What's worse: Pedophiles or Murderers?

Using words like "tard" are not helping your case. What is your area of study?

Something along those lines, yes.

i personally think that moral value, has more say in the case of pedophilia or murder, than what a judge would have to say. murder can be commited for a number of reasons:

one: anger

Two: a bad impulse

Three: sadism

and so on and so forth, but pedophilia, is a cowardly attack, abusing the undeveloped judgement of a kid, and... you get the picture, so i would have to say, pedophilia is worse

I have Bachelors with honors in computer science specializing in programming and design. I have also studied biology, physics and astronomy with many interests in most of the other sciences. I have always had a keen interest in learning all types of subjects such as Vet medicine from my wife, Law from my sister and many other subjects from friends and family as well as learning from many knowledgeable people on this forum and internet.

Your sister is in Law? Has she passed the bar yet? What area does she plan to go into?

Murder is frequently a cowardly attack on a person who is helpless.

Correction if I may... 😊

what I was just sitting here wondering is through the same legal system that you speak pf starhalk... what about the severity of the crime.. obviously there is no reason an adult should touch a child in a sexual manner... but ... what if he just touches the childs no-no spots vs. penetration of sorts...

and then I turn to the murder cases... their are different reasons for which someone could commit such a crime.. including self defence, planned or accidental murder ... etc....

same punishment, execution?

forgive me if you answered this ... I may have over looked it.

to the best of my understanding, pedophilia is a compulsion. It would probably be best described as a cross between homosexuality and serial killer, in that, they are likely predisposed naturally to be attracted to children and have psychologically uncontrollable compulsions to act out on these urges.

Not trying to justify their motivations at all, I just don't necessarily see them as being as evil as some murderers. For instance, the killing of the person who raped your underage daughter is probably far more morally justifiable than the rape itself, whereas a very gruesome and random murder is much less moral than some of the more gray region cases of pedophilia.

I have already told you this before but you seem to have a very short memory, she graduated in the top 10% of her class from Cornell and she was specializing in corporate law and yes passed the bar, my cousin-in-law is a defense attorney in Seattle.

I could never go into civil law nor would I practice as a defense attorney. I intend to devote my career to being a federal prosecutor.

lol. An aside about the educational credentials stuff

I don't think a whole lot of emphasis should be put on how many degrees people have and in what. Some of the smartest people I know barely made it out of high school. The most well read person I know makes bongs for a living.

Also for a measure of intellectual honesty, I am only a neuroscientist in the most technical of ways. I do work as a research assistant to one of my profs in a perception lab at my university, and thus am a practicing neuroscientist. However, in reality I am just a 2nd year honors psych student.

I've always wanted to learn more about neuroscience, I have read a bit but it was alway intresting.

I can live with that. LOL

I think it's worthy of note that outside of crime I am a democrat.
