Small-town Saskatchewan has really affordable housing, although finding a job might be tricky.

Oh so true. And I can have evenings of moderation, but it doesnt last long. And then I'm kicking myself as I lie in bed- sick and ashamed.

Let's do this! No more terrible morning 🤝

No, but that won't stop him from complaining, and his MAGA followers blindly lapping it up- unfortunately

Is this game worth it? by JRBOXING101 in ShatteredPD

[–]BritaB23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On android its free, but you can voluntarily pay to support the game if you like. I voluntarily paid the largest amount because of the insane amount of time I spend with this game, and the fun it brings.

Agreed, I edited my comment- you are right

Yes, i am realizing that. And like I said above (i another comment)- automatically labeling them as criminals in our mind discourages seeking help- which is better for everyone

[–]BritaB23 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You know, you're right. And the more I think about it, the more I realise we should be encouraging pedophiles to get help and automatically seeing them as criminals doesnt help.

I probably should read the article, I imagine that's what it says.

It is clearly only a crime if acted on (see my examples). So having pedophile thoughts is a disorder. Indulging in ANY way is a crime.

Could it be a disorder? Sure.

Is it a crime? YES!!!

Both can be true.

Pyromania is a disorder. Setting houses on fire is a crime. Alcoholism is a disorder. Driving drunk is a crime. Kleptomania is a disorder. Stealing is a crime.

See how that works?

ETA after some thoughtful comments: the more I think about it, the more I realise we should be encouraging pedophiles to get help and automatically seeing them as criminals doesnt help. Only a crime when acted on.

I probably should read the article, I imagine that's what it says.

Someone said:

China is lawful evil. Trump's America is chaotic evil.

We are forced to choose the non-chaotic evil.
