To know how painful it was and how bad it fucked you up and just turn around and do it to someone else who can't defend themselves, that's the very definition of 'monster'

Good for him, maybe he should get a fucking parade because he likes to think about fucking children.

What's courageous? The fact he wants to, but does not fuck kids?
Yes, he is a true hero. You are right.

This friend of mine is not a monster. He's one of the nicest, most caring, most giving guys I've ever known.

Unfortunately, he's also only attracted to kids. What am I supposed to say to him if he gives in to this attraction? "You're a fucking disgusting human being, get out of my sight, stop talking to me?" No. I honestly don't know how I would handle it if I heard he did something. Probably, part of me would blame him and part would sympathize.

He's courageous, though. He's dealing with it. That doesn't sound like what a monster would do. He's more courageous than I am. I don't have anything heavy like that to deal with.

Give me a break. I'm not saying he's a hero or that he deserves a parade.

He's trying hard to do the right thing, and I think it's admirable.

Yes, one to be truly admired this kiddie porn freak you know.

Some people are so twisted up in their head it blows my fucking mind.

Somehow someone telling you 'I like kiddie porn' turned into you admiring them and thinking they are a courageous hero.

You don't understand addiction do you? People don't always choose their problems.

Nobody should be held accountable if they are 'addicted' to something?

I am addicted to paying my rent, so I think I'll rob a currency exchange.

Will it not be my fault? Will everyone sit and talk about how it's not my fault because it's an addiction and blah blah blah?

That's a false dichotomy.

Of course they're responsible. They should face disapproval for their actions, even if they have to struggle like mad to contain themselves.

These guys walk around all day telling themselves what pieces of shit they are. They don't need us chiming in.

Obviously they do, maybe you've noticed that child sexual abuse is pretty fucking rampant in this country.
Them simply trying not to fuck a kid dosen't seem to be working to well in most cases.
