    I never thought I’d say it, but Ted Cruz is right.

    Won’t somebody please think of the pedophiles?

      For those that never act on it, I hope they get psychiatric help. For those that have, jail and help. I have no clue how such a sickness can be helped though (I am against death penalties and sexual mutilation, so no.) But protecting them? Ignoring them? Helllllll no.

        Yeah, there’s definitely a difference between a person being attracted to children and a person raping children/consuming CSAM.

        The first group deserves help to make sure they don’t become the second group, and the second group deserves prison.

        Especially considering that it’s definitely not uncommon for the first group to have been victims of the second.
