No I’m not.
You are conflating people not being bad, being thus good.
They don’t automatically become good people, just because they are not bad.
There is a whole range between being a good human being, and being a bad human being. People “just not acting out” what they would like, and seeking help doesn’t make them GOOD people. It probably makes them “not bad people”, but only in this specific case.
Where did I say they were bad? Or is this the Christian world view where you are either “good” or “bad” and nothing in between exists?
That does not make them good people.
Edit: continue downvoting, pedo apologists. If they say “sorry” do they become good people? You guys have a too low barrier for being good, being good needs more than not being a pedophile.
That was an interesting read. Especially the “third wave”.
We so often forget that the USA became a superpower because everyone else was totally crushed in the WW2, so they could just scoop it all up afterwards (which they absolutely did as much as they could).
It seems like things are changing back. History will tell, but the USA is only liked because of its dominance, not because of its morals. IMO. And USAnians have to figure out why “it is not working anymore” (hint: you were lucky and greedy in the fifties, but the luck has ran out since a long time), so good luck to you, it’s usually a bit excruciating, but most countries figure it out.
My illyness, my sillyness!
We seem to agree about everything? Or so I think.
Even the idea that acting against your natural urges is the ultimate goodness.
But you don’t know that, many pedophiles might just do it to fit in in society, they got caught up in the help process (or whatever reason), and not for some empathic reason. There are obviously both IMO, hence the not bad doesn’t automatically mean good.
It is quite interesting how people want to believe everyone is sort of baseline good (or so I feel), which is nice I guess!
Cheers
