The difference is an entire universe. Pedophiles seek power and control over another being, over someone else's personality. Their target is a victim. They do not see a relationship other than exploitation by them.
Homo***uality may involve some of the above but only if there is an element of pedophilia also present.
Only on NCM can you have a thread that starts as a tribute to a young man with depression, taking his own life and then someone turning it into an argument about child abusers.
No decorum, no shame
No Sid... it was the insinuation by the Russian that somehow mental illness and pae_do_philia are intrinsically linked. His first comment stated that he didn't like Linkin Park and therefore he didn't need to comment on this thread. My old mum used to say... "if you've got nothing good to say... say nowt".
For what it's worth... my son (21) was killed in Newark in April. He was of course a big Notts supporter, his coffin was draped in Notts scarves and the music that was played at his funeral was Linkin Park... Numb.
I could of course go on about the depression I've suffered, the suicidal thoughts that I've had, the counselling, the medication.... but of course, it's all in my head and I should man up, I guess.
