The men, the catching and exposing of online predators, the problem of pedophilia in general...
Either phrase could be used and it wouldn't change my feelings on the subject.
So what if one couple of parents deems their 14 year old mature enough for consensual sex?
Do we still incarcerate the adult in this situation?

Thats fine, but I believe people watching these shows is a good thing. I don't see why the people behind them shouldn't reap rewards over doing something good. Why does doing good mean you're not allowed to profit?
would you feel better if they stopped the whole "To Catch A Predator" series?
What these men are doing, or intending to do, is a real serious problem. Propositioning a teenage girl online to meet for sex is sick and I don't find entertainment value in any facet of that sickness. I don't think it's funny.
I don't think it's satisfying.
But, maybe that's just me. I'm not the type who'd rally around a public hanging, either.
If you don't think it's funny, watch the guy they catch twice, and each times he says in a very Forrest Gumpish way, "Oops"....
I would, actually. The organization that is working to trap these men could still function just fine without being televised.
They're both 14. Expect a followup from Dateline.
Damn, now I really regret what I said in those PM's to each of them.....
actually, I'm Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC. PM5K may I ask what you are doing here?
yeah, really.. I just find these guys answers entertaining. They all respond the same way.. "she said she was 18" "I wasn't doing ANYTHING." "No I didn't bring condoms.. I always carry them in my car". It's such BS and that's why I find it funny.
I'm actually gay, so hah!
Yeah, and these predators could function just fine without all that extra attention or awareness.
Yeah the "I always have condoms thing is funny", I bet these losers never get laid....
"I was just testing it.."
CF, would you agree that by this show being aired, it is making potential online predators think twice about meeting these teens?
so you like little boys? you're sick!!
No I like big boys, very big boys...
Sig worthy.
I love the ones that say, I was just here to tell her how dangerous this is.
Hard to say. I've got real questions about someone who'd engage in this behavior having a strong grasp on reality and, therefore, I'm not sure they'd ever be willing to admit the possibility of getting caught.

I know I've said enough to both of you that you'd never believe that...Sig worthy.
It's not sigworthy for me, I love my sig, it's from the Judge I was taking care of, and for the record, she's thirty eight...
Oh and for the record I'm twenty seven, so if anybody is molesting anybody......
I really don't know what else to say to this... you seem to be sympathizing more with the predators than with the operation of helping catch them. I'm sure you're not, but it just really sounds that way. You really don't see the benefit about this being broadcast nationwide? I guess not... those poor predators are suffering because NBC is greedy for money and ratings, I guess.

"And I just brought this 6pack over to tell you how dangerous it is to drink alcohol while in a hot tub."
"Oh!, the condoms? They...........They're............Um, Have you ever made water balloons?"
Could not possibly be farther from my views, actually.
I have no sympathy whatsoever for the men that are caught being dumbasses. None. I have a problem with the whole "online predator" issue being used as entertainment.
In my opinion, the minute someone laughs at one of the re ed answers thrown out by one of these guys, it makes light of a very serious problem.
The fact that a grown man with a kid would solicit sex online from an underage girl disgusts me. The fact that he'd try to explain it away with some half brained excuse as if he didn't do anything wrong disgusts me. I have a problem with something that I find to be so disgusting being used as entertainment or inspiring laughter. THAT is my issue.
I don't see how that can be so difficult to understand.
