Bloody hell, she's right.
 

You all hate Margaret Thatcher 'cause your parents couldn't be arsed getting a job in the 80's...

BOOM.

We Should Share a stadium

It would be the Liverpool Football Club Stadium also featuring Everton.

So no, from me.

Bring back public hangings for paedophiles and child murderers. I'll pull the handle.

Technically a paedophile is someone who is attracted to children.

A child molester is someone who acts upon said attraction.

Would you hang all people with these thoughts, or just the ones who acted upon it? Just curious. I'm not defending the latter kind, though... anyone who would ruin an innocent child's life for transient pleasure deserves the harshest punishment available.

Hang them all mate just to be sure. it's too late once they act upon their urges.

Interesting. I'd argue that thoughts are involuntary, and being killed for them seems... well, that seems unjust, to me. I guess you could argue you'd be doing bad, to do good, and you'd be right. But statistically speaking you might not always be.

Hypothetical here. A person identifies themself as being a paedophile, but never acts upon the urges, and instead seeks mental help. Do you think they should be afforded this help, or do you still think they should be hanged?


And btw mods, if this topic is adjudged to be inappropriate, then I'll stop it right here before it gets out of hand. I think GOT's mature enough for a morality debate like this, myself, but I'm not a mod. (y)

Hang them mate. If i ever had those thoughts or urges i would put a gun to my own head and pull the trigger.
I have witnessed what child molesters can do to a child, so i have zero sympathy for any of them. It is heart breaking trying to console a child after it, they never ever recover.

You can try to change what a person is, but you will only succeed in burying those thoughts only for them to return, usually in a worse way.
