I agree that life is not composed of just two extreme sides, despite what Ive been saying here number 3 is in fact my favouruite number purely because its reflects the primary variations in life, god created hot, cold and then "warm" which falls in between the two exteremes, and of course there are any other variations then just 3 but its is the most basic foundation to everything in life, even peoples natures and thoughts that shift from time to time however what I am refering to here is to a specific situation where the crime commited was not a slip up because it begins with various steps and they have a chance to realise their mistakes at every step yet they they keep escalading to the next level and that sort of act requires a concious and intentionial decission, it begins with...........

step 1 - a pedophile parent.

step 2 - a pedohile parent who is attracted to their kids.

step 3 - a pedophile parent who is attracted to and molests their kids.

step 4 - a pedophile parent who who is attracted to and molests their kids and makes movies and picture of them.

step 5 - a pedophile parent who who is attracted to and molests their kids and makes movies and picture of them and then trades them with other people.

Do you see where I am going with this? there were 5 long steps for them to realise their thought or actions were perhaps wrong and to come to more sensible conclusion, when you break all 5 steps then it can not be considered a "slip up" but in fact a process that was well thought out.

There are no excuses for some things, we dont just slip up and murder people do we ? Some things require consious action no matter whether your in the black, white or grey area.
