Fantasy, Reality... and a step too far

You are sat next to your best friend, the one you have idolised for their rebellious and humorous nature. The way that you two get along is incredibly close and at the age of ten, you both do not have a care in the world.

It's the whole thrill of being a few minutes late for school that pleases you. Mainly it is because of the jokes you and your friend laugh loudly about afterwards. You feel bigger than the world, greater than superman. You feel like you can take on anything. Even if your parents find out and shout at you, even when you are startled and emotional about the experience, it was still amazing.

Do you see anything evil about the above story? A bit mischievous and naïve but think carefully, that more than likely is yourself in the past. Nothing wrong with it... not really. Just an immature game, like watching movies you're not supposed to, like skipping school, like hanging round in places you're not supposed to because curiosity got the better of you.

Nothing wrong with a little thrill once in a while. Problem is, to a child, curiosity can lead to thrill killing a toddler.

When I speak of this, I speak of the gruesome murder that shocked the nation of Britain. I have read up upon it, to the comments that are thrown out about the two that were once named Robert Thompson and Jon Venables.

How their sentences should be longer.

Their names should be revealed.

They should be hung.

Deserve to die.

Deserve what's coming to them.

Evil has a fickle way of working. It creeps into a human mind and places a little imagination into a persons soul. When a mother deprived of sleep conjures a dream of her hitting her own child. When an annoyed employee feels like shooting their boss. When a screaming child irritates you so much on the bus you secretly wish they would suffocate.

A large portion of humans, would instantly regret imagining those scenarios, a conscious would kick in, and life will continue normally... or as good as. After all, are you not the devil himself for thinking up such a tragedy? We have all done it in the past. And ask yourself this, why do you wish something would hurt someone else. Were you hurt in your life? Of course you were, what human has not suffered at the hands of another human.

An explanation is in order as to why I went away from the topic in hand for a moment. The two boys, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, were children. Children have an imagination far superior to our own for the idea of logic and realism is not so apparent. As an adult, I am aware that walking on the ceiling is near impossible, but a child will think up of some “super cool boots that like, have gravity things in them and push you up... and they'd spark lasers and turn you into a tiger and...”

Robert and Jon were inspired... although many say through a movie, I will not confirm this. The two were inspired, their imagination got working, and evil crept in. They took the two year old toddler, James Bulger and “played” with him. The sad truth is that James could have been an incredibly gifted teenager by now, who could had done charity work, flew planes, became a hero.

The what ifs... how lovely. He could also have become a serial killer but none of that would matter because he is already long dead, body unable to grow, think, learn or move. That was the boys fault. I want say that “they were only children, they did not know what they were doing”. That is false, a child at the age of two quickly find out that hitting mummy is not a good idea. The human instinct kicks in that mummy has to stop her child hitting her and let the child know that hitting is negative. Whether done in the correct manner or not, the message is still given that hitting is not good.

Their fantasy was taken a step too far. But perhaps if they could show regret and do some good, try to help in some way, try to give something back, apologising but knowing full well their apology would not be excepted.

But then I was then shown further evil. Jon Venables is an indirect child abuser. As I have mentioned, paedophiles I sympathise with. But I have no sympathy if ANY person took the fantasy too far and caused vast amounts of psychological pain. Fantasising, absolutely fine in my point of view. Taking imagination to reality that could hurt someone, never morally right. Jon has no more excuses up his sleeve. Not a child and again, stepping over the border of imagination into reality is unjust.

The best punishment for him, reveal who he is. That would be enough to put him through the torture that others went through, the fear and anticipation of what could happen to himself. Then again, it could be the worst. There are people out there with minds where evil has crept in, telling the soul that the fantasy should be played out. It is a difficult case... but something most certainly worth thinking thoroughly about.

Racism - Pakistani men target women? I think not!

It will not be often that I shall delve into a subject of a single news bulletin, but this racist remark has left me down right angry at my British society. A claim has been made that Pakistani Men are grooming white women as "easy meat". This verdict has been made on two evil doing men. Apparently it is justifiable to pin point millions of people on two men that have sexually abused women.

