Today, I read Jill’s (aka Scary Mommy‘s!) excellent post on The Stir — Top 10 Reasons I Hate Your Kids. Â Jill is hysterical, as always, and her list is great–and totally relatable. Â Because, duh. Kids are gross.
I read, I laughed and I left a comment. Â It has since been removed, so I don’t have it verbatim, but it went something like this:
Great post! I hate kids, too! I swear, I don’t know how pedophiles do it!
I left the comment and went on with my day. Â Washing the lepers’ wounds and all that.
And then I checked back.
To see this response to my comment:
This was a very funny article, but the above comment is truly disturbing. Why the hell would you drag a topic like pedophiles into this? You’re pretty much just as sick for letting your mind even go there. Wtf???
OMG, do you think she’s right?
Am I as bad as a pedophile?!
And she wasn’t alone:
“This was a very funny article, but the above comment is truly disturbing. Why the hell would you drag a topic like pedophiles into this? You’re pretty much just as sick for letting your mind even go there. Wtf???”
I agree. What?!?!
How do pedophiles “do it” ?
Pedophiles do not love and care for children, they abuse them and ruin their lives.
The article was funny enough but that comment was just sad.
It was. Â So, so sad.
But every day is an opportunity to learn something new, so I’m grateful that I learned that pedophiles don’t really love children, and don’t, in fact, have their best interests at heart.
For the record, I oppose pedophilia. Â Very, very strongly.
And I also oppose people who have no fucking sense of humor.
