This is one of those takes that's so controversial I'm afraid to post it, which is exactly why I have to.

I neither endorse nor disavow this, and no, I'm not in the picture.

Yeah, they actually mention that in the article. And also that the most likely age for a person to abuse a child is 14, basically because they're new to not being a child themselves.

That kind of brings up another question: should we gas people that target kids just because they can, then? Not that there's really an effective way to filter out the actual pedophiles from the "pedos of convenience".

Molesting a kid is molesting a kid, your motives don't really change what happened. It is just as wrong regardless if it was out of convenience or premeditated. If you're willing to molest a child, you are a pedophile.

I think there are methods to filter them out - that's how we know most child molesters are not actual pedos. Personally, I'm against gassing anyone and I'm for the approach suggested in the article.
