We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Might as well "cure" all of the active shooters by killing them too.
Wanting to kill people isn't a crime. Killing people is. Yeah, absolutely, I've got no problems shooting an active shooter if that's what it takes to stop the violence. I've got no problems sending child molesters to jail either.
Let me ask you something before I get into a discussion.
Is there a difference to you between someone who is afflicted with pedophilia and someone who acts on those urges?
Is there a difference between a mass murderer and a person that has an AR-15?
Thoughts are not actions. Words are not actions.
Not all--or even most, thank fuck--pedophiles are child molesters. Not all child molesters are pedophiles. Harm is not cause only by being sexually attracted to a child; harm is caused by acting on those feelings in some way, in any way. I've been attracted to a number of women in my life that were not attracted to me; I've sexually assaulted none of them.
See I fully agree with you. That's why I don't care about how google is phrasing things they way they are. End of the day, I want people who have this mental illness (but have self control!) to be able to get the therapy and treatment they need.
Sorry to be a kind of gatekeeper, other people on this comment section choose not to see a difference between having a problem and acting on the problem.
The problem is that pedophilia has such a stigma, people are worried they’ll be jailed, assaulted, etc.
I want people to get the help they need. That’s why the dsm v was trying to remove the stigma and clarify.
As a society we stigmatize people with mental health issues. Until we work to correct that, it’ll be hard for people to get help.
Unfortunate facts of today's society.
It is. It’s nothing new and I don’t know how to fix it.
People use words like homophobia and transphobic which further stigmatize mental illness.
Mental illness is something I’m passionate about but it don’t pay the bills. If someone break their arm, we treat them fairly. If someone has a mental illness, well we know how that goes.
We need to view mental illness like any other illness.
I like how you keep getting downvoted for no good reason
When you are a conservative, the trolls come out.
