Not now! The neighbors are watching!

This is really a broader topic. Do people break laws because they are sick or because they choose to. Should we try to repair people or should we punish them as a deterant and a way to take them out of society.

I Choose the second. You choose the first. Thats fair.

There are elements of both and pedophilia (or any number of things) need to start being treated as such, with a 25% relapse rate it clearly isn't working to bury our heads in the sand and keep handing out these ineffective punishments rather than addressing the core issue.

But your initial arguement was disengenous whan you spoke of "debt to society". Because that has nothing to do with treatment and nothing at all to do with the person being safe to put back on the street.

False. The "debt to society" is that because you broke the law by molesting children, you are now removed from society and forced to undergo treatment. You owe the debt because you broke the law. Your debt is fulfilled when you are deemed rehabilitated. There must be some type of communication breakdown here.

Next time be honest up front about your opinion.
I might disagree with you but I wont call you stupid.

You are acting like I am at the heart of some LurkerLounge conspiracy. I made one general statement and the beginning of the thread and from that point on have only adressed points and comments brought up by others.
