What should be done to paedophiles?
The idea that people should be punished for a sexual preference that they have not acted on is the definition of thoughtcrime. No matter how reprehensible an desire is, unless it is acted upon or shows signs of being acted upon. All humans have violent urges, shall we punish all humans? Rape fantasies are common, should we punish them? The vast majority of pedophiles we are aware of are those who act on their desires. This doesn't mean there aren't pedophiles who don't act on those desires, after all, every other desire for something morally wrong can be kept inside the head. Side: nothing

You're probably aware of the case involving Jaycee Dugard. Phillip Garrido kidnapped her at the age of 11, raped her repeatedly, and held her captive in his backyard along with the children he fathered with her for nearly 20 years. He didn't kill any of them. I suppose in your mind, this means he's not deserving of life in prison either. Side: Glad I am not a truck driver
