Are pedophiles good people?

They sure don't make good presidents.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

are pedophiles good people?

Well, depends.

Are they alive and breathing? Then, no.

Are they dead and not breathing? Then, no. But at least they are dead.

Does pedophiles imply sex offender?

Because there's some of them seeking help knowing they have a problem

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Because there's some of them seeking help knowing they have a problem

I think it's obvious we are not talking about those

[–] Soulg@ani.social 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pedophiles are suffering from a mental illness they didn't ask for.

Child sex predators however are bad people yes

[–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Finally someone said it. Being a pedophile doesn't make you a child rapist by default.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

not 100% sure now is the time to be pedantic about this topic

[–] DaGreenGobbo@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

Well we know which category Mr Trump inhabits.

Hunter Thompson served in the Air Force in the 1950s.

He said that the draft had good points, because it actually forced all sorts of people to work together.

At that time, you still had rich people who would send their kids to the Army.

[–] Revolver1864@piefed.social 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They put them into higher positions to avoid any meaningful danger.

By the 70's rich people figured out you could dodge the draft by bribing a doctor to say you had bone spurs. They were the Fortunate Sons

Now the same rich people can just say "nah he's too tall"

A lot of war is people's social betters reaffirming the nature of that relationship. The Vietnam era gave us the term fragging to describe the tension experienced between officers and the enlisted.

[–] Revolver1864@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

people’s social betters

I'm confused, you think these politicians and billionaires are better than a regular person living their lives the best they can?

I see these people as the cause of death and destruction in the pursuit of money and power at the command of a pedophile. They all need grenades at their feet.

I don't ascribe to a social hierarchy where:

There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect

These groups don't exist to the betterment of society, they are leeches that harm society to enrich themselves.

[–] DaGreenGobbo@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

I'm fairly sure that this was implied by what the user said. I expect they just didn't want to put scare quotes around the words.

Pretty sure the worms think they're good. And the plants think they're good once they get a taste of their compost.

"You can't taste pedophilia"

-a worm, probably

It says something that at the convention for Canada's National Democratic Party, being held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, the Premier of Manitoba is having to talk about the latest war the USA is waging.

Canadians don't get a vote on who becomes president, but everything the US does affects Canadians. When domestic politics is calm and stable, even during a national conference about Canada's political situation, the focus inevitably turns to the chaos south of the border.

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nobody mentioned Jews or Israel, but the bot farm jumps to defend them anyway.

Outing themselves again.

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 week ago

You HATE Pedophiles? WHY are you so Anti Semetic!

-AIPAC and The ADL!

[–] TheNeonGreek@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I don't disagree, but why is someone from Winnipeg talking about America?

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Because those political dumbasses south of the border are affecting Canada negatively. Gas already went up because of Ukraine and Russia now with Iran and Israel its gone up even more. All because the US is catering for the Israeli government.

Here's a CBC article with context

The premier made the comments a day after federal Defence Minister David McGuinty said Canada is considering sending vessels and cyber expertise to help secure the Strait of Hormuz if a ceasefire is reached.

Kinew said Canada has prided itself in promoting human rights across the world and that taking steps to end the war would be acting according to those values.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Because here in Canada we're directly influenced by the shit-stain South of us. And America is so corrupt and filled full of no one who has the balls to change anything, it takes foreign countries to call out the bullshit that is happening right now.

Basically, if Americans won't hold their own country accountable, the rest of us have to. We know America is basically 350 million cowards. The rest of the world needs to, once again, do the bare minimum for them.

[–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because there's no one from America you will believe.

[–] TheNeonGreek@piefed.social -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I believe a lot of Americans.

You mean the ones who voted for Trump twice? And want to vote for him again?

[–] jeniferariza@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That’s a bold statement—definitely going to spark a lot of debate.
