Shake, pedophiles have no control over it. Child molesters do. They can be one in the same, but they aren't by definition. Pedophiles are sexually attracted to children. Someone could be a pedophile but go through their entire life never doing anything inappropriate to a child, by conscience and/or fear of consequence. They have no control over their feelings and urges. They only have control over their actions. if they choose to have sexual relations of any kind with a child, then they are a child molester. They had control of their actions but chose to act on them. I don't respect people who molest kids, but a pedophile who exhibited unconditional self control and never so much as looked at a child in a disturbing manner, I would respect. There probably aren't many out there like that, but who really knows.

And yes, what I said DOES VERY MUCH have **** to do with what you're talking about. If a guy can get fooled that easily by a girl in person, how easy is it to get fooled on the internet? Not all guys who show up at the house of a 13 year old for sex know that it's a 13 year old they're meeting. There are girls out there who are looking for sex from chat room guys. How many of them do you think are honest? There's this whole "it can't happen to me" attitude that you always hear regarding the guys who get busted on that show. Well it works both ways. Those teenagers you refer to as "half-people" are probably even more likely to think that it won't happen to them. A girl browses the chatrooms and gets friendly with older guys, then she sees the Chris Hanson show. Is she more likely to think "omg i shud be more carefull lolz" or "yeah right lolz that will nevar happen to me." They're stubborn, rebellious, ignorant and naive. I know you agree with me there. If they end up getting secksed up by a 40 year old internet predator, they've gotten what they asked for.

ExTha's not stupid at all, nor is he ignorant. He's just unsympathetic to young teenage girls who try to hook up via chat rooms. There's no reason to fault him for that even if you disagree with him. Shake, you're obviously unsympathetic to guys who go to the same chat rooms looking for young tail. We all have groups of people we're unsympathetic to. For me (off the top of my head), people with eating disorders is the first that comes to mind, and there are many more. ExTha is not defending the criminals so much as he's criticizing the victims, and that needs to happen more in this world in my opinion, because it's too easy for people to paint themselves as victims and take advantage of their victimization.

As for killing every pedophile or even killing every sex offender. THAT is what's stupid. I hate all extremists and crusaders whether or not I agree with their cause. If you kill a guy who bangs a half-conscious drunk chick, you have to kill the guy who was tricked by a 15 year old girl (and wouldn't have gone near her if he knew her age). If you kill a guy who rapes a kid, you have to kill some homeless guy jerking off in a park somewhere when a kid happens to run into view. If you don't kill minor sex offenders or accidental sex offenders along with the horrible ones, you're admitting to the existence of a gray area, and gray areas are the worst enemy of any extremist or crusader.
