Jeez, either say it or don't. Don't post pretentious comments that basically say "I'm too intelligent for you peons". They pretty much invite the very criticism you're so afraid of. Then again, asking Mathalamus not to be pretentious is like asking water not to be wet, so I guess I'm the real idiot here.

if you really want to know, i declared pedophilia to be a mental illness, and should get help for it. if you haven't committed any crimes of that nature. unfortunately, sources of help for people who are pedophiles is very limited, if it exists at all. to date, I'm the only one who seems to realize that it actually is a mental illness, and should be treated as such. you may think I'm being pretentious, but i think you are just being extremely hostile for no reason.

That's it? That's your "controversial" opinion? If you think that believing pedophilia to be a mental illness puts you in a minority in your area, you might just live at NAMBLA's headquarters. And if I seem hostile, it's mainly because almost every single comment I see you make is just some thinly veiled excuse to jerk off your own ego and portray yourself as a misunderstood genius. It's pretty ridiculous.

You are being pretentious. "I declared it a mental illness," indeed. man, give it a break. To date, you're the only one who managed to be this incredibly ridiculous about a very, VERY pedestrian opinion.

"I declare" as if this nincompoop came up with the idea. It is a mental illness but I prefer not to mess around with the safety of children. So I would rather throw their scumbag asses in jail where they belong.

Actually, there are studies and psychologists who approach pedophilia as a mental illness that can be treated (to a degree). There was a controversial article written on it in the last year or so in the New York Times (I believe). The psychologist has some interesting, if very disturbing, insight on pedophilia and was trying to open more doors for treatment and help individuals self identify. It was hard to read but eye opening. The goal of such treatment is to keep pedophiles from acting on their dangerous, harmful, and illegal impulses.

36, that's the point. This guy didn't come up with shit, he just jerked his ego. It's like those king of the hill episodes where Peggy acts like she came up with everything, comically ridiculous.

I'm not even sure if the guy is self-aware, tbqh. Makes me feel kind of bad to bag on him.

Mentioning her tit size was absolutely important here, I see.

Yes

you can also be 16 with parents permission and signature but I see what you mean ☺

I've known several people to get tattoos underage, either by doing them themselves at home or going somewhere really dodgy. My ex had his first tattoo at the age of 13 because his dad's friend was a tattoo artist and was willing to tattoo him for some reason. Needless to say, it was a pretty poor tribal piece and he regretted it within a couple of years.

How in the hell did you draw that conclusion? You have absolutely NOTHING on OP's bf for you to come to such a conclusion. Your comment shows just how ignorant your thought process is to be honest. And personally, I have been confused for a preteen many times. I guess personality played zero part in getting me a boyfriend because according to your logic, every single one of my exes are pedophiles. Smh.

That's terrible that you had to prove to the cops that he wasn't creepy :( But your family is absolutely adorable!!!

thanks #49! im still figuring out fml so i didnt know how to check back for responses. i had to read through every fml to find my comment lol. we still get the people asking for id and the dirty looks. being interracial, the height and weight difference, the "age" difference (everyone assumes we are 10 years apart because i look young but im 2 weeks older than him lol) and the people harrassing him saying he's a child molester for being attracted to someone who looks young (load of bull doo doo really) but our genes together made a happy and cute baked potato so people will have to deal with it!
