Uh, he just admitted to having child porn.

Good lord, this is the kind of BS that makes me seriously wonder where do you draw the line?

you've just thrown an ordinary citizen in the slammer because of a mental condition he keeps to himself and doesn't force on others. nobody would know otherwise.

And how do you know that? CP is illegal, and he can make whatever excuse or reasoning he wants, but it still doesn't change the fact that what he has is wrong. If nothing else, you're creating a slippery slope situation on what is considered acceptable and what isn't, and there really isn't much justification for CP, if at all.

so what harm did he ever do to you or anyone else that warranted being locked up for a good portion of his life?

You want to take that chance that he didn't hurt anybody? You're either that naïve to really believe what you're saying, or you must be trolling, and I don't believe it's the latter.

What you did is really messed up man, I'm not defending him or anything but you may as well have killed the guy. You've ruined his life because he finds something sexually attractive that you don't.

This isn't about a disconnect of fetishes. It's not like the guy was harmless. He had tons of child porn in his possession. It doesn't stop there, eventually he was bound to act on his urges. If anything, OP might have done him a favor. Now the guy can get some professional help before he does anything worse.

You're defending a pedophile. He posed a thread to actual children, he has younger siblings and god knows what he'd do if he could get away with it. It comes down to this - he broke the law and has to be punished for it. It's not my call to make.that judgement. If you think he should be free then petition to legalize pedophillia.

You're an idiot if you think that it's worth the risk to let it slide.

The fact so many people in this thread are DEFENDING a predator who preys on children is fucking disgusting, shame on all of you.

I'm fine with ruining the life of someone who poses a threat to innocent children. What the fuck is wrong with you? Would you like him not to be registered as a sex offender so he could be a babysitter or teacher? You're an idiot. Sure it'll 'ruin' his life but it's his own damn fault. If he hadn't downloaded child porn there wouldn't have been a crime to report, and furthermore he was dumb enough to tell someone that he thinks sex with children is not morally abhorrent.

wait, what? how? there's several distinctions between a pedophile and a child molester.

one: no actual kid necessarily comes into contact with by the former.

two: even if they did, the issue lies with consent, not with contact.

the human brain is sufficiently developed to understand it's own basic instincts by the time a person reaches the age they're capable of coherent speech on average.

a pedophile can get consent from a child, a child molester only likes raping them.

is it illegal? yes. is it right to say your morals override the morals of other human beings equal to yourself? no. keep your moral compass to yourself and do away with the groupthink.

dont make new laws or exploit existing ones to impose those morals on others.

I think you might actually be mentally challenged. The human brain doesn't stop developing until the time we're about twenty five or so, so there's no way a child can make an informed decision on such a thing - they aren't developed enough to understand the consequences, and from a biological stance sex is only meant for reproduction which a child is incapable of.

He is not a human being equal to myself, he is human garbage. There's plenty of human beings who are far more adept than him who lack these flaws - hence objectively he is flawed and pointless. I could care less if they stone him to death.

I work for the good of society, you're an idiot to fight against society, the only logical route is to act for the good of the community over the good of the individual, because as a part of that community you'll obviously benefit, at least indirectly.

This has nothing to do with a moral compass anyway, the issue at hand is the law, I am not 'exploiting' the law any more than a witness to a murder telling the police what they saw would be 'exploiting' the law.

the issue lies with the nature of the law that was broken.

would you report someone for letting a donkey sleep in a bathtub?

that's how retarded this law is.

Except sex with children is proven to cause actual mental damage that lasts their whole lives. Unlike you, you fucking idiot, I know someone who was molested as a child and now ANY human contact makes them extremely uncomfortable, even of a non-sexual nature, and they have issues with inter-personal relations. Plus those who are molested usually turn into molesters themselves, turning it into a vicious cycle.

Do your research before spouting bullshit because 'anarchy is cool and I think I'm so much more educated than all these dumb people who think that fucking children isn't okay'

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if you were a pedophile yourself considering how defensive you are, but maybe that's just me reading too far into it.

Yes but at some point you have to consider them to be mentally disabled if they still act like a prepubescent. So attempting to put logic to this.. retards should be allowed to sex toddlers??

You don't know much about laws. Did you know most other countries age of consent is 16? You're more like a blind sheep.

