Mohawk: you really have some points there...I find it quite reasonable, at least I can understand your feelings even though I dont have kids.

Which, unfortunetly, is what most people would think after hearing him. I kind of blame it on the media though. With the media making such a big deal about child rapists and such, it's not a very good idea to bring anything relating to pedophilia up. I really don't think it was such a good idea for wildarmsheero to go out and say those things. But as he said, creating "shock" was his main purpose.

Most of the other people who I have talked to relating to loli seem to be pretty intelligent though. They know the harm in having sex with children and don't ever intend to do it. I myself have pretty high morals and would never do it. Most of us keep a pretty low profile though as to not draw attention, for obvious reasons. With that being said you never really hear about the people like us. The media only focuses on the stupid ones who do act on their desires. I really hate it. It gives a horrible image to all of us. And none of us can speak up without getting criticized. So we just keep quiet. It's really a bad situation that none of us can stop.

I know we are all capable of being either the best, or the worst that mankind can muster and the only thing that holds us back is our willingness to perform, and our consciousness of what our actions will do to others one way, or the other.


There are certain people I would love to see dead. The idea that I could be the person kill them is, at times, very alluring.

I highly doubt that it's only a "matter of time" before I go out and murder someone.

I'd be willing to bet that more than 50% of Americans can think of at least one person that they'd like to see dead, not for the greater justive, but out of hatred for that person. But in the end, if they were certain of being able to get away with it, would they themselves be able to pull the trigger ?

I wouldn't.

I assume the situation is similar for Pedophiles who are attracted to the idea of sex with children, but are able to dicern between their desires and what is "wrong."

The problem is not with the majority of people who have desires they can control, but with the minority who have desires that they can't control, or have deluded themselves into believing that certain desires are not harmful to others (Sex with kids is good for them, Killing this person was justified for... whatever reason).

One of the biggest problems viz-a-viz "child lovers" is many of them delude themselves into believing that there is nothing wrong with having sec with children.

Its the same kind of self-protecting behavior that leads teenagers to believe that there is nothing wrong with shoplifting or downloading illegally copied media, only to a much, much higher degree.
