You can't control what you're attracted to, you can control what you do about it.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Peter Gerald Scully is a prime example of why it is meant to hurt and humiliate. Torturing an 18 month old girl that he was certainly going to murder when he had made enough money. If you can find one scintilla of sympathy for him then I fell sorry for you.
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.

Don't know much of him but based on that very short synopsis, nah **** him.

yeah, I'm sure.

he copped it big time after that routine, accused of condoning paedophiles, so i thought of this thread.

You mean Gervais, right? Yeah, it's a pretty dark routine that arguably makes light of child abuse, but in the end I think you can file it safely under the category of jet black or shock humour.

While this is easy to say, i think most of us have had the experience of finding it very hard to do when the powerful drug testosterone is doing all the talking in the brain. i know nothing about the power of paedophile urges, but if they are as potent as other sex urges, then anyone who resists them for a lifetime is a person of great character. I assume that no one would choose to be like that, and I always feel sorry for someone of otherwise good character who has this sickness. Still, I am afraid it is essential that anyone who indulges it is sorrowfully punished and then the person concerned be helped.

Scully is a rather different category to the paedophile who hates his impulses. There is clearly another level of moral evil involved there. If he is certainly guilty, I would happily see him hanged (and no, I do not mean metaphorically).
