Heya^^
It's 6:53 AM
I've been awake since around 4:30 AM. Isn't life fascinating like that? I like to think so.
Anyway, onto a different topic. As some of you may or may not know, I have a perticular distaste and hatred for pedophiles and the like. I think they should all burn in hell^^ And no, I don't mean that with sarcasm. I think children should be children. Children are very precious, and should never be subjected to any sort of sexual or physical abuse.
I myself, have never been sexually abused, but I do feel quite strongly about the topic, specifically for children. That's just how I am.
I hope this is okay, but I'm going to post some YouTube links here. Hey Timmy, is this okay? *hugs*

The above link is from the Steve Wilkos show. I first saw Steve on the Jerry Springer show, and I had no idea that he had his own show until yesterday actually. Watch it if you like. I actually haven't seen the whole thing through myself.
Anyway, that's it for now guys!
Talk to ya soon!
Peace!

Josh,
Hurting children physically or mentally is repulsive. The same goes for hurting adults. But it is irresponsible to condemn someone based on a nebulous label like pedophile. If the decision were up to me, I couldn't condemn anyone to hell.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!
Ps 133:1 NASB

Hi, Josh, I would like to know what you think a pedophile is. I'm interested because I think that a great many laws are wrong in part in the way they specify what behaviour is prohibited.
I have no doubt that great harm can be done to a child by an adult using that child for the adult's sexual enjoyment, but the problem is all in the details. When does a child stop being a child and is there a stage after childhood before a person becomes an adult?
It seems to me that in some places the law says that while a couple are both 15 that's OK then while one is 16 and the other still 15 then they would be breaking the law (and the 16-year-old is a pedophile) and then when they are both 16 things are OK again.
That seems to me a situation that would bring the law into disrepute - most people would rightly say "That's stupid". I think most of us would be able to think of circumstances which the law would condemn but which we would not condemn.
In other words there are many bad laws or laws with bad parts to them. When I grew up the law prescribed that people like me that had sex with other men or boys should go to prison. There are still many provisions of today's laws that are equally unjust and ought not to be obeyed. And since the government makes new laws with quite indecent haste and lack of care there are probably more unjust laws now than there were when I was a child.
I didn't get caught and didn't go to prison, but I undoubtedly broke the law. Do you think I did wrong? Do you think I ought to have gone to prison? Do you think that in the years between then and now some magic has happened that makes today's laws fair and just when they used not to be?
Surely there a lot of laws that are too harsh or unfair and how to tell between those that one should obey and those one should ignore is not easy. And, of course there is a lot of room for disagreement - in Europe we mostly are agreed that the law should prohibit private citizens from having guns - in the USA you don't and have Columbine.
How does one tell the difference between what is right and what is wrong?
Love,
Anthony

Hey Anthony.
How's you today. I'm fucked in the head, thanks for asking.
In my view, a pedophile is someone who gets pleasure out of kids, and wants to abuse them sexually. That's my definition of a pedophile. There's no right or wrong answer, but that's mine. I don't have any respect for them at all, and I do think they should burn in hell. And I'm slightly pissed off to boot. Would you like some coffee?
I think that when a child has grown up enough to understand the world around him or her, and can make choices for themselves, that's when they're not a child anymore. I'm not talking about adults, just teenagers. And I hope I don't offend anyone by what I write in this letter. If I do, just imagine me being burned, while you watch in enjoyment. I'm sure it would be a nice fantasy.
I'm against teen's having sex. And when I say a teenager, I mean 13-17. 18 is the legal adult age, but even then, if you're not acting like an adult, you aren't one. It doesn't matter if you're of age or not. That's what I think.
It's not my place to say whether I think you should go to prison. I do think you did wrong. Children are innocent, and are not toys by any means....
And I'll leave it there for now.
I can't think of anything bad to say, so I'll leave it.
I didn't mean to offend anyone by writing this.
Kinda had an off day. I get that way sometimes.
Take care.

Dear Josh,
I'm not happy that you think I did wrong! I don't think I did. If I had had sex with boys who were much younger than me then that might have been wrong but I didn't. I don't know that I've ever had sex with someone younger than me. And the first time I had sex with anyone at all I was nineteen years old! Surely that makes me a late developer and not a wrong-doer!
Do you still think I did wrong?
Love,
Anthony

Hey Anthony
Sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I'm sorry. I don't think you did wrong. I hate judging people. Please don't be mad at me. You're a good person. I had no right to say those things about you.
Forgive me.
~Josh~

I wasn't that upset, Josh. More amused that you should read what I didn't do into what I had said.
I'm not the least bit cross with you but I admit I thought I'd not tell you that while you were suggesting I had done wrong.
Love,
Anthony
