Informal Poll: What to do about pedophiles

I say E then A

dunno. send them all to an island where only other paedophiles and rapists live and never let them have children.

its not about sex so i dont see how it would help. theyd just find other ways to hurt children.

That's the same as D I'd say.

i suppose so.

yeh. maybe. im reluctant to support the death penalty but at the same time id happily shoot the abusive fucks myself. what a contradiction eh.

Death penalty is far less harsh than forcing them to spend time with Revol I'd think.

And who knows? Maybe spending some time with revol would cure them. It would at least show them how unattractive immaturity is.

I'm pretty serious about euthanasia for pedophiles.

C and D

ideally isolate them and try to hep them. if they can't be helped they stay isolated.

I haven't seen anyone suggest mercy. For five years I have worked with supervising such a person. The state in its wisdom chose to release this person. The reality is there are dozens of people within 20 miles of you who are convicted of these sick crimes. Where I live you can pull up lists based on Zip Code and see all of the registered sex offenders listed by name and address. In our case this person submits to a type of community supervision. It keeps them from being isolated to where they feel sorry for themselves and thus making it likely they'll reoffend. The idea is no more victims. Oddly enough this guy was once a victim himself. Option D was it for seven years but the reality is he's out, so now what do we do with him? I'm not sure C works frankly, but keeping this guy accountable and visible is good for everyone. The state didn't go for A and B.

They were often vicims themselves. I wouldn't say it's not about sex because it's in part about sex. The whole issue of power and control is the real problem. Psychology is social. That's why for example very few black girls are anorexic. Pedophilia is a disease of a diseased society. The inhumane dysfunctions of class society filtering down to personal behavior.

I think executing somebody just because they have a thing about feet is a bit off

Seriously though, I'd say C and then D if that doesn't work, personally. Doing anything irreversible to them (whether that's death, chemical castration or whatever) is pretty fucking stupid, what happens when you accidentally get the wrong person?

This is a bizarre thread!

Surely, A and B are about personifying the activity. i.e. this person does this activity and therefore we kill the person. The activity is the problem, and that activity comes as a reflection of experiences and interpretations the person has had to make such things desirable. What are these experiences? Normalization of abuse, excepting domination and control as a form of social existence, all confused with sexuality and the use of sexual desires as a form of domination. I think you'll probably run out of bullets before the last pedophile is killed.

C and D are about containment. i.e. How do we prevent this person committing this activity? Once a person is a pedophile, there needs to be a way to hinder or stop there activity without personifying it. This is an idealogical decision and moves away from the bourgeois concept of justice and to a more rooted mentality. Do chemical castrations work? Some pedophiles request them and acknowledge their sexual/domination problem. Perhaps thats a solution. Prison on the overhand means that we utilise the capitalist concept of justice as highlighted above and will mean that a state structure will be needed to maintain it.

Anyhow, I think the whole pedophile category is a nonsense as those same sexual/domination activity exists in relationships that aren't pedophillic. The start point surely is then to look at the wider context these unhealthy, sexual, oppressive relationships form, there relations to the concept of power-over and authority and the normalisation of sexual repression as a whole within society.

Pedophiles are a convenient tool used by the media to attack sexually "deviant" behaviour as THEY see it, and so often has been linked to homosexuality. It is also a cover for those people who do engage in sexual repression to hide their own abusive relationships.
