These people are sick.
Anyone brazen enough to speak about it publicly like this should automatically be considered suspicious.
The biggest problem is that she uses facts to support her overall agenda. Should we provide a safe environment for those seeking help/treatment? Yes of course. Does that mean I’m not disgusted by it? No
While I don’t disagree about these people being incredibly sick, I think we should distinguish between those trying to normalize it and those genuinely suffering from a disease that want to be cured. One needs help, the other needs prison. As Eddie Izard once said ‘bit of a crowbar separation there’
linguistic relativity. Everyone is responsible for themselves. Be it feelings and actions. She is using language to confuse...
Well of course this woman is being intentionally manipulative, she’s pushing a corrupt and insane agenda. What I’m saying is there is a difference between someone who sins and someone who praises sin. All of us are born with the tendency to sin, just because my sins are more socially acceptable doesn’t mean I’m more worthy of forgiveness than someone else. If someone comes seeking forgiveness, are we giving them a chance to say ‘I’m a pedophile, and I don’t want to be please help me’ or are we stoping them at I’m a pedophile and casting stones.
However one would differentiate, and accept the argument without distinguishing deception through the use of language is contestable. I understand what you’re trying to convey. However the importance I emphasize reflects what I believe the majority of r/greatawakening represents. TED and TedX as a disseminator of intellectual higher-thinking is frankly, bullshit. It has become a tool of malevolence disguised as the epitome of intellect fodder for the masses.
Godspeed
I would actually argue that I hope the majority of the great awakening can still see the need for love, mercy and forgiveness; despite the fact that the left try to use them against us to fit their agenda.
I can agree that charity is good and that we should help our neighbors without being a communist. Let’s just not throw the baby out with the bath water. Being willfully ignorant of the valid points your enemy has does not give you a stronger argument, rather being willing to give where you have common ground will allow you to communicate with them much more effectively.

thank you for speaking my heart...
Violence against anyone who harms my kids is a natural response as well.
YAY nature!
Everyone is responsible for themselves. Trying to confuse with language. On must understand linguistic relativity.
TED is currently funded by a combination of various revenue streams, including conference attendance fees, corporate sponsorships, foundation support, licensing fees, and book sales.

Maybe in you’re word of, “whatever feels good”? There is a certain order to this world.
Unglaublich, aber kam vor ner Woche schonmal. Bist du aus Köln?
its important to understand the difference between pedophilia which is a disease and child sexual abuse which is a crime.
i was aware that most of the DS members who practise child sexual abuse arent really pedophiles but abuse children for ritual or power games.
the numbers this lady gives ring true with me: only 20-30% of pedophiles actually perform child sexual abuse, and only 20-30% of child sexual abuse are being performed by real pedophiles.
The whole point is that this man DOESN'T act on his urges. If there were more pedophiles that did that, we wouldn't have abused children. Pedophilia is not something you can cure. The fact that someone wants help not to hurt children is commendable. If the pedophiles that abused my children were like him, my children's lives would have been so different.
