    A 42 year old Man wanting to carry the Relationship to the next level (Gay Marrage) with a 15 year old boy is Homosexuial Pedophelia .

    I would tend to agree with that from an emotional perspective. But a child is a specific biological description. And I am so biased on this issue as being a man and knowing how guys think, as teenagers and adults. If it were a 42 year old man with a 15 year old boy I wouldn't be opposed to the man serving time, even hard time, but I still wouldn't view the boy as a victim, more a sick perverted freak. But if it's a 42 year old man with a 15 year old girl I'd want the book thrown at him and I wouldn't think twice. This is one of those issues that's the least black and white and the ages (and if we're going to be honest, at least most of us men, the sexes) of both parties involved changes everything. Speaking for only myself and virtually every guy I have ever known, a 15 year old boy with a 42 year old woman (especially if attractive, hey blame human nature :)) would just make me think "what a pimp, he was trained well". And there are very good reasons for thinking this way too. For the most part a guy regardless of age is the one who makes all the moves sets the mood. So even though it's wrong for a 42 year old female former model highschool English teacher, for example, to fall for an underage player with a silver tongue, she still had to fall. If I had to make an iron law it'd be something like this:

    Any men over the ages of 30 who has sexual relations with underage females should serve life in prison with almost no exceptions (only exception I can think of is in case of a man with a mental condition that only allows him the maturity and life experience of a teenager, then I wouldn't know what to do, thank God I don't have to be a judge)

    Respectfully, I simply don't get the logic. 15 years old, is 15 years old, regardless of male or female.

    ...with the caveat, females of that age are thought to be more mentally mature.

    I don't get the logic that we're equal because we say so. Just because some educated fools put it down in law that doesn't change reality. I wanted to be "violated" by every attractive female teacher I had growing up, but it never came to fruition. Why? Well for one most of them probably were only interested in legal guys of their age (and older), were married, etc.. But I just didn't have that kind of "game". Had I been an attractive teenage girl I wouldn't require game, or skills, I'd just have to be attractive and coexist around some perverted man who used my trust and respect of an authority figure, naivety, etc to his advantage.

    I am sorry but when weight is applied your logic crumbles compared to mine in this instance. Saying "it's right because the law is the law and we're equal cuz it's the law and I said so" just makes zero sense and is more a reflection on our culture or bias infavor of equality for all regardless of facts, then anything else.

    Nearly making sense for once.

    I'm no expert, but I have heard that rape is all about power, so surely some pedos have other motives that just sex?

    Is there any evidence that chemical castration (whatever that is) would necessarily work?

    Surely there must be better alternatives.

    Anyway, most abuse is by parents etc and if that is a threat, it will make things worse, as kids wont tell on their dad if he says they will mutilate him. Same argument for prison of family members - counterproductive.

    The best way to reduce abuse is to make kids feel its ok to tell, and that it wont split up the family, let alone get dad castrated!

    Keeping them in custody would cost a bum though, far more than the average American's yearly wage.

    I think it would be cheaper to first castrate all of them, and then at the 2nd offence just put them on death roll.

    I think all repeat offenders should be castrated and then forced to work in fast food restaurants until retirement.

    I know I did but I wanted to find out how firm he was. Sometimes your feet don't feel the same when you're wearing someone else's shoes..

    No. They should be executed.

    it is not done happen because some consider it cruel and it marks the person for life, so they can never change who they were and move on. But i agree with the castration but i rather them be executed. No one of such corruptness deserves to live

    I disagree, I don't think cost should be a consideration here. And, I think more of these miserable perverts ought to be put down for what they've done and the number of their victims...

    I'm not big on picking on children and the defenseless. Anyone who can lay hands on another person to do them harm is already in a different class as far as I'm concerned; and should be treated way more harshly.

    Here it is again.

    'I have a better idea altogether, but I'm afraid that it appears to be rather controversial, perhaps because some get hysterical about it, before they maturely think about it.

    In short - It has been shown time and again that animal experiments, esp for medications that are intended for human benefit, are not only cruel, not only do they have a v poor success rate (some even consider it almost pseudo science), but it has often been dangerous to humans, since drugs are released onto the market that tested well in an animal that is not human.

    Different animals react differently to different drugs and trials. What may be safe on a chimp, turns out to have a very different reaction, in time, with humans.

    Moreover, there are likely many potentially benefical drugs not on the market yet, because to gain the required licences, they need to go through a long procedure of animal testing, which, as I have touched on, is often flawed anyway.

    I do not believe that serious sex offenders, and those predisposed to sex with minors is something that can be cured or counselled out of them.

    I do not believe that it is worth keeping them in a conventional prison.

    I do not believe that they can ever be considered safe, not even those that begin by viewing child porn.

    In the worse examples, those in which they abduct, abuse, and even kill the child, I would say that hanging is a waste really, sure it kills that one person, eye for an eye, but what a waste of a good potential human body. One that could be studied, to try to see if we can find a cure i the future, but moreover, a good specimen, so that drugs, for example, for Leukemia could be tested.

    Imagine if in doing this, a brilliant breakthrough that helped improve the life of tens of millions of kids who had (whatever)?

    It would be better than having quickly executing the person.

    It would be better than just putting them in prison.

    It would be better than just letting them out again.

    Of course, these trials would be done in a controlled environment, with strict conditions and regulations, for the idea is to conduct serious trials, on the worse of offenders, for the benefit of mankind, so that through their miserable life, perhaps some good can be found.

    It is NOT intended as a means of torture, nor is it to be extended to anyone beyond the most serious cases of this type of crime.

    Before anyone suggests that it would, you have the DP in the US, and that is reserved ONLY for the more serious of cases, isn't it?

    It has not been extended to include gays, white, blacks, or Jews, just for being so, has it?

    Nor need this.'

    That's good with me, let me propose a new solution: if the state is running on a short budget, the judge can discretionally bypass the castration option and order an expedited execution. Nobody should spend money on bullies/child molesters.

    The more interesting question is probably that molested children will grow up to be the next generation of child molesters. This is why some countries in history, such as the Roman Empire, executed the victims of the molestation too. See Emperor Caligula's orders to execute all child sex slaves. Caligula was himself a former child sex slave for a period of time before he was pushed into power.

    As long as "child molesters" refers to people who actually molest children, and not some 20-year-old dude with a 15-year-old girlfriend or whatever.
