If they are sane and having sex with children or even desiring it, then they are evil. Unless of course you think it is perfectly normal?
My question wasn't what it is that you believe to be wrong, which is the question you answered. My question to you was why do you think a thing (such as pedophilia) is considered to be wrong?
I answered, now lets see if you can do the same without the evasion.

So according to your definition above, the one who has significant distress or impairment about their urges and knows they are wrong and who seeks out a therapist to get help is categorized as having a mental disorder.
Yet the second guy who has the same urges, but is not distressed by them and actually enjoys fantasizing about having sex with children and PLANS on doing it one day soon, does NOT have a mental disorder.
Do you see how reprobate and sick your claims are?
Your claim is complete nonsense. And disgusting.

"Why it's wrong" has nothing to do with the motivation behind what people who do it have, Jim. But they either are mentally ill (something is wrong with their brain) to want to do it, or they are just evil people. What other motivation can you come up with?
I agree with your answer Jim.
done!

A normal person doesn't want to have sex with children Jimmy. Do you agree with that?
Anyone who does is not normal. They are either sane and evil or sick and insane. I can't think of any other motive for having such urges and desires. Can you?

Tassman, you seem especially unstable today --- need a tissue?

So the guy who enjoys his pedophilic urges and fantasies does not have a mental disorder unless he actually does act on them according to you.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostNo Tassman, you clearly said that only behaviors count. Planning is not a behavior, it is thinking. fantasizing, which you already said was normal, and was only a mental disorder if they were distressed about it.So the guy who enjoys his pedophilic urges and fantasies does not have a mental disorder unless he actually does act on them according to you.Last edited by Tassman; 04-20-2019, 12:10 AM.
