Stupid people comment here: http://www.boingboing.net/2005/04/28/la_times_pedophilia_.html

Can we say slander? They bust one hardcore Trekkie who robs the cradle, so now all Trekkies are baby rapists? WTF?

[redmenace]

actually it is kinda depressing.

[Scuddie]

Agreed.  How dare they slander our good name!

[Dranon]

very sad...

[Taristin]

Ha! Get used to it! It's like how they ban all homosexuals as having aids, and all furs as being into beastiality!

[Carl]

ven diagrams.


most pedaphiles could be considered humans, but that doesn't mean that most humans could be considered pedaphiles. the same thing goes with trekkies.

no, just wrong in the head.

I agree that that comment was either overexaggerated or taken out of context.  After all, in the sentence before that one, they state that all of the officers in that unit are Trekkies too.

On a related note, that article was horrifying.  I couldn't even begin to imagine doing that job day after day, looking at those horrific images.  No punishment is too severe for the monsters who do these things.

most pedophiles have to be protected in jail.... the common criminals tend to be extra creative when those type of lawbreakers show up.....

Personally, i think they should all be shot.....

[WMCoolmon]

Here we go again.

i think the point was that the archetype of a pedophile generally has them living in a fantasy world. i dont see how anyone with any grasp of reality could commit such atrocities.

[karajorma]

This is idiotic. The officers are Internet saavy techies chasing down other internet saavy techies.

How many people do you know who fall into that category who aren't fans of Star Trek? Note that on the other page we find that he simply meant that they were fans of Trek not actual trekkies.

[Turnsky]

ah, baseless labelling of a group because of one member's action... wouldn't be the human race without it..

seeing as how people who believe such labels are complete utter idiots who need to exist for wasting people's time, and resources..

pity them, for they are uneducated morons who wouldn't know their arse from their elbow, and wouldn't know if either were on fire either.

That's debatable.

I live in a non-capital punishment country, and think that they should be shot.

[BlackDove]

Ah so finally the personalities of Trekkies all over the world has been revealed in that article.

Although when you actually think about it, I'm going to wager a guess that there are at least a few pedophiles here among us on HLP.

You know. Because people love Star Trek.

Well, i wouldn´t go that far, but i sure get a kick when i hear some pedophile got anally raped by an angry mob in jail. Kinda poetic justice...
Lots of them now answer to the name "ho", and all walk funny now.

I live in a non-capital punishment state that's currently considering bringing back capital punishment because of a recent child abduction and murder in my city. I think shooting the bastards is actually too good for them, and those convicted of murdering or raping children should be tortured to death.... the slower and more painful, the better.

edit: the bastard killed the kid to try to cover for his brother who raped her. dump em both in a vat of boiling acid already?

Or turn them over to a shrink who can analyze them, figure out what went wrong and find a way to stop it going wrong in other people?

There's a novel idea for you all. Actually find a prevention method that addresses why people do something, not what will happen to them once they have.

[Flipside]

This, of course means that Neil Armstrong, Steven Spielberg and Will Smith are all paedophiles? Not to mention Gene Rodenberry.

I wish people would think before opening their mouths sometimes.

Good luck!:D

Each individual is an universe for itself. A shrink can't really do or know much...
And besides, there could be millions of possible trigers for such behaviour..you can't find tham all. Nor prevent it. When you catch the guy it's allready too late...
I say shoot the bastardz.
