I am not a monster, dammit!!!!!!!!

I THINK the whole “stranger danger” thing was more of a “you don’t know this person, thus, you don’t know what they’re like” kind of thing. But it morphed into a “STRANGERS ARE BAD!!!” kind of thing.

I think you also have to look at how they are defining someone you know. I know someone who was raped by a man who worked at the video store she frequented. Through transacting business she’d spoken with him a few times about movies she was renting so he was familiar to her by sight, but she didn’t know him. It’s hard to tell where that would fall under the statistic.

Unfortunately I’ve been present during rape examinations in the hospital and present during some police interviews and although some of the women had seen their attackers before, they didn’t (what I consider knowing) know them.

To the OP: I cannot imagine the internal hell you go through every day. I honestly just cannot imagine it. I hope you’re always able to fight your inclinations and that someday soon science will provide you with relief.

And the strangers are getting tired of it.

Well, at least some strangers are willing to fight back against the negativity; claiming perfection in all things.

You can say that agian

Of course you’re not, You’re a pedofile.

Marochko, do you EVER use the spell-check feature? You do realize that when your post has red underlining, it means you have misspellings? It kind of makes what you write look more ill-informed than it already is.

Every day? Short fuse?

I have a pedofile. I use it on the calluses on my heels.

Are you a cop?

Oh geez, not another one…

Well Pduol, all I’m gonna say is that my experience with pedophiles breaks down into two categories: those who have already offended, and those who haven’t offended yet. For what it’s worth, I hope you’re honest in your stated intentions to avoid children or anything pertaining to children, and that you’re able to locate a therapist who is willing to aid you in dealing with your paraphilia without getting squicked out. In particular, I hope you can show initiative by giving up custody of your daughters, or limiting contact with them, until they are grown to an age where you no longer present a danger to them (assuming they haven’t grown up already, which was a little unclear in your post.)

Hate to burst your bubble bucko, but the FBI doesn’t have the resources to track & monitor every single pervert in the world, so your threat is certain to go nowhere. (The Feds don’t have jurisdiction over domestic sexual abuse anyway; that’s the domain of local police.)

However, for cryin’ out loud, next time you want to report somebody, DON’T TELL THEM FIRST!!! At worst, doing so gives them opportunity to cover up their misdeeds (which can make you guilty of obstructing justice) and at best makes your words a hollow, meaningless threat, which I’m certain it was. :mad:

Pdoul has already stated he was not attracted to his daughters. By your logic, every non-pedophilic heterosexual man with daughters over the age of 18 presents a danger to them.

Any further reference to Cesario in this thread will result in a warning. While I understand that it may be on-topic, it violates the following rule:

Bolding mine.

And you believed him. :rolleyes:

Don’t mistakenly assume that pedophiles think the same way we do. They are by nature prone to immaturity, delusional thinking, and lack of self-control. Granted, it’s more likely that Pdoul is merely in denial, rather than outright lying…and who knows? Even I’ll admit there’s a non-zero chance that he’s actually telling the truth.

But the statistics are clear: more than FIFTY PERCENT of ALL sexually abused children are victims of their PARENTS, or another close relative. And I’ve read many statements by convicted sex offenders who claim they were “unaware” of their actual incestuous desires until, one day, it “just happened.” Those facts alone are cause for alarm.

Those statistics mean nothing at all to the question of whether or not a pedophile is likely to molest his own children. It only answers the question of how many children who are actually molested, are molested by family as opposed to strangers.

Around the time that I ask my husband the sixth question about some fairly simple movie plot, he cups my chubby chin lovingly in his hand and says, “Nzinga, you sure aren’t the sharpest knife in the drawer”. But even I can see that your statistic answers nothing to the fact of whether or not a pedophile is likely to molest his own children.

But the fact that he’s a pedophile makes him far more likely than a non-pedophile to molest any child, does it not? Unless I’m missing something, the math plays out.

We aint got no math, because we have no idea how many men are secretly in their heart of hearts pedophiles. We need those numbers to do the math. Without those numbers, we can only condemn those that actually act on their urges. For real. Because, if you can do the math without those numbers, I’m going to have to ask you to show your work.

Man, word problems suck.