I am sorry, I shall not see this as being fact. I do not see why monsters could be picked out more easily based on a cultural background, gender or for what group they belong to. Believe it or not a human is an extremely complex creature that is motivated for different reasons. The most innocent of people could have murdered, those that have committed offences once, don't always commit again. Certain events can change a person's personality both drastically and barely.

I did not know that humans were still picked out for petty things as this as to what kind of people they could potentially be. Our society is still very closed minded and Nazi like. If they're a Jew, are they wrong? No. If a man is from a council estate, will he be doing drugs? No. How dare our politicians base a handful of individual people to represent a larger mass.

Why does racism exist? I have had numerous partners, from such a vast amount of backgrounds. Although the cultures and ways of life confused and thrilled me (as the human mind is a curious matter), never once did I see my other one as "black" or "white". They were a person I was dating, that was all that mattered to me.

I should indeed look at the other side, as to why this man Jack Straw may be correct. Perhaps my ordeal with an Asian man that had sexually assaulted myself when I was a child should have made me think that he be correct. But one of my partners was Asian and a pleasant being at that. So tell me this, should I trust Jack to tell me what group I should and should not be with?

I am sorry for my abrupt anger and immature attitude at this news article. Below are links to the news articles themselves. I hope people comment on this though, and thank you for reading through my thoughts.

Taboo - Pedophile

My blogs will glance deeply into topics that have been viewed as only having one point of view. That is why I plead that you open your mind and try to see the full picture of evil, that it occurs from many events.

It would be wonderful if someone may come forward and express a moment in their life where they have felt a form of evil present or read a moment which has disgusted you. This could be in any form, Murders, Thefts, Terrorism, Religion, Science, Morals, Abortion; any topic you feel needs to be delved in deeper.

Until then I shall start the ball rolling on something highly controversial. Pedophilia.

Although pedophilia tends to be wrongly associated by an adult that molests a minor, this is incorrect. A pedophile is any person that can only find sexual attraction towards a child before puberty. Adults and teenagers are found to be repulsive in that manner. A pedophile does not need to commit an offence of sexually assaulting a child either to be one.

In many countries, to be homosexual is illegal. Many people within the western culture understand that being gay is something that a person is born with and therefore cannot be helped. It is also highly opinionated that a gay person should be allowed to express their feelings, not forced to hide it away. A one on one sexual relationship with two homosexual partners does not cause any problems for society or for the other person.

The problem with a pedophile is that a one on one sexual relationship would cause severe psychological scarring. A child has not developed true understandings and morals, meaning the event would not be interpreted correctly. The event lingers for the rest of their life, and a large percentage of times, leaving them with too many difficulties.

As trying to "cure" Judaism, Aboriginal or Homosexual people can be viewed as evil and Nazi like, so can trying to cure a pedophile... in one respect. But there is the point that such person would never be able to have a good relationship that caused no harm. So perhaps "curing" the condition does not seem so far fetched. The problem is there is no cure and there have been people trying to find ways.

In short, I personally feel greatly sympathetic towards people with such a condition. There is no one they can really turn to and no way of stopping the temptation. To anyone with such temptations that does no commit the offence, I feel very proud that a human can do such a thing. But do not get me wrong, I have absolutely no sympathy for a child molester!

What I am trying to get at is maybe the percentage of children that are hurt could be reduced if a pedophile had someone to talk to and get problems off of their chest. Perhaps that would reduce the temptation and frustrations for them... and even potential child molester's. Maybe some people will read this that have those wrong thoughts within their mind but that they are not a pedophile, simply someone with a loss of way, little confidence and are lonely. Surely there is a way they could seek help without being ridiculed. There must be a way of utopia for them to keep the young ones within a naive sanctuary of childhood.

So please, post your comments. I understand I will get vastly crude comments aimed at myself personally.
