That’s how the legal system works. Or should we open up a precrime department and fix the world your way?
I suppose we’ll just have to agree to disagree.
No. Their desire to maintain intimate relationships with children – yes, that’s disgusting and creepy to me. But no, I don’t classify all pedophiles as disgusting and creepy. Nor would I want anyone to unfairly judge me as a person on just one aspect of my psyche. I don’t automatically classify pedophiles as “animals”; I classify them as human beings who have desires that I simply can’t agree with and find repugnant, but otherwise are no different from anyone else. Some are intelligent, some are not. Some can be excellent businessmen; others should stick to janitorial work.
So if you’re asking if “pedophile” automatically triggers a “kick this guy’s ass because he’s completely incapable of contributing anything positive to society and should be wiped off the face of the earth” bell in my head; no, it doesn’t.
