    it seems like most of the guys they catch arent the twisted love to have sex with kids type

    These guys are just losers and lonely as hell, they stand 0 chance with women, then some girl on line says they are cute and that she wants to make out with them, oh by the way then she says she is 14,15,or 16, but she says she doesnt care about age and wants to meet them, and then they give in

    The main problem with these public humiliation shows is that eventually people will begin to feel sorry for the person falling into the trap.

    I don't think I could ever feel sorry for a pedophile.

    I don't feel sorry for any of these pedos, so I am fine in enjoying these shows. I always try to catch them when I can.

    However, haven't there been some guys who drive by, do a U-turn and still get arrested? In those cases, I'd let them go since they just drove by instead of going into the house expecting to get some action. Kind of a gray area there...

    Btw, I'd think it'd be hilarious if a 16 year old pretended to be a 35 year old and meets up at the house, making it the adult decoy talking dirty to a kid.

    That guy is more honest than about 99% of the people I know in the world.

    I think once they show up they have shown intent, hence them getting arrested.

    I find this show to be terrible. It's like Cops who sell drugs to people, then arrest them for buying the drugs. Would these people act on their impulses, if they were not given the opportunity? In addition, I have a fine distinction for what I think pedophilia really is. To me, it occurs when someone is attracted to a PRE-pubescent individual rather than some 15/16 year old. If the girl is developed, she is an adult. Everything else is cultural.

    So if you had a 15-16 year old daughter you'd have no problem with older men having sexually charged conversation with them as long as your daughter was developed?

    Well, there's a difference between being pissed off about it and sending the guy to jail, ya see. I don't think these guys should be trying to get into high schoolers' panties but I'm not sure their lives should be ruined over it, either.

    I meant to put that disclaimer -- you touch my daughters -- I'll kell ya. ;)
    I would not go so far to say they're pedos, though. My daughter would receive a talking, but I couldn't stop her. Don't forget, in the 1800s you would have older guys marrying 14 year olds here in America. See Poe and his 13 year old cousin.

    Yeah but it is against the laws on the books. Also the impression I get from some of these guys is that when they are caught on TV isn't thier first time and who knows who young the other girls are that they've messed with.

    I hear you but as long as the law states a person is adult at 18, in most cases, then that's the law. I could argue that I don't need to drive 55 because I am more than capable to handle my car at 70 but that wouldn't get me out of a speeding ticket

    the impression i get is they have addictive personalities and are immensely lonely. i think they have a very tough time resisting the allure of sexual attention. i think they need counseling. i think they need help. i think they need to be punished under the law.

    i don't think it needs to be a primetime show.

    Probably right but its there and if its presented as entertainment at least it has some redeeming value as opposed to the majority of other stuff that's on TV

    Some countries are less restrictive than the US on the legal definition of pedophile crimes. If two resident aliens, say 15 and 19, were legally married in their native country, would their marriage be nullified in US? Moreover, would the 19-year old be arrested and charged for having sex with his/her adolescent spouse in US?

    That host is such an arrogant prick that I almost find myself siding with the pedophiles.

    If I were a pedophile and got caught on this show, I wouldn't give that dude the satisfaction of even talking to him, much less totally opening up to him like that pot smoking family guy dude.

    And make no mistake about it...this show isn't serving the common good, it's just exploiting these people. If the show was just interested in serving the common good, they would just arrest the guys instead of taunting them for 10 minutes before the cops show up.

    i feel sorry for them too sometimes when they admit that they're losers and cant talk to women...and if he didnt taunt them for 10 mins, there would be no point in watching...
