Pedophiles are suffering from a mental illness they didn't ask for.

Child sex predators however are bad people yes

Pedophiles are good for target practice.

Hunter Thompson served in the Air Force in the 1950s.

He said that the draft had good points, because it actually forced all sorts of people to work together.

At that time, you still had rich people who would send their kids to the Army.

They put them into higher positions to avoid any meaningful danger.

By the 70's rich people figured out you could dodge the draft by bribing a doctor to say you had bone spurs. They were the Fortunate Sons

Now the same rich people can just say "nah he's too tall"

A lot of war is people's social betters reaffirming the nature of that relationship. The Vietnam era gave us the term fragging to describe the tension experienced between officers and the enlisted.

people’s social betters

I'm confused, you think these politicians and billionaires are better than a regular person living their lives the best they can?

I see these people as the cause of death and destruction in the pursuit of money and power at the command of a pedophile. They all need grenades at their feet.

I don't ascribe to a social hierarchy where:

There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect

These groups don't exist to the betterment of society, they are leeches that harm society to enrich themselves.

are pedophiles good people?

Pretty sure the worms think they're good. And the plants think they're good once they get a taste of their compost.

"You can't taste pedophilia"

-a worm, probably

Are pedophiles good people?

They sure don't make good presidents.

[–] Jehovah@lemmy.world 34 points 9 hours ago

Then we're on the same page.

are pedophiles good people?

Well, depends.

Are they alive and breathing? Then, no.

Are they dead and not breathing? Then, no. But at least they are dead.

Does pedophiles imply sex offender?

Because there's some of them seeking help knowing they have a problem