This argument is usually invalid because teens dont fit in the definition of pedophilia. Theres a seperate term for that, look it up. It is however considered child pornography just the same. But the age of consent for that is 18 so.. yep still irrelevant. More of a fun fact.

Bottom line is that the man ADMITTED to having child porn on his computer by the OP on Skype, that's grounds for arrest no if, and or buts about it, because it's illegal and for good reason that people already mentioned earlier. This is the kind of argument that really shouldn't be debated at all because it's clearly illegal and the man needs serious help at the very least. Mentally ill or not, there are many different explanations and even justifications for criminal behavior, even if it usually nothing more than self-serving myopic bullshit, having child porn is NOT one of those, and I am rather perturbed that a few folks here {*cough* Toxicity *cough*} are willing to treat it as a joke or even defend this kind of behavior.

Bear with me as I compare my unbiased real life experiences to your naive claims. I am not a pedophile myself and admittedly I find all fetishes to be fairly weird, but one of my very closest and best friends whom I love and trust like a brother has admitted to both being a pedophile and someone who is turned on by bestiality, as well as incest.

He's got a job, supports his family, has never touched a child or animal inappropriately, and is overall a good person.

Here's a fun fact for you, your fetishes don't take over your fucking life. So, where do I draw the line? I draw it at being a trustworthy and decent enough human being to know right from wrong and to leave your abnormal fetishes to yourself and not force them upon anyone else.

And how do you know that? CP is illegal, and he can make whatever excuse or reasoning he wants, but it still doesn't change the fact that what he has is wrong. If nothing else, you're creating a slippery slope situation on what is considered acceptable and what isn't, and there really isn't much justification for CP, if at all.

Legality isn't a good argument. Marijuana is also illegal.
Eh, there's plenty to justify about it. I don't condone viewing cp and I think it's pretty fucked up myself, but I understand that these people cannot help their attraction to children, and I don't find it just to lock them up over a mental condition which is harmless. Yeah, there's fucked up pedophile rapists. But to say a pedophile cannot be trusted just because they're attracted to children is like saying I can't be trusted around women in general. There's a little thing called self control. Some people have it and some don't. The attraction itself has nothing to do with it.

You want to take that chance that he didn't hurt anybody? You're either that naïve to really believe what you're saying, or you must be trolling, and I don't believe it's the latter.

Look, if this guy's watching some kind of rape-y forced child porn shit, then I understand. But that's my line. I stand by it. Arresting someone solely for being a pedophile is stupid. Simply because they cannot help it. Even if this guy did have an extremely fucked up fetish, I still don't see it as a reason to throw someone in the slammer as long as watching that keeps them from going out and doing it.

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty in my eyes.

Oh and just for the record, OP is 16 years old.

I highly doubt this guy was a threat to anyone.

This is one of the few things that are taken very seriously, along with death threats, or did we just feigned ignorance about all this?

Pedophilia is a mental disorder but that doesn't make a person fucking evil. And there's a difference between being attracted to something and actually wanting to do that thing.

Still doesn't change the fact that he committed a crime, and anyone who is actively defending him is basically either tone-deaf or are going down a slippery slope when it comes to defending illegal behavior. At the very least we all need to acknowledge that the man needs serious help, and no explanation or reasoning is going to change that.

Here's a question for all of you who are defending the creep, where do you draw the line? If you're going to pass off pedophilia as a supposed mental illness, what does it make folks like Ray Rice or Greg Hardy who strike defenseless women? No one consider them to have a mental illness.

Can you even comprehend how many people there are on the internet who like fapping to simulated rape?

Huge difference between simulated rape and CP, one is with consensual adults, the other ones isn't. The comparisons are not only flimsy it that, but is absolutely bogus as well that someone who would compare simulated (i.e. pretend rape) to being a pedo, which even among the fetish crowds are usually considered verboten.

And now can you even comprehend that such an absolutely fragmentally tiny tiny few who are into it actually consider doing it?

Irrelevant detail is irrelevant. Seriously, you and Toxicity just don't understand the ramifications of such behavior and the fact that you're defending this guy because the OP "snitched" not only speaks of hypocrisy but the slippery slope factor as well.

Look bud, the whole "this is WRONG because it is ILLEGAL" argument is a joke. Weed is illegal, too. I'm not interested in it myself but, I'm not going to bust someone for possessing marijuana and have the gall to say that they were untrustworthy because they thought the law was stupid.

