All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I **** like you wanna ****, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.
The way I see it, murder and paedophilia have so many different motives: fear, lust, sympathy, revenge etc. there are also different versions of murder and paedophilia. This thread is asking a simple question for a complex answer, which cannot be done. If one would take an average on how bad they rate the different types of paedophilia and murder, then compare the two averages of murder and paedophilia they would get a simple answer...but you can't judge bad. So we're kinda stuck.
If one would say murder is worse than paedophilia, then you're saying that Euthanasia is worse than raping an 8 yr old orphan analy. Again, if you're saying Paedophilia is worse than murder, you're saying being atracted to a young teen is worse than killing a 7,000,000 jews, or rather, Bardock's worse than Hitler.
Re: Re: Re: What's worse: Pedophiles or Murderers?
Hmm..you make some interesting points. But I think the murder of one who is innocent and righteous - can have a far more beneficial affect on society, than the molestation of a child. Case in point -- you have heard of martrydom haven't you?(rhetorical question - no need to answer)

Hmm, what about passive Euthanasia, you didn't ask the person if they wanted to die, you just killed them because you thought it was best or did something that could've killed the victim but intentionally, it was for something else.

Meh, it is actually classified as murder in most legal systems. I just don't see how it would fit the actual description of murder.
Obviously raping an 8 year old is worse than helping a terminally ill patient die at their request. But I doubt that's the type of "murder" the topic is referring to.
in some situations you can assume everybody knows what you mean...
Sometimes it's not needed to explain everything thoroughly, it's like saying in my opinion at the end of every thing you say in a debate, completely useless because it's obviously your opinion.

Murder.
Pedophilia is a condition, a term to discribe sexual arousal caused by children. All Pedophiles don't go around raping kids, They could seek counseling and lead a normal life without ever breaking the law.
Murder is the act of killign someone. I would say an act is worse than a condition. The question almost doesn't even matter. Its almost like saying What is worse, schizophrenia or Grand Larceny?
