It is illogical to assume that someone would choose to be a pedophile. Why anyone would elect to be something that is almost universally despised is beyond me.

i don't really buy pre-determined sexual fetishes. i'm not saying it's impossible but i woundn't assume it to be true just based on the determination of the person with the fetish. every other part of our personality seems to be shaped by outside influences, why would sexuality be any different then any other character trait?
Uhhh, yeah...people do that all the time. Some people love negative attention. However, I don't think pedophiles would be that type. They love violating the innocents for some reason. I've heard looong and in depth reasons for the reasons, but most of it is lost to my memory. Who knows if those reasons are correct?
I was making more of a general statement. Zeal was obviously NOT talking generally but his statement was general. I thought it important to put out there that some people love and crave negative attention. It's possible that there could be a pedo out there who loves people being afraid of him...but I don't know of any.
Again, stupid assertion. It's possibly (some) people watch it to be informed or find it humorous without having a "sick hatred", as you put it. I also find it funny that you classify someone who happens to hate pedophiles as being inherently "sick". Very odd.
Another extremely funny point, you claim "everyone should be treated with respect", yet you have shown utter disdain/disrespect for people like GW Bush, Republicans and several others which don't come to mind right now. It seems you really have no idea what you're going on about and are just ranting.
The act of pedophilia really angers me, one thing is defiling an adult and another is a child. To what extend will thee entire human race actually sit there and go: "Okay, this time they've gone too far!" Since pedophilia is actually backed up by many.
What I'm saying is it's wrong to exploit people for being a sick ****, and I don't like people who enjoy seeing sick people getting caught because they're what they are.
My point is that leagality doesn't make something moral or not.
Okay, I'll admit there are people who find it humourous or want to be informed. And I do treat republicans etc with respect, I still hate them. I hate the paedophiles too, but I wouldn't make a show about them where they're exposed and are portrayed as sick, whether you think they are or not, it's just not right to do that to someone, no matter who they are.
It should be pointed out that internet predator actions are not likely to occur with a child younger than a teenager. It's not the same as a 5 year old child who TRULY has no idea what is going on.
Doesn't make it any better for the man but my point remains that the teenager is not all that naive. Legally, that have no responsibility but they do know what is about to happen.

It can become an act though, and that is what he is talking about. There is nothing illegal about thinking about sex with a child- its when you download the porn or act on it by perusing a child that you break the law.
No one's exploiting them. They're exploiting themselves, ironically, while attempting to exploit someone else. If they made the right decision then there'd not be a show. They drive themselves to the house, enter, and attempt to engage what they think is an underage girl. Every time they dig themselves into the situation. The show simply supplies the location and a chair, the pedos do the rest.
And frankly, legality is just about the only objective benchmark for morals for the time in which the laws are in place. They show that a large number of people think that the illegal act in question is unwanted in their society. And frankly, taking advantage of children and having sex with them is completely and logically immoral. You may not agree, but the law still must be obeyed. If not, then you knowingly accept the consequences.
And again, they're not portrayed as anything that they're not. They show up, get caught, then they just answer a bunch of question. If it comes across as if they're sick, that's also their doing, since they're the ones doing the talking.