The whole "the only reason it's wrong is because it's illegal" point is actually what makes me defend this guy. It sounds like he just finds younger people attractive, it doesn't sound like he wants to forcibly rape others or watch it happening. Even the sickest fucks know why that's illegal.

A slippery slope indeed. I'm very curious, are you the kind of person who is so pro-government that they believe everything the government does is correct, and they would bust someone for possessing pot just because it was illegal?

I draw the line at a lack of evidence. OP said he had "cp", but never clarified how extreme. My reaction would vary depending on that. Ray Rice and Greg Hardy are dipshits because they have gone out and harmed others. I would not be defending this guy if he went out and raped/beat anyone, but he didn't. The fact that he didn't is what makes me believe OP is a dipshit.

--insert my entire argument about you not being able to determine what this guy had on his computer--
If it was the kind of nonsense you'd find on the darkweb or whatever, then I understand more. But nobody ever said "I have hardcore child porn on my computer". For all you know this guy just scavenged /b on 4chan. Nothing exactly rape-y about that.

Irrelevant detail is irrelevant.

It's not irrelevant at all. This guy isn't a danger to society if he doesn't go out and do it. Case closed. Jerry Sandusky raped kids. He should be fucking shot. The person in question did not do anything to anyone else.That is the very real difference between him and a notorious rapist.
So, how the hell am I a hypocrite?

Quit jerking yourselves off over snitching. My entire point is the world would have been no less safer had OP never busted the guy, and you two glorifying an act of busting someone until they're proven guilty is pretty disgusting.

So here's my question. What if the odds are in my favor and this guy just has naked pictures of people who happen to be younger? Nothing rape-y about it, just outside of the age limit. Do you bust them?

I did not say the opposite must be true. I said you lack evidence. You're actually the one utilizing a logical fallacy by saying a claim very similar to the one you're pinning on me. You believe that because he is attracted to children, he is automatically a danger to society even though you have no proof of his intentions.

You cute edgy pedophile-lover, you.

You're an idiot. More on that after your next statement.

Like I said I know someone who was raped as a child so obviously I understand the problems with pedophillia.

Clearly you don't. Knowing someone who was raped as a child has literally nothing to do with anything we're discussing. This guy hasn't evidently forced himself onto others and you have no grounds for a case that he would have if you never "stopped him". The fact that he described child porn as "only wrong because it's illegal" is enough for me to infer that he isn't referring to rape. Everyone, even fucking rapists know why rape is illegal. This sounds like a guy who scavenged the cp from 4chan's /b threads. You know, the kind that's basically just jailbait.

Prove me wrong, and you might sway my views but it sounds like this guy wasn't looking at any hardcore shit a la the dark web.

Why am I defending a pedophile? Not because I'm a "cute edgy edgelord" or whatever you 4chan/reddit fuckheads nowadays call anyone with differing opinions to your own. But because I know one. Someone who is attracted to younger people; actually, his views would be "if they're hot then age doesn't matter imo". It's important to note that this guy is a stable person, he has a job, helps with supporting his family, and is overall a pacifist, zero-conflict down to earth kind of guy. And if it makes my claim any more valid, he also had a best friend who was raped as a child by their own family member. And even then, that person had no problems with my friend.

So I say fuck your claims about "understanding pedophilia".

Now, do I agree with pedophilia? No, no I don't. But has it affected one of my best friends in any harmful way whatsoever? No. So, why the hell does it matter so much to you to the point where you're happy and willing to ruin the rest of someone's entire life over it? What gets me the most is how fucking proud you are about it. Stroke your ego some more, why don't you.

Christ.

I have a friend, he's a necro.

Over the years, he's gotten worse and worse, huffing paint. He once used his wife as bait to trick an 18 y/o into lettin him carve him up with a razor and buttsecks. The 18y/o ended up "accidently on purpose" dying in a motorcycle accident after drinking a bottle of coughsyrup.

His wife eventually left him over the paint huffery.

Now this dude sits around huffing paint, wearing cat ears, talking like a cat, and trying to figure out to how make his junkie prison bitch roomate be gay when he's sober.

So um, yeah, pervs get worse as they get older. CP is never okay. Someone who's into CP at 15 will probably act on it in their late 40's. This is why 16 yo's shouldn't be alllowed to sleep with each other. You don't want to develop a taste for 16 yo's while you're 16, then be 35 and still be into 16 yo's.

