if you accept it as either sexual orientation or mental disorder, then it pose a problem. the crime against child by them would seem less heinous. and under law, they can pull the insanity defense on their crime against minor.
whatever it is, they should be put on child offender alert list and under police supervision by daily report to police station. hence I strongly against any attempt to water down their crime
Belum attack a child want to put on a list somewhere already?
Her point here is that not all pedos out there want to abuse children. Her given example was 'Jonas' who actually knows its wrong and does not want to act on it. He's condemned himself to live a very lonely life and never have a meaningful relationship ever.
If we condemn Jonas right from the start, he won't even dare to speak up about it. He's going to feel isolated from society. And the danger here is that someone who is isolated and rejected from society is more likely to commit child abuse.
But if we are more accepting of Jonas from the start (mind you, a reminder that this does not involve letting him have sex with kids) and recognize the situation he is in, we can perhaps help him to be a more productive member of society and help him to keep his desires under control.
That is the one and only point she is trying to make. Anything else further, its your own interpretation. Don't tokok tambah or try to add to it please, else the discussion will go on forever as we keep changing the subject. Just focus on that one point.
But overall, I think its a controversial topic. Not likely to find widespread acceptance. Difficult to put into practice cos it requires overcoming a lot of prejudices. But I don't think her idea is entirely wrong.

You dont understand what I said.
Did I anywhere mention on abuse on the child?
If, her child and the 45yrs old suka sama suka, hope she will remain stating the same understanding on pedo.
Looks like you didn't watch the video. Either that or you didn't comprehend. You disappoint me.
She has the exact same understanding on pedo as you do. You want to have sex with her kid, she'll call the police on you.

We do what we can to help, what we definitely should not do is enabling them. Accepting it as sexual orientation is enabling them.
Yes, it is expensive, like many other conditions that we face in this world but do we enable it? No, we don't. We accept it as mental disorder for example. Mental disorder does not mean one is not functional. You can be a schizo and still be functional. There are many levels and depth of mental disorder. It is highly complex and expensive. It is still an issue we're facing today but again, one thing is for sure, we give them the support they need by helping them not enabling them.
Being a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual are sexual orientation. They're functional and they're harmless. Paedophilia isn't, just like necrophilia and beastiality is a mental disorder because it is harmful.
She's not saying its a sexual orientation because we need to enable them. She's just saying that it is so because there is no solution for it, such has how there is no solution for someone being gay.
BUT...before we get further into this, I would also like to point out that I'm not too sure myself. I also think you might be right in that it could be a mental disorder. I'm just trying to clarify her standpoint. But the fact remains is there is no wonder-drug to cure this. There is a drug out there that suppresses sexual desire though but that's not really a cure. It might be the medication that she's referring to though.
Technically, classifying it as a mental condition might even be beneficial cos than the cost of the drug can be covered by insurance.
Anyway, I think I shouldn't post anymore. Scared /k say I'm a pedo rights advocate like that Singaporean idiot.
