The French Resistance operated in secret. All that means is that they're aware that other people think it's wrong. Which isn't the same as knowing that it is in fact actually wrong (if, as in the case of child molesting, it is).

Just like when someone who has stolen something tries to hide it, or who has killed someone, etc. Being aware that others think it is wrong, is not the same as accepting its wrongness oneself.

What the French Resistance did was objectively wrong. They killed and maimed and destroyed.

The critical difference between the French and other European Resistance networks and child molesters is that what the Resistance did was justifiable with clear goals.
Sexual assault, especially of children, is the perverse self-gratification by conquest or fraud.

What does the French Resistance have to do with this exactly? You want to try again without using a bad metaphor?

It's against the 8th amendment as well as just turning the law system into a revenge scheme. Justice system is ment for people to be punished not for revenge.

I believe that in order to not believe it to be evil you'd have to be insane. That said, castrating them is the wrong approach. Lifetime commitment to an insane asylum works just fine and avoids all the ethical issues. It'll also give us data on why they think the way they do, which is useful for catching and treating possible offenders early.

Look, I knew from a really young age that touching somebody without them consenting is Very Bad. Now, there might be a few truly deranged individuals who don't know. However, many do know, which is why they try to cover it up in the first damn place.

Calling them "insane" dehumanizes them unnecessarily. Some may indeed have mental illness (and even that is correctable, and once treated there's no reason to keep holding on to them); but for others it's simply a failure of the moral education they received in their youth--correct that failure, teach them the stuff they should have learned earlier but didn't, and they'll be good to go.

I knew from a really young age how to read. For those who are adults and don't yet know how to read, do we blame them or do we blame the shortcomings of the system that tried and failed to educate them?

Moral education is no different from practical or academic education. It's something that has to be learned, and we've found a system that works great (or well enough) for the vast majority of people, but there are a few edge cases who, through no fault of their own, the current system and methods of moral education can't quite reach. It's on us to find a method of teaching them that respects their dignity as human beings, since it's not their fault the existing general methods weren't suitable for them.

They did receive that education and yet choose to violate it, hence why they cover it up. If they didn't know better then they'd just do it, which is what the insane ones do.

I love how you ignore the rest of my post. Seriously, for the love of the fucking God I don't believe in, if they don't know it is wrong, why do they try to cover it up? If you can explain that, I might accept that they didn't know it was wrong. Problem being, you can't. And, clearly won't.

While a part of me actually likes the idea, it makes me feel uncomfortable to say the least. Then again, if the purpose of the criminal system is to prevent it happening again...you have a 0% re-offending rate. Then again, so does the Death Penalty and I'm not keen on that either
