What's worse: Pedophiles or Murderers?

Given the option I would rather eat ice cream 😛

Well yes that is a given, but if you are trying to say things are fact you must give some evidence of it unless you state that it is your opinion.

To keep it on topic, would you rather be raped by ice cream or killed by ice cream? 🙂

depends on how ice cream would kill me....and how gentle it would be.

I'm going to say that my gut feeling is that rape is just morally worse. I have major issues with authority and whatnot, so that probably plays a factor in my choice, and the violation thing is completly unforgiveable.

However, ofcourse, when put to any objective cost benefit scenario, murder is far more pragmatically evil.

The few seconds before I read the second part of your post, I was going to reply with "and murder isn't completely unforgivable?"... I understand your gut feeling though, you just don't want to be corn-holed. 😛

Doesn't quite make sense.

Oh, is that one of those cases where "quite" could be substituted with " " ?

Y-yes.

both

The fact we are even asking "which is worse" is stupid. Both are bad. The question has no real definition to it.

Worse for you (/as a child)? Worse for him? Worse for her?

Sure it does, and both being "bad" has no relevance to one being worse. E.G., would you rather lose your left or right arm? While both being bad, losing your right arm would be worse if you happen to be right handed.

Making it a dumb question

The initial wording of the thread was poor, but it has come a long way since that. i.e., which is worse [child] rape or murder. Yes, both are bad, but not equal.

I would not say equal but it is hard to gauge which is "worse". Both of these have to include factors beyond the initial act to be judged properly because even child molestation could be considered worse if one does not have those around them to nurture them afterwards. "Hell on Earth" sort of thing.

Like stated before, putting in factors, especially extremes, one can sway the argument any which way. 'Would you rather be raped so brutally; you end up as a paraplegic or be murdered painlessly in your sleep?' Obviously 'murder' seems the the better choice there, if one had to happen. So, for integrity's sake, it's just "rape" or just "murder".

Just including the act, one has no choice but to say pedophilia because the person is still alive and is capable of getting over it.

That is not doing the decision justice though.

Did we settle that we are talking about unconsented sexual actions with a child ( like 10 and lower or something)?

what's sicker. a stranger molesting a child he doesn't know, or an uncle molesting his neice?

Wait, why are people saying "Both"?

I understand child worship (No, I don't really.) but that's no reason to say paedophilia is as bad as murder, and then there are the people who won't admit the obvious worse choice because they feel it would somehow make them pro-paedo of something.

Haha, tor-paedo. Remember that pun for later use.