Think about it. Nobody just wakes up one day and goes "Tranny porn, yup, that's for me!" It takes years of watching regular porn and thinking "Man, this would be so much better if they were both chicks, but one of them still had a dong" and next thing you know youre 54 yo whackin it to south asian trannies.

Perhaps, but even so, that's something you do not joke around with and the feds do take this shit seriously. It's the same thing with death/bomb threats, even if they are jokes.

But even then, if watching the stuff keeps someone from actually doing it, then whatever.

You're opening up Pandora's box here, and I guarantee you that it isn't pretty. What about all those prepubescent kids on those pictures? I'm sure that they would be pretty horrified that they were naked and being leered at by some scumbag.

There is a huge difference between marijuana and child porn. Marijuana actually has medical benefits and is legal in certain states, {it's illegal under federal law, but that's an irrelevant point} CP does not, and in fact harms far more than it does help, if at all. Now, I will imagine that you'll bring up something like the Civil Rights Movement as a counterpoint as something that is wrong =/= illegal argument, but the point I just mentioned applies to that too.

See? This is the slippery slope I just said earlier. If you're willing to allow that without some sort of intervention or help for this person, then you'll be more likely to find some excuse for much worse criminal behavior. Why am I reminded of the Boondocks episode where Huey Freeman calls out those who defended R. Kelly for a similar situation involving pedophilia? If you really did care and defend for that guy, then you by all rights should give him serious help in order to overcome this problem.

A slippery slope indeed. I'm very curious, are you the kind of person who is so pro-government that they believe everything the government does is correct, and they would bust someone for possessing pot just because it was illegal?

Tell me, where do you get that from? Do you not understand that pedophilia and child porn damages and even destroys lives and why would world governments go out of their way to curtail it as much as possible? Thing is, we would've all been none the wiser had he not blurted it out to the OP, that's the straw that breaks the camel's back. Not even the most liberal bumblefucks would defend pedophilia as it is now considering all of the sex scandals that Jerry Sandusky and Jimmy Savile had. Explain that.

I draw the line at a lack of evidence. OP said he had "cp", but never clarified how extreme.

Maybe, but do you want to take that chance? Sounds like you already did.

My reaction would vary depending on that. Ray Rice and Greg Hardy are dipshits because they have gone out and harmed others.

And the pedophile didn't, in an indirect way? What if you were a parent of one of those kids on those pictures? Rice, Hardy, and whoever the sicko is are responsible for traumatizing people's lives, the only difference is the age of the victims and how they did the deed. At best, you are either totally ignorant or are seriously tone deaf of the ramifications at hand.

It's not irrelevant at all. This guy isn't a danger to society if he doesn't go out and do it. Case closed. Jerry Sandusky raped kids. He should be fucking shot. The person in question did not do anything to anyone else.That is the very real difference between him and a notorious rapist.

At the very least, you do have to admit that the man needs some sort of serious help. There are plenty of drug addicts who get arrested for whatever crime they commit to get clean in prison and/or in rehab, why can't he?

So, how the hell am I a hypocrite?

Let's see, you admit that Rice and Hardy were scumbags who deserve what they get for traumatizing a woman, yet this guy probably did the same thing in some way to the kids in the pictures and you're going to defend him as if he did nothing wrong. There is also another part about snitching, but I'm not going to go there because I'm not going to derail this thread.

Quit jerking yourselves off over snitching. My entire point is the world would have been no less safer had OP never busted the guy, and you two glorifying an act of busting someone until they're proven guilty is pretty disgusting.

The evidence is right there, and even if it turns out that nothing is there all along, that still doesn't make it any less disturbing to say the least. Think of this, if you were a parent or have younger siblings, would you be this recalcitrant towards what the OP and I are saying? Would you not think that whoever is on those pictures could be someone you know?

So here's my question. What if the odds are in my favor and this guy just has naked pictures of people who happen to be younger? Nothing rape-y about it, just outside of the age limit. Do you bust them?

Considering that the man just admitted it on the Internet, of course I would call the cops on him. As I keep saying over and over again, the accusation of CP is nothing to breeze off as nothing, and he should be punished for his own stupidity/arrogance/ignorance or the combination of the 3, just on principle alone.
