How do you treat pedophilia?
What makes you think you can? Is this one of those ideas where you can "treat" homosexuality so that gay men can live a hetrosexual lifestyle and thus be "fixed praise the lord" shit?.........They choose to attack people not because they think it is how life works. They know it's wrong and they are fine with that.
And out of interest, when did you get these great insights into the paedophile's mind. What makes you so sure that "they know it's wrong and they are fine with that." In any case, your logic seems a bit flawed here - you start by making the point that paedophilia can't be treated, the implication being that it is not something people have any choice over, then you finish by saying that they choose paedophilia. Now, which do you think it is, Willy? Do they choose to be paedophiles or not? If you accept that it is not a choice they have, then the next question is like, for example, married gay men, do they have the choice whether to 'express' their paedophilia, to which the answer is yes, they could have seeked help before committing the act, there a variety of systems and people they can seek help from (although I wonder whether you think these should exist, seeing as you see it as untreatable - do you think we should just wait for paedophiles to commit their first offence, then having identified them AFTER that offence, deal with them (in your world, presumably lock 'em up and throw away the key)? Or do you think it is right that there should exist systems to try and identify and stop paedophiles prior to the first offence? And if so, you are admitting that something can be done (unless you think those systems should be just a cell into which admitted paedophiles with no criminal convictions should be put).
I think you need to clarify (calmly as it might make it easier for yourself) what your thinking is and then we can take it from there.

Are any of you saying that this isn't a violent act and is sexual?
Why don't you try reading their posts, Willy? I can't see anyone on this thread saying that they are not violent and sexual, can you?
If you do answer this post, can you respond to what I DO say rather than what I don't, please, as your outbursts above are based on your own biases rather than anything I actually wrote in the thread.
Thanks.
