding the vile - in themselves or others - they scream for eradication. Of the NWO, of Religion, of Drug abusers, of
Pedophilia... whatever they see as evil. And the cycle continues unabated.
