Anyone watching this? Beeb Two now, disturbing but interesting.

Aye but about to sod off and finish making tea. It is interesting though.

Gonna iplayer watch it later,sounds like a barrell of laughs.

A neighbour of mine caught some guy downloading kiddie porn in a library yesterday. He kept him there until the police turned up!

Louis Theroux picks some odd places to go for an interview doesn't he.

I hope he gave him a couple of bruises in the process

crap. I was really looking forward to this but forgot it was on. I'll set it downloading and watch it tomorrow.

Theroux is brilliant at letting people get the worst out of themselves, I'm interested on who'll come out worse in this, the peado's or the 'system'.

Well that made for an uncomfortable hours viewing.

I didn't really see the point of it

In what way?

You could say the same for a lot of Louis Theroux's documentary things, but it's interesting how he highlights peoples odd behaviour by letting them get on with it.

I just got the impression the programme was made simply to be taboo, rather create an interesting programme, which Louis Theroux documentaries usually are.

Fair enough. I haven't seen it yet so can't really comment. I did think his last two where he was following along with the police and stuff in America and then South Africa were pretty dull.

I've never really enjoyed anything he's done to be honest.  My girlfriend fancies him though, which is a bit weird.

I didnt think it was very Louis Theroux to be honest.

Normally when he interviews horrible people he seems to unearth an unexpected spark of humanity in them,probably the subject matter but I certainly didnt feel any of that .

Well I guess I'll wait until tomorrow to watch it, inbetween snooker sessions. Night y'all.

Fully agree.

I thought it wasn't too bad, some interesting questions raised regarding are there any solutions other than incarceration for these sorts. It seemed like not to me.
There was a documentary on More 4 last week called 'Deliver us from Evil' about a catholic priest in California that was convicted as a paedophile but protected by the Church to avoid scandal and now is wandering around as a free man in Ireland, now this was uneasy viewing !

There is an interview with him in the Radio Times. He said they were really careful when they edited the programme, especially to take out anything that people might of viewed as him being funny. A pity as I think they just ended up taking everything out that makes his approach so unique and interesting.

Does anyone know what jailbait means? i think it has to do with peodophiles

louis-why are you in here?
pedotype- date rape (whilst stirring drink)...you guys want to try some? (nervous laughter)

hehehehehehe

I thought it was interesting seeing the different stages the offenders were at. The majority seemed to still be in total denial - all of the ones he talked to that had refused the treatment programme came across as feeling they hadn't done anything wrong. Some seemed to be still coming to terms with what they had done whilst the remainder had fully accepted it and were doing everything they could to sort their problems out and get back to a normal life.

They made an interesting point that whilst most people agree / accept they need to be released when they are better, no one wants them living nearby which makes finding housing near impossible. Also worth remembering that all of them had actually served their full prison term and that rather than being released they had been put in there instead.

I haven't watched this yet but the reviewer in Metro basically slated it saying he thought Louis couldn't put aside his own predjudices and do proper reporting. He said the peados were basically treated worse than serial killers and instead of do the crime = do the time it was do the crime, do the time then keep doing time indefinitely.

Also he said it made no attempt to differentiate between someone who was there for having sex with a 15 year old and someone who had been molesting little kids.

These cunts should not get the air time.

Is peadohila an illness or a decision?

I don't know about the word illness... people have a predisposition to it due to genetics and\or childhood - but at the end of the day there's always decision isn't there?!

Some of it is decision i reckon but obviously you get the very mentally ill who do not have a clue what they are doing imo.

Well if for example someone has the mental age of a child themselves and aren't very aware the implications they get treated differently by courts.

Also, do you think they take into account if someone was abused themselves when they do sentencing? They probably do.

Is being homosexual an illness or a decision?

At the end of the day even if you do fancy children, it is up to you whether you shag them or not.

Well they should'nt take it into consideration. I would imagine more people who were abused never offend its just an exuse break the cycle and all that.

Don't give me all that left wing crap and try and justify the actions of peados. Are you a social worker?

I hate it when people like you side with the pedos and not with the kids I suppose you want to rehabilitate the pedo scum and if little boys and girls get ass raped in the process you will just say "well pedos are people and they have human rights too".

Go on piss off back to your tofu sandwiches :bye:

It was question,nowhere did I give a point of view.

You are implying that peados are not responsible for their actions. Which means you are you saying that you think it might be alright >:(

Can you read?

Classic paedo tactic to try and take a view which will hide their peadoing.

nothing implied,its a QUESTION.

yeovil dresses up as a school!

Peadoing :D what a great word.

I would.

No boys?

From the image that came with that comment (i havn't included it in the quote because its out of order) you are implying that yeovil blue is a peado..awesome.

don't know what the worlds come to if someone can't ask a valid question without getting called someone out of order! to be quite honest i think its perfectly valid for paedophilia to be a mental illness. in no means do i mean its OK,just some people are unlucky enough to have an illness than makes them a child abuser.

and yes,im going to piss off to my tofu sandwiches.

Searching for pictures of school girls were we? Or was it from your own collection?

Peado.

What an irrelevant and horrible comment.  Aligning homosexuality and paedophilia is inexcusable.  If homosexuality is not a decision that doesn't mean it's an illness.  Do you feel the same way about gay people as you do about paedophiles?  And no, I'm not what some on here would call a Tofu eating, sandal wearing hippie - but let's think before we express these kinds of comments.

That is all.

Grow up you fucking twat. Of course I'm not aligning gays and peados. I'm pointing out that you can't choose who or what you are attracted to - it doesn't work like that.

I apologise if I misconstrued your comments.  It read to me like you were comparing the two.  Obviously it was my mistake and again, I apologise.

I was hoping for a decent forum slanging match there... :D

Sorry mate, can't do decent slanging matches - always lose...

To be honest guys its a shit thread....its a vile subject really,i like to have a laugh about anything but not this.

Can you give us some examples of other risqué topics which you are willing to have a laugh about leefer?

Not every thread is about having a laugh. Theres been a little bit of discussion on here (altho tbh not much). You don't have it.

Personally I think the only way there will be some progress on the whole paedo issue is if we as a society can get beyond the initial "yuk" reaction and actually get a better understanding of it and have a proper discussion on the issue that goes beyond people just saying "all paedos should have their dicks cut off\be locked up forever".

Imo there needs to be help available for people who feel they are in danger of acting badly towards a kid and I saw an ad in a paper recently which was offering support for those who had suffered abuse or thought they might be in danger of acting badly and I thought that was good.
