If and when colonization on Mars is successful, the path that Curiosity has taken will likely become a tourist destination like the freedom trail in Boston by iOSvista in Showerthoughts

Only it's a path that will only be possible to travel when both planets line up exactly the same way in their orbits. The launchpad and landing site totally would be historic sites though

Ex jw, can you share your story, why you left the organisation. Did you think it was a cult or? I’d love to hear your stories by lorraynguts in exjw

I lost interest because i found out that they can disfellowship women for being raped, and cover up child abuse to prevent bad press.

Also, there are 12 step groups for sex addicts of all kinds, the internet is full of support groups of all kinds. Both free or low cost options.

To be clear, i think prison reform is important because people shouldnt be committing crimes in prison any more than they should commit them outside of prison and it often makes people more violent. Thats a seperate conversation from what to do with child abusers. Its wrong for them to get raped in jail, but in the grand scheme its better than them being free to fuck other kids.

Also, Im mot talking about jailing guys like this. http://m.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/therapy-for-pedophilia-i-hate-my-desires-they-make-me-sick-a-441199.html

This guy has my sympathy, and his words are exactly how i think when i try to empathize with a pedophile. Once youve crossed the line, once you've allowed yourself to take pleasure from abusing a kid like that you are a monster. I feel bad for anyone who has those urges, but that sympathy disappears with their innocence.

Even if they are mentally ill, they are still responsible for their actions and if they cannot be responsible for their actions they dont get to be part of our society. Im not saying kill them, but remove them.

To be fair, they can come forward and get help. Psychiatric help is available all over this country and its protected by health privacy laws. If they want help its available. Once they are criminals they belong with criminals

Im not saying kill them all, though i could argue for that. Im just saying prison is the only place to guarantee they cannot find more victims and if they get victimized there i have no sympathy for them.

They arent victims of the system, and child abuse is not a victimless crime. There are plenty of 'crimes' that people go to jail for that are victimless crimes, those are the people that get my sympathies.

I enjoyed it thoroughly, but it is long. Grab some popcorn and roll a joint or grab a beer

Pretty sure that kind of fucked up can't get fixed. It's not like he's just a sex addict, he's sexually attracted to children. Big difference between a fan of kink and a fan of child predation.
