I don't get it...

Hey, how's it going?

* Sits down and takes sip of lemonade, and grabs a cookie *

Yeah, so basically I just came here because I wanted to warn her about the dangers of the internet

Yeah, I have booze and condoms in my drunk, but that's for a party I'm going to later

I said that?  I don't remember saying that ... my buddy uses my computer sometimes so it might have been him.  I know it's wrong for me to be talking to minors

Listen, I've never done anything like this before and I never will again.  I was just trying to help, but I can see now how there can be a misunderstanding

So yeah, we cool?  Can I go home now?  Oh, right out that way?  Alright awesome

* Takes bite of cookie and heads out front door whistling *

Lol

Are you saying it's "uncivilized" to name and shame pedophiles?

I'm saying it's uncivilized to publicly ridicule anyone. Ever.

Pedophilia is also uncivilized and outright disgusting - I'd say that the public ridicule and shaming of a single person is well justified if it prevents that person or others like them traumatising little children via acts of pedophilia.

An eye of an eye in that context seems to be talking about revenge, not justice. The idea of public shaming and humiliation should not be rooted in revenge for the victim, but in punishment for the perpetrator, with the aim of acting as a deterrent for repeat offenses in the future.

I don't see how doing something uncivilized to someone who did something uncivilized is any different from revenge, or out of context in the least. They should be sent to prison, not publicly humiliated. Prison is supposed to be the deterrent.

So pedophiles are poor innocent victims of society now, and anyone that feels they deserved to be punished for their actions so as to deter others from committing such heinous acts is merely a bully on a power trip?

Why is it so hard for you to comprehend that people should be treated civilly no matter what they do? If someone killed everyone I knew and loved, I would have no right to kill him, just as he had no right to kill them. Two wrongs don't make a right, no matter the severity of the wrongs. -4000 plus -5 is still -4005, no matter how much you want it to be 0.

Two wrongs do not make a right, we in agree in that respect. However, when someone commits a crime, then they must be punished for their actions - and generally the punishment given, if it were to be served to an innocent person, it would be viewed as a gross violation of their rights.

People have a right to freedom as well, however when they commit a crime, they are, depending on the severity, usually sent to prison. Yes, punishment, if viewed in a disconnected manner removed from the crime, often appears unjust, which is why legal systems should work to ensure that the punishment fits the crime.

Yes, shaming someone can be viewed as cruel - but that's why it should be reserved for those that commit particularly offensive crimes, such as rape, murder, and pedophilia. Imprisonment can also be viewed as cruel, but it's done, and acts to both deter and punish the offender.

Imprisonment is taking life away as a punishment. Shaming in any form, such as public flogging, defaming, or humiliating, is an eccentric and outdated form of punishment akin to torture. To use it in today's society is (for a lack of a better word) barbaric.

I fail to see how it is any more barbaric than imprisoning someone. Agree to disagree I suppose =)

Imprisonment is the only form of punishment developed so far that is universal and not physically harmful in and of itself. It is therefore the most civilized form.
